For the first time since 2014, both Tennessee basketball programs reach Sweet 16. Off The Hook Sports’ Tuesday, March 21 podcast touches on the Vols and the Lady Vols. Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker go even harder after the love for the Duke Blue Devils as well. Some drama with the Alabama Crimson Tide and Tennessee football spring news also made the show.
Lady Vols make Sweet 16
Two days after the men’s Tennessee basketball program reached the Sweet 16, the Lady Vols beat the No. 12 seed Toledo Rockets 94-47 to reach the Sweet 16 as well. They will now have a rematch with the No. 1 seed Virginia Tech Hokies. Should Kellie Harper’s contract now be extended because of what she’s done?
Tennessee football spring practice notes
On Monday, Tennessee football began spring practice for 2023. Josh Heupel spoke with the media afterward and provided lots of interesting details. He discussed the depth, the quarterback play, the versatility on the offensive line and Cameron Seldon starting out in the backfield. What does this all mean?
Duke homers continue whining about Tennessee basketball
One day after slamming the Blue Devils on the podcast, news came out that Jay Bilas criticized the way the Vols beat Duke on Colin Cowherd’s podcast Sunday night. Bilas whined that the game was reffed like a hockey game. Why is there so much bias and cover for a program like Duke? Is it worse than any other school?
Previewing Tennessee basketball vs. Florida Atlantic
It’s the Lane Kiffin bowl. More accurately, it’s the White brothers bowl, as Danny White’s brother, Brian White, is athletic director of the FAU Owls. How much of a threat is this No. 9 seeded team to Tennessee basketball in the Sweet 16. Are the matchup advantages something to be concerned about?
Did Nick Saban shade Nate Oats?
On Monday, Alabama Crimson Tide football head coach Nick Saban announced the suspension of freshman defensive back Tony Mitchell, who was arrested last week and reportedly charged with marijuana possession with intent to sell. Saban said, “There’s no such thing as wrong place at the wrong time,” which appeared like a direct shot at Nate Oats.
