Tennessee Gets Ready to Face South Carolina in SEC Basketball Tournament
March 13th, 2008 | 
Author: 
Somewhat to my surprise, the South Carolina Gamecocks managed to Defeat the LSU Tigers 77 – 73 in the opening round of the SEC Tournament in Atlanta today. Despite getting absolutely hammered by the BasketVols just days ago, the Thunder Chickens managed to get it turned around and (at least by my estimation) upset the Tigers, and thus set the stage for a re-match with Tennessee.
South Carolina (13-17, 5-11 SEC) is, no doubt, just itching to get a little revenge against the Vols for the 89 – 56 pounding they took at the Tommy Bowl this past Sunday. There is no question that the men in Garnet will bring their game full-force to try and de-throne the SEC Champion Vols, and give South Carolina coach Dave Odom at least one more game as their skipper.

Be that as it may, I predict the Vols still win by double-figures. After a brutal home-stretch to end the regular season, the BasketVols have had several days to rest and have plenty of reasons to give it their all — namely the chance at an SEC Tournament Championship, and the possibility of a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. I am quite sure that Bruce and the Barbarians will be raring to go, looking for their 29th win on the season.
The game is set to tipoff tomorrow (14 March 2008) at 1:00 pm on Raycom Sports. For those of you who — like me — live in ACC Country, or elsewhere, the Vol Network Broadcast will be available through UTSports.com and on XM Channel 199.
Until the game gets going, you can enjoy this video of Jenn Sterger, on the phenomenon that is the 2008 Tennessee BasketVols.

About the Author: "Lawvol" -- I'm just a guy living in North Carolina who has an unnatural fascination with the color orange. Just because I'm a Tennessee alum and die-hard Volunteer fan doesn't mean that I can't poke a little fun at the Big Orange and anybody else for that matter.
