I’m pretty sure that 101 Days should be:

3/12/1993 - in what was Alan Houston’s final game as a Vol, and what should have been Wade Houston’s final game as the UT HC, Kentucky put the all-time biggest beat down on TN 101-40 at Rupp Arena in the SEC Tournament.

That one still stings. Following it up with the all time worst season by going 5-22 puts the exclamation point on that experiment. UT should never again be anybody’s first stop as a head coach.
