Tabb undergoes surgery on eye socket

Tennessee sophomore guard Josh Tabb underwent successful surgery to repair an orbital blow-out fracture to his right eye, according to athletic trainer Chad Newman. The outpatient procedure was performed Monday.

Tabb took an inadvertent blow to the face from J.P. Prince during a 5-on-5 scrimmage last Tuesday. He is expected to be out for 7-10 days.

Maybe TN players need all to get some eye protection during their practices. Looks like some of our toughest players they we will play against will be ourselves. I like it. You play the way you practice. I want to see that lock down defense. GO VOLS!
