A thunderous welcome back to Rocky Top for Candace Parker.

This play from JJ Finch rocks. Realizes he isn't being blocked and instead of rushing the passer, understands it's a screen and immediately looks to find the receiver. One of the many reasons the freshman has carved out a role for himself on the Tennessee defensive line.

"I get a little bit offended with 'you have time to rebuild, these seniors aren't your players'...They are my players." Kim Caldwell says the #LadyVols two losses are especially frustrating for her seniors in their final season. She takes winning for them very seriously.

It's more than a neighborhood game of Wiffle ball. This is walk-up songs, a custom field, jerseys, and a specific set of rules. This is the newest sports league in East Tennessee. I got to spend an afternoon with the kids who brought Massey Creek Wiffle Ball to life.
