After taking a year off, one of Tennessee’s biggest rivalry matchups is back on. Tennessee will meet Memphis in Nashville tomorrow, set to break a tie between Penny Hardaway and Rick Barnes. The Vols won the matchup in Memphis, the Tigers won in Knoxville, and now the two sides will meet in the mid-state.
As you surely remember, there’s been plenty of bad blood between the two schools, sparking from that 2018 matchup that Tennessee won. Hardaway backed off of those comments a year later, and both coaches have moved on.
Now attention turns to Saturday, which is a massive game for Memphis.
