A TENNESSEE WIN WOULD... Extend the Vols’ season-best win streak to seven games (also a Martin-era best).

¢ Tennessee is riding a six-game win streak — its longest of the season and the longest of the Martin era — during which the Vols are outscoring their opponents by 11.8 ppg while shooting .466 from the field and .425 from 3-point range. ¢ Tennessee has the second-longest active win streak among teams from the six “major” conferences, trailing only Georgetown (nine). ¢ Tennessee has won 15 of its last 20 games against Georgia. ¢ A win at Georgia would give the Vols four straight SEC road wins for the first time since February 2008. ¢ The Volunteers receive more than half of their scoring from Georgia natives. See Page 3. ¢ In SEC play, Tennessee ranks third in the league with a .448 team field-goal percentage. ¢ Sophomore power forward Jarnell Stokes is the SEC’s top rebounder, and averages a doubledouble in SEC play (13.6 ppg, 10.5 rpg). ¢ Reigning SEC Player of the Week Trae Golden (32 and 20) and fellow junior Jordan McRae (34 and 23) each posted a 30-point game and a 20-point game last week. In Tennessee’s two wins, the pair accounted for 62.3 percent of the team’s scoring. Both set career-highs for scoring last week. ¢ UT signee A.J. Davis attends Buford High School in Buford, Ga.
