I'm not meaning to say that's why they initially chose Nashville. I'm just saying I understand why they continue to play it there. And I'd also argue that it being the primary location for much of this century (pre or post-expansion) is partly due to its central locality to the conference footprint. Certainly not the only reason, though.
Other than the head to heads, Bama’s resume is better. Ours is too. But whatever.
I was about to say. In my memory, Ray Mears was the first coach to get people interested in UT basketball and they all owe something to him. Even had a player riding a unicycle in warmups.Bruce sure would love all the attention he’s getting on a TN board 15 years after he was fired for his stupidity and lying.
BTW, Mears put TN basketball on the map. Not Bruce Pearl.
