Bama isn't in the same stratosphere as UK, UF, and VU in UT fans minds on the round ball court. Feel free to check your insecurities and small peen at the door though big fella

And doesn't command half of the respect that UT has for Kentucky, Florida, and Vandy.

We ain't looking for your respect, just the normal chunk of that arse when we play you.

This isn't true at all. The hate Vols fans have for Bama carries over into basketball.
It really doesn't. I'm sure that the loud but smaller base of football-only fans feel that way but that's just not the case for most UT fans (and the majority follow both sports). Don't get me wrong - football has always been our #1 sport as fans of both football and round ball still rate it as more important. It's just that UT has been a 2 sport school for ages with most following football and basketball (men's and women's due to Summitt) for a very long time.
Even under our worst coaches VOLS shooty hoops has always had a great following/support among fans. Bama tho just isn't a school anyone thinks of as a rival in basketball. It is and always has been UK and VU. Florida is a new addition.

I'd focus less on us and more on how shitty your basketball program has been over the last 10+ years.
Big kudos on that 1 first round exit back in 2012 on your only tournament appearance since 2006 tho

I'm from Tennessee. Most of my high school friends go/went to Tennessee. Alabama is the most hated school at UT regardless of sport.
We lead the series by double digits though, so I can understand wanting to pretend ya'll don't care.

Agreed.
Bama and UF are the undisputed #1 and #2 in Football.
UK, UF, and VU are the undisputed Top 3 in Basketball.
Significant drop off:
Alabama basketball.

Hard to consider Tennessee a rival in anything anymore. Alabama just makes them their bitch in any sport they compete in. Can't even get wins now with their precious women's basketball team.

2. You haven't been relevant in basketball in over a decade and haven't been a better basketball program than Tennessee this century.

3. You look like an IRL dumb arse trying to tell Tennessee fans who our biggest rivals are in basketball.
Tell us more about our program though. I'm ready for the next laugh.

Has UTK beat us in a single sport this year? We even beat them in women's basketball in Knoxville.

On the first point I don't disagree. BAMA is by far the number one most hated school. Where I disagree is on the point of considering you a bball rival. We just don't. Kentucky is our #1 rival in shooty hoops with VU being a distant second. The overall series record with BAMA plays no part in it, probably because that lead seems to come from the pre-cambrian era.
I get more upset when UGA's shooty hoops team does their annual derailment of our team in the SEC tourney than when we lose to Bama.

Alabama 1-1
Ole Miss 1-1
I guess South Carolina is one since we play twice. Why not?
1-0(playing Saturday).

Swept by Georgia and clowned at home by Florida State.
Beat Kentucky in Rupp but that's a little too one-sided to be a rivalry.
