Welcome into Locked-on Balls, your team every day.

My name is Josh Ward.

Thank you for being here as we are getting ready for the weekend and we're getting ready

for a big Tennessee basketball game on Saturday night.

A lot of today's show will be about Tennessee and Kentucky at Rupp Arena. Here in just a moment,

I'm going to talk to Grant Ramey of Govalls247.com. He's been joining the show each Friday over the

last few weeks to look at it to the upcoming weekend for Tennessee basketball. So why not

start out the show with him talking about what may be Tennessee's biggest game of the season

to this point coming up this weekend. So that's coming up in just a moment. A little bit later in

the show in segment number three, Kyle Tucker, who hosts Locked on Kentucky every day for our

locked on podcast network and also covers Kentucky for

Theathletic.com. He's going to join the show and tell you a little bit more about Kentucky's

basketball team and what this game means to Tennessee's opponent. So try to get you both sides of this.

Plus, you'll hear from Admiral Schofield talking about, yeah, how big this game is, trying to make sure it's like the other games, but also recognizing there's a little bit of a difference when you go up to Rupp Arena.

So in segment number two, here from Admiral Schofield, plus I'm going to sneak in some Tennessee football talk.

There's always something going on.

And Thursday, ESPN's Football Power index came out for the 2019 season.

And what do you know? Tennessee's football team is ranked pretty high. There's been some attention

on Tennessee and what it could be this upcoming year. Long way to go, but I'll get you some

information on that coming up in segment number two. It's all right here on Locked on Vols, your team every day, five days a week covering what's going on with Tennessee
