The defending Summit League champion had already been almost too much for the Spartans, Illinois and Purdue to handle before grabbing only their second win over a ranked opponent in 27 tries since joining Division I in the 1998-99 season.

It was the second time the Volunteers lost on their home court to a non-conference opponent in coach Bruce Pearl’s six seasons. The loss came one day after Tennessee climbed into the Top 10 and grabbed the No. 1 RPI after beating then-No. 3 Pittsburgh.

The Vols held a 76-68 lead with 7:18 left. Oakland (6-5) used a 13-0 run of mostly free throws and took an 81-76 lead.

Tennessee (7-1) missed four free throws and a few 3-pointers down the stretch.

Brian Williams led the Vols with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

Drexel 52 No. 20 Louisville 46: In Louisville, Kentucky, Gerald Colds scored 20 points and Drexel handed Louisville its first loss in their new downtown arena.

Chris Fouch added 10 points for the Dragons (7-1), who ended Louisville’s best start in 14 years.

The Cardinals (8-1) shot 32 percent and were outrebounded 46-26.

Preston Knowles and Peyton Siva led Louisville with 13 points each but the Cardinals made one field goal over the final 8:30 as the Dragons posted their first win over a Top 25 team since 2006.

No. 22 Texas 70 North Florida 48: In Austin, Texas, Gary Johnson scored 17 points and tied his career-high with 12 rebounds for Texas.

Cory Joseph scored 18 points for the Longhorns and hit 4 of 8 3-point attempts for the Longhorns (8-2).

Texas led by 19 points at halftime and shook off a long scoring drought in the second half by holding North Florida to 28 percent shooting and outrebounding the Ospreys 51-34.

Brian Holmes and Jerron Granberry each scored 10 points for North Florida (4-6).

Texas has won 25 straight at home against non-conference opponents but now goes on the road to face North Carolina in Greensboro on Saturday and No. 14 Michigan State on Dec. 22. Coppin State, Arkansas and No. 4 Connecticut at home round out the schedule before the start of Big 12 play on Jan. 11.
