“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.
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.
DID
YOU KNOW?
TENNESSEE STAFF HAS MANY MAGNOLIA STATE CONNECTIONS • First-year UT head coach Donnie Tyndall spent the previous two years as the coach at Southern Miss. • During his career as a head coach, Tyndall’s teams are 30-1 in games played in the state of Mississippi. • Tennessee assistant coach Al Pinkins spent the previous two years as an assistant on Andy Kennedy’s staff at Ole Miss. With Pinkins on staff, the Rebels were 3-2 against rival Mississippi State—but 0-2 in Starkville. • UT assistant coach Chris Shumate, director of operations Justin Phelps and strength coach Todd Moyer all served in the same roles on Tyndall’s staff at Southern Miss.
TYNDALL, RAY ARE SEC’S YOUNGEST • Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall and MSU coach Rick Ray are the youngest head basketball coaches in the SEC. • Born June 14, 1970, the 44-year-old Tyndall is 37 days younger than Ray.
MEMORABLE VOL PERFORMANCES AGAINST MISSISSIPPI STATE • Junior Dale Ellis grabbed a school-record seven steals as the Vols defeated the Bulldogs 54-44 at “The Hump” in Starkville on Jan. 20, 1982. • Bill Justus’s two game-winning free throws in the third overtime in Starkville on March 6, 1967, gave the Vols the outright SEC regular-season title. Justus scored 14 in the contest. • While Justus earned the credit for sealing the win in Starkville in 1967, the Vols would not have contended for the win without 35 points from Knoxville native Ron Widby, who went on to be a Pro Bowl punter for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. • Ernie Grunfeld scored 37 and Bernard King added 30 as the “Ernie & Bernie Show” rolled to a 97-87 win in Starkville. on Jan. 25, 1975.

That is the second-fewest in the SEC. • Taking into account only scholarship players, LSU has the least amount of Division I experience among SEC teams, with just seven. • Kentucky and Missouri each have 11 player-years of Division I experience.
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.

FRESHMEN PLAYING BIG ROLE
8.1-POINT SWING HALF TO HALF • Tennessee owns a -3.0 scoring margin in the first half this season (31.4 to 28.4), but in the second half of games, the Vols outscore their opponents 37.9 to 32.8 for a +5.1 margin.
SCORING CONTRIBUTIONS BY CLASS • Tennessee receives more than 45 percent of its scoring from its juniors this season. • Among all SEC players, only Auburn guard KT Harrell scores a higher percentage of his team’s total points than UT senior Josh Richardson. Harrell accounts for 25.8 percent of Auburn’s points, while Richardson scores 24.9 percent of Tennessee’s points. CLASS POINTS PER GAME % OF TEAM TOTAL Freshmen 13.8 ppg 20.4 Sophomores 5.8 ppg 8.7 Juniors 30.2 ppg 45.5 Seniors 16.7 ppg 25.1
• True freshmen Willie Carmichael III (18.1 mpg), Detrick Mostella (16.6 mpg) and Tariq Owens (7.0 mpg) all are playing significant roles for the Vols. • Tennessee has started multiple true freshmen in four games this season. • True freshmen are combining to average 48.5 minutes per game and have combined to make 15 starts. • Last season, Tennessee freshmen accounted for only 11 starts all year, and the Vols never started multiple freshmen in a single game.
RICHARDSON LOOKING TO JOIN 1,000-POINT CLUB • Senior guard Josh Richardson needs just 63 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 81 of Tennessee’s last 82 games spanning the past three seasons.
RICHARDSON AMONG SEC’s ELITE • 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 (937), fifth in blocks (79), fourth in steals (107) and eighth in assists (174).
RICHARDSON’S VERSATILITY HAS HIM ON TRACK TO JOIN TWO-MAN CLUB • Josh Richardson’s current production has him on track to join Vincent Yarbrough (1998-02) and Wayne Chism (2006-10) as the only players in program history to total 1,000 points, 150 assists, 100 steals and 100 blocks in their career. • Richardson is just 21 blocks shy of reaching that feat. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated the ability to affect every facet of the game.
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 (6.9 rpg, 7th in the SEC), offensive rebounding (2.4 orpg) and blocks (1.2 bpg). • Moore has set career-highs in every statistical category already this season.
HUBBS READY FOR SEC DEBUT • Tennessee sophomore Robert Hubbs III played in the Vols’ first 12 non-conference games last season before being shut down due to a shoulder injury. • Wednesday’s SEC opener at Mississippi State will mark Hubbs’ first career SEC action. • Playing the best basketball of his college career, Hubbs is averaging 7.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and has eight assists against only one turnover during UT’s current four-game win streak.

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 BURNING THE NETS • Junior Devon Baulkman is shooting a team-best .522 from 3-point range this season (12-of-23). • That percentage would lead the SEC if he had the minimum number of attempts per game to qualify for the league’s statistical rankings.
MICROWAVE MOSTELLA • Offensively, true freshman wing Detrick Mostella has displayed an ability to heat up quickly for UT. • Mostella is Tennessee’s top bench scorer (5.6 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 3.3 ppg at home.
CARMICHAEL’S MOTOR NEVER STOPS • True freshman forward Willie Carmichael III has earned a starting assignment for 11 of UT’s 12 games so far this season, and he averages 4.8 points and 3.2 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.
McGHEE OUT WITH FOOT INJURY • 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.
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 battled nagging injuries ever since enrolling at UT. It was announced Jan. 5 that his a right shoulder injury would require surgery and that his season was over.
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 IS... 5-0 when the Vols get to the free-throw line more than their opponent.
6-0 when the Vols hold their opponent to fewer than 60 points.
7-0 at Thompson-Boling Arena this season. 4-0 when leading at halftime. 8-0 when leading with 5:00 left in regulation. 5-0 when Josh Richardson has at least three steals. 5-0 when Willie Carmichael III makes at least three field goals.
4-0 when Willie Carmichael III has at least five rebounds.

“I’m the nicest guy in the world off the court. But when I get inside that 94, I’m not nice anymore.”
EACH MAN HAS FIVE TO GIVE • The Vols rank 33rd in the nation in fouls per game, with an average of 21.3. • Through 12 games, Tennessee has had 10 “player disqualifications” for fouling out. • The school record for DQs in a season is 24, which has happened three times (1962, 1977, 1978).

“I couldn’t always get to the rim. So I had no choice but to just pull up. I started really working on that, the 12- to 15-footers. That’s when I started the one-dribble pull-up, stop on a dime, things like that.”

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.” “QUOTABLE”
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).
QUICK DEFENSIVE NOTES • Tennessee has drawn 12 total charges this season. • UT also has forced six 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). • In limiting Mercer to 15 first-half points (11/22/14), the Vols had their best defensive half since leading Presbyterian, 43-13, on Dec. 18, 2012. Tennessee held the Bears to just .182 shooting as a team in the first half; Mercer did not make a field goal for the final 9:48 of the half. 54 12/22/14 in Knoxville

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 eight of its 11 games this season. • Tennessee’s +3.2 turnover margin ranks third in the SEC. • The Vols force opponents into 14.6 turnovers per game while committing only 11.3.
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 8.0 steals per game, which ranks tied for 49th nationally.
10:04 SCORELESS!
TAKING CHARGE
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.
• Junior forward Armani Moore and freshman forward Jabari McGhee share the team-lead for charges drawn this season with four apiece. • Moore is Tennessee’s active leader in charges drawn, with 12 in his career. • As a team, UT has taken 12 charges this season.
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 11 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 79. • 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 leads the Vols and ranks second in the SEC with 2.3 steals per game this season. • Richardson also has five games this season in which he’s nabbed at least three steals (UT is 5-0 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.

GREEN
ROSTER DONNIE TYNDALL’S FIRST TENNESSEE TEAM IS OVERACHIEVING.
Notes on UT’s Youth & Inexperience The Vols have nine healthy scholarship players and one eligible/healthy walk-on. True freshmen have combined to make 15 starts for this Tennessee team.
ROSTER BREAKDOWN
Five of Tennessee’s top eight contributors (in terms of minutes per game) have one season of Division I experience or less.
• The Vols’ 2014-15 roster features 14 players (11 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.
There are 200 available minutes to be played in a 40-minute game. Tennessee has seen true freshmen account for an average of 48.5 minutes per game. Entering SEC play, Josh Richardson was the only player on UT’s roster who had ever scored 10 or more points in an SEC game.
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 has been 45.5. Tennessee Basketball
Tennessee has a program-record eight newcomers on its roster this season. UT’s four returning lettermen tied Missouri and Texas A&M for fewest among SEC teams. Tennessee’s nine healthy scholarship players include three true freshmen and two juniorcollege transfers.

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.

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).

• Team’s second-leading scorer has fouled out of three games; 7-for-11 from 3-point range in last four games. • Scored 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting (4-for-4 from 3FG) in the home win over Tennessee State (12/27/14). • Totaled 14 points, four rebounds, one assist and no turnovers in 34 minutes at NC State (12/17/14). • Scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting as UT defeated 15th-ranked Butler (12/14/14). • Recorded 14 points vs. Kansas (11/28/14) on 6-of-9 shooting from the floor. • Has added 18 pounds of lean muscle mass since enrolling in June. • Developed his quick-stop, pull-up game out of necessity, as his slight frame made it difficult for him to get to the rim when he was growing up playing on the courts of New York City. • Coach Donnie Tyndall has consistently praised Punter’s “professional” work ethic and training habits. • Was a first-team junior college All-American last season, averaging 20.3 points per game. • Lives with teammates Devon Baulkman and Braxton Bonds. • Route to Tennessee: Salesian HS > State Fair CC (Mo.) • Majoring in Recreation/Sport Management

• 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. • The Vols came out on fire, scoring the game’s first nine points. But, Tennessee was outscored 67-50 over the final 37 minutes. Marquette led 35-30 at halftime. • 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.

The Vols improved to 4-0 at home on the year. • The Vols rallied from a halftime deficit to win for the third time in nine games. The contest was tight throughout, with 10 lead changes and seven ties. • Josh Richardson topped the Vols’ scoring chart for the eighth time in nine games with 19 points. Devon Baulkman scored a season-best 10 points for the second game in a row. • Down by six at halftime, Tennessee rallied to retake a lead with about nine minutes left. The game was within four points for more than 12 minutes until a Baulkman 3-point play put the Vols ahead 58-51 with 54.7 remaining. That was UT’s second 3-point play in less than a minute and proved to be the back-breaker for Tech. • Richardson scored six consecutive points to put the Vols up 50-46 with six minutes remaining. After TTU’s Josiah Moore scored to end the spurt, UT junior Kevin Punter hit a short jumper to put the Vols up 52-48 with 3:54 left. • The Vols held the Eagles scoreless for a span of 5:07 in the first half, but Tech closed the first half on a 9-0 run to lead 32-26 at halftime. • Tennessee Tech’s Dwan Jackson had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

• In a rematch of last year’s NCAA Tournament clash, Tennessee once again came out on top against Mercer. This time, the Vols rode their stout defense and sharp shooting from newcomer Devon Baulkman to a 64-54 win Dec. 22, 2014, at Thompson-Boling Arena. • Baulkman had his best game as a Vol, scoring 22 points while making 4-of-6 3-point shots. He also corralled six rebounds and had two steals and a key block in the second half.
