It's basketball time in Tennessee
This has been an exciting season so far for basketball lovers in Tennessee. And tomorrow (Saturday February 23) it's about to get even more exciting.
Memphis, ranked #1 in the country, is hosting Tennessee, ranked #2 in the country. It's been a banner year for both schools, and it's too bad that one of them is going to have to lose.
So tune in on ESPN tomorrow night for a 9pm ET tip off.
And, of course, GO BIG ORANGE!!!!!!  |

Very excited for this game - the buzz around campus is almost tangible.
How odd that the highest-ranked UT basketball team isn't coached by Pat Summitt...  |

I wish! But I've gotta stay here in Knoxville tomorrow. But my best friend here in Knoxville is actually a Memphis fan (he played football for Memphis State), and we are most definitely NOT going to be watching the game together.
Are you going? |

Nope; I'll be rooting for them from home. I really do need to get a new TV; my poor old set isn't that great for such important tv watching! GBH, did you ever get your new TV mounted on the wall? |

Yeah, and while I'm not much of a college basketball fan, that is going to be THE game this season here in Tennessee.

Although I am a die hard Fighting Illini fan, I have been watching the Vol's come along for 3 or 4 weeks now. Since the Illini are having an off year, I try to watch the Vol's play whenever they are on a major network. Always very exciting to watch, and could be a national champion, GO VOL'S.  |

Vandy aint havin a bad year either!
As for the big game--i think whichever team makes free throws will win. Vegas has memphis as a 6 point favorite but the ESPN guys are picking UT. Should be a great game.

I think if ETSU can avoid a lot of turnovers they should beat Tech.
