Golden tees up McBee for a 3. Vols up 4-2 early and have the ball.

Nice McBee dish to Hall for a driving slam.
Victory's got a legit big guy — about 6-10 or so — who has scored a couple of times inside on Stokes and is keeping them in the game.
Golden just swished a pull-up jumper, though.
8-4 Vols.

Kenny Hall and Jarnell Stokes have both missed dunks. Odd. I think the ball might have been tipped on one of them.
Anyway, I laughed.
Vols 8, Victory 6, 15:46/MTO.
Media timeout on the floor.

Very quickly out of the timeout, McRae hits a 3, Makanjuola scores inside and Golden goes coast to coast for a lead-taking layup.

Now Stokes is cooking. Back-to-back inside buckets.

Chievous cans a 3 from the corner. Assist by Golden. That looked good. From a halfcourt set. Patient offense there.
Of course, Chievous was then backed down and scored on for an and-1.
In fairness, a couple of these Victory guys might really be in their mid-20s.

Vols 22, Victory 19, 7:41/1stH.
Still a bit sluggish, but that's why you play these exhibition games.

Back-to-back mid-range jumpers from Josh Richardson. I still really like that guy.

Makanjuola is still really good at smashing into things and fouling guys.
He's improved his offensive game, though.

Chievous is really impressing me right now.

Golden scores in transition, and Chievous gets a driving layup when Victory's big man gets lazy guarding him on the perimeter. I like Chievous at the 4 if — IF — he can defend and rebound against good teams.
Vols 30, Victory 20, 3:54/1stH. Timeout on the floor.

Victory hasn't had a bucket from the field in a while.
UT defense looks good.
