So Sad: Volunteers New Signal Have A Virus during a medica…

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – Fans will need to break out their Tennessee orange gear for Saturday’s basketball game against Alabama.

The University of Tennessee announced Wednesday that the game will be dubbed an “Orange Out,” meaning fans are encouraged to wear orange Tennessee attire to Food City Center for the matchup.

Doors to the arena open at 12:30 p.m., and tipoff is set for 2 p.m.

In addition, the first 2,000 students in attendance will receive an “Orange Out” shirt for the matchup.

The contest between the Vols and the Crimson Tide is sold out and will be televised live on ESPN2.

University officials said this is the third of six sellouts at Food City Center this season, a new venue record for the Vols.

The Volunteers are fresh off a win against the Florida Gators they picked up on Tuesday night. The final score was 85-66, as the Tennessee Volunteers won in dominant fashion. Here were the good, bad, and ugly points of the game. The Good Dalton Knecht, per usual, was good! Dalton is the first player of this century to have consecutive 35+ point games in the SEC. He finished the game with 39 points and eight rebounds, putting up his career high in the points category. Another good would be the performance from Jonas Aidoo. Aidoo has been on a rampage this season, as he has had multiple solid performances and had another one in the Florida matchup on Tuesday. He finished the game with 19 points in a dominating offensive performance. The Bad The bad would have to be the super senior Santiago Vescovi’s performance. Vescovi has been uncharacteristic as of late and is playing very unlike himself. The Vols feed off of his performances a lot at times, so the hope is for him to get back on track. The Ugly The ugly would be the lack of usage of the younger guys. The Volunteers didn’t use Dilione, Carr, or Phillips as much as they probably should, as this would’ve been a great time for them to get some SEC minutes under their belt. They did use Estrella throughout this game, which is a huge plus for the Volunteers. The Vols will now turn their focus to playing the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday in what is expected to be a great matchup.
