The Tornadoes were led by junior guard Kyrus Lanxter who finished with a season high 28 points. Lanxter also grabbed 15 boards and dished out 4 assists and also found time to block four shots, sell popcorn in the concession stand and take tickets before the game. Alcoa led 41-25 at the half and never let the Rebels get any closer than 8. Brandon Warren, who finished the game with 16 points and 11 boards, had a small fanclub of University of Tennessee coaches and players on hand to watch and support the young man and help sway his commitment to the Vols.
The Rebels were led in scoring by Curtis Tate with 17, followed by Gary Tucker and Jordan Damron with 10 each.

Brentwood as always was led by North Carolina signee Branden Wright who scorched the nets for 22 points.

Sophomore wing Jeremy Rhodes chipped in 15 and Tennessee signee Wayne Chism was limited to 13 points after turning his ankle early in the second half.
