Part 5/7:
The second half shifted dramatically as Tennessee exploded offensively. The Volunteers increased their shooting efficiency, converting 64% of their shots after struggling in the first half. This was a testament to their ability to adapt and exploit Georgia's defensive lapses. Dimery finally found his mark, hitting a crucial three-pointer that further extended Tennessee's lead.
With their defense tightening and the offense flowing, Tennessee pulled away significantly. The team’s continuous rotation and fresh legs helped maintain intensity while applying pressure on Georgia, who found it increasingly difficult to score against the Volunteers' formidable defense.
