We’re off to the SEC Championship!
The Tide opened up the first half with some nice passing movement and a quick score, but then struggled to generate much offense for a bit while Tennessee went on a 9-0 run. The Volunteers, particularly Keon Johnson, apparently put a magnet in the ball and the rim on their end of the court, as it felt like they couldn’t miss. There were shots that hit the corners of the rim and weird spots on the backboard that all just kept bouncing around and eventually rolling in.
It happens.
The Tide also got called for some charges early on, adding to their struggles with offensive rhythm.
