SEC play is stressful. Tennessee played another nail-biter last night in South Carolina, edging the Gamecocks in the end. The win got the Vols to 4-3 in the conference and 13-5 overall. Here are three things that stuck out to me.
Tennessee survived the hot-shooting Gamecocks with outstanding execution down the stretch.
Tennessee once held a pretty comfortable lead against South Carolina. At one point down the stretch, that lead got up to eight points. Then, South Carolina couldn’t miss. They were shooting over 50 percent from long range before the closing possessions, where they went cold.
