It may have officially been senior night in Knoxville, but it might as well have been renamed Admiral Schofield night. Tennessee’s star senior wing developed into the heart and soul of this program over the past two seasons. Tonight he was honored before his final game at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Check out the emotional scene below.
After watching that, you just kind of knew it was going to be Schofield’s night. Sure enough, the Admiral dropped in a contested jumper to kick start the scoring on Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Schofield went on to make his first four shots of the night, quickly igniting the Tennessee offense.
