This is the third of four games Tennessee will play in a nine-day span.

UT's opponents have made 9.7 3-pointers per game over the last three games (29.1 ppg).

The Volunteers boast a +8.0 turnover margin over their last three games.

Despite its youth and inexperience, Tennessee ranks tied for 19th nationally with just 10.8 turnovers per game.

Starting guards Josh Richardson and Kevin Punter have scored 46 percent of UT's points over the last three games (31.0 ppg combined).

Richardson, the reigning SEC Player of the Week, ranks fourth in the SEC in scoring (16.6 ppg), fifth in steals (1.9 spg) and third in minutes played (34.9 mpg).

Willie Carmichael III has made seven straight starts for UT.

 

[YankeeVol]

Preserve the Vols' unblemished home record this season.

Make Tennessee 53-2 all-time against current members of the Ohio Valley Conference.

Give Donnie Tyndall an 80-43 head coaching record against OVC teams, including a 12-3 record vs. Tennessee Tech.

Make Tyndall 29-16 as a Division I head coach against teams from the state of Tennessee.

The rest of our OOC is a must win if we have any tournament aspirations other than the NIT.

I'll be torn when the Vols play ETSU, but I agree. Go Vols .

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Should be an easy win. There will probably be a good chunk of ETSU fans in attendance. GO VOLS!

Why would ETSU fans be showing up to a TTU-TN game?

TTU alum here. Going to the game tonight ... My first this season. Last time I went TBA to watch my alma mater play the Vols I was a student and Tech went home with a win. Lorenzo Coleman (RIP) was a beast.

That was the only time in my life I rooted against the Vols. Never again.

 

[JohnMcA60]

Go Vols. Lets go win in a big way. Hoping this isnt a nail biting type game after a tough loss on wednesday.

Why would ETSU fans be showing up to a TTU-TN game?

I think he read my post and had ETSU on the brain. When ETSU does play UT, they'll be many Buc fans in attendance though
