The wait is over. A giant sigh of relief could be heard all throughout the Food City Center as Tennessee finally snapped the three-game losing streak. The Vols completely dominated Louisville, winning 83-62. Ja'Kobi Gillespie had a huge 20-point second half, finishing with 23 on the night.
Rick Barnes made great use of the practice time he had all last week. The ESPN broadcast mentioned that Barnes used balloons in practice and popped them whenever the team had a turnover. When the balloons ran out, the team had to run.
Well, that strategy worked.
