On one had hand we were down 14 and on the verge of getting blown out. Did not quit and got to within 5 at half (NT almost drilled a 3 at buzzer that would have brought house down).
Hit big shot after big shot to build a lead in 2nd half. Most was from 3 that could end at any time ( and it did). Tenn is big and physical inside and we got very little down low. Tenn finally stopped shooting 3s and driving. We fouled a lot, they got some generous calls.
Looked like the moment got to us in the end but a great effort. Lot to build on. It took an amazing effort from #3 to beat us.
Someone on Vent said we choked. Don’t think that is fair. We lost and gave up lead but they made a lot of plays. Went to game with a UT friend and he impressed at our improvement.
