COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Tennessee’s Trae Golden watched Notre Dame’s five-overtime victory against Louisville earlier this month and thought there was no way he’d ever be involved in a game like that.
Boy, was the star point guard wrong.
Golden scored a career-high 32 points to lead Tennessee to its fifth straight win, a 93-85 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday in a marathon four-overtime game.
“To come out here and play something like that is crazy,” Golden said. “It got to a point in the second or third overtime where I was asking guys: ‘What number of overtime is this?’ It was crazy, but just something we had to push through.”
The Volunteers were up by one point in the fourth overtime when Golden scored four straight points to make it 85-80.
