Vols in control of most stats in 1stH against Wichita State, but Shockers staying close thanks to 4 3s. Vols have just 1.

Glad to see our offense finally getting some steam, especially Yemi getting some points.
Hey Wes, how do you get the best seat under the basket? Does press the draw straws or something?

Wichita State just got its second taunting technical of the evening.
At least the refs don't want to decide this good game...

Trae Golden and-1 puts UT back in front. Questionable call, but UT will take it.

The "best seats" for media at UT basketball games actually are those closest to the corner, away from the basket, along the front row. That's where the Associated Press and News Sentinel writers usually sit. Sitting closer to the basket, like where Wes is, may put you closer to the action, but it also causes the basket to block your view of more areas of the court.

WSU rallies to take the lead, Vols fight back with 4 Golden points and retake the lead.
Crowd getting louder.

I was asked yesterday if I thought UT would score more then 40 points, and fortunately I guessed right. Still too close a game to call either way, though...

I think Wes could take the stick figure in the corner to his left and the bald guy in the corner to his right. AP staff or not.
