Protection conveyed part of the story and was the positive important point. Tennessee permitted just one field objective in the last 11:57 of guideline. It was a goaltend on a dunk endeavor with 3:38 to play. Texas Tech was 4-for-24 on 3-pointers and shot 31.1% from the field.

The Vols missed 18 straight 3-pointers extending from late in the main half until Santiago Vescovi hit one with 1:55 to play to tie the game at 41.

James expressed Tennessee got "all that we could want similar to looks."
"We didn't make enough of them," Barnes said. "We simply required, you consider it, a couple of additional, possibly would have the top off of it. However, it didn't."
James sent the game to extra time — to the shame of the group — with a 3-pointer with 31 seconds to play. It was fitting recovery after James tumbled to the court when he went up for an open-court dunk minutes early. He said his knee sprained and gave out on him.
