The Vols were mired in foul trouble all night, as Josh Richardson tallied 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds after picking up three early fouls.

That was a big statistic in the game, they turned us over and turned those turnovers into points.

Justus scored 14 in the contest. • While Justus earned the credit for sealing the win in Starkville in 1967, the Vols would not have contended for the win without 35 points from Knoxville native Ron Widby, who went on to be a Pro Bowl punter for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys. • Ernie Grunfeld scored 37 and Bernard King added 30 as the “Ernie & Bernie Show” rolled to a 97-87 win in Starkville. on Jan. 25, 1975.

Tyndall is a Sneakerhead Donnie Tyndall has a vast personal collection of close to 500 pairs of sneakers. “I’ve always been a shoe fanatic,” Tyndall said. “I remember my mom and dad would give me a hundred dollars the week before school started and I had to make that work for my clothes. So usually it was three pairs of jeans and three shirts. But one year, they gave me a hundred bucks and the brand-new Jordans came out like the day before and I spent all hundred bucks on those.” DT Likes Gators?! Ever since he was a kid, Donnie Tyndall has been fascinated by alligators. He particularly enjoyed watching TV shows about gators. When he was the head coach at Southern Miss, his family surprised him with an actual pet alligator. The gator’s name: Alley-oop. Tyndall eventually had to say goodbye to Alley-oop. The only gator folks in Knoxville approve of is fried gator! UT Roster Boasts Potential Olympian If Puerto Rico qualifies for the 2016 Olympics, Vols junior Derek Reese may be boarding a flight to Rio. Reese, whose grandparents, Anselmo and Irma Montañez, were born in Puerto Rico, is active in that country’s national program. He played for Puerto Rico’s Men’s National “B” Team at the 2013 FIBA Stankovic Continental Champions Cup in China. Michiganders Abound at Tennessee Each of Tennessee’s “big three” athletic programs prominently feature a Michigan native on the coaching staff. Donnie Tyndall is a native of Grand Rapids. Head football coach Butch Jones hails from Saugatuck. And longtime assistant women’s basketball coach Dean Lockwood is from Bay City. WLA (we like acronyms) VFL = Vol For Life; GBO = Go Big Orange; HAT = Humble Appreciative Thankful 2014-15 TENNESSEE BASKETBALL | UTSPORTS.COM | @VOL_HOOPS TENNESSEE BASKETBALL VOLS WERE DOWN TO NINE MEN, AND HERE’S HOW IT HAPPENED “QUOTABLE” Donnie Tyndall, Jan. 19 “The reason we are at where we’re at is because we’re a gritty, grimy team that is coachable and tough and has found a way to have great chemistry and play together. If any of that changes, we’ll start failing very, very quickly.” TENNESSEE TRENDS AT TBA TENNESSEE FOULING MUCH LESS • With a 9-2 record at Thompson-Boling Arena, the Vols boast a +5.3 scoring margin and a +3.8 turnover margin on Rocky Top. • Of Josh Richardson’s team-high 41 steals this season, 31 have come at home (.756). • Richardson is shooting better than 50 percent from the field at home (.504 at TBA vs. .339 in road/neutral site games). • Junior Armani Moore has 24 blocks this season and 19 of them have come at home (.792). • At home, junior Kevin Punter shoots .500 from 3-point range (19-of-38). On the road/neutral site, that percentage dips to .308 (8-for-26). • As of Jan. 9 (through 13 games), Tennessee was committing 22.1 fouls per game. That ranked 12th in the country. • But in UT’s last six games, they have averaged only 15.8 fouls per game. VOLS MUCH IMPROVED AT FOUL LINE • Over the last five games, Tennessee is shooting 80 percent at the free-throw line (75-of-94, .798). • Prior to that, the Vols were shooting .656 from the foul line. And overall this season, UT’s free-throw percentage stands at .691. • In UT’s eight SEC games, the team is shooting .745, which ranks third in the league. • Over the last five games, no Vol is shooting worse than 65 percent at the charity stripe. NO “BAD LOSSES” • The seven teams that have defeated Tennessee this season combine to boast an average RPI of 44.9. • In terms of RPI, the “worst” loss on UT’s resume is a neutral-site setback to Marquette (No. 139) way back in November. • RPI of the other teams that have beaten the Vols: Kansas = 1; VCU = 9; Arkansas = 24; Texas A&M = 32; NC State = 50; Alabama = 59. TENNESSEE HAS TWO TOP-20 WINS • The Vols have beaten a pair of teams that were ranked in the top 20 of the Associated Press poll at tipoff. Tennessee upset 15th-ranked Butler 67-55 on Dec. 14, and the Vols beat 19th-ranked Arkansas 74-69 Tuesday. • The Vols have faced four total teams who were in the AP top 25 at tipoff time. • Three of UT’s non-conference opponents currently occupy first or second place in their respective conference standings (VCU, Kansas, Texas Southern). • Tennessee entered SEC play with just nine healthy scholarship players after starting the season with 12. • Sophomore big man Dominic Woodson transferred out at the semester break after appearing in four games. • Freshman forward Jabari McGhee fractured a bone in his foot Dec. 17 at NC State (out 6-8 weeks). • On Jan. 5, it was announced that graduate transfer point guard Ian Chiles’ season was over due to a nagging right shoulder injury that required surgery. • On Jan. 9, head coach Donnie Tyndall surprised the team by placing Galen Campbell, a fourth-year walk-on guard from Knoxville, on scholarship for the 2015 spring semester. That brought UT’s total number of healthy scholarship players back up to 10. TENNESSEE ONE OF SEC’s LEAST EXPERIENCED TEAMS • The 10 healthy scholarship players on Tennessee’s roster combine to account for 11 previous seasons of Division I playing experience. That is tied for second-fewest in the SEC. • Taking into account only scholarship players, LSU has the least amount of Division I experience among SEC teams, with just seven. • Kentucky and Missouri also each have 11 player-years of Division I experience.

PG COMPARISON: J-RICH vs. WATSON • Regarded as the last “true point guard” to play for Tennessee, C.J. Watson is now in his eighth NBA season. A comparison of Watson’s stats as a senior in 2005-06 and current Vols point guard Josh Richardson’s senior stats reveals how well Richardson has adapted to his new role. *WATSON 15.3 .467 .422 3.9 3.1 2.0 1.86 *Watson was a 2006 second-team All-SEC selection (AP, Coaches) HALFTIME LEAD BODES WELL • During his nine-year career as a Division I head coach, Donnie Tyndall’s teams are 143-20 (.877) when leading at halftime. • Tennessee is 9-1 this season when leading at halftime.

And we just tweaked some things. Even (after Kenneth Faried left Morehead State), I liked it so much we stayed with it.” “QUOTABLE” Jay Bilas, ESPN “If I were coaching in college now, I would give an awful lot of consideration to playing a zone as a primary defense. I really do think (teams have to) spend so much time preparing for (that zone), that you might not be as proficient in doing what you do. Teams like Syracuse and Louisville, they can really take teams out of what they do and force them to play your way. You’re making a team play in a manner they don’t usually play or want to play.

The future NBA All-Star was such a force in the paint in the OVC that opponents went to great lengths to lure him out of the paint. • One common tactic saw opposing teams simply take their center and use him to set ball-screens out front, effectively sacrificing their own big man to try and neutralize Faried. • Said Tyndall: “What teams we’re doing to Kenneth Faried was the biggest impetus for me moving to the matchup zone. He was constantly getting dragged out 25 feet from the rim, hedging ball screens, and good coaches were telling their five men to do that, to drag him out there and try to wear him down or get him to pick up a cheap foul.” • “So protecting Kenneth was the main reason for going in that direction initially, but it’s just continued to evolve over the years as we’ve changed things and tweaked different things inside the scheme. We’ve changed some rules about how we’ve guarded certain actions after seeing some things we didn’t respond well to.” FAST BREAK In the semifinals of the Orlando Classic, Tennessee forced 11th-ranked Kansas to make 11 second-half turnovers (16 total). “QUOTABLE” Drew Kelly, former player “The general principles aren’t difficult to learn, because it’s just like man. Where it’s different is that your help is all based on zone principles with rules and scripts for every kind of situation.” WINNING THE TURNOVER BATTLE • UT has forced more turnovers than it has committed in 12 of its 19 games this season. • UT’s +1.8 turnover margin (all games) ranks sixth in the SEC. • The Vols force opponents into 14.2 turnovers per game while committing 12.4. STEALS PREVALENT IN TYNDALL’S SYSTEM • The aggressive, matchup-zone defensive system employed by coach Donnie Tyndall led to both of his Southern Miss teams ranking among the Division I leaders in steals each of the past two seasons. • In 2012-13, Southern Miss ranked fifth nationally with an average of 9.6 steals per game. In 2013-14, Tyndall’s Conference USA championship team ranked 17th nationally with 8.2 steals per game. • In all games this season, Tennessee averages 7.6 steals per game. • Junior guard Kevin Punter has nabbed four steals three different times. TAKING CHARGE QUICK DEFENSIVE NOTES • Tennessee has drawn 19 total charges this season. • UT also has forced seven shot-clock violations and one 10-second call. • The Vols forced 18 turnovers in each of their games against Arkansas this season. • Senior Josh Richardson had a career-high six steals in UT’s upset win over 15th-ranked Butler (12/14/14). • The Vols held Kansas State without a field goal for a span of 11:27 during the first half of UT’s win over the Wildcats (12/6/14). • UT also forced 22 turnovers against K-State while logging 12 steals and nine blocks. Armani Moore had five of those blocks, marking a career-high. • Tennessee forced 15th-ranked VCU to commit 18 turnovers when the teams met to open the season at The Veterans Classic at the U.S. Naval Academy (11/14/14). • SEC All-Defensive Team member Josh Richardson blocked three shots in the opener vs. VCU. • Three Vols logged multiple steals in UT’s homeopening win over Texas Southern (11/20/14). • In limiting Mercer to 15 first-half points (11/22/14), the Vols had their best defensive half since leading Presbyterian, 43-13, on Dec. 18, 2012. UT held the Bears to .182 shooting as a team in the first half; Mercer did not make a field goal for the final 9:48 of the half.12/22/14 • Junior forward Armani Moore and freshman forward Jabari McGhee share the team-lead for charges drawn this season with four apiece. • Moore is Tennessee’s active leader in charges drawn, with 12 in his career. • As a team, UT has taken 19 charges this season. 10:04 SCORELESS! During Tennessee’s 64-57 victory over Santa Clara in the opening round of the 2014 Orlando Classic at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports, the Volunteers held the Broncos scoreless for a span 10:04. The drought spanned the final 27 seconds of the first half and the first 9:37 of the second half. During that stretch, Santa Clara went 0-for-8 from the floor and committed three turnovers. RICHARDSON KNOWN FOR DEFENSE • Given the emphasis that coach Donnie Tyndall places on defense, it’s fitting that Tennessee’s best player and team co-captain, senior Josh Richardson, has built a reputation as an elite defender. • Richardson made the 2014 SEC All-Defensive Team as a junior. • Richardson is eight blocks shy of breaking into UT’s all-time top-10 list for career blocks. He needs 90 to tie for 10th, and he currently has 82. • He has a pair of three-block games this season, and in UT’s win over 15th-ranked Butler (12/14/14), he logged a career-high six steals (one shy of the school record). • Richardson leads the SEC with 2.1 steals per game this season. • Richardson also has six games this season in which he’s nabbed at least three steals (UT is 5-1 in those contests). “QUOTABLE” Gary Parrish, CBSsports.com “Josh Richardson got a lot of attention last March based on him averaging 19 points per game in the NCAA Tournament while UT made the Sweet Sixteen. But his best attribute, the one that might give him a chance to play in the NBA, is his ability to guard on the perimeter. He’s 6-foot-6 and active with long arms. Just a terrific piece for Donnie Tyndall to inherit.” 2014-15 TENNESSEE BASKETBALL | UTSPORTS.COM | @VOL_HOOPS TENNESSEE BASKETBALL BIG ORANGE CARMICHAEL’S MOTOR NEVER STOPS GREEN ROSTER DONNIE TYNDALL’S FIRST TENNESSEE TEAM IS OVERACHIEVING. Notes on UT’s Youth & Inexperience The Vols have 10 healthy scholarship players (including former walk-on Galen Campbell, who was just placed on scholarship Jan. 9) True freshmen have combined to make 17 starts for this Tennessee team. Five of Tennessee’s top eight contributors (in terms of minutes per game) have one season of Division I experience or less. McGHEE OUT WITH FOOT INJURY ROSTER BREAKDOWN • UT’s already thin frontcourt was dealt a major blow Dec. 17 at NC State, when freshman Jabari McGhee (4.4 ppg, 3.8 rpg) suffered a right foot injury. He had surgery Dec. 19 and is expected to be sidelined for a minimum of six weeks. • McGhee led the Vols in field-goal percentage (.700), and was the team’s second-leading offensive rebounder (2.3 oprg) while playing 13.9 minutes per game. • Donnie Tyndall announced Jan. 5 that there is a high probability of McGhee not returning this season and instead taking a redshirt. • The Vols’ 2014-15 roster features 14 players (11 scholarship student-athletes) representing eight states. • There are four Vols who hail from the state of Tennessee, three from Georgia, and a pair of players from Florida. Alabama, Kentucky, Maryland, New York and Oklahoma also are represented. • Tennessee has three seniors, five juniors, one sophomore and five freshmen. • Eight Vols stand 6-5 or shorter, and six players are 6-6 or taller.

(Richardson also) is one of the best on-ball defensive players—not just in the SEC—but maybe in all of college basketball. He really understands how to use his length and how to gap up quicker, smaller guards to keep them at bay.” UT HAS BEATEN SEVERAL NBA STARS “THE MANIMAL” IS A TYNDALL PUPIL • Over the last eight years, several of the NBA’s elite stars who didn’t experience many losses during their college days have tasted defeat at the hands of the Volunteers. • Kenneth Faried, one of the NBA’s biggest young stars, was recruited and coached by Donnie Tyndall at Morehead State. • This past summer, Faried—known as “The Manimal”—led the U.S. National Team to gold at the FIBA World Cup. • The Denver Nuggets signed Faried to a five-year, $60 million contract extension in October. • Faried’s impressive development under Tyndall shined most during the 2010-11 campaign, as he won his second consecutive OVC Player of the Year award, earned consensus All-American status and broke Tim Duncan’s career NCAA rebounding record before being selected 22nd overall by Denver in the 2011 NBA Draft. ¢ NBA Standouts Who Lost to Tennessee in College PlayerDetails Cole Aldrich Bradley Beal DeMarcus Cousins Andre Drummond Kevin Durant Cleanthony Early Al Horford Jeremy Lamb Kawhi Leonard Greg Monroe Joakim Noah Phil Pressey Rajon Rondo Derrick Rose Evan Turner John Wall UT def.

Prior to the 2007-08 season, UT added a basketball-only practice facility and began the first phase of renovations to Thompson-Boling Arena. The $19 million first phase of renovations included the addition of 32 luxury suites that are located in the existing north balcony, a loge area just below the luxury suites that includes 166 side court seats, new seats for the entire arena, a $3 million center-hung scoreboard and concourse refurbishments, such as graphics and other amenities. The Vols’ state-of-the-art basketball practice facility, Pratt Pavilion, houses two full-size gymnasiums, one for each of the men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as an athletic training room, weight room and film-study room. The athletic department renovated the men’s and women’s basketball offices at the arena during the 2010-11 campaign, creating a new and impressive “front door” for the basketball programs. New to Thompson-Boling Arena last year was the 360-degree LED ribbon board that runs along the bottom of the upper deck.

Attendance was a season-high 18,439. • Junior Armani Moore posted his fourth double-double of the season with a career-high 19 points and tied his career-high with 13 rebounds. Junior Kevin Punter netted 17 points. Senior Josh Richardson added 15, and junior Derek Reese had 11. • Tennessee’s 11-0 run midway through the second half put the Vols in front for good, 60-52, keyed by Punter’s right-side corner 3-pointer with 8:39 left in the second half. • Moore scored six points in one second of game action to give Tennessee a 45-43 lead with 13:04 left in the second. Moore hit a short jumper in the lane on which Auburn’s Trayvon Reed was called for a flagrant-two foul and was ejected after a flying elbow to Moore’s face. Moore proceeded to make both free throws and then hit a layup as action continued. • The Vols led 33-29 at the half as Punter had 10 points for UT and point guard Tahj Shamsid-Deen netted 10 for the Tigers. • Auburn’s leading scorer, KT Harrell, finished with a team-high 16 points for the Tigers. • The game marked the emotional return of former Tennessee head coach Bruce Pearl, who led the UT program from 2005-11 and is in his first season as the Auburn head coach. Pearl has now lost each of the last four games he’s coached in Thompson-Boling Arena. 2014-15 TENNESSEE BASKETBALL | UTSPORTS.COM | @VOL_HOOPS 2014-15 Tennessee Basketball Tennessee Combined Team Statistics (as of Jan 31, 2015) All games RECORD: ALL GAMES CONFERENCE NON-CONFERENCE OVERALL 13-7 5-3 8-4 HOME 9-2 2-2 7-0 AWAY 3-2 3-1 0-1 ## Player gp-gs Total 3-Point min avg fg-fga fg% 3fg-fga 3fg% F-Throw ft-fta ft% 01 00 04 03 23 34 15 21 55 24 05 11 25 Richardson,Josh Punter,Kevin Moore,Armani Hubbs III,Robert Reese,Derek Baulkman,Devon Mostella,Detrick McGhee,Jabari Woodson,Dominic Carmichael,Willie Chiles,Ian Owens,Tariq Campbell,Galen Team Total..........
