[YankeeVol]

Tennessee's first four opponents included two AP top-15 teams.

Tennessee ranks second in the nation in fouls per game (26.8) and is 20th nationally in offensive rebounds per game (15.3).

Despite its inexperienced lineup, Tennessee owns a +2.8 turnover margin this season.

Tennessee players have fouled out six times through four games. The school record for player disqualifications in a season is 24 (1962, 1977, 1978).

 

[YankeeVol]

Raise the Vols above .500 on the season and ensure the team takes a winning record into the month of December.

Make Tennessee 28-22 all-time against current members of the Big East Conference.

Make the Vols 4-2 all-time at this event; Tennessee posted a 2-1 record at the 2008 Old Spice Classic.

A win today would signify a successful tourney for this young team. I mean no-one expected us to win (few even expected us to be competitive against Kansas), and it was a battle until the last few minutes. So let's snag 3rd place, build of this tourney and surprise some folks as we progress throughout the season. GO VOLS !

 

[RibFeast]

Ty for info as always, GO VOLS

 

[YankeeVol]

[bleedingTNorange]

Huge game, 2 wins in Orlando would definitely be a successful trip, Carlino scares me the way we've allowed guys to go off from 3.

 

[JohnMcA60]

We will have a height advantage based on starting lineups. They have 3 6'2" guys and two 6'7 and 6'8 guys. All our starters are above 6'4
(This is if the same starting lineups hold true)

 

[myrobbins7]

UT by 5.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

As long as they keep carlino contained we could win this easy,prediction ut 76 mq 60

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Looking at Marquette message boards they don't seem worried,they did mention j rich is gonna be a nightmare for their guards, and for some reason they HATE US lol

[TennesseeFan07]

Marquette has played poorly for the first month of the season. Today is an opportunity for this team to salvage something of the trip to Orlando.

 

[Dallasbowlin]
