Vanderbilt needed late heroics from Tyrin Lawrence to beat Tennessee on Wednesday night. On Saturday, they didn’t need a buzzer beater — just a career day from Liam Robbins.
Somehow, an SEC officiating crew started the game in “let them play” mode. Not that there was a ton of contact either way, but it was a full ten minutes into the game before the game reached the under-16 media timeout with Vanderbilt leading 24-22 — and that timeout was actually a called timeout by Florida. It was at the 7:12 mark that the game saw its first foul on either team.
