A TENNESSEE WIN WOULD...  Give the Vols a five-game win streak in the series.  Give the Vols a four-game win streak, tying for their longest of the season  Give the Vols a season-best three-game SEC win streak  Make Cuonzo Martin 3-0 against first-year SEC head coaches this season (he has previous wins vs. Rick Ray and Frank Martin).

¢ A victory over LSU Tuesday would give the Vols a four-game win streak, tying for the team’s longest of the season and its best of the year in SEC play. ¢ During Tennessee’s current three-game win streak, the Vols own a +15.7 scoring margin and a +10.0 rebounding margin while shooting .483 from the field, .364 from 3-point range and .763 from the free-throw line. ¢ In its last three outings, Tennessee has held opponents to 55.0 ppg. The Vols are averaging 6.0 blocks, 5.7 steals and 16.7 deflections during that span. ¢ Vols junior Trae Golden is averaging 17.3 points in UT’s last three games while shooting .500 from the field. ¢ After their historic 30-point thrashing of No. 25 Kentucky Saturday, the Vols are now 8-3 in their last 11 games against the defending national champion. ¢ In less than two full seasons, Cuonzo Martin has guided UT to a victory over every SEC team he he has faced. He’s also posted wins over the defending national champs for two straight years. ¢ Sophomore power forward Jarnell Stokes saw his streak of consecutive double-doubles end at six games Saturday, but he still has seven double-doubles in UT’s last nine games. ¢ 256-pound Tigers sophomore Johnny O’Bryant III had a streak of five straight double-doubles earlier this season. ¢ Tennessee currently ranks sixth nationally in average home attendance (17,070).
