4,791 came to Reed Arena for the pre-Super Bowl game against one of the brand-name programs in women's hoops. The Ags were coming into the game after losing two in a row for the first time this year, while Tennessee was hoping that their wins against Bama and Arkansas foretold a late season gelling of a talented squad that has not been meeting preseason expectations.
Both fan bases came in somewhere between openly pessimistic and cautiously optimistic. Both of the predictions at Rocky Top Talk were for an A&M win. A&M fans were moaning about how 20 turnovers and yet another bad third quarter let the Gators chomp the Ags last Thursday.
