It wasn’t always pretty, but No. 5 Tennessee got things done tonight at Missouri. It required a comeback, Dalton Knecht heroics and some mental toughness, but it eventually all clicked for the Vols in the second half.
We had us a good, old fashioned rock fight to start things in Columbia. Neither side could find the bottom of the net for the opening five minutes, until finally Jordan Gainey came up with a steal and a slam to break the seal. Ugly basketball continued for most of the first half with some really physical play around the rim.
