March 22, 2025 – Lexington, KY** – Tennessee guard Chaz Lanier electrified Rupp Arena during the Vols’ NCAA Tournament run, delivering clutch performances that propelled his team forward. The sharpshooter erupted for key three-pointers against UCLA in the second round, celebrating with visible emotion after big baskets that helped secure Tennessee’s advancement.
Earlier in the tournament, Lanier showcased his versatility—attacking the rim against Wofford in the first round while also setting up teammates with crisp passes. His backcourt chemistry with Zakai Zeigler was on full display, with the duo celebrating Tennessee’s SEC Tournament semifinal win over Auburn just days before March Madness began.
Photos captured Lanier in action throughout the postseason:

The North Florida transfer has emerged as a vital piece for Rick Barnes’ squad, providing scoring punch and veteran leadership during Tennessee’s tournament push. His performances at Rupp Arena and Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena have cemented his status as one of the Vols’ most reliable offensive weapons when the lights shine brightest.
