BASKETBALL TIME IN Arkansas

We left for Little Rock on Wednesday for the SEC lady's basketball tournament for a weekend of hoops..........Dinner with Pat and team, pep rallies, luncheons and more pep rallies and some good ole fashion screaminnnnnnnnn.


The girls had blown two other teams out of the tournaments on Friday and Saturday it was Sunday evening at 5:45 when they ran out into the Alltel Arena to play for all the marbles....


At 6:05 it started with the tipoff......Candice against the Flowers.....UT got the ball and went for a quickie two.......GO VOLS....


The girls were all over the LSU girls, working to get the ball back as the score moved on both sides of zero.......up 5....down 3.... up 6....down 2......on and on it went....


During the second game of the tournament, Coach Summit told Sidney she was a none factor in the game......she wasn't doing anything to win the game and on and on that went.....well when they blew the whistle for the second half, Sid never looked back and scored 3 like scalping ticks at zero......and rebounding the ball all over the place......with 14 seconds left in the game and one point behind, Candice laid it up and they held on to win the game.......I might be able to talk again around Friday...


After the game, the team came up in the UT section and gave everyong high fives and hugs........a special moment for the fans that drove or flew to the games....there were three sections full of UT fans....the larger group.


With the trophy in hand, the seniors were going nuts with two back to back SEC championships......


The players and cheerleaders are a tight group at the school.....Lindsay Moss is still wearing a nose guard from the game with Bama.......but what a great time....


Pat gets to cut the last string down, but the assistant coaches and all the players each got their turn to cut a sting also.......first the freshmen right to the seniors......and all this time we sang ROCKY TOP......ROCKY TOP.....you will always be, home sweet home to me.......and more of... It's great to be a Tennessee Vols....it's great to be a Tennessee Vols..........
