Can I just turn my tv on any channel or is there a certain one that I need to tune to at 6:30?

Thursday? Why two whole days before? Are they not invited to the games on Saturday? Do they want zero media coverage?

THIS JUST IN!!!!!! Bert Bertlcamp will be there with a megaphone to yell "MONEY!" everytime Lofton hits one. Dick Vitale is also appearing to complain why JJ Reddick isn't in this.

Oh my gosh! That would be so awesome if Bert Bertlecamp could be there to give us the call!
Great post Jones!

This is great, Lofton will not win unless they put a guy in his face from halfcourt though. Jujuan Smith also deserves to be in this.
Also, Shan Foster has 0 shot to win since it is not being held in Vandy's gym.

That Curry kid from Davidson should be in it.

Did anybody but me happen to notice that three of the other seven in this "shoot-out" are from teams that the Vols played this year? Says something about the quality of the competition
the Vols have faced all season long.
I hope Chris gets his stroke back and wins this one!

Knock em down Chris. We will all be rooting for you.

Chris, win or lose the competition, you will always be a winner at UT. Basketball days with the Vols are over but you will never be forgotten. Thanks for a great four years.
