Tennessee overcame a sluggish start to Wednesday’s game with a strong second half and beat the now oh-and-eight USC Upstate Spartans 80-60. Here are three things.
One Half, Two Half, Red Half, Blue Half
Tennessee’s performance in the first half of Wednesday’s game was a bit concerning, at least at the surface, considering the Vols are the No. 8 team in the country, USC Upstate was and is still winless for the year and Tennessee was a 34-point favorite to win. UT went into halftime with a 33-to-26 lead having shot 41 percent from the field, 20 percent from 3-point range and allowed USC Upstate to hit 39 percent of its shots and 40 percent of its looks from beyond the arc.
