I am sure we will find out if Tennessee practiced before Ole Miss did. I bet those guys are sweating in their shoes.
[B]Update from allkyhoops.com:[/B]
Here is an excerpt of an article from ClarionLedger.com that explains what happened:
[I]Well, the good news is I called UM basketball sports information director Joey Jones and he gave me a little longer version of what happened. Apparently, the route the team had taken to get to Bridgestone Arena went right next to some explosives that had been set up to demolish a building, but nobody had warned them (Kentucky took the same route).
Once the teams arrived at the arena, someone alerted the bus drivers that they should probably take another route when leaving Bridgestone Arena, so the UM players and coaches had to wait a little while as everyone figured out another way out of there. [/I]

So basically, it sounds like a bit of an overzealous Tweet gone wild. There [B]were[/B] explosives involved, but the danger was minimal and [B]there is absolutely nothing for fans to worry about as they head to Bridgestone Arena today.[/B]
