06. Tennessee Volunteers
Best win: Baylor Bears
Picking the best win of the non-con schedule for Tennessee isn’t an easy task. The Volunteers played some of the better teams in the country, but ultimately it came down to the win over No. 13 Baylor just before Thanksgiving. The 77-62 victory over the Bears was one of ten games in which the Vols held an opponent under 65 points this season, but since it was against a ranked team the defensive performance stood out that much more. Tennessee led by 27 at the half, but Baylor got some points back in garbage time. Chaz Lanier was dialed in from deep, making seven threes on his way to 25 points.
05. Texas A&M Aggies
Best win: Purdue Boilermakers
A few of Texas A&M’s wins this season could have ended up on this list if it weren't limited to one for each team. The Aggies played eight power conference opponents and won six of those games with the best win coming against No. 11 Purdue in Indianapolis. The Aggies traveled to the Boilermaker's backyard and walked away with the 70-66 win. The win wasn’t by any means pretty for A&M, but the Aggies had one of its best shooting nights making 44 percent from the field. Three A&M players scored in double figures with Zhuric Phelps and Pharrel Payne leading the way with 16 points each.
04. Kentucky Wildcats
Best win: Gonzaga Bulldogs
Kentucky has two wins over top ten programs this season, so it was hard to choose between the two. But, traveling to Seattle and beating Gonzaga in overtime is one of the best wins in college basketball this year, so it had to be the choice. Kentucky was without starting point guard Lamont Butler for this game, so fighting back from a 16-point halftime deficit was truly impressive. Andrew Carr had a big game for the Wildcats, scoring 19 points and grabbing seven rebounds, with Jaxson Robinson (18 points), Otega Oweh (13 points), Amari Williams (12 points), and Brandon Garrison (10 points) each adding double-digit points.
