Jaylen Carey gets Elite 8 technical foul for shoulder hit vs Michigan

The physicality extended beyond the whistle as No. 1 seed Michigan pulled away from No. 6 seed Tennessee in the second half of Sunday, March 29’s Midwest region final at United Center.

Tennessee forward Jaylen Carey was given a dead-ball contact technical foul with fewer than 15 minutes remaining after he intentionally slammed his shoulder into the shoulder of Michigan’s Morez Johnson Jr. after a jump ball.

Johnson had been jawing with Volunteers guard Amari Evans after both went after a rebound, but the two had already appeared to have been separated by teammates when Carey entered the fray.
