UT only had 6 players show up and we had 7 players (according to the shirt I bought at the game, there should have been 11 UT players and 13 Tigers so I don't know what happened with that). It actually was a good game. They were playing some good defense early on but by the end you could tell they were tired. They did 4 10 minute quarters with a continuous clock. Joe still looked awesome and was being quick and made several dunks. Adonis made several threes and outside shots. If I had to guess, Adonis was the leading scorer. He had a great game. Chris at one point made 4 threes in a row. Geron was hitting shots and playing good defense. Now UT hung in there for a while and it was close. They were shooting and making lots of 3's. But eventually they couldn't keep up with only 6 players. Chism and Bradshaw were the best on their team. A little bit of drama did happen though. So Chris made those 4 three's in a row and when we had the ball again, Joe had it and the UT player Ron Slay started yelling at Joe to give the ball to Chris since he made all those 3's, well joe took the shot and made it. So then Slay was saying something to Joe back down the court and Joe told him to shut the ----up (I was sitting on the front row so I could hear). Well Slay said something else back (that I couldn't hear) and Joe got in his face and there was about to be a fight. They had to stop the game to have a conference with all the players. Then Slay tried to shake joe's hand and Joe wouldn't. But everything was fine after that. Afterwards the players hung out on the court and you could go get autographs or get a picture with them. I love Geron so I went to get my picture taken with him. He said next year they are going to try to get Kentucky to play because he said that the UT team was older hahaha. Tubby and the new Tigers were also there and I got a group picture of Tubby, Penny, and the new team all together which was cool. Other players who were there watching were Penny, Rodney Carney, Drew Barham, Andre Allen, and Trey Draper (of the ones I saw).

Thanks for the recap. Too bad you didn't get to see Will play.

Yeah Will and Geron are my favorite :) I was sad because Will was listed on the shirt but he wasn't there. At least I was able to see Geron :)

So Geron, Joe, Adonis, Taggart, Hunt, Chris, and who was the 7th???

Never mind I'm guessing it had to be Willie...

Willie was there and I realized I miscounted. Dozier was there too so 8 players my bad.

funny thought...UT is called the Volunteers...
So many former UT players as no shows....LOL

WMC reported that Chris Crawford scored 41 of memphis' 150 points.

Crowd looked a little sparse on some Twitter tweets. What gives?

That was just the away side.

Other side looked full.

I would say we had 700-1100 people, the place was about a 1/3 filled.

It was far more of a cluster this year.

I saw some photos that looked like low attendance, but saw a video pan and the crowd looked decent sized.

Surprised Dane voluntarily came in to play the thugs. I guess he heard Joey wasn't going to show.
