TENNESSEE BASKETBALL

BY THE NUMBERS

28

» During his two-year tenure at Southern Miss, Donnie Tyndall averaged 28 wins per season. The Golden Eagles won 27 games in 2012-13 and 29 games in 2013-14.

1

» That’s how many players on Tennessee’s roster have ever scored in double figures in an SEC game. Josh Richardson is the only Vol to have done so.

TEAM NOTES ABOUT MERCER • The Bears are off to a 6-5 start this season under veteran head coach Bob Hoffman.

• This is the first of three consecutive road games vs.

SEC opponents for the Bears. After visiting Knoxville, Mercer travels to Georgia (Dec. 27) and Texas A&M (Dec. 30). Mercer is 0-2 in true road games so far this season.

• Junior guard Ike Nwamu leads Mercer in scoring (17.3 ppg) and 3-point percentage (.421).

• The Bears are outscoring their opposition by 5.1 ppg and out-rebounding their opponents by 2.4 rpg. Mercer also owns a +1.3 turnover margin.

• The Bears are shooting .433 as a team.

FAST BREAK Tennessee is one of only 13 programs in the nation to make at least four NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearances in the last eight seasons.

LAST MEETING WITH MERCER • The 11th-seeded Vols topped 14th-seeded Mercer, 83-63, March 23, 2014, in Raleigh, N.C., to reach to the Sweet Sixteen for the seventh time in program history.

• Junior Jarnell Stokes posted his Tennessee-recordtying 22nd double-double of the season with 17 points and 18 rebounds. Stokes’ equaled UT’s singleseason mark set by Basketball Hall of Famer Bernard King in 1976-77.

• Stokes also set the Vols’ NCAA Tournament for rebounds in a game with 18. He had tied the record in the second round win over UMass with 14.

• Stokes had almost as many rebounds as the entire Mercer team, as the Bears were out-rebounded, 4119. The Vols dominated the offensive glass 18-7.

• Junior UT guard Josh Richardson tallied a careerhigh 26 points, 16 of which came in the first half.

• Senior point guard Antonio Barton netted 18 points as he made 4-of-9 shots from 3-point range. Senior shooting guard Jordan McRae had 14 points.

• The Vols led 42-27 at halftime thanks to 16 first-half points from Richardson and a dominating performance on the glass, 24-4.

• In the second half, Tennessee continued to maintain a lead of at least 11 points. Barton nailed three 3-pointers in the half as Mercer was unable to close the gap.

• Mercer was led by Langston Hall, who scored 15 points.

SEASONS ENDED LAST TWO TIMES THESE TEAMS MET • Tennessee ended Mercer’s season by knocking the Bears out of last year’s NCAA Tournament at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C. • But one year earlier, Mercer ended Tennessee’s 201213 season by handing the Vols a 75-67 loss in the opening round of the 2013 NIT in Knoxville (March 20, 2013).

“QUOTABLE”

Chris Dortch, Blue Ribbon

“Tyndall hasn’t bitched and moaned about what he doesn’t have. He’s moving forward with what he does have, and opponents had better be wary. This team doesn’t quit.

11

» That’s how many steals converted point guard Josh Richardson has over UT’s last three games. He leads the Vols with 19 steals on the year (2.1 spg).

DID

YOU KNOW?

J-RICH HAD CAREER DAY VS. MERCER • Vols guard Josh Richardson had the best game of his career in last year’s NCAA Tournament, and it came against Mercer.

• Then a junior, Richardson started as UT’s threeman and scored a career-high 26 points on 9-of-13 shooting.

• He scored 16 points in the first half and finished the day with three assists and one rebound in 37 minutes of action. He was 6-for-9 at the free-throw line and also made a pair of 3-pointers.

• Said Mercer coach Bob Hoffman after the game: “Richardson was MVP of the world tonight. He was a special player tonight, and he hit every shot he took, it seemed.”

VOLS’ SOS SIXTH IN ESPN RPI • Tennessee’s strength-of-schedule ranks sixth nationally according to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index (BPI).

• Interestingly, UT has already played the teams with the first- and second-toughest schedules per the BPI, in Kansas and VCU, respectively.

UT TAKING FEWER 3s, MAKING MORE • UT attempted an average of 16.3 3-pointers through its first six games, making just 4.3 per game.

• In its last three outings, however, Tennessee is attempting only 13.0 triples on average, making 6.0 per game.

• That has caused the Vols’ 3-point shooting percentage to increase from .265 through six games to .321 currently.

• Over the last three games, Tennessee is shooting .462 as a team from beyond the arc.

TENNESSEE A “SECOND-HALF TEAM” • Tennessee owns a -5.8 scoring margin in the first half this season (33.9 to 28.1), but in the second half of games, the Vols outscore their opponents 37.9 to 33.8 for a +4.1 margin.

• In the home win over 15th-ranked Butler (12/14/14), UT outscored the Bulldogs 42-21 in the second half.

SCORING CONTRIBUTIONS BY CLASS • Tennessee receives more than 44 percent of its scoring from its juniors this season. Josh Richardson is the only senior who has scored; he is responsible for more than one-fourth of the Vols’ point production.

CLASS POINTS PER GAME % OF TEAM TOTAL Freshmen 15.2 ppg 23.1 Sophomores 4.6 ppg 6.9 Juniors 29.1 ppg 44.1 Seniors 16.9 ppg 25.6

Tyndall is a Sneakerhead

Donnie Tyndall has a vast personal collection of close to 500 pairs of sneakers.

“I’ve always been a shoe fanatic,” Tyndall said.

“I remember my mom and dad would give me a hundred dollars the week before school started and I had to make that work for my clothes.

So usually it was three pairs of jeans and three shirts. But one year, they gave me a hundred bucks and the brand-new Jordans came out like the day before and I spent all hundred bucks on those.”

DT Likes Gators?!

Ever since he was a kid, Donnie Tyndall has been fascinated by alligators. He particularly enjoyed watching TV shows about gators.

When he was the head coach at Southern Miss, his family surprised him with an actual pet alligator. The gator’s name: Alley-oop.

Tyndall eventually had to say goodbye to Alley-oop. The only gator folks in Knoxville approve of is fried gator!

UT Roster Boasts Potential Olympian

If Puerto Rico qualifies for the 2016 Olympics, Vols junior Derek Reese may be boarding a flight to Rio. Reese, whose grandparents, Anselmo and Irma Montañez, were born in Puerto Rico, is active in that country’s national program.

He played for Puerto Rico’s Men’s National “B” Team at the 2013 FIBA Stankovic Continental Champions Cup in China.

Michiganders Abound at Tennessee

Each of Tennessee’s “big three” athletic programs prominently feature a Michigan native on the coaching staff. Donnie Tyndall is a native of Grand Rapids. Head football coach Butch Jones hails from Saugatuck. And longtime assistant women’s basketball coach Dean Lockwood is from Bay City.

WLA (we like acronyms)

VFL = Vol For Life; GBO = Go Big Orange; HAT = Humble Appreciative Thankful

2014-15 TENNESSEE BASKETBALL | UTSPORTS.COM | @VOL_HOOPS

TENNESSEE BASKETBALL TYNDALL TOUGH AT HOME • Over the last three seasons (dating to start of 201213), Donnie Tyndall’s teams are 31-1 in regularseason home games (27-1 at Southern Miss; 4-0 at Tennessee).

• Since his last regular-season home loss as a head coach (Memphis, 2/9/13), his teams are 22-0 at home in regular-season contests.

HOME WIN STREAK = SEVEN GAMES • Dating to last season, Tennessee has won seven straight home games at Thompson-Boling Arena.

• Third-ranked Florida was the last visitor to escape Knoxville with a victory, as the Gators posted a 6758 win on Feb. 11, 2014.

• The Vols have won 10 straight home games against unranked opponents.

FAST BREAK Detrick Mostella’s 17-point Tennessee debut equaled the debut scoring output of former All-Americans Allan Houston (1989) and Ron Slay (1999) and marked the most points by a Vol in his debut since current Orlando Magic star Tobias Harris debuted with 18 points against Belmont Nov. 12, 2010.

FRESHMEN PLAYING BIG ROLE

• Tennessee has won 13 of its last 14 December home games, dating to Dec. 20, 2011.

• The lone loss during that span came last season when the Vols suffered a 65-58 setback to NC State (Dec. 18, 2013).

VOLS PICKED 13th IN SEC

McGHEE OUT WITH FOOT INJURY

• Tennessee was predicted to finish 13th in the 2015 SEC race by an SEC and national media voting panel.

EACH MAN HAS FIVE TO GIVE • The Vols rank 13th in the nation in fouls per game, with an average of 22.9.

• Through just nine games, Tennessee has had nine “player disqualifications” for fouling out.

• The school record for DQs in a season is 24, which has happened three times (1962, 1977, 1978).

• Senior guard Josh Richardson needs just 109 points to become the 47th all-time member of Tennessee’s 1,000-Point Club.

• Richardson scored a career-high 381 points last season, and he totaled 261 as a sophomore starter in 2012-13. He appeared in all 34 games as a freshman in 2011-12, scoring 97 points.

• Richardson has started 78 of Tennessee’s last 79 games spanning the past three seasons.

RICHARDSON AMONG SEC’s ELITE • True freshmen Willie Carmichael III (17.8 mpg), Detrick Mostella (16.9 mpg) and Tariq Owens (7.3 mpg) all are playing significant roles for the Vols.

• Tennessee has started multiple true freshmen in three games this season.

• True freshmen are combining to average 51.8 minutes per game and have combined to make 11 starts.

• Last season, Tennessee freshmen accounted for only 11 starts all year, and the Vols never started multiple freshmen in a single game.

GOOD TO BE HOME IN DECEMBER

RICHARDSON LOOKING TO JOIN 1,000-POINT CLUB

• UT’s already thin frontcourt was dealt a major blow Dec. 17 at NC State, when freshman Jabari McGhee (4.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg) suffered a right foot injury. He had surgery Dec. 19 and is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of six weeks.

• McGhee led the Vols in field-goal percentage (.700), and was the team’s second-leading offensive rebounder (2.3 oprg) while playing 13.9 minutes per game.

• Josh Richardson is the only player in the SEC to rank among the league’s active career top-10 in each of the following statistical categories: points, blocks, steals and assists.

• Richardson ranks third in points (891), fifth in blocks (78), fifth in steals (99) and ninth in assists (154).

RICHARDSON IS EFFICIENT • In UT’s last three games, Josh Richardson has a 5.5 assist/turnover ratio (11 to 2). He has played 111 minutes during that span.

• He also has 11 steals in the last three games.

NOBODY DOES MOORE • Junior “human multi-tool” Armani Moore is one of the SEC’s most versatile players, and he is thriving under first-year UT head coach Donnie Tyndall.

• Moore has started every game and leads the Vols in rebounding (6.4 rpg, 9th in the SEC), offensive rebounding (2.3 orpg, 10th in the SEC) and blocks (1.2 bpg).

• Moore has set career-highs in every statistical category already this season.

FAST BREAK During his two years at Southern Miss, coach Donnie Tyndall led the Golden Eagles to 27 total wins away from home (away/neutral site).

BAULKMAN GIVES VOLS A PLUS • Junior Devon Baulkman owns a team-best plus/minus rating of +6.41 per 40 minutes.

• In his 99 minutes played, the Vols are +16.

MICROWAVE MOSTELLA • Offensively, true freshman wing Detrick Mostella has displayed an ability to heat up quickly for UT. • Mostella leads the team in field-goal attempts per 40 minutes this season, averaging 15.3 (9.2 of those attempts are 3-pointers).

• Mostella is Tennessee’s top bench scorer (7.3 ppg).

• Tennessee has played a pair of top-15 teams away from home this season, and Mostella averaged 15.0 points per game in those contests (17 vs. VCU and 13 vs. Kansas).

• In games away from Knoxville, Mostella averages 8.8 ppg, but he only scores 4.5 ppg at home.

CARMICHAEL’S MOTOR NEVER STOPS • True freshman forward Willie Carmichael III has earned a starting assignment for seven of UT’s eight games so far this season, and he averages 4.1 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 52 percent.

• Tyndall has said that Carmichael, at this early stage in his career, reminds him of a young Kenneth Faried, who Tyndall coached at Morehead State.

• Carmichael initially signed with Tyndall at Southern Miss before following Tyndall to Tennessee.

GRUELING EARLY GAUNTLET • The Vols’ first seven games featured three opponents ranked in the Associated Press Top-25 poll.

• Tennessee faced then-15th-ranked VCU (Nov. 14) and then-11th-ranked Kansas (Nov. 28) on neutral floors. The Vols also beat then-15th-ranked Butler in Knoxville (Dec. 14).

• The last time UT’s schedule featured at least three top-15 opponents in the first seven games: 1992-93, when coach Wade Houston’s Vols played No. 6 Seton Hall, No. 8 Memphis State and No. 15 Syracuse.

Just like it did this season, Tennessee went 1-2 in that stretch, beating Memphis State (now Memphis).

POINT GUARD STORYLINES • UT entered the Donnie Tyndall era without the benefit of having a healthy, “true” point guard on its roster.

• Senior wing Josh Richardson made his point guard debut as a Vol Nov. 14 vs. VCU. Throughout much of the preseason, Richardson was expected to serve as the backup at the point, but Tyndall ultimately decided that Richardson was the team’s best option at that critical position.

• Junior-college transfer Kevin Punter, a career twoguard, spent much of the preseason learning the position for the first time before the decision was made to go with Richardson.

• Senior guard Brandon Lopez, a walk-on from Knoxville, is perhaps the most natural “true point guard” on the roster, but he suffered a torn ACL July 26 and underwent surgery Aug. 14. It is expected that he will miss the entire season.

• At the time of his injury, Tyndall stated that Lopez was in the mix to compete for the starting job.

• Graduate transfer Ian Chiles, who joined the Vols this summer following an impressive career at IUPUI, also was being looked upon to shoulder part of the load at the point, but Chiles has battled nagging injuries ever since enrolling at UT (hernia surgery, shoulder, ankle and toe injuries).

FOUR SCHOLARSHIP RETURNEES, PROGRAM-RECORD EIGHT SCHOLARSHIP NEWCOMERS • Tennessee head coach Donnie Tyndall’s first season on Rocky Top saw the addition of eight scholarship newcomers, which marks the most in program history (previous high was seven).

• The Vols return only four scholarship players: senior guard Josh Richardson, junior forward Armani Moore, junior forward Derek Reese and sophomore guard Robert Hubbs III. • Among SEC teams, Tennessee’s nine newcomers (includes one walk-on) tied Missouri for the most in the league. UT’s four returning lettermen tied Missouri and Texas A&M for fewest among SEC teams.

TENNESSEE OWNS THIRD-MOST WINS IN SEC LAST FIVE YEARS

ANNIVERSARIES Highest-Scoring Team

The 2014-15 season marks the 40th anniversary of the highest-scoring team in school history. Head coach Ray Mears’ 1974-75 squad averaged 86.6 points per game (2,251 points in 26 games).

Highest Individual Scoring Average

It was also 40 years ago that a member of that team, Hall of Famer Bernard King, set the school record for single-season scoring average. The legendary Vol averaged 26.4 ppg – as a freshman.

Highest Individual Assists Average

That 1974-75 season was a good year to be a Tennessee point guard, and Rodney Woods capitalized.

With weapons like Bernard King, Ernie Grunfeld and Mike Jackson flanking him, Woods, a senior, set the UT single-season record for total assists (227) and assists per game (8.73).

Best Team Rebounding Margin

Fifty years ago, head coach Ray Mears put together one of the school’s top-rebounding teams. The 196465 Vols boasted the best rebounding margin in program history, out-rebounding opponents by 16.7 rpg.

Highest-Scoring Debut by a Vol

In Bernard King’s college debut – the 40th anniversary of which takes place Nov. 30, 2014 – he dropped 42 points on Wisconsin-Milwaukee. That still stands as a record for most points in a Tennessee debut.

• Dating to the beginning of the 2009-10 season, Tennessee has the third-highest win total among all programs in the SEC (overall and in league play). ¢ TOTAL WINS SINCE 2009-10

Tyndall: “The nuts and bolts of it are Louisville’s matchup zone. And we just tweaked some things. Even (after Kenneth Faried left Morehead State), I liked it so much we stayed with it.”

Jay Bilas, ESPN “If I were coaching in college now, I would give an awful lot of consideration to playing a zone as a primary defense. I really do think (teams have to) spend so much time preparing for (that zone), that you might not be as proficient in doing what you do. Teams like Syracuse and Louisville, they can really take teams out of what they do and force them to play your way. You’re making a team play in a manner they don’t usually play or want to play. So I think Donnie’s system will work really well if he gets the right personnel.”

TENNESSEE BASKETBALL

“DO WHAT YOU DO, AND DO IT WELL.” THE BIRTH OF TYNDALL’S ZONE • In 2007, with a young Kenneth Faried on his roster at Morehead State, Donnie Tyndall was racking his brain for a way to keep Faried close to the basket on defense. The future NBA All-Star was such a force in the paint in the OVC that opponents went to great lengths to lure him out of the paint.

• One common tactic saw opposing teams simply take their center and use him to set ball-screens out front, effectively sacrificing their own big man to try and neutralize Faried.

• Said Tyndall: “What teams we’re doing to Kenneth Faried was the biggest impetus for me moving to the matchup zone. He was constantly getting dragged out 25 feet from the rim, hedging ball screens, and good coaches were telling their five men to do that, to drag him out there and try to wear him down or get him to pick up a cheap foul.”

• “So protecting Kenneth was the main reason for going in that direction initially, but it’s just continued to evolve over the years as we’ve changed things and tweaked different things inside the scheme. We’ve changed some rules about how we’ve guarded certain actions after seeing some things we didn’t respond well to.”

FAST BREAK In the semifinals of the Orlando Classic, Tennessee forced 11th-ranked Kansas to make 11 second-half turnovers (16 total).

“QUOTABLE”

Drew Kelly, former player

“The general principles aren’t difficult to learn, because it’s just like man. Where it’s different is that your help is all based on zone principles with rules and scripts for every kind of situation.”

WINNING THE TURNOVER BATTLE • UT has forced more turnovers than it has committed in seven of its nine games this season.

• Tennessee’s +3.8 turnover margin ranks third in the SEC. • The Vols force opponents into 14.6 turnovers per game while committing only 10.8.

• Tennessee’s turnover percentage of 23.3 ranks 41st nationally.

STEALS PREVALENT IN TYNDALL’S SYSTEM • The aggressive, matchup-zone defensive system employed by coach Donnie Tyndall led to both of his Southern Miss teams ranking among the Division I leaders in steals each of the past two seasons.

• In 2012-13, Southern Miss ranked fifth nationally with an average of 9.6 steals per game. In 2013-14, Tyndall’s Conference USA championship team ranked 17th nationally with 8.2 steals per game.

• This season, Tennessee averages 7.9 steals per game, which ranks 68th nationally.

TAKING CHARGE QUICK DEFENSIVE NOTES • Tennessee has drawn 10 total charges this season.

• UT also has forced five shot-clock violations and one 10-second call.

• Senior Josh Richardson had a career-high six steals in UT’s upset win over 15th-ranked Butler (12/14/14).

• The Vols held Kansas State without a field goal for a span of 11:27 during the first half of UT’s win over the Wildcats (12/6/14).

• UT also forced 22 turnovers against K-State while logging 12 steals and nine blocks. Armani Moore had five of those blocks, marking a career-high.

• Tennessee forced 15th-ranked VCU to commit 18 turnovers when the teams met to open the season at The Veterans Classic at the U.S. Naval Academy (11/14/14).

• SEC All-Defensive Team member Josh Richardson blocked three shots in the opener vs. VCU. • Three Vols logged multiple steals in UT’s homeopening win over Texas Southern (11/20/14).

• Freshman forward Jabari McGhee has a team-leading four drawn charges this season.

• Junior Armani Moore is Tennessee’s active leader in charges drawn, with 11 in his career. He has drawn three this year.

• As a team, the Vols have taken 10 charges this season.

10:04 SCORELESS! During Tennessee’s 64-57 victory over Santa Clara in the opening round of the 2014 Orlando Classic at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports, the Volunteers held the Broncos scoreless for a span 10:04.

The drought spanned the final 27 seconds of the first half and the first 9:37 of the second half. During that stretch, Santa Clara went 0-for-8 from the floor and committed three turnovers.

RICHARDSON KNOWN FOR DEFENSE • Given the emphasis that coach Donnie Tyndall places on defense, it’s fitting that Tennessee’s best player and team co-captain, senior Josh Richardson, has built a reputation as an elite defender.

• Richardson made the 2014 SEC All-Defensive Team as a junior.

• Richardson is 12 blocks shy of breaking into UT’s alltime top-10 list for career blocks. He needs 90 to tie for 10th, and he currently has 78.

• He has a pair of three-block games this season, and in UT’s win over 15th-ranked Butler (12/14/14), he logged a career-high six steals (one shy of the school record).

• Richardson also has three games this season in which he’s nabbed at least three steals (UT is 3-0 in those contests).

“QUOTABLE”

Gary Parrish, CBSsports.com “Josh Richardson got a lot of attention last March based on him averaging 19 points per game in the NCAA Tournament while UT made the Sweet Sixteen. But his best attribute, the one that might give him a chance to play in the NBA, is his ability to guard on the perimeter. He’s 6-foot-6 and active with long arms. Just a terrific piece for Donnie Tyndall to inherit.”

UPCOMING SCHEDULING NOTES • With the launch of the SEC Network, the scheduling of midweek games has been adjusted. In addition to the traditional Tuesday night games on ESPN and ESPNU, there will also be two Tuesday games on the SEC Network. Wednesdays will feature two contests on the SEC Network, while Thursdays will highlight one game on either ESPN or ESPN2.

• And after not playing in Knoxville last season for the first time since 1953, Kentucky returns to Rocky Top Feb. 17 for an ESPN “Super Tuesday” matchup. The Vols do not play at Rupp Arena this season, marking UT’s first hoops campaign without a trip to Lexington, Ky., since 1953.

• Texas A&M handed the Big Orange a pair of heartbreaking, buzzer-beater losses last season. That series resumes Jan. 24 in Knoxville when the Aggies visit Thompson-Boling Arena.

• Former UT coach Bruce Pearl (2005-11) returns to Thompson-Boling Arena as Auburn’s coach Jan. 31.

• For the first time since 1964, Georgia does not visit Knoxville. The Bulldogs host Tennessee Feb. 7.

FASTER

STRONGER HARD WORK BEATS TALENT WHEN TALENT FAILS TO WORK HARD. Strength & Conditioing Notes

The Vols spent their summer working intensely with first-year strength and conditioning coach Todd Moyer, who tracked each player’s development throughout the summer.

Junior forward Armani Moore finished the summer owning “team bests” in both the 185-pound bench press (17 reps) and bodyweight chin-ups (18 reps).

ROSTER BREAKDOWN

“QUOTABLE”

Donnie Tyndall, Head Coach “(Armani Moore) is an energy guy. He gets deflections that lead to steals. He comes over and blocks shots on the weak side. He is just a complete guy.

I wish he was 6-8 instead of 6-4.”

TYNDALL, MOORE FINALLY TOGETHER • Junior forward Armani Moore signed with Tennessee in April 2012. But during his recruitment, he gave serious consideration to several schools.

• One of the other programs recruiting Moore during his high school days was Morehead State and head coach Donnie Tyndall.

• When Tyndall took the Tennessee job in April 2014, one returning Vol—Moore—was already familiar with Tyndall and assured his UT teammates that the Big Orange landed both a good man and a good coach.

• The Vols’ 2014-15 roster features 14 players (12 scholarship student-athletes) representing eight states.

• There are four Vols who hail from the state of Tennessee, three from Georgia, and a pair of players from Florida. Alabama, Kentucky, Maryland, New York and Oklahoma also are represented.

• Tennessee has three seniors, five juniors, one sophomore and five freshmen.

• Eight Vols stand 6-5 or shorter, and six players are 6-6 or taller.

True freshman forward Willie Carmichael III showed the team’s biggest improvement in the bench press, increasing his max reps by 10 through the course of summer workouts. Carmichael also added a team-best 11.6 pounds of muscle over June and July.

True freshman guard Detrick Mostella posted the team’s highest “standing” vertical jump, leaping 33 inches.

TYNDALL’S TEAM POST SOLID RPIs • In his two seasons at Southern Miss, first-year UT head coach Donnie Tyndall’s teams turned in yearend RPIs of No. 27 in 2013 and No. 29 in 2014.

• In his last six seasons as a head coach, Tyndall’s teams have an average year-end RPI of 87.5. And that’s while competing in “mid-major” leagues such as the Ohio Valley Conference and Conference USA. • Tennessee’s average year-end RPI the last six years 2014-15 Tennessee Basketball has been 45.5.

The top “max” vertical jump went to fellow freshman Jabari McGhee, who rose 40.5 inches.

That marked a two-inch personal improvement from the beginning of summer workouts.

“QUOTABLE”

Sean Farnham, ESPN/SEC Network “I think (Josh Richardson’s) mid-range game is as good as anybody’s in college basketball. When he gets to that (SEC) logo in the center of the paint and elevates up, he’s almost automatic... (Richardson also) is one of the best on-ball defensive players—not just in the SEC—but maybe in all of college basketball. He really understands how to use his length and how to gap up quicker, smaller guards to keep them at bay.”

UT HAS BEATEN SEVERAL NBA STARS

“THE MANIMAL” IS A TYNDALL PUPIL

• Over the last eight years, several of the NBA’s elite stars who didn’t experience many losses during their college days have tasted defeat at the hands of the Volunteers.

• Kenneth Faried, one of the NBA’s biggest young stars, was recruited and coached by Donnie Tyndall at Morehead State.

• This past summer, Faried—known as “The Manimal”—led the U.S. National Team to gold at the FIBA World Cup. • The Denver Nuggets signed Faried to a five-year, $60 million contract extension in October.

• Faried’s impressive development under Tyndall shined most during the 2010-11 campaign, as he won his second consecutive OVC Player of the Year award, earned consensus All-American status and broke Tim Duncan’s career NCAA rebounding record before being selected 22nd overall by Denver in the 2011 NBA Draft.

Hoops a Priority on Rocky Top The University of Tennessee has invested more than $40 million into its basketball facilities since the end of the 2006-07 campaign.

Prior to the 2007-08 season, UT added a basketball-only practice facility and began the first phase of renovations to Thompson-Boling Arena.

The $19 million first phase of renovations included the addition of 32 luxury suites that are located in the existing north balcony, a loge area just below the luxury suites that includes 166 side court seats, new seats for the entire arena, a $3 million center-hung scoreboard and concourse refurbishments, such as graphics and other amenities.

The Vols’ state-of-the-art basketball practice facility, Pratt Pavilion, houses two full-size gymnasiums, one for each of the men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as an athletic training room, weight room and film-study room.

The athletic department renovated the men’s and women’s basketball offices at the arena during the 2010-11 campaign, creating a new and impressive “front door” for the basketball programs.

New to Thompson-Boling Arena last year was the 360-degree LED ribbon board that runs along the bottom of the upper deck.

And in March of 2014, TBA became the third college arena to install an LED lighting system (joining Arizona State and Notre Dame).

“QUOTABLE”

Tobias Harris, Orlando Magic forward “Coach Tyndall is the perfect guy for Tennessee basketball. His energy and passion to help the young men in orange on and off the court is what impresses me the most. He wants the best out of everyone around him, which is great to see.”

TYNDALL FOSTERS FAMILY VIBE

• Earlier this fall, every player on the Tennessee roster was presented with a custom, personalized “dog tag” necklace that is incribed on one side with the phrase “Tennessee Basketball #Family,” along with the player’s name and jersey number. The opposite side is inscribed with one of Tyndall’s favorite acronyms—Humble Appreciative Thankful (HAT).

DONNIE, NIKKI ESTABLISH TYNDALL #FAMILY FOUNDATION • Shortly after settling in as Tennessee’s new head coach, Donnie Tyndall, his wife, Nikki, and his daughters, Taylor and Grace, formed The Tyndall #Family Foundation, a pending 501(c)(3) public charity that facilitates the family’s involvement in philanthropic causes throughout Tennessee.

• In addition to raising funds to give to nonprofit organizations, The Tyndall #Family Foundation strives to raise the public’s level of awareness regarding philanthropy.

DONNIE TYNDALL Head Coach, First Season at Tennessee

“I’m a guy that’s up for the challenge.

Everywhere I’ve been, we have been the underdog or overlooked in some way, shape or form. I’ll embrace that, and I hope our players will embrace that. You can ‘talk about it’ or you can ‘be about it.’

And you ‘be about it’ by doing the right things on the practice floor every day.” #DonnieKnoxville AS A PLAYER

• Graduated from Northview High School in Grand Rapids, Mich., and played one season of junior-college basketball in Fort Dodge, Iowa, before transferring to Morehead State to join its basketball program from 1990-93.

AS A COACH

• His first job in the SEC came as an assistant at LSU under John Brady (1997-01). At 25-years-old when he took that job, Tyndall was the league’s youngest assistant coach.

• As a head coach, Tyndall has led his teams to one regular-season conference title (2014 Conference USA Championship) and a pair of conference tournament crowns (2009 & 2011 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament Championships).

• 2013 NABC District 11 Coach of the Year, 2011 NABC District 19 Coach of the Year, 2008 Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year • Recruited, signed and coached Kenneth Faried, who is the NCAA’s career rebounding leader, a 2011 firstround NBA Draft pick and a 2014 FIBA World Cup gold medalist.

OFF THE COURT

• Tennessee opened the 2014-15 season with an 85-69 defeat at the hands of 15th-ranked VCU Nov. 14 in the Veterans Classic at the U.S. Naval Academy.

• The game marked the regular-season debut for Donnie Tyndall as the Vols’ head coach.

• Down by as many as 20, Tennessee cut its deficit to eight points on several occasions late in the second half, but couldn’t get any closer.

• VCU’s full-court pressure forced the Vols into 19 turnovers, which the Rams converted into 26 points.

• Tennessee’s Robert Hubbs III, Kevin Punter and Derek Reese made their first career starts. Despite fouling out, Punter finished with eight points, five rebounds and a gamehigh seven assists.

• Vols freshman forward Jabari McGhee grabbed five offensive rebounds.

• The game featured 62 total fouls (34 by UT).

• Guard Melvin Johnson led the Rams with 23 points, but the Vols held preseason AllAmerican Treveon Graham to 3-of-13 shooting (eight of Graham’s 15 points came at the foul line).

• Tennessee suffered a 67-59 loss to Marquette in the third-place game of the Orlando Classic at HP Field House Sunday.

• The Vols were led by Armani Moore, who had the first double-double of his career with 18 points and a career-high 13 rebounds. He was the Vols’ only scorer or rebounder in double-figures.

• Down eight early in the second half, the Vols rallied to within one at 44-43 on Detrick Mostella’s first bucket of the game—a 3-pointer with 10:35 remaining. Duane Wilson then answered for Marquette with consecutive 3-pointers to return the Golden Eagles’ lead to seven, 50-43 with nine minutes left.

• Marquette redshirt freshmen Wilson topped the Golden Eagles’ scoring chart with a career-high 30 points as he connected on 5-of-9 from 3-point range.
