Vols' starting-lineup intro thoughts: Awesome video, could do better on the song. And needs much more volume.

Crowd is OK for an early non-conference game.
Props to the students. They're out in force tonight.

Two possessions and two turnovers for the Vols.
Some jitters, it seems.

KSU guard drives for 2 — tough bucket — but Kenny answers with an and-1. Misses FT, though.
Stokes beats a double-team and scores, then steals the ball and feeds Golden, who races down for a layup. Then Golden gets the ball on a board and feeds Richardson for a transition slam.
Vols 10, KSU 6, 13:45/1stH. Media timeout on the floor.

Vols still too loose with the ball on offense against KSU's pressure defense.
Stokes getting doubled every time he touches the ball, and McBee not getting much space outside.

There's the first 3. McRae pulls up in transition and splashes one Cuonzo-style.

McRae picks up his 2nd foul — LOTS of whistles so far — so McBee will check back into the lineup.
Vols 15, KSU 11, 10:13/1stH.

Trae Golden called for his 2nd foul because the Kennesaw State PG fell down.
Yep. I still don't like the stripes.

Stokes is big-boyin' KSU a bit down low now. Putback, then another bucket plus a foul. Misses and-1, though.
Vols 22, KSU 16.

Jarnell Stokes is handling the ball a lot more and being a playmaker. Threading some great passes in there. Impressive.
Moore to the line for 2 more FT tries. First rims out — tough luck there — and makes the second.
Vols 27, KSU 19, 5:49/1stH.

McBee with another 3, but then Chievous called for a bang-bang block. Tough call. Could have gone either way.
