With both of you, I think Tenn Tech will be really ready for this game. This is straight out of the Tennessean Newspaper, in case u missed it:
---------------------------------
For the Vols, facing a motivated Tennessee Tech team is just the start of their concerns. Peterson expects to have just eight scholarship players tonight, and not all of those are healthy. Senior swingman Del Baker will be limited with a sprained ankle, and redshirt freshman center Brandon Crump hasn't been the same player since severely spraining his ankle a couple of weeks ago.
Junior forward Ron Slay won't play after being in a cast the last two weeks with a stress fracture, and junior center Marcus Haislip is academically ineligible this first semester.
Peterson said yesterday that he hopes to have Slay available against Marquette in the first round of the Great Alaska Shootout next week.
Three of the Vols' eight available players ? Elgrace Wilborn, Derek Stribling and Crump ? will be playing for the first time in a college game.
Peterson admits that it's been a more daunting project than he had imagined.
''A lot of the things I had in mind are completely turned around now,'' said Peterson, who will go with Jon Higgins at point guard and Thaydeus Holden at shooting guard. ''They're put on hold. I haven't been able to advance ourselves like I wanted to. I've had to hold up and simplify things a little bit more.''
That may be, but senior forward Vincent Yarbrough said the goals don't change.
''Everybody expects us to win (tonight),'' he said. ''We have the same expectations no matter if we're short-handed or if we have a lot of players. We're just going to come out and play hard and try to get the W.''
