A TENNESSEE WIN WOULD...  Give Tennessee a 15-game win streak in seasonopening games.  Give the Vols a 27-21 all-time record against current members of the Big East Conference.  Give Cuonzo Martin an 8-4 head coaching record against current members of the Big East Conference, including wins in eight of his last nine tries.

¢ 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. ¢ The Vols have won 14 straight season-openers. ¢ This is the first time the Vols open regularseason play on the road since the 2004-05 opener against Stanford at the Maui Invitational. Tennessee won that clash 69-57 (Nov. 22, 2004). ¢ Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Xavier (pronounced: zay-vee-ər) is a co-educational Jesuit, Catholic university. The Musketeers were picked to finish seventh in the new, 10-team Big East. ¢ Xavier head coach Chris Mack was a two-time team captain as a player at Xavier under thenhead coach Pete Gillen. Mack has coached under Sean Miller and the late Skip Prosser. ¢ Xavier sophomore Semaj Christon is projected by NBAdraft.net as the No. 11 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft (to the Knicks). He is a preseason firstteam All-Big East pick, and he also appears on the Bob Cousy Award watch list. ¢ Xavier opened its regular season with an 83-59 home win over Gardner-Webb Friday. ¢ The Vols own an 8-15 all-time record in the state of Ohio. Tennessee’s last appearance in Ohio came in Dayton at the 2009 NCAA Tournament (first-round loss to Oklahoma State). The last regular-season appearance was a 68-66 loss at fifth-ranked Ohio State on Jan. 13, 2007. ¢ Dating to last season, the Vols have won four of their last five regular-season true road games.
