Boswell's Defense Silences Houston in Vols' Big Win
26 Nov
Summary
- Bishop Boswell played a crucial defensive role against Houston.
- Boswell limited a key Houston player to fewer points.
- Tennessee secured a significant non-conference victory over Houston.

Bishop Boswell emerged as a critical defensive force for Tennessee in their 76-73 victory against No. 3 Houston. Despite minimal playing time last season, Boswell embraced his role as a defensive stopper for the Volunteers. His standout performance included significantly limiting Houston's freshman Kingston Flemings, a key factor in Tennessee's ability to control the game's tempo. This win bolsters Tennessee's standing as an SEC contender. Boswell's defensive intensity, particularly during a seven-minute stretch where Tennessee held Houston to a single point, proved decisive. Coach Sampson acknowledged Boswell as the "toughest guy on the floor."
