INDIANAPOLIS—Tennessee alum and diehard fan Peyton Manning was in familiar territory Friday night to watch his Volunteers: Lucas Oil Stadium, home to the Indianapolis Colts. He witnessed a quarterbacking performance he could be proud of … on the hardwood.
Volunteers point guard Zakai Zeigler commanded the game from the opening minute like an elite field general, marching his team up and down the court with total control … albeit with a lot more speed than Manning ever displayed on this field. For 40 minutes, it was a dazzling display of sharp passing, fearless scoring and tenacious on-ball defense, a master class at the position from one of the sport’s most experienced players in the Vols’ 78-65 victory.
