STORYLINES

Two of Tennessee's three losses this season have come in overtime. And all three losses were away from home against top-15 opponents.

For the second year in a row, the Vols are assured of finishing the season with single-digit losses.

In SEC games, Tennessee averages a league-best 10.7 turnovers per game.

The Vols averaged 20.0 assists per game through its first 24 contests. But over its last three games, Tennessee has averaged just 11.3.

Bob Cousy Award candidate Jordan Bone is four assists shy of tying for fifth place on Tennessee's all-time list for assists in a season. He has a career-best 169 through 27 games (6.3 apg).

Admiral Schofield is coming off his third 20-point performance in SEC play this season. Among active SEC players, he ranks fifth in career rebounds (651) and sixth in career scoring (1,417).

ABOUT OLE MISS

Ole Miss (19-8, 9-5) has its eyes set on an NCAA Tournament berth in head coach Kermit Davis's first season at the helm.

Early on in conference play, the Rebels were one of the hottest teams in the country, winning 10 straight games and cracking the top-25. The streak was capped off by back-to-back wins over then-No. 10 Auburn and then-No. 14 Mississippi State. However, the squad has since split its last 12 games.

Junior guard Breein Tyree (18.4 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 2.7 apg) ranks third in the SEC in scoring for the season. He is joined by senior guard Terence Davis (15.6 ppg) to make up the second-highest scoring duo in the league, behind UT's Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield. Davis also leads the team in rebounding (5.9 rpg) and assists (3.4 apg) while ranking second in blocks (0.6 bpg) and steals (1.7 spg)

Sophomore guard Devontae Shuler (9.8 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 3.1 apg, 1.8 spg) rounds out the dangerous backcourt for the Rebels.

Vols by 8. I think Bone has a big night. I hope we’ve worked on dealing w Grant double teams because we’re going to keep seeing it, esp tonight.

Is the end of our sec schedule shaping up like it did last season? The last three games are similar... got clawhammered on the road (last year at Bama this year at UK) then came home and won kind of ugly, then went on the road and lost a close game. Same as this year. Last year we then closed out w a 4 game win streak. Maybe that pattern will continue to repeat itself this year

Cannot let Tyree and Davis get hot from 3 tonight. We struggle defending the 3 and those two can really shoot it.

Tyree 40%
Davis 38%

Also, once again we play what will be a tough game, on the road, with late return home, just what amounts to two days. This before Ky. who comes in after a less than tough home game on tuesday night and having to travel "across town". Great setup for the Cats.

Davis also rebounds well for his position. I assume Admiral will be guarding him. Will be an interesting matchup

Less than tough game? Did you see it? KY needed help from the refs in the final minutes to get the win.

I’m not sure who wants it more at this point. Our players fighting complacency. Ole miss players fighting for NCAA bid

Ole miss is not in a lot of danger to miss the tournament. Losing to Tennessee certainly wouldn’t be much of a blow to their chances either
