• Tennessee is embarked on its 103rd season of varsity basketball and its first under head coach Cuonzo Martin (pronounced KAHN-zo). • After dispatching UNC Greensboro 92-63 on Friday, Nov. 11, the Vols have now won 20 straight season-openers. • ULM suffered a 60-38 loss at Ole Miss Friday in its season-opener and then dropped a 71-59 contest to Indiana State Monday. The Warhawks are averaging 48.5 points per game while giving up 65.5. ULM is shooting .330 from the field and .353 from 3-point range. • Sophomore point guard Trae Golden was named the SEC Player of the Week (Nov. 7-13) after setting career-highs for points (29), rebounds (6), assists (9), field goals made and attempted (10-14) and 3-pointers made and attempted (5-9) in UT’s win over UNC Greensboro Friday. • Senior forward Renaldo Woolridge totaled 11 points, eight rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes off the bench Friday. It was his first double-digit scoring performance since posting a career-high 14 points in Tennessee’s upset of top-ranked Kansas Jan. 10, 2010, in Knoxville. • The Big Orange shot .646 (31-48) in Friday’s opener. That’s Tennessee’s best single-game percentage since Nov. 20, 2007, when it shot .649 (37-57) in a win over Middle Tennessee. • Tennessee landed at No. 30 in Monday’s Sagarin Ratings; that’s third-best among SEC teams. • The Vols depart for Maui Thursday morning to compete in the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational Championship Round Nov. 21-23 at the Lahaina Civic Center. Tennessee faces Duke Monday. • The Vols’ roster features five returning lettermen and five scholarship newcomers. Senior guard Cameron Tatum is Tennessee’s lone returning starter. • This is Tennessee’s 25th season of basketball in Thompson-Boling Arena. Over the previous 24 years, the riverfront facility has hosted more than 6.2 million fans for men’s basketball games, and the Volunteers have posted a 281-100 (.738) regular-season home record.
