This was better. You may not be in the mood to compare consecutive double digit losses, and that’s fair, but this was a notable improvement over our midweek thumping in Columbia.
The problem is that Tennessee is much better than South Carolina. The Vols are a legitimate threat to win the SEC, and the unfortunate truth is that we just can’t hang when they make as few mistakes as they made today.
First Half
We hit three of our first four shots. That’s good! We then hit one of our next eight shots. That’s bad! We closed the half hitting 5-6 from beyond the arc.
