GAME NOTES:
The Vols are seeking their first true road win of the season.
Tennessee owns a 4-11 record against the top-ranked team in the AP poll, and the Vols have won
each of their last two meetings against the nations No. 1 team (at Memphis in 2008, Kansas in 2010).
UT is 4-2 in its last six games against the APs top-ranked team.
This is the 10th time that Tennessee will face a Kentucky squad that occupies the top spot in the
national AP poll. The Vols lone win in the nine previous games was a 69-62 triumph on March 5, 1966.
This is the first season since the 1933-34 campaign that Tennessee will play both of its games
against Kentucky during the month of January.
Cuonzo Martin and Darius Miller were a part of the USA Basketball squad that competed at the
World University Games in Shenzen, China, last summer. See Familiar Faces note on Page 7.
Freshman power forward Jarnell Stokes was last weeks SEC Freshman of the Week after averaging
13.5 points and 10.0 rebounds in games against Georgia and defending national champion UConn.
Just five games into his college career, Stokes already averages close to a double-double with 10.6
points and a team-high 8.0 rebounds per game. He has started each of the last three games.
Tennessees home victory over Auburn Saturday was UTs 1,500th all-time win.
The Vols have held three elite teams to their lowest scoring output of the season. Tennessee held
Florida to 56 points, Kentucky to 65 points and UConn to 57 points. In their last six games, the Vols are
holding their opponents to an average of 58.7 points (four of those opponents were ranked).
Cuonzo Martin, in just his fourth season as a college head coach, has defeated two coaches this
month who combine to boast five national championships. Connecticuts Jim Calhoun has three
NCAA titles, and Floridas Billy Donovan has won two.
Tennessee currently ranks fifth nationally in average home attendance (17,211). The Vols are
riding a streak of five consecutive seasons with a national top-five finish in attendance.
