Yesterday’s game was an agonizing experience, with the clash between Tennessee and Auburn leaving me torn: on one hand, I wanted Auburn to suffer a loss, given their uninspired performance and undeserving claim to an NCAA Tournament berth; on the other, I wished for Tennessee’s defeat simply because they are Tennessee.
In the end, Auburn managed to self-destruct midway through the second half despite holding a 12-point lead, setting us up for a rematch with Tennessee today. This is perfectly acceptable; we’re prepared to defeat them for the second time within a single week.

The game will be broadcast on ESPN, scheduled to commence approximately 30 minutes after the initial game of the day between Kentucky and Florida concludes. While I’m optimistically predicting a 2:30 PM start, the presence of an SEC officiating crew likely means we won’t see tip-off until closer to 3:00 PM.
