Yes, But

Wofford showed promise early, tying the game at 27 and trailing by just three at halftime. Tennessee’s second-half surge erased that competitive start.

What’s Next

The Terriers visit North Carolina on Friday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. on ACC Network, then host Allen University on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m., opening Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium.

Bottom Line

Wofford’s first-half resilience was overwhelmed by Tennessee’s efficiency and interior scoring; the Terriers now have two quick opportunities to regroup.
