• This is Tennessee's 115th season of varsity basketball.

It's going to take some time to get used to seeing Food City Center. TBA and Thompson-Boling Arena has a better flow than FCC and Food City Center. I hope they don't try this with Neyland Stadium. Seeing Dishtv Field or Tennessee Farm Bureau Stadium would be sad.

The Live Stats link sure is wonky right now. UT with the LR logo. Results for MIZZOU 79 TENN 71. I hope they clean that up by tip off.
