A TENNESSEE WIN WOULD...  Give Tennessee a 71-18 all-time record in exhibition games.  Give the Vols a 9-0 exhibition record under head coach Cuonzo Martin (4-0 in Italy in summer of 2013) as well as a nine-game exhibition win streak overall.  Make the Vols 2-0 all-time against Southern Indiana (both exhibition games).

¢ Tennessee enters the 2013-14 campaign basically ranked 26th by the Associated Press. Head coach Cuonzo Martin has led the Volunteers to a 39-28 record in his first two seasons in Knoxville. ¢ Last Saturday, Jarnell Stokes (27 points, 10 rebs), Jordan McRae (21 pts, 9 rebs), and Robert Hubbs III (17 pts) powered the Vols past Division II Florida Southern 105-80 in Knoxville. ¢ Located in Evansville, In., Southern Indiana University has an enrollment of 9,902 and competes in the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Valley Conference. Last season, the Screaming Eagles posted a 23-8 overall record, finished second in the GLVC race with a 13-5 mark in league play and were ranked 15th in the year-end NABC Division II national poll. ¢ Head coach Rodney Watson is entering his fifth season at USI. He led the Eagles to the Division II Midwest Regional semifinals last year. ¢ The Eagles return 10 lettermen and three starters from last year’s squad, and they opened exhibition play with an 83-68 loss at Indiana Oct. 26. ¢ Forward Aaron Nelson was USI’s top scorer at Indiana, totaling 14 points on 7-of-15 shooting. Taylor Wischmeier posted a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds in 25 minutes, and Austin Davis added 11 points. ¢ The Eagles made eight 3-pointers against the Hoosiers, including three from Davis.
