With 22.9 ppg, Kevin Punter Jr. is the nation’s eighth-leading scorer and the Capital One Impact Performer of the Week.

The Vols rank 34th nationally in free-throw percentage (.742). In SEC play, that percentage increases to a league-best .821.

Saturday’s contest is TCU’s seventh men’s basketball game in Schollmaier Arena, which opened Dec. 20. The Horned Frogs are 3-3 in the new facility.

 

[YankeeVol]

Give the Vols an 8-5 record in non-conference play this season.

Give Tennessee a 12-16 all-time record against current mem- bers of the Big 12 Conference.

Give the Vols their second victory away from Knoxville this season. Tennessee previously won at Mississippi State Jan. 16.

Make the Vols 3-2 in their last ve games in the state of Texas, dating to Dec. 17, 2005.

Haven't looked yet: do they have any good wins/bad losses (besides having a bunch)?

Except that it's on the road.

 

[DocVOLiday]

I'm surprised we're favored

 

[calban]

A win would make 16 much more obtainable.

 

[sport3500]

The keys to victory will be winning the turnover battle while Hubbs and Moore need to be in double figures in points to take pressure off Punter. This is a winnable game.

 

[BruinVol]

Yep. Any shot to get to 16 includes a win today IMO.

Vols 75
TCU 68

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

I don't know why but I really hate TCU. I hope we smoke them big time.

 

[508mikey]

Would love to see KP drop 40+ on ESPN 2 for a Vols win

 

[RollerVol]

To me we've had several winnable games. Just a hard time finishing. Hopefully, we can play a complete game today and finish strong...be nice to see Kevin drop another 36 on the Horny Frogs...:clapping:

GO VOLS!

 

[cwbytruckers]

Sucked at home vs Vandy.

Looked good at home vs South Carolina.

Looked awful at Alabama.

Should play well today.

There seems to be a trend with this team. Up. Down. Up. Down.

 

[SlyStone]

How did this game end up on the schedule?

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

How did this game end up on the schedule?

Sec/big12 weekend.. 10 games

 

[Special Ed]

TCU being 9-11 and 1-7 in-conference gives the Vols a golden opportunity to pull out the rare road W.
Therefore, I'm expecting another big, fat L.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Go SEC!

 

[Mr_Henley]

TN will need a good second half. Hopefully there will be "gas in the tank" in the final 5-7 minutes.

 

[YankeeVol]

Should be an easy win honestly

Should be an easy win honestly

Is there such a thing as an easy road win for this team?

 

[YankeeVol]

Is there such a thing as an easy road win for this team?

Well no. But I'm trying to be optimistic.

 

[YankeeVol]

I try to be all positive and Freak has to rain on my parade.

 

[YankeeVol]

I'm just glad the game before ours ended on time
