The biggest question leading into the game was which Tennessee basketball team was going to show up. Was it going to be the team that scored 49 first-half points against Iowa? Or was the nation going to get the team that laid an egg against Auburn in the SEC Tournament Championship Game?
Tennessee got punked into a jump shooting contest in the first half, and when that usually happens, the Vols typically lose. You would think after several nauseating halves of basketball, Tennesee would understand their best offense comes from the inside-out game. But, that just seems like it isn’t the case.
