PLAYER TRENDS

A WIN WOULD...

Saturday’s game is part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge, which is in its second year. The Vols did not participate last season.

Eight offensive boards highlighted Armani Moore’s double-double effort vs. Marquette (18 points, 13 rebounds).

Give the Vols a .500 record.

Five of Tennessee’s six games during the month of December take place at home.

Senior Josh Richardson ranks sixth in the SEC in both scoring (15.8 ppg) and minutes played (34.0 mpg).

The Vols have yet to lead a game at halftime this season.

Prevent UT’s first three-game losing skid in a single season since January of 2013, when the Vols fell to Memphis, Ole Miss, Alabama and Kentucky. Make Tennessee 11-16 all-time against current members of the Big 12 Conference. Give Donnie Tyndall his first head coaching win over a Big 12 Conference opponent (0-3).
