From ESPN:
Tennessee obtained its highest ranking in school history just in time to face the No. 1 Tigers.
"The tickets are going like they're Super Bowl tickets," said Memphis coach John Calipari, noting that some courtside seats for Saturday's Memphis-Tennessee showdown (ESPN, 9 p.m. ET) at the FedEx Forum were selling for more than $5,000 for a pair. "It's incredible. I even said to somebody at my radio show, 'If you could sell your two tickets down low and have your child's tuition for the year paid, go watch it on TV and have a party.'
Jimmy Sexton, one of the country's most prominent sports agents, lives in Memphis and has never seen anything remotely close to the ticket hunt for this game.
"It's the hardest ticket I've ever seen in sports, ever," Sexton said. "It's harder than any Super Bowl, harder than any World Series. There's just not that many people selling tickets. I've had so many of the players that I represent call and ask me to help them get tickets. I've told them, 'There just aren't any.'"

Let me be the first to say congratulations to Tennessee. Although it hurts to say it, I just watched them beat the Tigers. It was an incredibly close game, but UT played great. I have to hand it to you - UT deserves the #1spot.
Whew. Honesty can be painful. What do you say...rematch in the National Championship Game?
