Team Information
There’s no better ticket for SEC basketball than Tennessee Volunteers tickets. Thompson-Boling Arena is a hotspot for SEC hoops and the sooner you lock down your Volunteers tickets the happier you’ll be.
The Volunteer’s rich history stretches back to the late 1800s, setting up a legacy over a century old. One of Tennessee’s most impressive athletes ever to grace the court was Ron Widby. In 1967, playing both basketball and football, Widby was named All-American in both sports as well as the conference player of the year for his skills in the SEC championships. His impressive performance on the basketball courts that year earned him the coveted title, “SEC Basketball Legend”, joining fellow athletes and legends Gary Waites, Scott Hastings, Rex Frederick, Stacey Poole, Ronnie Hogue, Sam Bowie, Bobby Lowther, Coolidge Ball, Jack Bouldin, Art Whisnant and Jeff Fosnes. In addition to his aforementioned 1967 achievements, Widby was a two-time All-SEC selection and helps the Volunteers shock everyone by winning the SEC crown that same year. He averaged 22.1 points and 8.7 rebounds in his senior year and carried his team with him on his race to success and nationwide recognition. Widby left University of Tennessee a legacy that will never be forgotten as the second all-time leading scorer and the all-time single season point leader.
Another Volunteer basketball legend is All-American Bernard King. Known as one of the most explosive scorers in college basketball history, King can boast of an impressive career. After a major knee reconstruction surgery robbed him of two years, King returned to the court and proved every skeptic wrong. He had to completely rework is style of play in order to allow for his now-lesser physical abilities. He put up more than 19,000 points after going onto the NBA to play for the New Jersey Nets, Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, Washington Bullets and the New York Knicks.
The state of Tennessee gained the title “Volunteer State” in the early days of the nineteenth century, all the way back to the war of 1812 as troops from Tennessee flooded into volunteer their services. This “Volunteer” heritage became even better known when, during the Mexican War, Gov. Aaron Brown issued a call for 2,800 men to come help battle Santa Ana. Tennessee answered with a roar and over 30,000 men volunteered their services. The uniform worn by those famed soldiers during the conflict is still seen, as it is worn by the University of Tennessee color guard at every athletic event. The name “Volunteer” is recognized as a long-standing legacy of Tennessee going above and beyond the call of duty, a tradition that has been passed onto their impressive athletic teams over the years.
Throngs of fans in Orange and white pack the Thompson-Boling Arena year after year and the 2005-06 SEC basketball season may be the best yet. You haven’t experienced college basketball until you’ve seen the Volunteers hit the court. Reserve your Tennessee Volunteers tickets while you still can.
