• The Vols have won their last seven home games against non-conference opponents from the state of Tennessee and are 41-4 at home against non-conference teams during the Bruce Pearl era. • The UT Martin game marks the third contest of a five-game holiday homestand for the Vols. • Tennessee has played three consecutive one-point games. • Over the last two games, Scotty Hopson and Tobias Harris are a combined 28-for-31 from the free-throw line (.903). • Tennessee averages 32.9 free-throw attempts at home this season and is shooting .704 from the line at Thompson-Boling Arena. • Hopson (15.6 ppg) and Harris (15.1) rank sixth and seventh, respectively, in the SEC in scoring. • The Vols are on a bit of a cold stretch shooting the ball from 3-point range recently. Over its last four games, Tennessee has made just 14 of 64 attempts from beyond the arc (.219). During that four-game stretch, UT has not made more than four 3-pointers in any single game. • The Vols are shooting .441 from the field at home this season. Tobias Harris averages a team-best 16.7 points at Thompson-Boling Arena while shooting .535 from the field. • The Vols already have defeated a pair of top-10 opponents this season, toppling No. 7 Villanova in New York City on Nov. 26 and No. 3 Pitt in Pittsburgh on Dec. 11. Both contests were won in convincing fashion, as Tennessee led for a total of 34:30 in the two games combined. • UT’s Dec. 11 victory over third-ranked Pitt in Pittsburgh was Bruce Pearl’s 450th career win as a head coach. Now in his sixth season on Rocky Top, Pearl owns a 134-49 (.732) record with the Vols. • The Volunteers won the 2010 NIT Season Tip-Off Championship last month at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Tennessee is just the second SEC team ever to win the prestigious NIT Season Tip-Off championship in the world’s most famous arena (Florida, 1987).

Noting UT Martin A member of the University of Tennessee statewide system, UT Martin under second-year head coach Jason James is 1-7 on the road this season ... Combining the Skyhawks’ previous two games against Murray State and Ohio State along with the matchup at Tennessee, UT Martin will face three teams that combined to average 29.3 wins and produce five NCAA Tournament wins between them last season ... On Dec. 21, 6-3 combo guard Terence Smith notched a career-best 20 points and willed the Skyhawks to a nine-point lead in the second half over a Murray State team that won an Ohio Valley Conference-record 31 games last year ... The Skyhawks’ roster includes only two players from the state of Tennessee, as guards Reuben Clayton and Trey Edwards both hail from Memphis ... Under coach Jason James, UTM has forced 15 or

Tennessee owns an all-time record of 45-1 against current members of the Ohio Valley Conference, including a 6-0 mark under head coach Bruce Pearl ... Tennessee handed the Skyhawks a 97-80 loss on Nov. 26, 1993, and also beat UTM 77-50 on Dec. 30, 2002 ... In 200203, UT Martin has had the misfortune of facing a Tennessee team that featured Ron Slay, who earned second-team All-America acclaim and was named SEC Player of the Year that season ... Slay poured in 21 points vs. the Skyhawks to go along with nine rebounds ... Ed Gray scored 29 points against UT Martin in the 1993-94 meeting; it was Gray’s Tennessee debut ... A recap of the 2008-09 meeting can be found below. Last Clash With UT Martin Center Brian Williams (then a sophomore) enjoyed a career night while powering the Vols to a 91-64 win over UT Martin on Nov. 18, 2008 ... Williams scored a career-high 21 points on 8-of-10 shooting and pulled down 12 rebounds to log his second career double-double ... Tyler Smith poured in 19 points to join Williams as one of five Vols who scored in double figures ... Point guard Bobby Maze led the Vols with seven assists and three steals, while Williams and freshman Renaldo Woolridge each logged a pair of blocked shots ... Tennessee led 57-31 at the half but only outscored the Skyhawks by one point in the second half (34-33) ... The Vols shot 48.6 percent from the field, including going 2-for-17 (11.8 percent) from 3-point range ... The two 3-pointers (one of which was made by Williams, the second of his career) were the fewest of any UT team during the Bruce Pearl era ... Lester Hudson led UT Martin with 20 points, while fellow guard Marquis Weddle added 17 ... Hudson was signed by the NBA’s Washington Wizards last week after Gilbert Arenas was traded and John Wall suffered a bruised right kneecap. Last Win Over Skyhawks Was Historic UT’s win over UT Martin on Nov. 18, 2008, gave Tennessee its 34th straight home victory, setting the record for longest home win streak in program history ... That streak was eventually extended to 37 games before the Vols fell at home on Gonzaga on Jan. 7, 2009 (89-79 in overtime).

Schedule Daunting As Ever According to statistical expert Ken Pomeroy of KenPom.com, Tennessee’s overall strength of schedule is No. 5 nationally ... Pomeroy considers Tennessee’s opponents’ average adjusted offensive efficiency to be No. 1 nationally ... All KenPom. com ratings are through the games of Dec. 26.
Tatum Quietly Making A Big Difference Junior guard Cameron Tatum boasts the best “plusminus” rating on the team ... The Vols are +98 this season when Tatum is on the court (+8.9 ppg). Vols Getting To Free-Throw Line Through the games of Dec. 26, Tennessee ranked third nationally with a free-throw rate (FTA / FGA) of 54.3 ... The Vols attempt 30.0 free throw per game while making 20.5 per game ... Freshman forward Tobias Harris has attempted a team-high 65 free throws this season (5.9 per game).
Maymon Solid In UT Debut At Charlotte Sophomore forward Jeronne Maymon (pronounced: jur-ON MAY-min) transferred to UT from Marquette during the holiday break last season and made his Tennessee debut Dec. 17 at Charlotte ... In 16 minutes off the bench, Maymon recorded six points, eight rebounds and one assist ... To fulfill the NCAA’s transfer residency requirements, the 6-7, 258-pound Maymon had to wait until Fall 2010 semester grades have been posted and finalized before he could take the court with the Vols ... A native of Madison, Wis., Maymon adds depth and toughness to the UT frontcourt and will see most of his minutes at the No. 4 position.
Tennessee Remains Lone Blemish On Pitt, Nova Schedules Big East powerhouses Pitt and Villanova each have just one loss this season, and each team’s lone blemish came against Tennessee ... The Vols beat Nova at Madison Square Garden and defeated Pitt in Pittsburgh.

Pearl Predicted Physicality, Bone Concurred Bruce Pearl mentioned multiple times during the preseason that this is his most physical team at UT ... According to senior guard Josh Bone: “We put a big emphasis on being more physical this year. Defense will be a big key to how far we go. Judging by our early workouts, we’re going to apply a lot of ball pressure on every position on the floor. It’s not going to be easy for our opponents. I know I wouldn’t want to be on the other team having to play against us this year.” Impressive Debut For Harris True freshman Tobias Harris dropped a seemingly effortless 18 points on Chattanooga during his collegiate debut Nov. 12 at Thompson-Boling Arena ... Harris led the Vols in scoring, minutes (26) and field goals made (7) while shooting 7-of-11 from the floor and draining his only 3-point attempt during Tennessee’s 20-point win ... Harris also added five rebounds and an assist to his stellar performance ... His 18-point Tennessee debut surpassed that of any Vol during the Pearl era.

OUTLIVE: Round 3 The Tennessee basketball program’s OUTLIVE initiative has raised close to $255,000 for cancer research and prevention education since its inception during the 2008-09 season ... So far, OUTLIVE has helped the UT Medical Center Cancer Institute provide more than 23,000 cancer screenings throughout East Tennessee .... The highly successful OUTLIVE initiative was the idea of former graduate manager Brooks Savage (now a full-time hoops staffer at Tulane), who was inspired to action after witnessing the impact cancer had on the UT basketball team (Bruce Pearl’s mother is a cancer survivor; former Vol Chris Lofton quietly and courageously underwent treatment for testicular cancer during his senior season in 2007-08) ... Bruce and Brandy Pearl have a goal to help raise $1 million for the OUTLIVE program over five years, and the couple is hosting an “Evening In Orange” fundraising event in April that is expected to raise more than $1 million in just that one night alone ... Much of those proceeds will go toward the expansion, renovation and construction of the facilities at the UTMC Cancer Institute ... Tennessee throttled Florida 79-63 in the inaugural OUTLIVE game in January 2009 before shocking second-ranked Kentucky 74-65 in last season’s OUTLIVE contest in February ... This season’s OUTLIVE game is the Feb. 19 clash with Georgia.

Vols Taking The Court In New, State-Of-The-Art adidas Uniforms This Season Tennessee is one of 11 programs this season that is unveiling the lightest and most technologically advanced college basketball uniforms ever ... Designed and developed by adidas, the uniforms are 30 percent lighter and dry twice as fast as previous uniforms to help enhance the Vols’ performance by keeping players cooler, drier and more comfortable on the court ... Made from 60 percent recycled materials, the uniforms feature adidas’ Formotion technology, which reduces seams, decreases friction between the garment and the player’s skin and optimizes the player’s natural movement through specially constructed material ... adidas reduced uniform weight and increased player comfort by switching front and back numbers from heavier, dense materials to a more breathable mesh ... The jersey moves heat and sweat away from the body through a combination of moisture management materials, ventilation channels and three dimensional garments, helping the uniform dry twice as quickly ... All 30 NBA teams also will wear Revolution 30 jerseys this season featuring similar adidas technology. Vols Part Of Loaded 2011 Maui Field The Vols will make their second appearance at the EA Sports Maui Invitational next season ... Along with the perennial tournament host school, Chaminade, the 2011 field includes Duke, Georgetown, Kansas, Memphis, Michigan, Tennessee and UCLA ... Four newly-added Division I mainland tournament teams will be announced at a later date ... The Vols previously competed in the Maui Invitational in 2004, finishing fourth ... And as an assistant coach at Iowa, Bruce Pearl helped lead the Hawkeyes to the 1987 Maui title, with wins over Stanford, Kansas and Villanova. Tennessee Earns Fifth-Straight 20-Win Season Last season, Bruce Pearl’s Volunteers logged 20 wins for the fifth time in his five-year tenure on Rocky Top ... Tennessee now has 23 all-time 20-win seasons to date ... In 18 full seasons as a college head coach, Pearl has now led his team to at least 20 wins 17 times ... That’s darn good.

“Speaking VOLumes” Here’s a look at what people around the nation are saying about the Volunteers. “What impressed me the most was how physical they all were, from Melvin Goins to Skylar McBee to Tobias Harris ... their physicality.’’ - Jay Wright, Villanova
“Talk about delivering the first blow! Tennessee has delivered a haymaker here in Pittsburgh to the Panthers.” - Jay Bilas, ESPN
“Tennessee was staggeringly good, wrecking the Panthers at both ends. Their offensive execution was pristine, and combining this with the individual brilliance of Hopson led to the Vols shooting 56.3 percent from the field.” - Mike DeCourcy, Sporting News
“Defensively, Tennessee is a juggernaut right now.” - Jimmy Dykes, ESPN (Dec. 11)

Steven Pearl’s Summer Blog from Ukraine Steven Pearl traveled to Odessa, Ukraine, June 3-7 as part of a goodwill contingent that administered a sports and wellness clinic to Jewish youth at Tikva Children’s Home. This is a link to his daily blog recounting his experiences there.
“Make no mistake: the Volunteers owned the Panthers, their off ense all but mopping the fl oor over Pitt’s vaunted defense and their defense making the Panthers look scared. Scared is not a word used about Pittsburgh terribly often.” - Dana O’Neil, ESPN.com
“They landed the first punch and we didn’t respond well. They were prepared for us. They came out aggressive from the start and we didn’t. We tried to make a run, but they kept making smart plays.’’ - Brad Wanamaker, Pitt
“What anybody who plays Tennessee these days is getting into is a street fight. The pressing, 3-point-launching Vols who burst on the scene five years ago at Texas have morphed into a very different animal.” - Mike Strange, Knoxville News Sentinel
Vols Sign Pair Of ESPNU Super 60 Guards On Nov. 10, Tennessee signed a pair of guards ranked in the ESPNU Super 60 ... Shooting guard Kevin Ware (Conyers, Ga.) and point guard Chris Jones (Memphis, Tenn.) ... Both signees plan to enroll at UT next summer ... “We got two great guards who are both great-character kids,” Bruce Pearl said. “They stuck with their family, and I won’t forget that.” ... A 5-foot-10, 165-pound point guard, Jones led Memphis Melrose High School to the state championship in 2010 before transferring to Oak Ridge (N.C.) Military Academy ... A 6-foot-4, 170-pound shooting guard, Ware is a senior at Rockdale County High School, which entered this season ranked second in the state of Georgia ... UT’s current roster already includes four other Georgia natives in junior guard Cameron Tatum (Lithonia), sophomore forward Kenny Hall (Stone Mountain) and freshmen guards Trae Golden (Powder Springs) and Jordan McRae (Midway). ESPN’s College GameDay Returns For Historic Men’s/Women’s Doubleheader UT’s meteoric rise in prominence under coach Bruce Pearl continues this season, as ESPN announced in August that the Volunteers will be featured in one of its popular College GameDay Driven by State Farm® matchups for the fourth straight season ... This season’s GameDay broadcast will precede the franchise’s first-ever same-school doubleheader ... The Vols host the Commodores Jan. 15 at noon ET, and then the Lady Vols will play Vanderbilt at 8 p.m. ET ... This marks the second time in three years that College GameDay will broadcast live from Thompson-Boling Arena ... And with North Carolina and UCLA not taking part in GameDay matchups this season, Tennessee now owns the nation’s longest active streak of GameDay appearances (four). Watson On Point With Chicago Bulls Former Tennessee point guard C.J. Watson (200306) is in his fourth year in the NBA but his first with the Chicago Bulls ...

Legends In The Rafters Four Tennessee basketball legends are memorialized with banners in the Thompson-Boling Arena rafters ... During a halftime ceremony on March 1, 2006, banners honoring longtime head coach Ray Mears (1962-77) and beloved radio “Voice of the Vols” John Ward (1964-99) were unveiled ... The UT men’s basketball program had never retired a jersey prior to the 2006-07 season, but after nearly 100 years of hardwood history, Bernard King (1975-77) was the first player to earn that distinguished honor ... King’s No. 53 jersey was officially retired during a halftime ceremony at the Feb. 13, 2007, home game against Kentucky (UT won 89-85) ... Then on March 2, 2008, Ernie Grunfeld (1974-77) became the second UT player to receive the ultimate honor, when his No. 22 jersey was unveiled in the rafters during halftime of Tennessee’s 63-60 victory over Kentucky.

The Vols have won nearly 75 percent of their games in Thompson-Boling Arena and have ranked in the top 10 nationally in attendance 11 times, including an active streak of five consecutive seasons in which UT has ranked in the top five. • Tennessee is 275-94 (.745) in 23 seasons in Thompson-Boling Arena. • Since the 1998 season, the Vols are 175-35 (.833) in Thompson-Boling Arena. • The Vols are 80-24 against SEC teams at home over the last 11 seasons. • Tennessee has won 27 of its last 31 SEC games at Thompson-Boling Arena. • UT has won 102 of its last 113 home games against non-conference opponents. • UT is 41-4 in home games against non-conference opponents under Bruce Pearl. • Tennessee finished both the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons with a 16-0 home record. • This is the third straight season in which Sporting News has tabbed Thompson-Boling Arena the “best homecourt advantage” in the Southeastern Conference.
Vols Look To Build New Home Win Streak The Vols are looking for a second consecutive home win ... After posting back-to-back 16-0 home records in 2006-07 and 2007-08, the Vols turned in an uncharacteristic 10-5 mark at Thompson-Boling Arena in 2008-09 before going 15-1 last year ... Now in his sixth season at UT, Bruce Pearl is 75-10 at Thompson-Boling Arena. Season-Ticket Sales Strong Again Tennessee has sold 14,800 season tickets thus far, with the only available season-ticket packages remaining located in the arena’s upper level, mostly above Row 10 ... Last year’s season-ticket sales topped out at 15,100 (the second consecutive year the Vols sold more than 15,000). Vols Enjoying World-Class Facilities The University of Tennessee invested more than $35 million into its basketball facilities between the end of the 2006-07 campaign and the start of 200708 ... During that eight-month period, UT added a basketball-only practice facility and began the first phase of renovations to Thompson-Boling Arena ... The $19 million first phase of renovations included the addition of 32 luxury suites that are located in the existing north balcony, a loge area just below the luxury suites that includes 166 side court seats, new seats for the entire arena, a $3 million centerhung scoreboard and concourse refurbishments, such as graphics and other amenities ... The renovations took Thompson-Boling’s capacity down from 24,535 to 21,678 ... The Vols’ new state-of-the-art basketball practice facility, Pratt Pavilion, houses two full-size gymnasiums, one for each of the men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as an athletic training room, weight room and film-study room ... Prior to last season, a pedestrian bridge was constructed leading from the G-10 parking garage to the arena, an elevator was added at the arena’s northwest end as a customer service amenity and new exterior signage was installed on the building’s facade ... The UT athletics department is now renovating the men’s and women’s basketball offices at the arena in, creating a new and impressive “front door” for the basketball programs. Vols Among Nation’s “Most Valuable” Programs In the spring of 2010, the Tennessee men’s basketball program was included on Forbes.com’s list of the 20 “most valuable” college basketball programs in the country ... The figures showed UT hoops with a value of $14.1 million and a profit of $8.6 million in 2009-10.

Noting Golden • Has quietly averaged 4.2 points and 2.9 assists per game. • Missed the NIT Season Tip-Off championship game with a flu-like illness. • Led the Vols with a season-high seven assists in the NIT Season Tip-Off win over VCU (11/24/10) in Madison Square Garden. • Made his first career start in the win over Missouri State (11/17/10) and totaled eight points, two rebounds and two assists (just one turnover) in 28 minutes. • Secured UT’s win over Belmont (11/16/10) by sinking two key free throws with 20 seconds left in the game to give the Vols a five-point lead. • Was perfect from the field (3-for-3) and the free throw line (2-for-2) while scoring eight points in his collegiate debut vs. Chattanooga (11/12/10). • Hard work in the preseason has earned him the primary backup point guard duties • Possesses deceptive explosiveness and can get his shot off against any defender. • Has great instincts, excels in transition and can finish with contact at the rim. • Is comfortable with the ball in high-pressure situations. • Still working hard to gain a better understanding of “team defense” principles • Competing with starting point guard Melvin Goins everyday in practice has helped him adust to the physical nature of SEC basketball.
Delving Deeper One of four Georgia natives on Tennessee’s current roster (joining Kenny Hall, Jordan McRae and Cameron Tatum) ... Was a national top-100 recruit and the 2010 “Mr. Basketball” in the state of Georgia ... Was a teammate of fellow Vols freshman Jordan McRae on the 2010 adidas Nations U.S. National Team ... Was the first player in his high school’s history to score 2,000 career points (impressive, considering MHS also produced NBA players Josh Smith and Morris Almond) ... Almond is Golden’s first cousin ... Academic major is Business.

Noting Harris • Has already been a two-time SEC Freshman of the Week (Nov. 22 and Dec. 6). • Shoots a team-high 5.9 free throws per game and ranks second on the team in scoring (15.1 ppg), rebounding (6.2 rpg), blocks (0.9 bpg) and steals (1.1 spg). • His first career double-double was a 12-point, 10-rebound effort at Charlotte (12/17/10). • Posted his first career 20-point game (21) vs. Middle Tennessee (11/30/10). • In his return home to New York, he averaged 15.0 points and 6.5 rebounds en route to All-Tournament Team honors at the NIT Season Tip-Off in Madison Square Garden. • Flirted with a double-double (15 points and nine rebounds) in the NIT Season Tip-Off championship win over seventh-ranked Villanova (11/26/10). • Totaled 15 points and four rebounds in the NIT Season Tip-Off semifinal win over VCU (11/24/10). • Was 2-for-2 from 3-point range en route to a team-high 15 points in the win over Missouri State (11/17/10). • Totaled 16 points and seven boards as the Vols beat Belmont (11/16/10). • Led the Vols in points (18) and minutes (26) while also tallying five rebounds and shooting 7-of-11 from the floor in his collegiate debut vs. Chattanooga (11/12/10). • Coach Pearl has called Harris the “most mature and hardest-working freshman” he has ever had. • Pearl has compared Harris’ skill-set to that of Larry Bird. • Fits the Dane Bradshaw and Tyler Smith “point forward” mold that is vital to Pearl’s offensive system. • Creates advantage/disadvantage situations with his ability to take 4-men off the dribble. • Is also a tough matchup because of his great shooting touch, his knack for finishing around the basket (uses the glass) and his ability to push the fast break.

Attended the same high school as UT All-Century Team member and former AllAmerica forward A.W. Davis (1962-65) ... Played quarterback on his high school football team ...
