Vols' Nate Ament headed to the line for two after this media timeout on the floor
This is where teams with Tennessee's depth should start really leaning on opponents

Tennessee's Amaree Abram a bit gimpy.
Not sure what's wrong, but there's a hitch.
Then J.P. Estrella got stepped on and rolled his ankle. My goodness, the bad luck for that kid.

I get why you might be tempted to call that an intentional foul on Tre White ... but you just can't.
That's so soft. It has to be a common foul.
Good common sense there from the refs.

Bishop Boswell with another steal.
And Kansas' Tre White fouls him in frustration on the breakaway. That's his fourth. Awful decision there from a key veteran.

Away-from-the-ball foul on Bishop Boswell will give Kansas an extra possession after that KU three.
Officials want to look at this one. Interesting, after not looking at the one earlier.
