Will everyone except ZZ be available for Auburn today? Great test to see how we do without ZZ.

From @Ryan Sylvia

Key takeaways: Jackson, Horston dominate in win over Kentucky

Hines updates his overall recruitment sharing four teams making the extra push in his recruitment.

good stuff from @Ryan Sylvia who is burning the midnight oil in Greenville following the Lady Vols’ win over Kentucky:

Lady Vols push past Kentucky in SEC Tournament quarterfinals

They beat a stubborn Kentucky team. Thanks to Jackson scoring a Tennessee record for SEC play with 34 points. She is going to be tough to replace in the lineup. I am surprise they didn't set a screen for Darby as she was making the three pointers at the beginning. Kentucky was setting up screens for their three point shooters.

Tennessee will make its 2023 SEC Tournament debut in a match against Kentucky.

Winner advances to the semifinals to face LSU, loser goes home.

Tip-off is at approximately 9:10 on SEC Network.

For live updates from Greenville, follow this thread and on Twitter @TennesseeRivals and @RyanTSylvia.

Just got out of a media availability with Rick Barnes.

He told us the floor at Thompson-Boling Arena is coming up after 130 games and will be replaced ahead of next season.

Quick story on Tennessee's 8-2 win over Gonzaga in Game 1 tonight:

Tennessee (8-2) set to take on Gonzaga (1-7) at Lindsey Nelson Stadium tonight.

First pitch coming up at 7 p.m. ET on SEC Network Plus.

Updates here, @TennesseeRivals and @ByNoahTaylor on Twitter throughout the night.

I'm in Greenville for the Women's Basketball SEC Tournament. LSU and UGA are currently wrapping up an over 30-minute weather delay due to tornado warnings and water leaking onto the court.

This means Tennessee's game likely won't start until closer to 9 p.m.

I'll continue to provide updates.

From @Ryan Sylvia:

The point guard loss is a downer. Why are we having so many injuries. Do all teams experience this many issues.

Tennessee's series opener vs. Gonzaga has been pushed back 30 minutes to 7 p.m. ET tonight due to weather.

Faulk is planning a visit to Tennessee. Update on Rivals:

From @DaleDowden:

A look across the country here:

I preview Tennessee's match up with Auburn at Neville Arena on Saturday:

Hey guys, Ben Parker from Stanford Rivals here. On Sunday, I was at a Latter Day Saint-LGBTQ alliance fireside that featured Steve Young as the main speaker. Young was talking about his book "The Law of Love".


Towards the very end of the fireside, there was a Q&A session and the final question asked Young to share his Reggie White story. Young said he and Reggie were really close friends all throughout their time in the league. They came into the league at the same time, Young's dad helped him get an agent, etc. Just really close friends.

Young said that while many people consider Lawrence Taylor to be the greatest defensive player of all-time, he felt it was Reggie White because he was like 6'5", 300+ pounds, and could move like a gazelle. The way he described it was he had the agility to do things on the field that usually only smaller guys could do.

Young also said whenever he faced White, he would hear Reggie coming as soon as he dropped back to pass. Reggie was screaming and yelling, playing with reckless abandon and such passion. He said whenever Reggie sacked him, it was like getting wrapped up in this big bear hug and every time, Reggie would roll Steve onto his stomach and hold him before striking up a conversation with him. And the conversation would continue throughout the game. "How's your dad?" "Wanna grab dinner after the game?" "We should catch up." "How is everything with you and your family?" That kinda stuff. Steve said he'd be like "I'm good Reggie" lol.

Steve said that Reggie was a great example of being a fierce competitor while also being a guy who he could be friends with and have a great relationship with off the field. He just really spoke highly of Reggie and the kind of person he was. How he was so strong in his Christian faith, wanting to get guys baptized at all-star games, and just really lived his faith. He said Reggie was able to visit Israel before he died and how much that meant to him. He felt like Reggie truly embodied what "The Law of Love" is all about.

Steve also said that he really appreciated how Reggie respected his faith as a Latter Day Saint and truly loved all people. Just an all-around great guy.

Anyways, I thought I would pass this on to all of you since Reggie is such a legend at Tennessee. Hope you all are doing well!
