Greetings from Bridgestone Arena.
Vols and Bama tip in about 70 minutes or so. Florida is blowing out LSU midway through the second half.
I've spoken with several Vols assistants and Bob Kesling, and all agreed that the Vols are loose and feel confident heading into today.

Looks like you are scouting the Gators with the assistant coaches.

Vols head to the locker room to a nice round of cheers from the Vols fans in Bridgestone Arena.
Some Bama, UK fans then booed a bit.

Either that or judging the cheerleaders. You be the judge.

Bama senior guard Andrew Steele in warmups. Looks like he'll be out today with that ankle injury.
