Tennessee-Auburn part two didn’t disappoint. The Volunteers and Tigers battled — and I do mean battled — for the right to play in the SEC Championship game on Sunday. In the end, it was Tennessee coming out on top.

A wild opening half

A ridiculously hot start highlighted the first half with both sides connecting on their first four shots of the game. Two of those shots were three-pointers from Chaz Lanier, who was feeling it early on in his hometown. It was a far cry from the rock fight we saw in Auburn several weeks ago, but the pace eventually would slow down.
