    Game thread: #15 Lady Vols host #18 Alabama, Thurs., Feb 20, 6:30 ET, SECN+

    What an incredible asset J Spear is to this team...not just with her play, but with her temperament. She provides such a steadying influence and plays with such a composure. And then she flashes that big smile of hers that tells me she can be intense, but still have fun. And there is not...

    Tennessee vs Kentucky - Rick Barnes Era (with a bit of good news)

    Thanks for that info, pumper; you really did your homework. I had only gone back to 2000 and saw where the Vols had won just 5 times at Rupp with 4 of those wins coming since '18. Last year, the Vols had an offensive explosion that may have been a major factor in Calipari's leaving for Ark. I...

    Predicting AP Top 5 as of Monday 2/10

    I just didn't think that a 3 loss Duke team would drop behind a 4 loss Tn team, regardless of the 2 most recent wins. I hesitated to list Bama as #1, but I reasoned that enough voters might think they were deserving. As we all know, there's a lot of basketball to be played, and Auburn and Bama...

    The Official #4 Tennessee vs. #15 Missouri Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, SEC Network

    Does anyone else think that playing the theme from "The Magnificent 7" over the house sound system would be an appropriate tip of the hat to this team for their accomplishment on Saturday?

    Dalton Knecht Documentary!

    Remember when he hit that deep 3 over Durant...in OT if I remember correctly? So grateful Tubby didn't take him. But my favorite team was the Williams/Schofield/Bone bunch. I always felt confident about a positive outcome when that group took the court.

    Next 6 games - We might lose them all.

    I commented the other night that I see this team going 2-8, possibly 3-7 down the stretch. That wasn't a knee jerk reaction to the Ky loss, but rather an honest observation of how grueling it is to compete in this league, especially this year. So many games have gone down to the wire, and there...

    The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #12 Kentucky Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

    Can't see this team going .500 in conference play. As much of a meat grinder as this league is, I see 2-8, maybe 3-7 finish. So much talent in the SEC, but I don't know that I have watched another team that is as challenged from the 3 as TN, unless maybe Ark. Uros could be leading scorer on this...

    Game Thread: Lady Vols Vs So. Car. ; Mon Jan 27th ; Home game; 7 PM Eastern; ESPN2

    While I have thoroughly enjoyed the pace and style of this year's team along with the involvement and contribution of so many different players, I have noticed a couple of tendencies that give me cause to question a win in tonight's game: the tendency to dig a deep hole for themselves at some...

    Stories from the convoy north to Columbus.

    So good to have all of you from VolNation here in the Buckeye state!! I'm thankful that you arrived safe and hopefully, sound, and I am trusting that what happens in The Shoe later tonight will provide all of us from Big Orange Country with one of the most memorable experiences of our lifetime...

    Ohio State looking past Vols

    Don't believe for a moment that these OSU players are looking past the Vols. That loss to Michigan stung badly and those players are eager for the chance to redeem themselves, especially against another storied program that just happens to come from the mighty SEC. I do think the Buckeyes enjoy...

    RIP Bill Battle

    I met his son at an event in Perry, Ga., years ago, and he related the same thing to me. He inherited a tremendously talented group from Dickey, and I believe the Vols only lost one game in his first season which included a shutout win over Bama. I remember his being a very classy guy even when...

    '25 TN RB Daune Morris (Tennessee)

    Thanks for the update, allvol. I also went to school in Cleveland and was married there, so I try to follow recruiting activities in that area. I saw where the Lady Vols recently landed a big time dual sport recruit from Cleveland. GBO!!
