• The Vols are rated No. 13 in the NCAA RPI and own nine wins (five away from home) over teams in the top 100.

• This is the first season since 2006-07 that the Vols' roster has not included at least one player from the state of Georgia.

• Per KenPom, Tennessee rates eighth nationally in defensive efficiency.

• Snap Georgia's four-game win streak in the series, which matches its longest since 1996-97.

• Give Tennessee its 25th 20-win season and its first since 2013-14, when the Vols finished with 24 victories and advanced to their seventh Sweet Sixteen.

• Give Tennessee 20 regular-season victories for the first time since 2009-10 (23).

• Mark Fox and the Bulldogs (14-11, 5-8 SEC) have been unable to string together a consistent run since starting SEC play. The team's longest win streak in conference play is two games, taking place in early January. UGA currently sits at No. 69 in the NCAA's latest RPI ratings.

• In its non-conference slate, Georgia picked up wins over Georgia Tech, Marquette, Saint Mary's and Temple. In SEC play, UGA boasts wins over Alabama and a season sweep over Florida, proving they can beat the league's best teams on any given night.

• SEC Player of the Year candidate Yante Maten leads the Bulldogs in scoring (19.5 ppg), rebounding (8.7 rpg) and blocked shots (32), while ranking second in assists (42) and steals (13). The senior forward is the SEC's active career scoring leader, rebounder and shot blocker.

• On the season, Maten is the league's leading scorer and ranks third in rebounds per game. He's posted nine double-doubles this year and can score from anywhere on the floor. He has a knack for getting to the free-throw line, where he's shooting an impressive 84 percent (147-of-175).

• Entering Saturday's matchup, the Bulldogs are coming off their first win in Gainesville since 2002, downing the Gators in overtime, 72-69. Facing a 6-point deficit, Maten drained two threes in the final 16 seconds of play to tie the game. He would finish with 23 points and 10 boards in the victory.

I had hoped Ga would have quit on the season by now but the win at Florida rejuvenated them I am afraid. They will see this as a chance to re enter the NCAA tourney talk.

The way we're playing lately, I'm expecting a loss but hoping we overcome the usual end of season meltdown in the last 5.

Need to have that chip on the shoulder and play with more aggressiveness than the last couple of games. They’ve played better on the road than at TBA at times this year, so hopefully today is another example. Go Vols!!

Get back to the basics Vols. Yes the gaurd play has improved and I love watching y’all make it rain 3s, but let’s be aggressive and attack the paint. Feed the horse and play tight D for 40.

Attack maten, and get him in foul trouble. Force them to double Williams, and rotate accordingly for the wide open triple for Bowden, Turner, or Daniel.

And also, for the love of god, tell Alexander not to foul after the rebound. So many times the other team gets a defensive rebound , and Alexander swipes for the ball and draws a foul.

Just recognize what they are doing early and adjust. If they try to cancel out Williams, let Turner and Bowden shoot a few. Schofield, Alexander, and Williams gotta stay out of foul trouble and need a guard to stay hot.
