It’s this game and the Tennessee VS LSU girls semi championship when Pat Head Summit was the coach. Alexis Hornbuckle made the shot that Nicky Anioske missed.
From a Kentucky fan, Chris Lofton was such a beast. I got to see my town's team play against him, Paris vs Mason County. We always gave him a good game. But he was unconcious from three. That man could hit any shot he wanted to.
I was in my junior year at UT when this game took place...watched it at a friend's house who lived across the river just past the Henley St Bridge. I was so freakin' baked lolol.
Lookin at this video brings back memories it wasn't that long ago but the city of memphis was alive that season too bad we couldn't bring home the big one forever a tigers fan
Go VolsGo don't act like pearl didn't get caught up a couple years later and how many times has the men basketball team been to a national championship game
I remember watching a lot of these guy play against each other in high school as well.I remember watching Tyler Smith play against Wayne Chism when he’d played at Jackson South Side
Angela Mason facts.....I'm a ohioan but I honestly believed that 2008 team could have won it all.....their energy when them guys were rolling....smh scary...
This game needs to be happening every year. We that love both teams looked forward to that sooo much. Then they just erased it from the schedule. WTH? Put it back! Football, Mens Basketball, and Lady's Basketball. Knaah Mean?
The thing I remember most about that game, was how our big men really stepped up to carry the team, when the guards were having an awful game. Smith and Chism were so clutch, along with the hustle of JP Prince.
If they're hitting their shots, nobody can beat us. Other than that, Fulky has to wake up. He's fallen off like he's depressed or something. Triple J (James Jordan) needs to warm up. If Johnson, Springer, Bailey, and Trip J are hitting, it can be a great March. Hopefully Barnes can do better this time with his strategy.
This game and the championship game were the only 2 games we lost that year. Hurts to type...But we beat the VolenTEARS in there own gym today 😂😂 #GOTIGERSGO
Go VolsGo You're joking right?? Non conference schedule that year included wins @Xavier(made Sweet 16), @Gonzaga (made NCAA), Ohio State, and a loss to Texas (made The Elite Eight) in the Legends Classic. The schedule also included a very tough road game @Chattanooga, which was probably one of the biggest games in Chattanooga basketball history to be able to host Tennessee in a season like that where Tennessee had a ton of hype in the off season and lived up to it throughout the year. Say what you will about Pearl, but scheduling was NEVER an issue with him. Immediately when he got to Tennessee he started scheduling games that would be good for both exposure and the RPI/NCAA resume. He was great at setting up both.
I'll never forget Tennessee blocking Memphis from getting to the floor, it was epic, i know Bruce orchestrated that troll move, that moment set the pace for the game, Memphis was denied entry into their own arena and lost. GO Vols🤜🏾👁️🤛🏾
It's not like memphis won the championship so I guess that game didn't really matter either, if they could make free throws you would have an argument.
Where is the 30/30 for this game?? So MUCH backstory. Best game I've ever seen.

I always missed Bruce Pearl.. that guy was an angel and grew the Tn basketball program so much
We will always love BRUCE! Crooked ass lol
But he gave us a taste of something special
Yep!
I love rick Barnes. But I miss pearl. He loved the university of Tennessee, and he was one heck of a coach for us.
I was in my junior year at UT when this game took place...watched it at a friend's house who lived across the river just past the Henley St Bridge. I was so freakin' baked lolol.
i worked at the rush fitness center back then lol. i was the only memphis fan there reppin. i was mad af
Man I miss this
Lookin at this video brings back memories it wasn't that long ago but the city of memphis was alive that season too bad we couldn't bring home the big one forever a tigers fan
DeCoriyanMarquis y'all didn't even bring home that regional championship after getting caught cheating but hey that's Memphis
Go VolsGo don't act like pearl didn't get caught up a couple years later and how many times has the men basketball team been to a national championship game
Go VolsGo how was that when Memphis ran Texas outta the gym during the regional game
This is the game where Bruce pearl felt up Erin Andrews during his halftime interview
God Bruce Pearl was a good coach. Although, So happy to have Coach Barnes.
I love Bruce Pearl! He brings so much Energy!
What about now
The best college basketball Tennessee rivalry!
I remember watching a lot of these guy play against each other in high school as well.I remember watching Tyler Smith play against Wayne Chism when he’d played at Jackson South Side
I always hated Bruce, but I also always respected him. Great X and O coach and always motivated his players.
Go Vols!! but then we lose to Vanderbilt the next game...wamp wamp
Angela Mason facts.....I'm a ohioan but I honestly believed that 2008 team could have won it all.....their energy when them guys were rolling....smh scary...
Angela Mason they suck try watching those fsu Seminoles in action
Eric Colson 🤣
This game still hurts in 2021.

December 15th, 2018...be there!

Great win but if I'm not mistaken it only lasted for a few days as the volunteers dropped the next game to Vandy lol
I got Bruce pearl comes back to Tennessee because he is eligible to come back next year
agree
Lol
@@MrClemons92 yeah 😂 to be fair I was 16 when I made that comment
Vols are special this year!! I watched Gonzaga throttle Iowa, they are crazy good along with Baylor but the Vols are a special team this year.

It only lasted a week. We lost to Vandy the next game.
The state’s greatest Rivalry is Tennessee-Memphis MBB
We miss you Bruce
Wish Bruce was still there....
Derrick Rose :-)
We were number 2? We were number 2? What? And we beat number 1? What?
Go Vols! Re-HIRE Bruce Pearl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun rivalry. Too bad Barnes is spooked.
This game and the championship game were the only 2 games we lost that year. Hurts to type...But we beat the VolenTEARS in there own gym today 😂😂 #GOTIGERSGO
wow i remember watching this game. fastest paced game i've ever seen i think.
maybe if we played the same weak ass schedule, with the exception of Memphis, under Barnes people would love him too. Go Vols #VFL

Don’t be scared, Puddin.
Dang we had some talent
Biggest game ever Vols Nation
And now Slick Rick won’t play Memphis. Pathetic

Clarence Jacobs yes
Go Tigers Go. Next year we should have a great team!
If Tyler Smith doesnt get dismissed we go all the way that year.
Classic
We’re number one now!!
Classy Memphis State fan at 7:05 on the right side of the screen.
That game didn't matter, who played for the national championship that year

@@lloydf.2482 whos coach got caught in scandals, ..wait damn both did lol
Should’ve been the national championship game
haha good eye, i hope the players were giving them hell
War Damn Eagle!
Coach Pearlvert, you're FIRED.
this hurts
God I hope we bring Bruce Pearl back.. this was the only time in my life UT basketball was fun to watch. Now I could care less
What's your deal? You have a top-shelf coach right now. Why don't you move to Alabama if you like Pearl so much...
Go Penny Hardaway and the Memphis TIGERS!
GTG 🐅
good job tyler smith,.....
It. Was. Just. A. BBQ.
Using BBQ as a verb 😂 pfffttt
Yeah Morty.....how many NBA players have Pearl & Barnes found? Shaka had to go to OT to beat Arkansas and wheres Arkansas been without Nolan??????

Missing free throws is a Memphis tradition
It's not like memphis won the championship so I guess that game didn't really matter either, if they could make free throws you would have an argument.
