For Star subscribers: No. 6 Tennessee was left wondering what went wrong after UA shows it can do more than just shoot.
Greg Hansen Two TV cameramen set up a bank of lights outside Tennessee’s locker room late Saturday night, poised to interview Volunteers coach Rick Barnes in an impromptu Q&A session.Barnes saw the cameras, turned away and wandered through the basement corridor of McKale Center, hands in his pockets, looking for an empty room to stage his contractual post-game radio interview, followed by a Zoom conference with reporters back in Tennessee.
What happened the next seven minutes was straight out of basketball coaching 101: Barnes was upset about the officiating. So, no, it wasn’t the officials that beat Tennessee. Just the opposite. The Pac-12 appropriately assigned its No. 1 crew to the game, Final Four veterans John Higgins, Tony Padilla and Verne Harris.
Mr. Muscle — Pelle Larsson — was the X-factor on Saturday. He scored 17 points, and, because he attacks the basket with no fear, he shot nine free throws, making all of them.During Thursday’s pre-Tennessee practice, Lloyd sometimes assigned three scout-team players to simultaneously guard a starter and try to duplicate the Volunteers’ physical nature.
If you’re going to beat Arizona, you’re going to have to force Ballo and Tubelis to shoot poorly, and refrain from fouling them. Tennessee couldn’t do either of those things. Ballo and Tubelis combined to shoot 62% and make 11 of 13 foul shots.
