¢ This contest concludes a four-game homestand for the Vols before they begin SEC play Tuesday at LSU. ¢ For Tusculum, a Division II school based in Greeneville, Tenn., this is an exhibition game. It is a regular-season game for Tennessee, but it will not factor into UT’s NCAA RPI. Statistics for the Vols will count in their UT and NCAA career totals. ¢ Though the Vols have hosted three exhibition games vs. Tusculum in the last decade, UT has not faced the Pioneers in a regular-season game since Dec. 15, 1944. ¢ Tusculum head coach Michael Jones is from Maysville, Ky., which also is the hometown of Vols legend and SEC 3-Point King Chris Lofton (2005-08). ¢ The Vols dismantled Virginia 87-52 Monday. The Cavs entered the game ranked in the top 10 nationally in six defensive stat categories. ¢ Tennessee had three 20-point scorers vs. UVA. It was the first time that happened in a regulation game since Feb. 5, 2008 (104-82 win vs. Florida). ¢ Only five teams in Division I average fewer turnovers per game than Tennessee (9.4 tpg). ¢ In UT’s last two games, Josh Richardson is averaging 19.5 points while shooting .727 from the field (16-of-22). ¢ Jarnell Stokes (9.3 rpg) and Jeronne Maymon (8.3 rpg) are the SEC’s second- and fourth-leading rebounders, respectively. ¢ Stokes turns 20-year-old Tuesday, Jan. 7.
