[QUOTE="Vinegarben, post: 1976952, member: 748339"] There is an article on SB Nation that basically says Shannon didn't show up in prime time. I take exception to that. Tennessee's game plan was to mug him, grab him, hold him to keep him from getting his shot up. They did that to a certain extent. He still scored 22 points which is 1 more than the Vols superstar Knecth who had 21 mostly open shots. Shannon didn't have his usual game but to say he didn't shine in primetime is a joke. He got to the foul line 11 times and made all 11 shots. He was fouled and mauled several other times but the refs swallowed the whistle. No doubt TJS is one of the top players in the country that isn't connected to Duke, NC or Kansas. [/QUOTE]
