I'm still amazed that I now look forward to TN basketball. What a schedule, but bring on the Bruins.

 

[RipVol]

I may be in Lawrence for thee KU game

That is exactly the kind of schedule a big time program should be playing. Pearl has done himself proud.

Pearl continues to put me in awe.

This is an awesome schedule! Very exciting....these guys should certainly see some great games by the time conference play comes around...sweet schedule....wouldn't it be amazing to light it up in the Fieldhouse?

You mean Belmont?

I hope we meet up with Maryland in the old spice classic, I know a die hard Maryland fan.

Awesome schedule. Little disappointed that Xavier isn't coming to Thompson but picking up Marquette makes up for it. I also like how we play UT martin and Chatt, ETSU, Vandy, Belmont, and Memphis. Let's sweep the state!!

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Another top 5 RPI season barring a terrible collapse.

Xavier made their visit to Knoxville under the contract during Peterson's final season.

Shoot down our dreams.

Good point..that is sweet. You forgot MTSU, though. We really are playing most of the programs in the state. Who's missing...Tenn. Tech?

 

[TennesseeFan07]

How does the SEC/Big East Tourney workout? Either way, the SEC will be exposed big time during that.

I didn't realize that. Last year turned out to be a great game in Cincinnati...thanks for the recommendation of the ticket vendor, btw.

They don't count.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that.

Actually, there are only four games a year under the contract. Given this year's matchups, there is a pretty good chance the SEC wins at least 3 of the 4.

 

[TennTradition]

They don't count.

I'm just trying to think of NCAA tournament-eligible teams in the state that aren't on the schedule...that was the only one that I came up with that wasn't there. In that sense, they do certainly count.

Who's the other 3?

 

[hatvol96]

Who's the other 3?

Vanderbilt-South Florida in Nashville and Louisville-Ole Miss and Mississippi State-Cincinnati in Cincy.

Vanderbilt-South Florida in Nashville and Louisville-Ole Miss and Mississippi State-Cincinnati in Cincy.

I see Louisville being the only game the SEC might lose in the series.

Vandy may hopefully lose.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Vanderbilt-South Florida in Nashville and Louisville-Ole Miss and Mississippi State-Cincinnati in Cincy.

I'll mark it down. That looks to be a terrific game in the making.

 

[Owlbino]

January 24th to 31st is going to be a fun week on campus.

Oh, and Seeing Kenny George when UNC-Asheville visits is going to be sweet.

Also, in the Kansas game, I bet at least one of the teams will be undefeated.
