A TENNESSEE WIN WOULD...  Give the Vols a four-game win streak  Secure the Vols a top-four seed in the SEC Tournament  Give Cuonzo Martin’s Vols an 8-5 record in March.  Give the Vols their 24th all-time 20-win season, and the second 20-win campaign under coach Cuonzo Martin.  Give UT its second consecutive season with at least 11 SEC wins.

¢ Tennessee is tied with Arkansas for fourth place in the SEC with one game left to play. The Vols would win a tiebreaker with the Razorbacks. ¢ According to ESPN’s InsideRPI, Tennessee owns an RPI of No. 51 and has the 15th toughest strength-of-schedule (as of March 7). ¢ The Vols join Florida and Kentucky as the only teams with four or more SEC road wins this year. ¢ The careers of Antonio Barton, D’Montre Edwards, Jeronne Maymon and Jordan McRae will be celebrated during a pregame Senior Day ceremony Saturday (set to start ~3:45 p.m.). ¢ The Vols also hosted Missouri last season on Senior Day. UT dominated the glass, 45-32, and Jordan McRae scored 14 of his 15 points in the second half as the Vols won, 64-62. ¢ Missouri is one of only three SEC programs that has a winning record against Tennessee (Alabama and Kentucky are the others). ¢ Missouri starting forward Jonathan Williams III is a true freshman from Memphis, Tenn. He graduated from Southwind High School. Vols junior Jarnell Stokes is also a Southwind graduate, but he did play basketball there (graduated early, enrolled at UT in January 2012). ¢ Tennessee has not trailed in its last three games (120 total minutes). ¢ Thursday, March 6, was Tennessee senior Jeronne Maymon’s 23rd birthday. ¢ Jarnell Stokes ranks fourth nationally in offensive rebounding, with 4.2 orpg. ¢ Jarnell Stokes on Wednesday became the 46th Vol ever to pass the 1,000-point milestone.
