Stats - eerily close

[TennNC]

You won't see many games where both teams' stats are this close.

Both took the same # of FTs. They made 2 more.

Both had 27 rebounds. They had 3 more offensive, we had 3 more defensive.

We shot 51% from the field, they shot 46%.

Both teams made 24 FGs. They took 5 more FGs than we did.

We had 7 different guys score, they had 8.

They had 12 assists and 11 turns, we had 11 assists and 10 turns.

Both teams played at an extremely high level. The last 90 seconds probably sour the first 38:30 for us, but that was exceptional basketball on both sides.

We had about 11 mentally tough players, they had 12. That was the difference.

Close stats. Two plays in the first half bothered me the most. A missed shot was rebounded after it hit the floor around the 3 point line by a MSU player as it looked like about 3 Vols just looked at each other, MSU got a 2 pointer from it. Also thought the last bucket of the first half was just too easy.
