THE SERIES

• Tennessee leads its all-time series with Vanderbilt, 126-75, dating to 1922.
• Tennessee has won 10 of the last 11 meetings in this series, including each of the last eight and five straight at Memorial Gym.
• No active Vol has ever lost a game at Vanderbilt's Memorial Gymnasium.
• Just 181 miles separate UT's Thompson-Boling Arena and Vanderbilt's Memorial Gymnasium.
• During the Barnes era, Tennessee has held Vanderbilt to an average of 67.8 points per game (881 points in 13 games).
• In Rick Barnes' first season as the head coach at Clemson (1994-95), his Tigers faced North Carolina—led by first-team All-American Jerry Stackhouse—three times. Stackhouse and the Tar Heels won all three meetings on their way to the Final Four.
• Three of the last five times the Vols traveled to Nashville, they returned home without playing.

• According to KenPom, the Vols rank fifth in the nation in adjusted defensive efficiency, allowing only 89.1 points per 100 possessions.
• The Vols are forcing an average of 18.6 turnovers per game during SEC play. The next-closest SEC team (LSU) forces 16.8 per game.

Winning this game would be huge. Wonky gym, good for recruiting. Stackhouse will be successful there. Do they still ban students?

Not feeling confident the Vols can win tonight, Vandy will be motivated to break the 5 game losing streak in Memorial to UT. They always play tough and the Vols have no leaders or identity.

• Three of the last five times the Vols traveled to Nashville, they returned home without playing.

The Memphis game last month, the SEC Tourney game the season before last....I'm blanking on the third one.

Vandy had to cancel a game due to COVID I believe in the 2020-21 season

Why do you think Stackhouse will be successful? He is 29-43 at Vandy. Never coached in college before Vandy. Not sure what you are basing that on other than some minor D league coaching success.
