Just a few weeks ago the national media descended on Memphis to market what was the highest ranked regular season basketball game of the year. The media machine was in full force, and Tennessee and Memphis did not disappoint. If only for one night Tennessee (of all places in these United States) was the center…

But the bright spot is that today is also “The Day of the Bracket”. Everyone frantically printing brackets and trying to figure out who is going to be this year’s George Mason. It really is a good time of year. For all those teams that made it through the long 30+ game regular season, now…

After beating Florida 89-86 on Wednesday night, Bruce Pearl said it best when he reminded everyone that we are champions and fans should take the time to enjoy and appreciate what this team has accomplished. After all, these ‘outright’ championships don’t come around often. It’s been 41 years since the last one and you can…

Tennessee travels to Gainesville on Wednesday night looking to clinch at least a share of the SEC title with a victory. The Vols also have the opportunity to get their school record 27th win on the season. One more than the 1999-2000 team which finished 26-7 on the year.
