STORYLINES
• Just 181 miles separate UT's Thompson-Boling Arena and Vanderbilt's Memorial Gymnasium.
• Vols freshman Josiah-Jordan James and injured Vanderbilt guard Aaron Nesmith were AAU and high school varsity teammates for four years at Porter-Gaud School in their hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.
• After being inactive for the first 15 games of the season, redshirt freshman forward Uroš Plavšic was granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA on Jan. 14. He scored five points off the bench in his debut Wednesday at Georgia.
• Josiah-Jordan James (.579) and Santiago Vescovi (.500) rank second and fourth, respectively, in the SEC in 3-point percentage during league play. That duo's 3-point makes account for 26 percent of Tennessee's total scoring during SEC play

LAYUP LINES
• Tennessee's 9.0 3-point makes per game during SEC play lead the league. Through four conference games, 42.9 percent of UT's total scoring comes from beyond the arc.
• Junior forward Yves Pons has blocked at least one shot in every game this season and ranks second in the SEC and 25th nationally with 2.6 bpg.
• Pons is tied as the SEC leader with 3.3 bpg during league play.
• Tennessee ranks second in the SEC and 19th nationally in scoring defense, allowing only 60.6 ppg.
• Junior John Fulkerson is shooting a team-best .663 from the field while averaging a career-best 11.1 points per game this season.
• Fifth-year senior and preseason All-SEC guard Lamonté Turner announced on Dec. 21 that he will no longer suit up for the Vols due to thoracic outlet syndrome. The Vols are 2-3 without him.

ABOUT VANDERBILT
• Vanderbilt is coming off its third consecutive loss to begin SEC play, as the Commodores lost to Arkansas, 75-55, Wednesday night in Fayetteville.
• First-year head coach Jerry Stackhouse looks to lead the Commodores back to their winning ways in 2019-20 after Vanderbilt finished winless in conference action last year. The 2017 NBA G-League coach of the year brings a host of experience and past NBA playing success to Nashville.
• The Commodores are without the SEC's leading scorer, Aaron Nesmith, for the remainder of the season. Before getting hurt, Nesmith was averaging 23.0 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.
• In Nesmith's absence, roles have increased for junior guard Saben Lee and freshman forward Dylan Disu.
• Lee has already been a force for the Commodores. Primarily coming off the bench, he ranks second on the team in scoring (15.8 ppg) and first in assists (5.1 apg) and steals (1.4 spg). Lee also ranks 10th in the SEC in scoring during league play, averaging 16.0 ppg during VU's three SEC contests.
• Disu has been huge on the glass and the defensive side of the floor, averaging a team-best 5.7 rpg while leading Vandy in blocks (1.0 bpg) and ranking second in steals (1.1 spg).
• Vanderbilt is a private research university, founded in 1873. The school is named in honor of New York shipping and rail magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, who provided the university with its initial $1 million dollar endowment. Vanderbilt believed his gift and the greater work of the university would help to heal the sectional wounds inflicted by the Civil War.

Today our new normal with both Plavsic and Vescovi playing starts to really gel with the other guys and we handle our business.

UT 72, Vandy 53

I would learn more about this team and this season if--rather than watching the game--I could just listen to the coaching staff live-miked.

It will be interesting watching Scottie Pippen Junior play for Vanderbilt.

His dad was the glue of the Chicago Bulls championship squads that included John Paxson and Michael Jordan.

Go Big Orange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing as how vandy was o'fer last year and 0-3 currently....they'll be clawing to win their first SEC game in at least the last 21 (could be more).

The pressure is on us to not let the commodes back in the win column.
