The Tennessee basketball team took a 12-point lead into halftime from the first 20 minutes where they controlled the game. However, it wasn’t always pretty; in fact, it was sluggish at times.
The Vols got off to a 9-0 start with a quick bucket from Admiral Schofield followed by a three-point jumper from Lamonte Turner. Schofield added another easy basketball around the rim, and the lead was almost to double digits in two minutes.
However, within six minutes Colgate crawled back into the game with a couple of three-point jumpers. There were a few possessions where the Vols lost position on defensive rotations and left wide open three-point shots to a team that ranks top-10 in three-point percentage.
