#2 Tennessee defeated #1 Memphis, ending what had been a perfect season for the Tigers. But you already knew that. What you might not have known, though, is that Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl copped a cheap feel from Erin Andrews during their halftime interview. Video available.

There's not too many bad things you can say about Candace Parker. She's pretty hot, she's won a national championship, she's a key part of the women's Olympic team, and she can yam it on any given night. Take away that whole Shelden Williams thing, and you've got what looks like the saving grace   more...

I would hate to be any top team that has to play the Vanderbilt Commodores - especially on their home court. Last night the 14th ranked Commodores knocked out the soon to be previously ranked #1 Tennessee Volunteers 72-69. This is the 4th time this season that Vandy has taken out a top ranked team   more...

In what was a very good game tonight, #2 Tennessee beat #1 Memphis on the road tonight in a close 66-62 game. Chris Lofton played pretty bad the whole night going 2-11 from the floor but he hit 2 field goals with 2 seconds to go to put the game away.Bruce Pearl being the go getter that he is, took   more...
