¢ Tennessee owns a 14-3 record during the month of February under head coach Cuonzo Martin. ¢ According to ESPN’s InsideRPI, Tennessee owns an RPI of No. 40 and has the 10th toughest strength-of-schedule (as of Feb. 3). ¢ Just 181.63 miles separate UT’s ThompsonBoling Arena in Knoxville and Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gymnasium in Nashville. ¢ Tennessee’s 113 wins over the Commodores are the most by the Vols over any opponent, and only Kentucky (217 games) has been an opponent of the Vols more times than Vanderbilt. ¢ Tennessee owns a 28-41 all-time record at VU’s Memorial Gym. That includes a 24-39 mark against Vanderbilt. ¢ These programs’ strength and conditioning coaches are brothers. Tennessee’s Nicodemus Christopher is the younger brother of Vandy’s Garry Christopher. See Page 3. ¢ Vols freshman point guard Darius Thompson is a native of nearby Murfreesboro, Tenn. He verbally committed to Vanderbilt before re-opening his recruitment and eventually signing with UT. ¢ Tennessee has posted consecutive wire-to-wire victories; the Vols haven’t trailed in their last 40 minutes played. ¢ UT senior Jordan McRae has 11 3-pointers in the last two games; he scored 26 points in each. ¢ Vols senior Jeronne Maymon is 17-of-18 at the free-throw line in UT’s last four games (.944). ¢ Vols junior Jarnell Stokes ranks fifth nationally in offensive rebounding, with 4.19 orpg.
