'The energy is here' | Vol hoop fans are hyped after Tennessee men's basketball claims SEC title

Students on the University of Tennessee campus are buzzing with excitement after a win Wednesday against the University of South Carolina.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Men's Basketball Team has been crowned the SEC outright title for the 2023-2024 season. They broke a 16-year drought.

Students on the University of Tennessee campus are buzzing with excitement after a win Wednesday against the University of South Carolina.

"It's just electric, going to the games is so fun," said one student.

"The energy is here," said another student.

Next, Tennessee Basketball will take on Kentucky at the Food City Center. 

Thursday morning Lisa Cyr Burnett said a specific shirt, with star guard Dalton Knecht, has been flying off her business' shelves. 

"Everyone's excited about Dalton. That's where a lot of our t-shirt sales are going, we just placed another order and it's definitely our bestseller, for our t-shirts with NIL deals," she said.

Some students at UT say the student section has been electric, and many said they are excited to cheer on the Vols when they play the school's rival, Kentucky.
