¢ This is Tennessee’s third tournament appearance in Puerto Rico, and the Vols are 4-4 here. ¢ Tennessee went 2-1 at the 1999 Puerto Rico Holiday Classic, defeating American-Puerto Rico and Southern Illinois before falling to Tulsa in the title game. The Vols posted a 1-2 record at the 1991 San Juan Shootout, with a win over American-Puerto Rico followed by losses to TCU and Miami (Fla). ¢ The Vols swept a home-and-home series with UMass in 2003 and 2004, the only meetings in the series. Current Brooklyn Nets guard C.J. Watson totaled 20 points and 11 assists for UT in the two wins. ¢ Last season, UMass went 25-11 and advanced to the semfinals of both the Atlantic 10 Championship and the NIT. The Minutemen finished tied for fifth in the Atlantic 10 after being picked 12th in the preseason. ¢ Leading the way was Chaz Williams, who averaged 16.9 points, 6.2 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game and was named first-team All-Atlantic 10 and NABC All-District. He set UMass sophomore records for assists (231) and steals (81). ¢ Head coach Derek Kellogg is in his fifth year leading his alma mater. The 1995 UMass graduate returned for his first head coaching job after serving as an assistant coach for 12 years, the last eight at Memphis under former UMass head coach John Calipari. ¢ Kellogg, who was recruited by and played for Calipari at UMass, was teammates with current Auburn head coach Tony Barbee in Amherst.
