Tennessee basketball: Vols should love Penny Hardaway escalating Rick Barnes feud

Penny Hardaway just won’t quit. After claiming Jordan Bone “disrespected” Alex Lomax and that the Vols’ bench cleared in Tennessee basketball’s win over the Memphis Tigers Saturday, two claims that video evidence directly contradicts, he doubled down on both things Tuesday.

In his weekly press conference, he responded to jokes Rick Barnes made on “Vol Calls” Monday night. Barnes made a joke to radio host Bob Kesling, asking if he had his fists balled up ready to fight another commentator. He also accused the Tigers of flopping in the game.

Hardaway went off on this Tuesday.
