A TENNESSEE WIN WOULD...  Be the Vols’ first NCAA Tournament win since 2010.  Be Cuonzo Martin’s first NCAA Tournament win as a head coach.  Make Cuonzo Martin just the fourth Tennessee coach to win an NCAA Tournament game (DeVoe, Green, Pearl).  Give the Vols their first NCAA Tournament victory in Dayton in three tries (lost in 2001 and 2009).

¢ The Vols and Hawkeyes are vying for the Midwest Region’s No. 11 seed. The winner advances to Raleigh, N.C., to face No. 6 seed UMass Friday at 2:45 p.m. ET. ¢ The Vols played nine games against teams comprising the field of 68, going 2-7 in those contests. The wins came against Xavier and ACC Champion Virginia (the East No. 1 seed), and UT’s margin of victory in those victories was +22.5. ¢ Tennessee won its only previous game against a Fran McCaffery-coached team, and that contest also was played at a neutral site. The 12th-ranked Vols defeated Siena 78-64 at the Old Spice Classic Nov. 27, 2008, in Orlando, Fla. ¢ Nine Hawkeyes average at least 15.0 minutes per game. Tennessee has just five active players who average at least 15.0 minutes. And five Vols play more than 25.0 mpg, as opposed to only two for Iowa. ¢ Cuonzo Martin and UT associate head coach Tracy Webster both played in the Big Ten, suiting up for Purdue and Wisconsin, respectively, in the 1990s. ¢ The Volunteers played in the game that led to the construction of UD Arena. See Page 4. ¢ CBSSports.com rates Tennessee’s strength-ofschedule as No. 20 in the nation. ¢ Tennessee has won five of its last six games and has held its last four opponents to an average of just 47.4 points per game. ¢ Tennessee junior forward Jarnell Stokes was named to the SEC All-Tournament Team Sunday. ¢ UT will wear its home whites Wednesday.
