• Tennessee is preparing to embark on its 102nd season of varsity basketball and its sixth season under head coach Bruce Pearl. • Located in Indianapolis, Ind., the University of Indianapolis is an NCAA Division II school that is a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference and has an enrollment of 5,240. Last year the Greyhounds recorded a 12-16 (6-12 GLVC) record. • The Greyhounds were tabbed by the Great Lakes Valley Conference head coaches to finish fifth in the GLVC East Division and are coached by a former pupil of Bruce Pearl (see Page 2). • Cameron Tatum and Indianapolis junior Cory Zackery both hail from Lithonia, Ga., and are friends. The pair often trains together during the off-season. Tatum attended Tucker High School, and Zackery attended Lithonia High School. • The Volunteers are 15-1 in exhibition games during the Pearl era, including a perfect 11-0 in Thompson-Boling Arena. The lone loss was a 103-98 setback against Pezinok BK in Bratislava, Slovakia, during UT’s summer tour of Europe in 2007. • In exhibition games under Pearl, Tennessee outscores its opponents 103.5 to 68.0 ppg for a scoring margin of +35.5 ppg. • The Vols’ roster features 10 returning lettermen and five scholarship newcomers. Returning starters are junior guard Scotty Hopson and senior center Brian Williams. • Tennessee was picked by the media to finish fourth in the SEC Eastern Division. Florida was picked to win the East (and the overall league title), while Mississippi State was the media’s preseason pick to win the West. • The Vols’ top returning scorer, Scotty Hopson was named to the media’s preseason All-SEC first team and was a second-team selection on the SEC head coaches’ preseason All-SEC team.
