Vols 59, Kennesaw State 33, 11:56/2ndH.
Media timeout on the floor.
UT clamping down defensively, and Owls can't get much.

FT shooting really needs to improve. It won't cost them the game tonight, but it will in the foreseeable future if this keeps up.
Go Vols

KSU on a 13-2 run. Vols have started napping, I think.
The KHall makes both ends of a 1-and-1, though.
Vols 65, KSU 47, 7:23/2ndH.

Delbert Love is going off for KSU. Just hit a 3. Has 10 of KSU's past 12 points.
Richardson gets fouled on the other end, though. Bad foul for KSU on an elbow jumper. Richardson makes one, Vols rebound the second.
Stokes and a KSU guy in a showing match. Not wise from that Owl, IMO.

Now a different Kennesaw State player is pushing Kenny Hall after the timeout. These are some feisty Owls. I kinda like it. Scrappy.

Vols PG Trae Golden has missed 3 FTs tonight. Sometimes he doesn't do that in a month.

Vols letting this lead somewhat slip away. We'll still win tonight, but we need to be able to put teams away.

McBee settles things down with a big 3 from the corner. Great drive/dish from Golden to set him up.
Vols 73, KSU 57, 2:56/2ndH.
Timeout Owls.

Randy Smith is just as clueless broadcasting basketball as he is football. At least he hasn,t called anybody Jason Hunter yet.

Tennessee's gonna win tonight, but Cuonzo Martin has every right to be furious with the Vols for this lackadaiscal finish.

Cuonzo on Vols Jr G Jordan McRae: "He comes off the bench, but he's a starter for us." Instant offense off the bench.

Cuonzo said this just wasn't Makanjuola's kind of game — KSU's a tough matchup — so he knew he wasn't gonna play much.

Cuonzo: "We have to take pride in dominating teams when we have an opportunity. ...You have to finish ball games."

TN just didn't play well tonight. KSU is an terrible team; we got out-rebounding overall and let them end up with a OR% over 40% and FTR just under 50%. They took 9 more shots than we did. This game gave us a glimpse at what TN has to work on without Maymon and it also cast considerable doubt on the notion that Q is a serviceable fill in at the 4. Certainly he wasn't tonight, but it was his debut and maybe he can grow into it.
But it was good to see that McBee has really gained confidence in his shot. He had no hesitation and hit at least one tremendous 3 where he didn't really even have his feet set. McRae look confident as well as was able to finish at least 1 "and-one" with contact; which is a key for his development.
He and Jordy will have to really step if we are to perform anywhere near re-season expectations until Jeronne can get back. And of course, Trae has to be bigger for us, but I expect him to be.
