Our Tennessee Vols won their fourth-straight game Friday by doubling up hapless Tennessee Tech 103-49. Here are three things.
Springer the Springboard
Freshman guard Jaden Springer played a borderline transcendent game against Tech Friday evening. Now, forgive my tinge of dramatic flair — context always matters, and Springer wasn’t exactly playing the USA Olympic basketball team. But, regardless, his performance and subsequent stat-line look like they were graced by King Midas and effectively blurred the line between him playing a kid’s game, and him creating living, breathing art.
He led the team with 21 points in just shy of 22 total minutes and made the defense feel him from a variety of places on the court.
