Through three games this season, four Vols are averaging more than 10 points per game, and eight different players are averaging at least 7.0 points. 10 Vols play more than 13 minutes on average. Sophomore shooting guard Scotty Hopson is shooting the 3-ball as well as anyone in the country thus far and has scored a career-high 25 points in each of the last two games. Although he is terrified of the large iguanas that are seen all over the team hotel grounds, shooting guard Cameron Tatum has shown no fear offensively coming off the UT bench. The redshirt sopho- more ranks second on the team with 14.0 points per game and is shooting 73 percent from the field. Tennessee boasts a +14.7 turnover margin and scored 50 points off 35 East Carolina turnovers on Friday. The Pirates’ turnovers total was the highest by any opponent during the Bruce Pearl era. The Vols’ 124-49 home win over UNC Asheville on Tuesday—marked Bruce Pearl’s 100th win as Tennessee’s head coach. In his fifth-year on Rocky Top, Pearl reached the 100-win mark in just his 137th game (second-fastest in UT men’s basketball history). See full note on Page 7. Tuesday’s 75-point victory over UNCA marked the Bulldog’s largest margin of defeat in school his- tory, and UT’s 124 points were the most ever allowed by Asheville. Tennessee seniors Wayne Chism and Tyler Smith each logged double-doubles in the Vols’ season- opening win over Austin Peay Nov. 13. It was the second time the frontcourt duo posted double- doubles in the same game. The other game was last season’s home game against Alabama (March 8). This is the fifth time—and the second under head coach Bruce Pearl—that the Vols have debuted in the top 10 in the preseason AP poll. See the complete polls listing on Page 4. The Vols return a total of nine letterwinners, including all five starters, from last year’s squad that posted a 21-13 overall record, won the SEC Eastern Division and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

The Vols’ scoring margin is +47.7 ppg.• Tennessee has an all-time record of 1,445-921-2 in its 101st season of varsity basketball.• In all eight of his full seasons as a Division I head coach, Bruce Pearl’s teams have won at least 10 games in conference play.• Tennessee’s 78.4 points per game rank led the SEC last year and ranked 16th nationally.

Noting DePaulDePaul downed Columbia 59-53 to open its season with a win Tuesday before toppling UNI Friday ... Last season was a forgettable one for the Blue Demons, though, as they turned in a final record of 9-24 and went winless (0-18) in Big East play … DePaul actu-ally started last season 4-0 before becoming the first team to go winless in Big East play since Miami did so in 1993-94 … Consequently, fifth-year head coach Jerry Wainright’s entire staff turned over during the off-season (including the departure of

his son, Scott) … DePaul under Wainwright did post a 20-win season in 2006-07 … Junior big man Mac Koshwal (15.5 ppg, 15.5 rpg, 4.0 apg) appears to have recovered from a foot injury a year ago and will be supported down low by 6-11 sophomore Krys Faber (1.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg), 7-2 sophomore Keni Obi (2008-09: 1.7 ppg, 1.3 rpg) and swingman Jeremiah Kelly (11.5 rpg, 5.5 rpg, 3.0 rpg) … Kelly led all scorers in Friday’s game against UNI with 18 points ... The Blue Demons have welcomed a pair of transfers in sophomore wing Eric Wallace (Ohio State) and junior guard Mike Stovall (Oregon State), both of whom have been starting … Senior guard Will Walker (12.0 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 3.0 apg) anchors the Demons’ backcourt … Depth could ultimately prove to be DePaul’s biggest hurdle as it looks to make strides as a program in 2009-10 ... Mark Pancratz, Tennessee’s assistant to the head coach, is the son of former DePaul forward Andy Pancratz (1973-76) ... And the Vols’ team academic counselor, Kelly Brock (who is with the team in St. Thomas this week) worked at DePaul before being hired at UT in June 2008.

The DePaul SeriesTennessee won its only previous hardwood meeting with DePaul, claiming a 96-61 victory in Knoxville on Dec. 14, 1973 … The Volunteers own a 36-41 all-time record against current members of the Big East Conference, including a 3-1 mark under Bruce Pearl… UT was a perfect 2-0 against the

Big East last season, logging neutral-site wins

over Georgetown (Old Spice Classic in Orlando,

Fla.) and Marquette (SEC/Big East Invitational in

Nashville, Tenn.).

On Nov. 22Tennessee owns a 4-1 all-time record on Nov. 22 ... The Vols’ most recent game on that date stands as the lone loss, as UT suffered a 56-44 loss to Butler in the 2006 NIT Preseason Tip-Off at New York City’s Madison Square Garden ... That loss stands as Tennessee’s lowest scoring output during the Bruce Pearl era ... UT’s four Nov. 22 wins came against Louisiana Lafayette (2005), Stanford (2004), Gardner-Webb (2002) and Elon (1999).

A Family AffairIn addition to the numerous staff members’ fami-lies who have made the trip with the team this week, a number of UT players have their families on hand as well ... Wayne Chism, Kenny Hall, Scotty Hopson, Bobby Maze, J.P. Prince and of course, Steven Pearl, all have parents here for the games.

Up Next: Purdue or St. Joseph’sIf UT wins Sunday, it would face the winner of the St. Joseph’s-Purdue game Monday at 8:30 p.m. ET in the Paradise Jam championship game ... A Tennessee loss on Sunday means the Vols would play the St. Joseph’s-Purdue loser Monday at 6 p.m. ET in the third-place game.

The Paradise JamThis year’s event marks the 10th anniversary of the US. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam, but Tennessee is making its first-ever appearance at the tournament ... Joining UT

in the eight-team field is Boston College (Bruce Pearl’s alma mater), DePaul, East Carolina, Northern Iowa, Purdue, South Dakota State and St. Joseph’s ... Tennessee is one of four teams in the field who made last year’s NCAA Tournament and turned in a final RPI of 75 or better (Boston College, Northern Iowa and Purdue are the others).

Vols Making Their First Appearance At Paradise Jam; Smith Making His SecondTennessee’s trip to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, marks the program’s first-ever appearance at the event … But senior guard/forward Tyler Smith knows his way around the island, as he competed in the 2006 Paradise Jam as a true freshman at Iowa … The Hawkeyes went 1-2 in that year’s tournament (a win over Toledo before losses to Alabama and Villanova), and Smith averaged 19.7 ppg … In Iowa’s lone win at the event, Smith poured in 28 points while also logging six rebounds and five assists … His 11 field goals and 17 field-goal attempts against the Rockets still stand as his NCAA career highs … In the semifinals vs. 10th-ranked Alabama, Smith again led the Hawkeyes in scoring with 19 points; he also added seven rebounds and four assists … Smith tallied 12 points and three rebounds in a consolation-bracket loss to Villanova.

Recent History Predicts Vols Could Do Well At Paradise JamTennessee reached a pair of tournament champi-onship games last season ... Last November, the Vols defeated Siena and Georgetown en route to the Old Spice Classic championship game, where they fell to Gonzaga ... And more recently this

past March, Bruce Pearl led UT to the champion-ship game of the SEC Tournament in Tampa, Fla. ... Tennessee downed Alabama and Auburn on its way to the title game, where it fell to Mississippi State ... The Vols’ depth and conditioning make them a dangerous team in tournament play.

Noting PurdueCoach Matt Painter’s Purdue Boilermakers are com-ing of a 27-win, Sweet Sixteen season ... The Big Ten Conference stalwart returns all five starters and 85 percent of its scoring from last year’s team that won the Big Ten Tournament ... Purdue is led by a solid core of veteran upperclassmen including Robbie Hummel (Big Ten Preseason Player of the Year), E’Twaun Moore (considered a dark horse candidate for Big Ten POY), JaJuan Johnson (Purdue’s top NBA prospect) and Chris Kramer (2008-09 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year) ... The Boilermakers opened the 2009-10 season last Friday with an 89-64 home win over Cal State Northridge before downing South Dakota State on the first day of the Paradise Jam ... 6-8 junior Robbie Hummel appears

to have recovered from a lower back injury (stress fracture in his L-5 verterbrae) that hampered his production and caused him to miss five games last season ... At the World University Games this past July, Hummel was a standout for Team USA, aver-aging 7.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg and 2.3 assists per game ... All-Big Ten forward JaJuan Johnson is a legitimate double-double threat night-in and night-out ... Sophomore guard Lewis Jackson, Purdue’s starter at the point, is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, opening up more meaningful minutes for freshman D.J. Byrd and sophomore Ryne Smith ... The Boilermakers were outrebounded last season, and while their team appears to have very few weaknesses, depth could be one potential vulner-ability.

The Purdue SeriesTennessee’s all-time series with Purdue is tied at 1-1, with the Vols’ win coming by a score of 78-69 in Knoxville Dec. 6, 1980 ... UT’s loss to the Boilermakers was an 82-68 setback in West Lafayette the following season (Nov. 28, 1981).

Noting Saint Joseph’sVeteran coach Phil Martelli (15th season) has the Hawks out to a 3-0 start heading into Sunday’s clash with Purdue ... ... St. Joseph’s beat Boston College 84-80 Friday to advance to the Paradise Jam semi-finals ... Picked to finish in the bottom half of the Atlantic 10 Conference, the Hawks rely heavily on veteran returning starters Garrett Williamson (12.0 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 3.3 apg), Darrin Govens (15.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 2.0 apg) and Idris Hilliard (12.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg) ... Freshman guard Carl Jones (15.7 ppg, 3.0 rpg) is the Hawks’ leading scorer thus far, however ... Jones was a highly touted prep prospect who received scholarship offers from ACC, Big East, Big Ten and Big 12 programs ... In the frontcourt, Hilliard is the only returning player who started multiple games last season, so 6-8 sophomore Bryant Irwin (2.3 ppg, 2.3 rpg) will be looked upon to contribute down low for the Hawks ... He is joined in the post by 6-11 redshirt sophomore (and Bucknell transfer) Todd O’Brien (7.3 ppg, 8.0 rpg) ... The Hawks have a -12.0 rebounding margin this season, perhaps proving why preseason prognosticators pointed to the frontcourt when assessing potential weak spots in the Saint Joseph’s roster ... The Hawks, however, did hit the offensive glass in their win Friday, pull-ing down 11 offensive rebounds

The Saint Joseph’s SeriesTennessee trails its all-time series with Saint Joseph’s 1-2, dating to 1948 ... The Hawks notched home wins in Philly in 1948 and 1998, but UT won the lone meeting in Knoxville by a score of 74-54 on Dec. 9, 1997.

Hopson Dialed In From Long DistanceSophomore shooting guard Scotty Hopson has more than doubled his scoring average from last season (9.2 ppg) and leads the Vols with an average of 22.0 points through two games ... Most impres-sive about Hopson’s offensive performance has been his shooting from 3-point range, as he has made 14-of-18 attempts (.778) ... His six 3-point-ers against UNC Asheville Nov. 17 were a career-high, as was his 25 points scored (which he then matched three days later in UT’s win over ECU).

Stout Defense Early OnTennessee’s defense has been outstanding through the Vols’ first three games ... The highlight thus far has been holding UNC Asheville without a field goal for the first 16:53 of the game Nov. 17 ... Tennessee also held the Bulldogs to .239 shooting from the field (16-of-67) and .063 shooting from long range (1-of-16) ... And in the Nov. 20 rout of East Carolina, the Vols turned 35 ECU turnovers into 50 points ... Through three games, UT’s opponents are hitting just 25.0 percent of their 3-point attempts.

Pearl Has Led UT To Three East Division TitlesDespite playing in a division that boasts the NCAA’s all-time winningest program (Kentucky) and a Florida program that claimed two of the last four national championships, Tennessee has won three SEC Eastern Division crowns under fifth-year head coach Bruce Pearl ... Road success within divisional play has been key, as UT over the last four seasons owns a 13-7 (.650) divisional road record; no other SEC East team has more than nine such wins.

Unbelievable Increase In AttendanceTennessee’s attendance has increased by more than 8,000 fans per game in the four seasons Bruce Pearl has been on Rocky Top ... Tennessee’s increase in attendance is higher than the aver-age attendance of more than 250 Division I pro-grams, including teams from the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac 10, Conference USA, WAC, Mountain West and Missouri Valley conferences ... The Vols saw their 5 millionth fan pass through the Thompson-Boling Arena turnstiles in 2007-08 ... Tennessee ranked fourth nationally with an aver-age of 20,483 fans per home game last season.

Home Crowds of 20,000 Nothing New For VolsTennessee has played in front of 33 home crowds of 20,000 or larger during the Bruce Pearl era ... 10 of UT’s fifteen home crowds last season were larger than 20,000, with the crowd of 22,326 for the Gonzaga game marking the largest at Thompson-Boling Arena since capacity was reduced from 24,535 to 21,678 prior to the 2007-08 season.

Kansas, Kentucky Games Sold OutTennessee basketball tickets are again a hot item this year ... UT sold more than 15,000 season tick-ets for the third straight season ...

Vols Looking To Extend New Home Win StreakThe Vols entered the 2009-10 season looking to start another lengthy home win streak ... After post-ing back-to-back 16-0 home records in 2006-07 and 2007-08, the Vols turned in an uncharacteristic 10-5 mark at Thompson-Boling Arena last season ... Tennessee’s 37-game home winning streak (the longest in school history and second-longest in Division I at the time it ended) came to an end on Jan. 7, 2009, when Gonzaga topped the Vols in over-time 89-79 ... Now in his fifth season at UT, Bruce Pearl is 57-7 at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Tennessee Stands AloneTennessee is the only Division I school ever to rank in the top five nationally in attendance for football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball in the same year ... UT accomplished that lofty feat for the sixth time in 2008-09.

Vols Enjoying New-Look FacilitiesThe University of Tennessee invested more than $35 million into its basketball facilities between the end of the 2006-07 campaign and the start of 2007-08 ... During that eight-month period, 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 renova-tions took Thompson-Boling’s capacity down from 24,535 to 21,678 ... The Vols’ new 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 ... Prior to this season, a pedestrian bridge was constructed leading from the G-10 parking garage to the arena, an elevator was added at the arena’s northwest end as a customer service amenity and new exterior signage has been installed on the building’s facade ... The UT athletics department announced in November that it plans to begin a renovation of the men’s and women’s basketball offices at the arena in April, creating a new and impressive “front door” for the basketball programs.

Legends In The RaftersFour Tennessee basketball legends are memorial-ized with banners in the Thompson-Boling Arena rafters ... The UT men’s basketball program had never retired a jersey prior to the 2006-07 season, but after nearly 100 years of hardwood history, Bernard King (1975-77) was the first player to earn that distinguished honor ... King’s No. 53 jersey was officially retired during a halftime ceremony at the Feb. 13, 2007, home game against Kentucky (UT won 89-85) ... During that same ceremony, banners honoring longtime head coach Ray Mears (1962-77) and beloved radio “Voice of the Vols” John Ward (1964-99) also were unveiled ... Then on March 2, 2008, Ernie Grunfeld (1974-77) became the second UT player to receive the ultimate honor, when his No. 22 jersey was unveiled in the rafters during half-time of Tennessee’s 63-60 victory over Kentucky.

Pearls Enjoyed Golden Summer in IsraelTennessee head coach Bruce Pearl fulfilled one of his professional dreams this past summer as he led Maccabi USA’s Open Men’s Basketball Team to a gold medal at the 18th World Maccabiah Games in Israel ... Maccabi USA’s overtime victory over Israel in the gold-medal game gave the U.S. just its third gold medal at the quadrennial Games in the last 24 years, as teams from nations such as France, Israel and Russia have risen to prominence in recent years ... In its six contests at the Maccabiah Games, the U.S. Maccabi Team outscored its opponents by an average of 35.8 points per game (104.8 to 69.0) en route to a 5-1 record ...

Student Life Center, is a comprehensive academic and citizenship-building program that has gained enthusiastic support from several of UT’s athletic teams ...

OUTLIVE Initiative Returns For Round 2The Tennessee bas-ketball program’s OUTLIVE initiative raised more than

$93,000 last season for cancer research and pre-vention education ... It also helped the UT Medical Center Cancer Institute provide more than 2,500 free cancer screenings throughout East Tennessee .... This season, the Vols are planning an OUTLIVE “orange-out” for the home game against Kentucky on Feb. 27 ... Fans can now vote online at UTsports.com for this year’s OUTLIVE t-shirt design, with the winning design scheduled to be announced Jan. 4 ... The highly successful OUTLIVE initiative was the idea of current graduate manager Brooks Savage, who was inspired to action after witness-ing the impact cancer had on the UT basketball team (Bruce Pearl’s mother is a cancer survivor; Tyler Smith’s father passed after a battle with lung cancer; former Vol Chris Lofton quietly and coura-geously underwent treatment for testicular cancer during his senior season in 2007-08).

UT Leads SEC In Wins Since 2005-06Tennessee’s 46 SEC wins since the 2005-06 season are the most in the conference over that period ...

Since 2006-07 season (107 games), UT has forced 355 turnovers on inbounds plays ... During that span, the Vols’ inbounds pressure has caused:• 68 timeouts to be called• 33 five-second calls• Coppin State (11/19/06) committed the highest number of turnovers on inbounds plays (13) during the last three years.

Coaches’ Preseason All-SEC Teams Include Smith, ChismThe Southeastern Conference unveiled its sixth annual men’s basketball coaches preseason All-SEC teams Monday, and a pair of Tennessee seniors earned inclusion ... Tyler Smith was one of six unan-imous first-team selections, while Wayne Chism landed on the eight-man second team ... This was the second official first-team preseason All-SEC award for Smith, who last month was named to the media’s squad ... Chism, however, was left off the media’s All-SEC listing.

Smith on Wooden, Naismith Watch ListsSenior swingman Tyler Smith appears on the John R. Wooden Award watch list for the third consecu-tive season ... The two-time first-team All-SEC per-former also appears on the preseason watch list for the Naismith Trophy ... The Wooden Award and the Naismith Trophy are considered among the most prestigious national player of the year awards and are presented by the Los Angeles Athletic Club and the Atlanta Tipoff Club, respectively.

Smith Also A Candidate For Lowe’s Senior CLASS AwardThe Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award has risen in promi-nence in recent years, and Tyler Smith is among 30 men’s candidates for this year’s award ... To be eli-gible for the award, a student-athlete must be clas-sified as an NCAA Division I senior and have notable achievements in four areas of excellence: class-room, character, community and competition ... Smith and South Carolina guard Devan Downey are the lone men’s candidates from the Southeastern Conference ... An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty

and Achievement for Staying in School, the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their plat-form in athletics to make a positive impact as lead-ers in their communities.

Chism Rising In UT’s Rebounding Records BookSenior forward/center Wayne Chism has 683 career rebounds and ranks 14th on UT’s all-time list ... During the Nov. 20 win over East Carolina, he passed former UT and NBA great, Dale Ellis (1979-83), who grabbed 679 career rebounds ... Chism last year enjoyed his finest rebounding season, snag-ging 273 boards in 34 games (8.0 rpg) ... Current Los Angeles Lakers scout Gene Tormohlen (1956-59) is UT’s career rebounding leader with 1,113.

Chism Approaching Top 10 On UT Blocks ListWayne Chism also is ascending on UT’s career blocked shots list, as he currently has 106 blocks in his career ... He needs only six more to move into UT’s all-time top-10 list.

Breaking Down The UT RosterThe Vols return a total of nine letterwinners, includ-ing all five starters, from the 2008-09 squad that posted a 21-13 overall record and won the SEC Eastern Division crown ... UT newcomers include two true freshmen (Hall and McBee), one junior-college transfer (Goins) and one Division I trans-fer (Bone) ... The team features five seniors (four scholarship), five juniors, three sophomores and two freshmen ... Four Vols transferred from Division I schools, two came from junior college ... Three current Vols attended prep school at some point during their career ... Eight Vols are 6-6 or taller, and the shortest scholarship player is 5-11 (Goins) ... Eight Vols are Tennessee natives, and six states are represented on the roster.

Vols Must Wait For Bone’s DebutJunior guard Josh Bone transferred to UT from Southern Illinois during the holiday break last season ... To fulfill the NCAA’s transfer residency requirements, Bone has to wait until the conclusion of the fall semester before he can take the court with the Vols ... A native of Nashville, Bone will add depth and toughness to the UT backcourt.

Tabb Leaves ProgramIt was announced Oct. 28 that senior guard Josh Tabb had withdrawn from the university and returned to his hometown of Carbondale, Ill., to be with his mother, who is ill ... A defensive specialist who played on three-20 win teams and saw action in a pair of Sweet Sixteens, Tabb averaged 2.8 ppg and 1.3 apg during his UT career ... Tabb had not practiced with the team during the preseason, as he was placed on indefinite suspension in mid-September for violation of team rules.

UT Bench Running Deep Once AgainLast season, Tennessee’s bench outscored the opponents’ bench by 8.8 points per game (22.7 to 13.9) ... UT’s non-starters scored in double digits 20 times last year, and nine different Vols scored in 17 of Tennessee’s 34 games ... Through three games this season, the Vols’ bench has outscored the opponents’ bench 140-51 (+89) ... A total of 10 Vols play more than 13 minutes per game on average.

Full-Time Coaching Staff Intact For Fourth Straight SeasonBruce Pearl’s full-time coaching staff, which includes associate head coach Tony Jones and assistants Steve Forbes and Jason Shay, is in its fourth season completely intact ... The group has never failed to lead the Vols to 20 wins or a berth in the NCAA Tournament ... Director of Basketball Operations Ken Johnson is in his fifth season on staff ... Mark Pancratz was promoted during the summer from video coordinator to the position of “assistant to the head coach,” and former graduate manager Aaron Green filled the resulting void at video coordinator ... Graduate managers on the Tennessee staff are Brooks Savage and former Appalachian State head coach Houston Fancher, while former Carson-Newman letterman Dustin Edwards has joined the staff as a graduate student manager.

Vols Enjoy Visit From Former Great EllisTennessee basketball All-Century Team member and longtime NBA veteran Dale Ellis spent a week around the team in mid-October ... A two-time SEC Player of the Year during his career as a Vol (1980-83), Ellis observed his alma mater’s practices during his week-long visit, spoke with numerous team members and worked out on his own with team strength and conditioning coach Troy Wills in preparation for an upcoming exhibition tour in Europe ... Another former UT All-America and NBA standout, Allan Houston, spoke to the team during a quick stop in Knoxville in September.

Negedu Inactive This Season After Sudden Cardiac Arrest, ICD ImplantThe Vols will be without the services of arguably their most athletic player this season, as sopho-more forward Emmanuel Negedu will be inactive for the entire year ... A native of Kaduna, Nigeria, Negedu went into sudden cardiac arrest Sept. 28 on UT’s indoor football practice field ... Senior associate athletic trainer Chad Newman used an automatic external defibrillator (AED) to revive Negedu ... Following a stay at UT Medical Center and a visit to The Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, Negedu had a sub-pectoral internal cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implanted on Oct. 6 ... Negedu’s long-term athletic career remains in question, but he will remain on full scholarship at UT.

E-Man Honored With Jersey PatchTennessee is honoring inactive sophomore Emmanuel Negedu (called “E-Man” by his team-mates) with a patch on the left side of its jerseys this season ... For home games, the Vols’ jerseys feature an orange circular patch with a white “E” inside ... On UT’s orange road jerseys, the patch is white with an orange “E.”

Pearl Leading Charge for King’s HOF InductionUT head coach Bruce Pearl is one of many voices nationwide voicing their support for Bernard King to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame ... Pearl’s take: “Bernard King should be in the basket-ball hall of fame in Springfield. One of the things that I’m committed to is to put forth everything that is required.” ... A three-time first-team All-America and three-time SEC Player of the Year, King led the SEC in scoring in all three of his seasons at Tennessee ... A Brooklyn, N.Y., native, King was a four-time NBA All-Star and averaged 22.5 points per game during his professional career ... Eight times he scored 50 or more points in an NBA game ... King is the NBA’s 22nd all-time leading scorer (19,655 points) and the seventh-leading scorer in UT history (all six Vols ahead of him played four years).

Big Apple Trip, Outstanding Opponents Highlight Future UT SchedulesTennessee has signed contracts with numerous marquee opponents for upcoming seasons ... The Vols next season will travel to New York City for the 2010 NIT Preseason Tip-Off ... Tennessee also continues its exciting non-conference series with Memphis and Southern California next year ... The Volunteers will travel to UConn during the 2010-11 season, and UT plays host to UConn in the second half of the home-and-home series during the 2011-12 season ... During Bruce Pearl’s tenure at UT, the Vols have built schedules that rank among the toughest in the nation, featuring non-conference opponents such as Texas, Gonzaga, Ohio State, Memphis, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Georgetown, USC and North Carolina, just to name a few.

Non-Schollie NuggetsThey’re Tennessee’s unsung heroes, learning differ-ent teams’ systems every week and preparing the Vols’ rotation players for each opponent ... Here are some nuggets of knowledge about UT’s non-schol-arship team members ... The son of religious mis-sionaries, senior guard Quinn Cannington was born and raised until the age of 13 in Manila, Philippines ... Junior guard Michael Hubert graduated from Hendersonville High School in Hendersonville, Tenn., with a 4.2 cumulative GPA and also played four years on the tennis team ... Junior guard Josh Bone, who transferred from Southern Illinois

University and will be eligible after the fall semes-ter, is a Nashville native who played high school ball with current Golden State Warrior Brandan Wright at Brentwood Academy ... Bone and Wright remain best friends.

Get Your UmbrellaDuring pregame shootaround prior to the Vols’ season-opening win over Austin Peay on Nov. 13, walk-on guard Michael “The Mike-rowave” Hubert was overheard saying to some student managers, “When it rains, it pours” as he drained one 3-point shot after another ... He wasn’t kidding, and he proved that in the closing minutes of UT’s win, as he sank his only two field-goal attempts—both 3-pointers—during the final two minutes of the game ... Hubert also nailed his lone 3-ball in the win over UNC Asheville and is a perfect 3-for-3 on the year.

Shooting Guard McRae Signs With UTMidway, Ga., native Jordan McRae signed with UT and will play basketball for the Volunteers beginning with the 2010-11 season ... A 6-foot-6, 180-pound shooting guard, McRae is a senior at Liberty County High School and plans to enroll at Tennessee next summer ... As a junior last year at LCHS, McRae averaged 23 points per game and earned 2008-09 honorable mention All-State honors from both the Georgia Sports Writers Association and the Atlanta Journal Constitution while leading the Panthers to the round of 16 in the Class AAA state playoffs and a 20-6 overall record ... Scout.com and ESPN’s Scouts, Inc., both rank the rangy and explosive McRae as the sixth-best shooting guard in the class of 2010 ... McRae is listed on the ESPNU Top-100 chart as the class of 2010’s 29th-best overall prospect ... This past summer, McRae helped guide Team USA 2010 to the championship at the “adidas Nations” tourna-ment in Dallas ... Tennessee’s current roster already includes a pair of Georgia natives in sophomore guard Cameron Tatum (Lithonia) and freshman forward Kenny Hall (Stone Mountain).

Pearl’s Volunteers Dominant On State CircuitAfter Tennessee’s defeat of Austin Peay in the season-opener Nov. 13, Tennessee State is now the only remaining Division I basketball program in the state the Volunteers have not faced dur-ing Bruce Pearl’s tenure … Since Pearl’s debut season in 2005-06, the Vols have played—and beaten—every in-state Division I program except the Tigers … Those schools include Austin Peay, Belmont, Chattanooga, ETSU, Lipscomb, Memphis, Middle Tennessee, Tennessee Tech, UT-Martin and Vanderbilt … Under Pearl, Tennessee owns a 20-4 (.833) record against in-state Division I teams.

Tennessee under Bruce Pearl has rebounded well from losses. Pearl’s UT teams are 27-10 (.730) in games immediately following a loss.

Tennessee under Bruce

Pearl is the first

program in the storied,

76-year history of the

SEC to finish ahead of

Kentucky in the league

standings for four

straight seasons.

Collecting ChampionshipsIn 17 full seasons as a college head coach, Bruce Pearl has led his teams to 15 cham-pionships (including four at UT): 2009 SEC Eastern Division Championship, 2008 SEC Championship; 2008 SEC Eastern Division Championship, 2006 SEC Eastern Division Championship, 2005 Horizon League Tournament Championship, 2005 Horizon League Championship, 2004 Horizon League Championship, 2003 Horizon League Tournament Championship, 2001 Great Lakes Valley Championship, 1997 Great Lakes Valley Champi-onship, 1996 Greaat Lakes Valley Championship, 1995 NCAA Division II National Cham-pionship, 1995 NCAA Division II Great Lakes Region Championship, 1994 NCAA Division II Great Lakes Region Championship, 1994 Great Lakes Valley Championship ... This past summer, he added an international championship when he led the Maccabi USA Open Men’s Basketball Team to the gold medal at the 18th World Maccabiah Games in Israel.

SEC SuccessTennessee’s 46 SEC wins over the last four seasons are the most in the conference over that period ... The Vols fi nished with the second-best record in the SEC in both of Pearl’s fi rst two years and captured the SEC title outright last season with a 14-2 record ... In 2005-06, the Vols won the SEC East with a 12-4 conference mark and then posted a 10-6 league mark in 2006-07 that tied for second in the East and in the overall league standings ... 2006 and 2007 NCAA champion Florida has won 40 league games over the last four seasons to rank second behind UT, and under Pearl, the Vols are 7-1 vs. the Gators.

More SEC SuccessThe Vols have a record of .500 or better against nine of the 11 Southeastern Conference teams since Bruce Pearl was named head coach prior to the 2005-06 season ... Pearl has won at least 10 conference games each year, and UT has swept four of its fi ve divisional opponents twice dring Pearl’s tenure (including last season) ... Pearl has the best career winning percentage of any men’s basketball coach in the SEC with at least three years of ex-perience.

How Sweet It IsBruce Pearl is one of only nine Division I head coaches who has led his teams to three Sweet Sixteen appearances in the last fi ve seasons.

Can I Get A Witness?Tennessee has ranked in the top fi ve nationally in attendance in each of Bruce Pearl’s four seasons in Knoxville ... In 2005-06, UT enjoyed the largest increase in attendance in the nation (5,504 per game) to rank fi fth nationally with an average of 17,954 ... Attendance continued to grow in his second season as the Vols ranked fourth nationally with 19,661 per game ... Last season, the Vols were watched by an average of 20,483 fans each home game, which ranked fourth nationally and was the second-largest attendance average in school history ... In Pearl’s four full seasons, attendance has grown by more than 8,000 fans per game.

Can I Get A Ticket?For the third straight season, UT has sold more than 15,000 season tickets ... Prior to the 2007-08 campaign, the record for season-ticket sales was 13,929 in 1987, the fi rst year Thomp-son-Boling Arena was open.

We Are FamilyBeing part of the Tennessee family is important to Pearl as he works tirelessly to promote all sports at Tennessee ... He asks his players to support the other teams at UT as those teams support basketball ... At a Lady Vols basketball game two seasons ago, he joined fi ve of his players as they painted their chests and cheered from the student section ... After Lady Vols’ coach Pat Summitt returned the favor by leading cheers at a men’s game later in the season Pearl said, “It’s a pretty strong family here. How can you lose when you’ve got that kind of family support?”

Classroom CommitmentTennessee’s success on the court hasn’t come at the expense of academics ... The Vols have produced 22 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections in Pearl’s four full seasons ... Nine members of the basketball team (more than half the squad) earned Academic All-SEC rec-ognition in 2006-07 ... Six diff erent Vols earned the right to wear the VOLScholar patch on their jersey this semester (3.0 GPA or better during the spring semester).

Style PointsTennessee has been one of the highest-scoring teams in the nation the last three years, fi nishing the 2006-07 season ranked ninth nationally with 80.9 points per game, ranking sixth in the country in 2007-08 with 81.8 ppg and ranking 16th last season ... Pearl’s teams have led their conference in scoring 16 of the 17 years he has been a head coach ... Ten-nesseehas led the Southeastern Conference in scoring in each of Pearl’s four seasons ... Defense has also been a key ingredient to UT’s success, as the Vols have led the league in steals in three of the last four years, including a school record 336 pilfers in 2006-07.

Bruce Pearl Head Coach 418-121 (18th yr.) • 101-37 (5th yr. at UT)

Tony Jones is entering his fi fth season as an associate head coach at Tennessee and his ninth on Bruce Pearl’s coaching staff . Jones’ responsibilities include recruiting, scheduling and working with the Vols’ perim-eter players. An instrumental force in landing some of the infl uential players in his team’s successes, he has made in-roads to signing a

number of the top players in the nation. In two of his three seasons at Tennes-see, Jones helped the Vols sign recruiting classes that have been ranked among the top 10 in the nation and have included the likes of All-SEC performer Wayne Chism and McDonald’s All-America Scotty Hopson. “Tony has prepared himself to be a head coach,” Pearl said. “His experience provides him with a wealth of knowledge, and his ability to communicate has made him an eff ective teacher.” With Jones helping to build its annual slate of opponents, Tennessee’s sched-ules have ranked among the nation’s toughest. The Vols have sought to face some of the country’s premier programs, including teams such as Memphis, Gon-zaga, Texas, Ohio State and Kansas. Along with such ambitious scheduling—Tennessee’s RPI has been in the top-25 each of the last three seasons—comes prominent national exposure, as UT has played 52 games on national television over the past four years. Jones came to Tennessee with 12 seasons of collegiate coaching experience after spending four seasons at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) as an associate head coach. Prior to joining the UWM staff , Jones spent fi ve seasons at Toledo and three years at Buff alo. In his 16 seasons of collegiate coaching, Jones has helped direct his teams to nine postseason tournament bids, including six NCAA Tournament appearances the last seven years. Three times (2005, 2007 and 2008) in the past fi ve years he has coached teams appearing in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Tennessee has experienced unprecedented success during the four years with Jones on the bench. The Vols have averaged 24.5 wins during those seasons and have won three SEC Eastern Division championships. The 2008 team captured the overall SEC title outright for the fi rst time in 41 years, won a school record 31 games and earned the fi rst No. 1 ranking in school history. Each of his four seasons at UT has resulted in NCAA Tournament appearances, including two trips to the Sweet 16. Two times the Vols have received No. 2 seeds in the NCAA Tournament—the highest in school history. After helping sign a class that was ranked sixth nationally in 2006, Jones was named one of the top recruiters in the nation by Rivals.com. In 2007, Rivals.com ranked Jones as one of the top-fi ve assistant coaches in the nation. Jones got his fi rst taste of coaching at his alma mater, Detroit Southwestern High School, where he served as an assistant varsity coach while also serving as head junior varsity coach from 1986-91. During this time he coached future NBA stars Jalen Rose (Phoenix Suns), Howard Eisley (Denver Nuggets) and Vo-shon Lenard (Portland Trailblazers), leading them to the mythical USA TODAY national title in 1991. He also served as head coach of Team AAU Michigan for three years (1991-93), posting a 35-1 record and capturing two AAU state cham-pionships. Jones was an All-City star at Southwestern and went on to earn All-Conference honors at Fisk University in Nashville. He earned a bachelor’s degree in health care administration from Concordia (Mich.) University. Jones and his wife, Pam, have four children—Tony II, Jamaal, Mercedes and Porscha. His brother, Bill, is a former member of the NBA’s New Jersey Nets and is currently the head coach of the Premier Basketball League’s Detroit Panthers.

Veteran coach Steve Forbes is in his fourth season as a member of the Tennessee staff . “Over the past couple years, Steve has made a tremendous impact on our recruiting,” UT head coach Bruce Pearl said. “But as a former head coach, Steve understands the challenges programs face in all aspects of the game. “Most recruiters are simply that—bring in talent every year, and then go back out on the road. But Steve is diff erent. His strengths are the relationships and levels of trust he’s able to build with our stu-dent-athletes. He is a complete coach.” Forbes and Pearl fi rst got to know each other when Pearl was an assistant at Iowa. The Vols have been the direct benefi ciaries of the two working together. In the three seasons Forbes has sat alongside Pearl on the Tennessee bench, the Vols have won a total of 76 games and advanced to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments—making back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances in 2007 and 2008. The Vols have led the Southeastern Conference in steals in two of his three sea-sons on Rocky Top, and in 2008 they also led the league in 3-point fi eld-goal per-centage defense by holding teams to just 31.2-percent shooting. The Vols won a school-record 31 games in 2008, and their 14-2 league record gave the school its fi rst outright SEC championship in more than 40 years. Follow-ing a 66-62 win at top-ranked Memphis on Feb. 23, 2008, UT earned the fi rst No. 1 ranking in school history. In 2007, his fi rst at Tennessee, Forbes helped direct the Vols to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament with wins over Long Beach State and ACC co-champion Virginia. UT’s 24 wins that year ranked second in school history at the time. Listed as the No. 8 assistant coach in the nation by FOXSports.com, Forbes has played a key role in recruiting top talent to Knoxville. Tennessee’s 2008 recruiting class was highlighted by McDonald’s All-America Scotty Hopson and was ranked seventh in the nation by Rivals.com. Forbes came to Tennessee after spending two seasons at Texas A&M, where he helped turn the Aggies from a team that had posted a 7-21 record the previous season and hadn’t received a postseason invitation in 11 years, to a program that averaged more than 21 wins in his two seasons and advanced to postseason play both years. A&M posted back-to-back seasons with the most Big 12 Conference wins in school history with Forbes on the bench. Texas A&M’s recruiting also benefi ted from Forbes’ experience, as each of the Ag-gie’s two recruiting classes during his time in College Station were ranked among the top 10 in the nation. Before joining Billy Gillispie’s coaching staff at Texas A&M, Forbes coached at Illinois State (2003-04) and spent three years at Louisiana Tech (2000-03), where he helped sign two nationally-ranked recruiting classes, including a top-10 class in 2003. In 2002 the Bulldogs posted a 22-10 record and went 2-1 in the National Invitation Tournament, their fi rst postseason appearance in 10 years. In 1998 Forbes joined the Idaho coaching staff as an assistant coach before being promoted to associate head coach for the 1998-99 season. In his fi rst season, the Vandals improved to 16-11 and signed a nationally-ranked recruiting class. Forbes compiled a 68-28 record in three years (1995-98) as the head coach at Barton County Community College in Great Bend, Kan. During his three seasons competing in the Jayhawk Conference, the Cougars produced three All-Americas, twice fi nished the season with a national ranking and earned victories over 15 nationally-ranked teams. After spending two years (1989-91) as an assistant coach at Southwestern Com-munity College in Creston, Iowa, Forbes was promoted to head coach in March 1991. A native of Lone Tree, Iowa, Forbes graduated from Southern Arkansas University with a degree in secondary education in 1988. Forbes and his wife, Johnetta, have a daughter, Elizabeth, and two sons, Chris-topher and Johnathon.

Jason Shay is in his ninth season on Bruce Pearl’s staff and his fi fth year at Tennessee. “I’ve known Jason since he was a player at the University of Iowa,” Pearl said. “He has played in this system and believes in this style of basketball. He was an overachiever as a player and has continued to work hard

as an assistant coach. His experiences have helped him make tremendous con-tributions to our players’ individual development. “Jason is my lead scout. He’s been able to take good players and make them better. He knows how to teach the game—both from an individual and a team standpoint.” Shay, who is responsible for recruiting and scouting in addition to adminis-trative duties, came to Tennessee after spending four years on Pearl’s staff at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). He was an assistant coach for UWM’s two NCAA Tournament appearances after spending his fi rst two seasons as the director of basketball operations for the Panthers. Scouting reports put together by Shay have helped lead the Vols to an aver-age of 24.5 wins per season, an outright SEC championship in 2008, three SEC Eastern Division crowns and four straight NCAA Tournament appearances—including back-to-back Sweet 16s in 1007 and 2008. Shay drew the scouting assignment against top-ranked Memphis in 2007-08, and Tennessee’s 66-62 victory over the Tigers vaulted the Vols into the No. 1 spot in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA TODAY polls for the fi rst time in school history. Having handled the Florida scout since joining the UT staff , Shay has helped the Vols post a 7-1 record against the Gators over the last four seasons. Shay served as an assistant basketball coach and assistant sports information director at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa., before rejoining Pearl at UWM. He helped lead Mercyhurst to a top-fi ve ranking in the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Region while assisting with on-court coaching strategies. Shay also was re-sponsible for individual workouts, the team’s strength program, fi lm exchange, scouting reports and monitoring the academic progress of the student-athletes. Shay played four seasons at the University of Iowa under the tutelage of Dr. Tom Davis. During that time, the Hawkeyes advanced to two NCAA Tourna-ments and won the 1992 San Juan Shootout. It was in Iowa City where Shay and Pearl fi rst crossed paths, as Pearl was an assistant coach at Iowa from 1986-92. He earned a bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion at Iowa and a master’s degree in Sports Management in 1998 from Western Illinois University. Shay and his wife, Jana, have a daughter, Peija, and a son, Joah.

Ken Johnson is in his fi fth season at Ten-nessee and his 11th year as a member of Bruce Pearl’s staff . Johnson and Pearl fi rst joined forces in 1999 when Johnson came to the University of Southern Indiana as an assistant coach, and the relationship continued when Pearl moved to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In the 11 seasons Johnson has assisted Pearl, their teams have combined to post a 240-78 record. “It is really important to surround young people with good role models,” Pearl said. “Ken is a very hard worker who genuinely cares about these kids. He has been with me longer than anyone on my staff and he knows how I expect things to be done. He sets the bar high for our student-athletes and provides them with the guidance and support they require to be successful.” Johnson has seen the Vols succeed both on the court and in the classroom. In 2006-07, UT won the third-most games in school history while advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, seven Vols were named to the 2006-07 SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll for their work in the classroom. During the 2007-08 season, Johnson kept the Vols focused in the classroom and the community while they compiled the best record in school history (31-5) on the court and placed six players on the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll. In total during his four years in Knoxville, Tennessee has garnered 18 Academic All-SEC awards. At UWM, Johnson was responsible for working with the Panthers post players while also scouting opponents. During those four seasons, the Panthers posted an 86-38 record and received three postseason invitations, including a trip to the 2005 NCAA Tournament in which they advanced to the Sweet 16. Johnson spent two seasons at USI as an assistant coach where he was respon-sible for video breakdown, scouting of opposing teams and individual player development. During those two seasons, the Screaming Eagles posted a 51-10 record, won a Great Lakes Valley Conference championship and made two NCAA Division II Tournament appearances. USI earned No. 1 rankings in both of Johnson’s seasons and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the 2000 NCAA Tourna-ment. Prior to joining Pearl’s coaching staff at USI, Johnson spent two seasons as an assistant coach of the Idaho Stampede of the Continental Basketball Associa-tion. Johnson began his collegiate playing career at Southwestern Oregon Com-munity College where he was named to the All-Freshman Team in his rookie season. He later earned All-Region honors as a sophomore at Salt Lake Com-munity College. He then moved to College of Idaho where he garnered NAIA District II All-Conference honors. A 1993 graduate of College of Idaho with a degree in physical education, he helped lead the Coyotes to an NAIA District II championship and played for the 1991 NAIA National Championship. Johnson and his wife, Amber, have two daughters, Makenzee Ruth and Kenley Jade.

5 Emmanuel Negedu SO Forward • 6-7 • 218

Kaduna, Nigeria • Brewster [N.H.] Academy

HEART OF A LION: Negedu Inactive This Season Sophomore forward Emmanuel Negedu had a sub-pectoral implantable cardiac defi brillator (ICD) implanted in his chest Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2007, at UT Medical Center. Negedu will not practice or play with the Volunteers during the 2009-10 season. He will, however, remain on full scholarship and will continue to be a valuable part of the UT basketball program. “Emmanuel is such a special young man,” UT head coach Bruce Pearl said. “You don’t come across many like him. He’s faced a tremendously frightening obstacle with unbelievable courage. He is going to be an inspiration to many, and we all feel truly blessed that he’s still here with us.” On Monday, Sept. 28, Negedu suff ered a sudden cardiac arrest (ventricular fi brillation) after racing a teammate on the indoor football practice fi eld at Neyland-Thompson Sports Center. The basketball team had recently completed and been dismissed from a group weightlifting session prior to the impromptu race. Tennessee senior associate athletic trainer Chad Newman and director of sports medicine Jason McVeigh were the fi rst medical personnel to arrive at Negedu’s side, and Newman (the basketball team trainer) initi-ated emergency medical service response. The use of an on-site automatic external defi brillator (AED) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)—both of which were administered by Newman—were necessary to revive Negedu, who regained a pulse and consciousness before being transported via ambulance to UT Medical Center. Negedu was in stable condition during the duration of his hospitalization. He was discharged from UT Medical Center on Thursday, Oct. 1, wearing an external defi brillator vest. He continued to wear the vest until undergoing the implant procedure.

From the time of his admission to UT Medical Center through Wednesday, Sept. 30, Negedu under-went a battery of tests. He traveled with his American host family and Newman to Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday, Oct. 1, to meet with specialists at the Cleveland Clinic. The group returned to Knoxville Oct. 2, and the implant was scheduled that weekend. The ICD is a permanent device that constantly monitors the heart’s rhythm, and when an irregular-ity occurs, the ICD delivers energy to the heart muscle which returns the heart to its normal rhythm.

“I just want to say thanks to all those people that care about me and show me they care,” Negedu said. “I want to say I appreciate everything.

“God is going to see me through this. With God, all things are possible. God is always in control.”

Upon his enrollment at UT in the summer of 2008, Negedu under-went an echocardiogram and an electrocardiogram (EKG), both of

which are part of routine physical examinations for incoming UT student-athletes. No issues were detected on those tests that pre-cluded Negedu’s participation with the basketball team. A native of Kaduna, Nigeria, Negedu played in 33 games as a

true freshman last season. The 6-7 forward shot a team-best 80 percent from the free-throw line while averaging 1.9 points

and 1.7 rebounds per game. His best performance came Jan. 28 against LSU, during which he totaled 11 points, two re-bounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes of action.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest• According to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association, at least 225,972 American lives have been lost this year to sudden cardiac arrest.• SCA is a leading cause of death in the U.S., posting a higher death rate than breast cancer, lung cancer and HIV/

AIDS combined.
