¢ Tennessee sits in a four-way tie for fifth place in the SEC standings with six games left to play. ¢ Tennessee owns a 15-6 record during the month of February under head coach Cuonzo Martin. ¢ According to ESPN’s InsideRPI, Tennessee owns an RPI of No. 54 and has the 10th toughest strength-of-schedule (as of Feb. 17). ¢ The Volunteers are 7-2 in games immediately following a loss this season. ¢ All-SEC candidate Jordan McRae scored a career-high 35 points the last time Tennessee faced Georgia (3/2/13). That ties for the sixth-best scoring performance ever by a Vol against the Dawgs. ¢ McRae is coming off a 31-point performance at Missouri. It was his second 30-point game of the season and the fourth of his career. ¢ The Bulldogs have won two straight meetings in Knoxville. In the 100-plus-year history of this series, Georgia has never strung together three consecutive victories in Knoxville. ¢ This is the first season since 1962-63 that the Vols will not face UGA in Athens, Ga. ¢ All-SEC candidate Jarnell Stokes is the only player in the conference averaging a doubledouble in league play (14.5 ppg, 11.3 rpg). ¢ Jarnell Stokes has 14 double-doubles this season and 32 in his career (both lead the SEC). ¢ Junior Jarnell Stokes ranks fifth nationally in offensive rebounding, with 4.20 orpg. ¢ Jarnell Stokes is just 75 points shy of joining UT’s 45-member 1,000-Point Club. ¢ In UT’s last six games, junior wing Josh Richardson is 13-of-28 from 3-point range (.464).
