ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Tyler Smith had 14 points and eight rebounds Sunday and No. 11 Tennessee had just enough to down DePaul 57-53 at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands.

Smith's two free throws with 15 seconds left secured the victory after DePaul came within 55-53 with 49 seconds left on Mac Koshwal's layup.

Wayne Chism had 13 points and eight rebounds and Skylar McBee added nine points, making 3-of-5 3-pointers for the unbeaten Volunteers, who will play either Saint Joseph's or Purdue in Monday's title game in St. Thomas.

Chism and Smith combined to sink 11-of-20 from the floor.

Koshwal's 14 points and eight rebounds paced DePaul. Will Walker had 14 points, four rebounds and three steals, while Eric Wallace finished with 10 points and four rebounds for the Blue Demons (2-1), who shot just 33.3 percent from the field and were out-rebounded, 44-30.
