• The Vols finished up Fall semester final exams last week. Spring semester classes begin Jan. 11. • Through eight games, Tennessee already has faced three Associated Press top-20 teams. • UT’s average margin of defeat against the three AP top-20 teams it has played was 5.7 points. • Bobby Cremins’ 30 previous seasons as a head coach include stints at Appalachian State (1976-81), Georgia Tech (1982-2000) and College of Charleston (2007-present). Surprisingly, however, he has only faced Tennessee twice (each of the last two seasons). • Cremins did face the Vols once during his collegiate playing days as a point guard at South Carolina. His No. 1-ranked Gamecocks were upset by Tennessee 55-54 in Columbia, S.C., on Dec. 6, 1969. • The Cougars’ top scorer, senior Antwaine Wiggins, is a graduate of Greeneville High School in Greeneville, Tenn., which is located about 75 miles northeast of Knoxville. • Charleston forces an average of 15.2 turnovers per game. Valuing the basketball will be key for the Vols, who allowed 27 points off 18 turnovers in Saturday’s loss to Austin Peay. Tennessee averages 13.0 turnovers per game this season. • Beginning with the Pitt game on Dec. 3, the Volunteers entered a stretch of games during which six of seven contests will be played at home in Thompson-Boling Arena. The Dec. 14 game at College of Charleston is UT’s only game away from Rocky Top during the month of December. • Tennessee players have logged six double-doubles through just eight games this year. And no player on the Vols’ roster posted a double-double last season. See note on Page 3. • Only once in the last seven years has Tennessee shot better than 70 percent at the free-throw line (.701 in 2005-06). The Vols are shooting .727 at the charity stripe so far this season. • Senior guard Cameron Tatum participated in graduation ceremonies on Dec. 9 in ThompsonBoling Arena. The Lithonia, Ga., native earned his degree in Africana Studies. Since December 2009, 10 Tennessee basketball players have earned their degrees.
