Through about the mid 1980s. I think Devoe was the HBC when it ended. The 11-6 victory over Temple was in the 1973 VC finals.

Yes there was, and it was always a lot of fun.

It was always interesting to me as a little kid when they’d lower the center scoreboard to the court during the VC between games to change out the team names.

This doesn't have any direct bearing on the schedule but I wasn't sure that it deserved its own thread: I noticed in a Lady Vols post the other day in which DeerPark mentioned a likely 15% attendance cap at TBA, and Louisville has announced this morning that the KFC Yum! Center will have this same 15% capacity restriction. It now seems inevitable that this will be the case for Tennessee, so we'll unfortunately be looking at a capacity of around 3,250 for games this season... which is, of course, pretty unideal.

Thanks for the info. I’m trying to stay grateful for anything, so I’m happy it seems there will be basketball and I’ll be happy if I can see at least a few of these games in person

I remember that, as well. I had to be around 9-10 when I went to my 1st Vol Classic.

And fun to watch Bobby Knight toss a chair

This is far better than my idea, which was to have an eight-team tournament in TBA to which Vandy/Memphis would not be invited out of spite.

Memphis would just be crying that it’s not “hosting” the statewide tournament.

I like the idea of not inviting Memphis out of spite. Works for me.

The more games, the better.

I have been in the dark re an SEC basketball schedule for the men. What is the current best guess as to when and where TN will be playing? Has the SEC voiced any concepts as to how to get the season going?

 

[cardvolfan]

What is?

The "cancelled" post comes from a contrarian wanting attention.

No. I’m of sound mind and in the know. Contrarian? You wear a mask don’t you?

NCAAT? Season? Everything else has been announced pretty publicly, so what is it you are “in the know” about?

Didnt there used to be a Volunteer Classic?

Yes I used to go to it as a kid in the late 80's. I loved it back to back nights of Vols BBall

Discernment and The Great Awakening

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

We play Gonzaga in Indy?

 

[Volfanatic_20]

We play Gonzaga in Indy?

Likely per Katz - would be a great non conference game for us.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Likey per Katz - would be a great non conference game for us.

Really hope fans are allowed....Probably my only chance to see them play in person this year!

Interesting. Indy is not a terrible drive from Middle Tennessee.
