The Minute After: Tennessee
Thoughts on a 66-62 win against the Volunteers:
This certainly didn’t have the feel of a charity exhibition.
Indiana and Tennessee both played with intensity. Each squad got after it on defense. Things got chippy at times.
But that didn’t mean this was always pretty, high-level basketball. The first half was rough offensively for both squads. Indiana started the game with four straight turnovers on offense. The Hoosiers missed all 11 of their 3-point attempts. The Volunteers weren’t much better from distance, going just 3-of-20. As each team entered halftime, neither scored over .70 points per possession in the first half (Indiana: .61, Tennessee: .68).
