At 22.6 ppg, Kevin Punter Jr. is the nation’s ninth-leading scorer. He is averaging 23.5 ppg in SEC play this season.

In its six league games, UT has attempted 140 3-pointers. Only Auburn (157) and Texas A&M (144) have attempted more.

Tennessee had won 15 straight in this series until South Carolina’s 66-62 win in Knoxville last season.

 

[YankeeVol]

Improve Tennessee’s home record to 9-2 this season.

Give Tennessee its first win over a ranked opponent since Jan. 13, 2015, when it beat 19th- ranked Arkansas in Knoxville.

Give Rick Barnes his 94th head coaching victory over a team ranked in the AP Top-25 poll.

Give the Vols a 5-1 record when VFL Dane Bradshaw is the TV color analyst.

Error: last year in Knoxville has two different scores.

Edit:TN won 66-62 in Columbia in 2015 which would have been the final TN win in the streak. USC broke the streak 49-60 in Knoxville in the last meeting.

My 3rd time to say this in 3 different threads: Vols will win this game! Anyone willing to agree? Close doesn't count except in horseshoes and hand grenades.

GO VOLS! Get the win at home (probably with low number of fans due to weather)

Low numbers anyway due to overall play and results

Embarrassed Wednesday.

This will be one of those jaw dropping blow out wins where they throw it at the scoreboard and it goes in.
