NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Chaz Lanier scored 21 points, Zakai Zeigler added 17 and No. 4 Tennessee beat Oklahoma 70-52 on Saturday in the teams' first meeting in 56 years.

Tennessee (20-4, 7-4 Southeastern Conference) took control early, hitting 14 of its first 16 shots, including going 5 for 5 from 3-point range. The Vols, who shot 60% for the game, took a 20-point lead into the break. 

Jalon Moore scored 12 points and Bryce Goodine added nine for Oklahoma (16-7, 3-7 Southeastern Conference), which dropped its second straight game to a top-five opponent after winning three of four. Jeremiah Fears scored eight points for the Sooners and tallied two steals. 

Oklahoma, who entered the day leading the SEC in free throw percentage, shot a perfect 12 of 12 from the charity stripe. 

Felix Okpara had four of Tennessee's eight blocked shots.

Oklahoma visits No. 15 Missouri on Wednesday before returning to Norman to take on LSU on Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. CT.
