Paul Finebaum explains Tennessee's late-game collapse

Paul Finebaum has offered a blunt explanation for Tennessee's late-game collapse, in comments reported by A to Z Sports as a message Volunteers fans need to hear. The assessment focused on how Tennessee finished, rather than how it started, and put the team's closing performance at the center of the discussion.

Finebaum's remarks add a prominent national voice to the reaction following the collapse. With the explanation framed in direct terms, the comments are likely to sharpen attention on Tennessee's ability to hold up late in games as the Volunteers move forward.
