• TJ Lang injury
Early in the first half Lang went down with what looked like a pretty serious injury and did not return to the game. Head coach Bruce Pearl said after the game that Lang suffered an ankle/Achilles injury and is questionable for Saturday’s game against 10th ranked Xavier.
Freshman Bryce Brown picked up some additional playing time in his absence. He finished the game with 8 points and 4 rebounds. If Lang misses any games the Tigers will need Brown to step up.

• T.J. Dunans’ energy
Every good college basketball team has that one player that just simply out hustles everybody else on the court, and that player for the Tigers was Dunans on Tuesday night.
