The shots just kept falling for No. 13 Tennessee in the first half of their semifinal rout of Arkansas on Saturday. Kentucky freshmen Wenynen Gabriel and the Wildcats know the feeling.
Gabriel went 7 for 7 from 3-point range, leading Kentucky past Alabama to set up a championship game showdown on Sunday at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis with the surging Volunteers.
Tennessee hit 11 of its first 12 shots and shot 76 percent overall in racing out to a commanding 48-29 halftime lead over Arkansas. Jordan Bone scored 17 of his 19 points in the first half and the Volunteers won their sixth straight game.
