Two scares in a row will have people questioning what in the world is going on, even though both games ended up wins for Tennessee basketball. Then it was West Virginia’s turn, could they be the team that pulled the upset?
The Mountaineers jumped out to a 19-7 lead in the first nine minutes. West Virginia hit four out of their first seven attempts from deep, and it was beginning to look like another game that would come down to the wire.
After starting a dreadful 1-for-7 from the floor, including 0-for-4 from the three-point line, Tennessee began to turn things around.
