Texas A&M guard Alex Caruso (21) defends against Tennessee guard Josh Richardson (1) Saturday at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville.KNOXVILLE – Josh Richardson took the low-key approach for moving past Tennessee’s last-second basketball loss to Texas A&M.
Losing on a late 3-pointer after letting a 14-point halftime lead slip away Saturday required such action.
Or inaction, perhaps.
“It was difficult,” Richardson said before the Volunteers practiced Tuesday in Thompson-Boling Arena. “It was real difficult, losing like that. I don’t know what everybody else did, but I just kind of slept all [Sunday]. Went to church, slept and tried not to think about it.”
With what’s ahead on the schedule and what’s at stake, it’s imperative Tennessee doesn’t let the loss to the Aggies linger.
