when you talk about allen iverson, it's better. >> i have done that for the

team and given back for the team. >> no, i go back in. just like leaving them back in. what i think about them down here in miami is truly an epidemic when you think of the kids not graduating from high school. it's a serious problem. >> we begin this tuesday with a major development in the case of a deadly memorial day. double shooting. >> now, just into the newsroom, the arrest of the owner of the north miami beach dollar store. >> the shooting death of the burger king manager. >> three people, including a 5-year-old at a miami apartment complex. >> this is the 12th year. there is always something. now, when you started the foundation, did you ever envision that 12 years later, it would still be going? did you know, did you think you had this run? >> i did not realize that we would have this impact

initially. you know, but i know, i knew the overall cause of it. and in helping young people in the positive area. i see that there is a tremendous need for these kids. to get the deposit -- the positive influence for the kids and the well being. i was the child once. i realized the importance of someone contributing to my life in helping with my development as a person as well as a basketball player without those individuals. i wouldn't be the person that i am today. >> you better be there before you. >> and this is your first year joining with alonzo. what prompted you to do this? >> i wanted to do something for

miami. i wanted to get out into the community. how could i do that? and alonzo is the perfect example to become a part of something. >> i mean, he was really serious in wanting to make a difference, you know? he knows that he's going to be a part of this community for years to come. >> to have some and he turned me could be at first. yes, he'll need to build something here. and he wanted me to come in to jump on board. >> get ready for this sensation of the summer. a weekend of himself. >> and it was something to watch. >> the summer views. >> what do you think? >> you now where he got that from? your daddy. and that whole demeanor of son, you know, you're not ready. >> in order for you to teach somebody, they have to be receptive to listening. i think you can motivate people. motivation is over worked. but the person has to have certain internal areas. >> i'm still looking at him as a

little kid. i look at him like a little brother to me. >> it is really interesting to watch those two, because you know, it is like a mentor, relationship. >> i understood the passion. it was very similar to mine to helping young people. and also, he told me, he said look, when you started your own area and we started your foundation, you were my age. that kind of hit home with me. >> you need someone to, you know, to really look at and to really follow, you know, to one day when i am his age, a long time from now. >> he's not that old. >> yes, 50 years from that. i'm going to tell them. >> passing the toys down to someone else. >> we have a bunch of things throughout the whole weekend where everybody in the family can enjoy. there is something for everyone, the game. and for all of it, every event.

you need to be there at every event. >> yeah, we're just trying to do it. of them. but we encourage people to give. and i think that the partnership with them and myself, they bring out all the resources together. and they will enable us to

connect with more individuals in the community. >> to make sure to join us for the half hour special, that is tkpwraoáufpb with all of them posted by the latest for all the happenings for the big weekend event. >> what it means for these people to take time out of their lives and invest back in our crown people. and in ways that we cannot measure. >> they will join us for these great things. hopefully we'll be able to raise more money. so every child is served in the poáfrish areas. >> how difficult was it to try to pull that in? >> it is not difficult from the standpoint of getting people to come out there. that's the biggest debate that they come out there.

and that they knew they would give it to them to help the kids and with all of them and myself to come together and you know, utilize this -- in all of our resources, strapping the event even more to help us generate more funds towards the actual cause in helping to educate young people. >> coming up next. >> i think that it is a native on my end. and that in this situation, coming into their homes in taking that

taking this man's life, but the impact of their lives of everybody and his family. i say to myself, okay, if they were in a program like i have here in overtime or the program out there at sci in portland oregon that there is no way that they would have made the decision to go in there and break into that man's house and take his life. so you know, we make the investment now because we know that it will have a direct affect on someone else down the road. >> what do you do from here? we'll go into that spot with that area. and that is in all of us that come together for times like these and that is what is the motivation is doing. but it really is reaching out to our kids. and this is what they will listen to, to allow the guys for them to do that. and to listen to us for that.

but the foundation as well. >> yeah, i have never been to one of these. i am so excited. >> watch out for that. watch it. >> good morning everybody. how important is it for them to see you as an athlete? >> it is very important. and it is contagious. simply contagious, you know? when u yo give, you have an

atect on someone else's life. and they feel good about you doing something for them. and that encourages them to want to do something else for them. and you know, it's like that, not about the material things. it's about giving your charm, your love, it's about giving home and encouragement. and you know, young people, they are showing them a positive way of life. that'll make all the influences in the same impact of the world. more than a dollar that you might give. >> what do you make of that? that is what it is. either you have opportunities for them to make it less, to go right, to go to the the super stars, whatever you want to see just like that and no one else. too many times we come together and say hey, dream big. just consume your passion and don't listen to anyone that tells you no. but now, that does not do anything for me when i'm stacking over there on the way to school. i need to have a plan on what do i do so that i can take what is inside of me, that little

positive area to grow that into whatever my dream may be. they need to see how they can create their lives. >> and that is for us, they were talking about what comes from all of it and i just want to say thank you. >> it's awesome for me to be able to talk to the young people and to give them knowledge to better their lives. there are some people out there that just don't know the pass. >> show you how to achieve your dream. that is step by step by step. >> i want you to go home. and i want you to take a piece of paper and to write it all big and big out there. and now ask your parents to give them permission for that up

over your bed. an opportunity that i'm starting to see that out there. all around the country. because we have got to be in business. this is all about the youngsters. how good does it make you feel? >> that's the best part. interacting with the kids. that's my favorite part of the weekend. like everyone, the youth summit. and that you are there with the kids, you're sharing. that's the best part. to see that it is just like a vail being lifted off of everyone's eyes. perblsly theres that they could do anything that they would want if the had world. they can see the world. and the kids, you know, they have this great world in front of them that far too often they are not encouraged to support. >> and i know that for a fact

that is something i want to try again. and without that help in my life, i wouldn't be sitting here today and that i hope everyone that is watching this particular piece that they go out and to get involved in the lives of the young people for them and that they will have a direct affect on your life somewhere down the road. coming up next. >> it scared the heck out of me. because it was not about basketball. that's someone i love. forfas

because then it wasn't

about basketball, tp-fs about something i loved. so i try to say lord to me that there needs to be something good to just come out of this, you know? i'm going to put it in your hands. >> alonzo is amazing. he can put that out there and don't worry about it, and i remember the day, it was very emotional. and he tells me the story that i get emotional in the beginning of it when it all came out. and he said, jeff, let's get going. >> in 2003, to get that kidney transplant, you know, i got a second chance of life. that will be something to totally go out there to go right. and you know a lot of it has to do with my face.

able to concert and mourning is down in some pain. >> and he had a knee injury, you're fighting them, trying to get back. you're saying you want to come back. and what is your motivation? >> the last memory that i have of a basketball court is being first of all, they wanted to put me on the stretcher, all right? and then they just carried me off. that's my last memory. i don't want that to be my last memory. playing professional basketball. if i can help it and i can play, even if half the year, they needed to see that for half the season, i wanted to come back in 100%. i still feel like i have a lot to offer and i'm able to contribute to a young miami team, provide, you know, my overall talent. and al some very different relationships. i'll be able to walk off the court and i'm able to retire.

>> i thank god for this moment. just eight short years ago, i didn't envision this moment to happen out there. and that this is probably one of the greatest moments in my life and i'm honored to be here to see them. thank you. coming up next on my life 365. ♪[ music ] a brgen fi'm k, daug sch is awa oula vnven me plr al d meat pareouse. ing ally y hu def p ths m sc ld w ure he i s tls oon way the. i kat t a p

[captioning made possible by espn]

>> welcome in our sec network studio. live college basketball on the way. whit watson with charles davis with six games on the conference slate. still early in the conference schedule, but are there teams that face a must-win game this week? >> the mighty gators of florida. 0-2 for the first time since billy donovan took over and they had four winnable games on the schedule but a win is a must for them. >> that is a late game tonight. 8:00 p.m. eastern time. before we get to the complete hoops schedule, final news in the sec. derek dooley, son of long time head coach vince dooley has been hired as the head coach of tennessee. he comes from louisiana tech where he was the head coach and athletic director. strong ties to the conference. not just his dad, he was on nick saban's staff for several years at lsu before joining

sabek in the nfl with the miami dolphins. 17-20 in three seasons as head coach at louisiana tech. now, charles davis played a bit of football of his own at tennessee, as a matter of fact. charles, no secret that tennessee courted a lot of guys before finally hiring dooley. what is the reaction among the tennessee faithful? >> at this point it's cautious. they have been through so much in the last 14 months. firing of phil fulmer, long-time icon. bringing in lane kiffin and his brash regime and then he's out after one season and hiring a guy after many people heard so many different names. i have think derek dooley, they're cautious but he will be supported. this is a guy if they had hired him off of nick saban's staff people might be dancing in a streak. 17-20 record. not easy place to win in louisiana tech. >> in case you haven't read a paper or watched television, dooley's predecessor is headed to l.a. lane kiffin accepting an southern to be the head coach at southern cal after a one

season at tennessee and 7-6 record. made headlines with his brash nature. as a tennessee guy, what did you think about how kiffin handled the departure? >> i'm never crazy with a coach leaving three weeks before signing date. but i understand it. this is a business. this is supposed to be his dream job. three weeks before the signing date, i hesitate about any coach taking a job in that time frame. tennessee turned around and hired a guy who is going to leave his squad three weeks before signing date or less. it's the nature of the business. i wish he'd walk out there and i wish derek dooley a lot of luck at university of tennessee. >> speaking of dooley, he will be introduced to the crowd at the thompson-boling arena in the first half of the ole miss-tennessee game. many of you are seeing that game on the sec network. havoline road to nashville, site of the 2010 men's sec tournament. standings in west, mississippi state up top as many predicted. alabama and ole miss playing well to start the season. rebels getting tenth ranked tennessee today on the sec

network on the road. ole miss lost nine straight at tennessee. the vols riding a five-game winning streak. good news, melvin goens and tatum are coming back tuesday at alabama. not today but tuesday. brian williams still suspended. vols circled the wagons. they're playing with six scholarship playersua, you have ons and playing good basketball. >> they are playing well. kansas win you think of circling for it a big win but they beat charlotte and auburn the other night. many people thought they'd collapse but the core guys have increased. how about the guys like skylar mcbee and steven pearl and renaldo woolridge who increased his play in that time? those are the contributions they're getting in addition to bobby maze and scotty hopson. >> when you lose offense you win by playing defense. that's what tennessee is doing under bruce pearl. you see the numbers, they're second in the conference in points per game allowed in field goal percentage allowed and in three-point field goal

percentage allowed, among the best in the country in opponents' field goal shooting. meanwhile, ole miss coming off a dramatic win over georgia on wednesday night. and eniel polynice scores off the inbounds pass to himself. with 11.3 to go. rebels 23rd in the nation. 13-3 on the season. chris warren and terrico white making up one of the most dynamic back courts in the league. seventh and eighth in the sec in scoring respectively. is that going to be enough to overcome tennessee's defense? >> it has to be. they are so reliant on the two to get things done. chris warren, 39% from three-point range. terrico white, averaging 15 points per ballgame. they play 16 games, has ole miss. one of these two or both have been their leading scorers. that tells you everything flows through these two. they have to take care of the basketball against tennessee's pressure. >> tennessee had t-shirts made up when they beat number one kansas.

it wonder what ole miss would do if they could beat a top ten team -- >> sweatshirts for everyone! >> -- ever in the andy kennedy era. maybe plaques or something. we take a break. coming up, we preview the late game, number two kentucky trying to remain unbeaten and they'll face auburn this afternoon. more on that coming up on the sec network.

. today's sec network game is brought to you by -- >> alabama in action today after a last-second loss to vanderbi vanderbilt. jeffrey taylor split free-throws and a lot of opportunities for the tide. no-go. 'bama's four-game winning streak is snapped. tide is 11-5 in the season but nothing to be ashamed of in the losses. look at the rpi according to espn.com inside rpi of the five teams that beat alabama this season. the cornell loss now after the way they played kansas is not so embarrassing, charles davis. >> not at all. cornell took kansas to the limit. and if you watch what cornell has done over the last few seasons, going to the ncaa tournament two times now and should be a third time, not at all. they have good wins, too. they beat providence and bay lor on a neutral court and michigan on neutral court and won at lsu.

it like what anthony grant is doing early in the tenure at alabama. >> part of the billy donovan coaching tree in the first year. the hogs, the opponent are 7-9 on the season. they lost four in a row after a five-game winning streak. take a look now at the schedule in the southeastern conference and some of the notable games on this saturday afternoon. georgia, they have had two very tough losses if a row now and they will take on mississippi state. kentucky and auburn, more on that coming up. vanderbilt and south carolina unbeaten in the conference at 2-0. either lsu or florida by the end of the night is going to be 0-3 to start off play in the southeastern conference. coming up, some of you join the crew where scotty hopson, will take on number three and the number ten. and -- 23 and number ten. arkansas takes on arkansas on the other network. tip-off is minutes away. back with more after this.

>> whit: back on sec tip-off with football news and notes. ed to granson, 11-year nfl veteran with nine years of college experience is the new coordinator at georgia. most recently the dallasboys defensive line. two more players declaring for the draft. mcclain says he's ready, as is jackson who has been told he could be a second round pick. one more, how about tim tebow? his first endorsement, well, kind of.

he will appear in a 0-second comer maoist rebel commercial -- 30-second commercial in the super bowl. it's a theme of celebrate family, celebrate life. the late game on the sec network, 4:00 eastern, 3:00 central time is kentucky against auburn. u.k. is 17-0, their best start since 1966. eric bledsoe coming off a career high 25 against florida a couple of days ago. >> charles: what i've been most impressed with eric ility . we knew that coming out. be his ability to defend. he takes the number one score the guard at the lane position and he's a guy he wants to lock down every week. eric bledsoe. he can score for kentucky. their ability all to blend has been phenomenal to me. a lot of times you can see who is coming up, they want to the ball and don't want to share but not so with the kentucky wildcats. >> whit: three freshman that

can score, they're the only school in d-1 with three in double-digit scoring. what else about the raw talent strikes you about kentucky? >> charles: this is a team that has been through so much in recent years where everybody says what about this or that? this is a team i said before that has come together so quickly, so many new pieces and it's blended well for veterans like patrick patterson. nobody worries about the basketball. everybody shares it. everyone takes care of the defensive end. yes, he can score. but he also distributes the ball quite well. and either side takes precedence. he takes the water temperature each game and decides which way he needs to go. then he does that. >> whit: wall waiting the sec in fifth, number two in the ncaa in that category. auburn facing a tall order, they have not beaten kentucky

in ten years. by the way, u.k. head coach john calipari has announced he will host a telethon to raise money for relief efforts in haiti. you can read more about that at espn.com or for information log on to red cross.org. in just a moment we will send some of you no knoxville, tennessee, where ole miss hasn't won a game in the last nine tries. meeting today of top 25 programs on the sec network. others of you will see alabama take on arkansas. number one three-point shooter in the conference is clark. the tide trying to keep pace in the division. charles and i back at halftime. enjoy the game.

the sec with murphy holloway up front, along with the senior deaundre cranston. the tennessee volunteers last played on thursday. right here against auburn. it's bobby maze running the point. j.p. prince, scotty hopson, renaldo woolridge and wayne chism, a senior, rounding out the starting five.

ready to play some basketball, sec style! the tip is won by the volunteers. >> mark: two good basketball team, two top 25 teams. a lot of excitement in knoxville today. [ whistle ] >> eric: getting inside illegally is j.p. prince. shuffled the shoes. it's a travel. unforced error on the volunteers. that doesn't make bruce pearl very happy. bruce now in his fifth season. two-time sec coach of the year. >> mark: what bruce pearl has done is energize this volunteers fan base in the last few years. today, unbelievable crowd atmosphere. give bruce pearl a lot of credit for that. >> eric: andy kennedy, himself, sec coach of the year a couple seasons ago, now in his fourth season. he he has never beaten a top ten team at ole miss. 0-6 so far.

early in the season, losing against villanova and west virginia when the clubs were ranked in the top ten. >> mark: both of the teams like the floor. both of them score over 80 a game. it will be interesting to see today. bruce pearl wants his team to be patient. >> eric: chism. fired. the shot clock is winding down. neither team looking particularly strong. inside. up and in. >> mark: i like him, eric. he's a guy that can score. >> eric: a couple of good looks for tennessee. a loose ball picked up by warren. on the offense. maybe not. cranston, offensive rebound. he's grabbed.

we've got royalty in the house. pat summit looking on. probably eager to get her first look at the new head football coach at tennessee. apparently they named derek dooley, after taking the head job and he's in knoxville watching the game. >> mark: tennessee does such a great job of denying inbound pass. if you play against tennessee, you have to make sure you get the ball inbounds. >> eric: no. rebound, woolridge. >> mark: the guy right here, bobby maze has been very good the last two games. >> eric: brings it across. >> mark: a number of players bring the ball up the floor for ole miss. >> eric: how about that? terrico white, raises and rips. 5-nothing lead for ole miss. >> mark: white, warren, polynice can all bring it and make plays and make ole miss

such a dangerous scoring team. >> eric: the volunteers working around the perimeter. maze. going with the three. and it's ole miss basketball. not a good start for tennessee. >> mark: bobby maze, contact on the three-point shot. crawford, the head official, not going to give it to him. nice start for ole miss, on the road, up 5-0 with the ball. [ cheering ] >> eric: polynice. gets it back. renaldo woolridge. maze. quickly! and he's fouled! >> mark: bobby maze has been electric the last few years. sometimes when some players

are out, other players rise up. this is one of those guys that

ogra well yut i com.

>> eric: welcome back, everyone. knoxville, tennessee. ole miss doubling their pleasure early against tennessee. 8-4 is our score. earlier today, comings and going from the tennessee volunteers program. of course, stemming from the incident two weeks ago, tyler smith was dismissed from the team. a week ago, brian williams is still suspended indefinitely. but the change, the bottom two. cameron tatum and melvin goins earlier today reinstated to the team. not on the bench right now. won't be able to play in today's game. but tomorrow, they'll be back in practice uniform in full fledge members of the clubs. >> mark: they need to find their rhythm back with this team, because the team played well without them. obviously, bruce pearl said difficult time for tennessee basketball. but sometimes, less does become more. sometimes it's a little bit

easier to keep everybody happy with a fewer number of guys and chemistry in the locker room is better. so they've managed it okay. now they will get two players back starting tomorrow. >> eric: first free-throw is good for chris warren. warren fouled by bobby maze right before the break. his second foul on bobby maze. maze is on bruce pearl's bench. two new guards in for the game for the volunteers. skylar mcbee and josh bone. bone with the basketball, gets it over to mcbee, who is pushed to the floor by polynice. >> mark: skylar mcbee became a folklore hero here in the big shot against kansas a few games back. obviously, getting a great opportunity to play. sometimes when there are players suspended, other players get an opportunity to play and step up. he has been one of the guys. tennessee has had a number of players do that.

>> eric: mcbee. hands it off to bone, transfer from southern illinois. >> mark: ole miss defends their man-to-man defense. five feet beyond the three-point line. tries to get in the passing lane. good athleticism, quick. got a lot of guys that can switch. integral parts. it's a very good ole miss defensive team that likes to pressure you and get up into you a little bit. tennessee has to be able to handle that. >> eric: whatley. that's short. here come the rebels with a six-point lead. warren! skylar mcbee. he wants to run! picks up his dribble. frees up chism. now gets it back.

the rebound. it's ole miss basketball. three-on-three. the pass stolen away by mcbee. >> mark: tough pass to handle. a little bit too hard. a little bit too low. [ whistle ] >> eric: there was a foul going on down low. buckner and chism going at it! >> mark: one thing andy kennedy likes about reginald buckner is that he is tough, a young player. a freshman. he's not going to back down. physical. wayne chism, the crafty veteran team got him tangled up in there. buckner, the freshman, not backing down from the challenge. >> eric: chism is going to go to the bench. coming in the game is renaldo woolridge of tennessee. out by
