Thursday’s game is the third of four consecutive home games for the Vols—UT’s longest home- stand of the season. Tennessee is riding an eight-game home win streak, but the Vols’ last loss in Thompson-Boling Arena came against an SEC Western Division opponent (Alabama, March 8, 2009). Bruce Pearl’s 550th game as a college head coach was a special one, as his shorthanded Tennessee squad shocked top-ranked and unbeaten Kansas 76-68 Sunday in Thompson-Boling Arena. UT has won nine of its last 10 SEC openers and is 4-0 in such games under head coach Bruce Pearl. Tennessee senior Wayne Chism has historically performed well against Auburn, averaging 13.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in four career games against the Tigers. He set career-highs for 3-pointers made (4) and points (27) against Auburn in last year’s SEC Tournament semifinal win. J.P. Prince averages 11.7 points and 5.7 assists in three previous games against Auburn. He also shoots 71 percent (.706) from the floor vs. the Tigers. UT currently leads the SEC in assists (17.1 apg) and turnover margin (+6.7) while ranking second in the league in 3-point percentage defense (.286), steals (9.4 spg) and assist/turnover ratio (1.30). Tennessee joins Duke as the only two Division I schools whose men’s and women’s basketball programs are both currently ranked in the top 10. After inking three highly-touted signees during November’s early signing period, UT’s current crop of recruits is ranked fourth nationally by Rivals.com. For more, see the signee note on Page 9.

The Auburn SeriesThis will be the 106th all-time meeting between Tennessee and Auburn ... Tennessee leads the all-time series 68-37 ... The Tigers used a closing-seconds layup to beat UT 78-77 last year in Auburn during the regular season, but the Vols handed the Tigers a 94-85 defeat in the SEC Tournament semi-finals later in the season ... UT has won nine of the last 13 meetings overall ... The Vols lead the series 42-7 in Knoxville (12-2 in Thompson-Boling Arena) ... UT has won eight of the last nine meetings on

Rocky Top, including each of the last five ... The Tigers hold a 25-22 advantage in Auburn ... Bruce Pearl holds a 3-2 edge in head-to-head meetings with Auburn coach Jeff Lebo.

Noting AuburnThe Tigers under sixth-year head coach Jeff Lebo own a 9-7 (0-1 SEC) record, including a 1-2 mark in true road games ... Auburn had won four consecu-tive games (vs. Alabama State, Charleston Southern, Georgia Southern and West Georgia) before drop-ping its league lidlifter to South Carolina 80-71 last Saturday ... Five of Auburn’s games this season have been decided by four points or less and the Tigers are 2-3 in those contests ... Senior DeWayne Reed (15.9 ppg, 4.7 apg) was a preseason All-SEC second-team selection by both the SEC Coaches and the media ... Frankie Sullivan (13.6 ppg), Tay Waller (12.8 ppg) and Lucas Hargrove (13.3 ppg, 7.3 rpg) round out the list of four Tigers averaging at least 10.0 points per game ... Auburn is outscor-ing its opposition by 5.8 ppg (77.8 to 71.9) while shooting .459 from the floor, .319 from long range and .643 at the foul line ... In Saturday’s loss to the Gamecocks, Auburn surrendered 80 points and allowed South Carolina to shoot 45.2 percent over-all and 44 percent from 3-point range.

Wayne Chism set career-highs for 3-pointers made (4) and points scored (27) in the win ... Bobby Maze (5), J.P. Prince (6) and Scotty Hopson (3) combined for 14 of UT’s 19 assists in the game ... Tennessee shot 58 percent overall in the game (34-of-59) ... UT outscored the Tigers 46-34 in the paint and took a 47-36 lead into halftime ... Auburn was led by now-departed Korvotney Barber (24 points, nine rebounds) and returners Tay Waller (17 points, five 3-pointers) and DeWayne Reed (14 points, eight assists).

Vols’ Recent Victory Margin At Home Against Auburn Is ImpressiveDuring their active five-game home win streak over the Tigers, the Volunteers average margin of victo-ry has been 18.6 points per game ... The most-lop-sided of those Big Orange victories was a 29-point triumph (105-76) on Jan. 25, 2000, when UT was ranked 11th and Auburn was ranked seventh.

SEC Home-Openers AtThompson-Boling ArenaTennessee is 13-9 in SEC home-openers at Thompson-Boling Arena ... Included is a 1-1 mark against Auburn (win in 1996; loss in 1998), a 9-2 record against Western Division opponents and a 3-1 mark under head coach Bruce Pearl.

New-Look Vols Shooting, Defending WellIn the two games since losing four contributors, Tennessee is shooting 53 percent from the field and 42 percent from 3-point range while averaging 82.0 points per game ... On the flipside, the Vols have held their last two opponents to 37 percent shooting from the floor and just 27 percent shoot-ing from beyond the arc ... Charlotte and Kansas were held to an average of 69.5 points while being forced into committing 16.0 turnovers per game ... UT, meanwhile, protected the ball turning it over an average of only 11.0 times per game and sport-ing a +5.0 turnover margin.

Pearl’s Conference Success Is StaggeringIn his 17 full seasons as a college head coach, Bruce Pearl’s teams have finished first or second in their conference 14 times, and he’s never had a team

finish worse than third in its league ... Of his three third-place finishes, the two at Southern Indiana led to an NCAA round of 16 appearance (1998) and a national championship (1995).

Kansas RecapTennessee shocked top-ranked and previously unbeaten Kansas Sunday on Rocky Top, using a nine-man rotation that featured just six-scholarship players to hand the Jayhawks a 76-68 defeat ... Despite having seniors Wayne Chism (eight points in 19 minutes) and J.P. Prince (eight points in 14 minutes) on the bench in foul trouble for most of the game, UT outscored KU 30-20 in the paint and turned the ball over just eight times ... Vols walk-

ons Josh Bone, Skylar McBee and Steven Pearl

combined to play 45 minutes and total nine

points, four rebounds, three assists and no turn-

overs ... Scotty Hopson consistently knifed through Kansas defenders en route to a team-high 17 points ... Playing a career-high 34 minutes, sophomore for-ward Renaldo Woolridge shot 4-of-6 from 3-point range and finished with 14 points and a team-high eight rebounds ... Senior point guard Bobby Maze outdueled Jayhawks All-America Sherron Collins, scoring a UT-career-high 16 points, grab-bing a career-high seven rebounds and dishing out a season-high eight assists ... UT true freshman Kenny Hall played a season-high 23 minutes and helped hold KU All-America Cole Aldrich to just seven points in the game ... The teams took a 33-33 tie into halftime, and the Vols managed to build a second-half lead that grew to as much as nine points with 11:38 to play ... Kansas made it a three-point game at the 1:14 mark of the second half, but a Skylar McBee 3-ball then sealed the upset ... The crowd of 21,936 was the second-largest crowd in Thompson-Boling Arena since the venue was reno-vated prior to 2007-08, and it was the 14th-largest college basketball crowd in the nation this season.

Smith Dismissed From Team Bruce Pearl on Jan. 8 announced the dismiss-al of senior guard/forward Tyler Smith due to Smith’s involvement in an off-the-court incident in Knoxville on Jan. 1 ... Pearl placed Smith on indefinite suspension on the evening of Jan. 1 ... Prior to his suspension, Smith had started all 12 of Tennessee’s games this season and ranked among the team leaders in scoring (11.7 ppg), rebounds (4.7 rpg) and assists (3.7 apg).

Prince Starring Over Last Seven GamesIn UT’s last seven games, senior wing J.P. Prince has been a stat-sheet stuffer ... Prince has led the team or shared for the team lead in assists in three of Tennessee’s last four games—all victories ... He’s

also scored in double figures four times over

the last seven games after posting single-figure

scoring outputs in each of the first seven games.

What’s Missing?The four Vols who haven’t played since Dec. 31 combined to average 79.3 minutes played per game—or 19.8 minutes per player ... The four also accounted for 32.2 points, 14.7 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game through UT’s first 12 contests.

Ranked Teams LoomingTennessee’s remaining schedule features three games against two teams currently ranked in the Associated Press or ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ top-25 polls ... Two regular-season clashes with second-ranked Kentucky are on tap, and No. 21/23 Ole Miss comes to Knoxville on Saturday ... The Vols have already faced fourth-ranked Purdue on Nov. 23 (then ranked sixth) and have handed then-top-ranked Kansas its first loss of the season.

Pearl’s Vols Have Enjoyed 26 Weeks In AP Top 10Tennessee has spent 26 weeks* in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll during the tenure of fifth-year head coach Bruce Pearl ... Seven of those weeks saw the Vols residing in the AP top five, with UT reach-ing a high of No. 1 the week of Feb. 25, 2008, after a road win at then-top-ranked Memphis.*AP preseason poll is counted as just one “week”

Up Next: Ole MissTennessee closes out its longest homestand of the season (four games) Saturday when No. 21 Ole Miss comes to Knoxville (1:30 p.m. ET, SEC Network) ... The Rebels under fourth-year head coach Andy Kennedy own a 12-3 (0-1 SEC) record and dropped a home game to Mississippi State on Saturday.

Noteworthy Defensive Nuggets• Tennessee held UNC Asheville without a field goal for the first 16:53 of the game on Nov. 17.• Tennessee also held the Bulldogs to .239 shoot-ing from the field (16-of-67) and .063 shooting from long range (1-of-16).• In the Nov. 20 rout of East Carolina, the Vols turned 35 ECU turnovers into 50 points.• On Dec. 23 vs. North Carolina A&T, UT posted its second-highest steals total in program history (21) while forcing 24 Aggies turnovers.• In the Vols’ win at Memphis on Dec. 31, the Tigers didn’t manage their first field goal until 4:38 had ticked off the clock.• UT is sporting a +6.7 turnover margin (third in the country), and only twice has an opponent shot better than 50 percent in a game (East Carolina and Southern California).

Tennessee Runner-Up At Paradise JamTennessee was runner-up at the 2009 US. Virgin Islands Paradise Jam, with wins over East Carolina (105-66) and DePaul (57-53) before a one-point loss to sixth-ranked Purdue (73-72) in the title game ... UT seniors Wayne Chism (14.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg) and Tyler Smith (12.3 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 3.0 apg, 1.7 spg) earned All-Tournament Team honors ... Scotty Hopson averaged 12.7 ppg, and Cameron Tatum averaged 10.0 ... UT shot .789 at the foul line and .470 from the floor at the event.

Chism Among Winningest Vols EverTennessee senior Wayne Chism has been a part of 88 victories during his career thus far on Rocky Top (88-31, .739) ... Last year’s four-year seniors (Ryan Childress and walk-ons Tanner Wild and Justin Jackson) earned 98 total wins during their careers and stand as the winningest Vols of all-time in terms of total victories* ... Chism has 17 regular-season games remaining, as well as any postseason games, to surpass his predecessors as the win-ningest player in school history.*not counting wins durings players’ redshirt year

Chism Rising In UT’s Rebounding Records BookSenior forward/center Wayne Chism has 743 career rebounds and ranks 11th on UT’s all-time list ... He is one of only seven Vols ever to grab 700 rebounds and block 100 shots ... Chism last year enjoyed his finest rebounding season, snagging 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 ... For a complete list of UT’s all-time rebounding leaders, see Page 9.

Chism Ninth On UT’s Career Blocks ListWayne Chism also is ascending on UT’s career blocked shots list, as he currently has 118 blocks in his career ... That total is good enough for ninth on the school’s all-time list ... In the Dec. 2 win over ETSU, Chism blocked a season-high four shots ... He tied a UT single-game record with six blocks last season at Kansas.

Maze A Cousy CandidateSenior Bobby Maze is one of five SEC point guards listed among the initial 72 candidates for the 2010 Bob Cousy Award presented by The Hartford Financial Services ... Named for Hall of Famer Bob Cousy, the award recognizes college basketball’s top point guard ... A native of Suitland, Md., Maze averages 8.5 points and 3.3 assists per game while owning a 2.9 assist/turnover ratio this season ... Maze was UT’s starting point guard for each of

the two highest single-game assists totals in

school history (34 vs. UNC Asheville this season,

and 32 vs. Chattanooga last season).

The Descent To The SummittReserved primarily for SEC games and big-time non-conference clashes, one of Tennessee’s new-est basketball traditions took hold during Bruce Pearl’s first season as head coach (2005-06) ... The idea of then-senior point guard C.J. Watson (now with the Golden State Warriors), the Volunteers took the floor before tipoff against Florida on Jan. 21, 2006, not from the locker room on court level, but rather by descending through the stands from the concourse separating the upper and lower levels of Thompson-Boling Arena ... Tennessee defeated the second-ranked Gators (who were the nation’s last undefeated team coming into the game following losses by Duke and Pitt earlier in the day) 80-76 that day to usher in the new tradi-tion in style ... Most crowd-descent entrances see the Vols walk down through the student section in the southwest corner of the arena (across from the UT bench).

Records Book Rewritten Against UNC AshevilleIn a 124-49 blowout of UNC Asheville on Nov. 17 in Knoxville, Tennessee set new single-game school records for points (124) and assists (34) while tying the record for 3-pointers made (16) ... UT’s 75-point margin of victory was second in school history and the largest of the Bruce Pearl era ... The 124 points was a Thompson-Boling Arena record (any team) ... It was the most points ever allowed by the Bulldogs and also their largest margin of defeat in school history ... While it’s unknown if it was a record, Asheville went 16:53 without a field goal to open the game, which incidentally was Pearl’s 100th win with the Volunteers.

Pearl Receives Prestigious Local HonorBruce Pearl received the prestigious “Knoxville Award” on Dec. 10 during the 2009 Knoxville Award Luncheon ... The award recognizes individual con-tribution to the community and was created in 1994 to encourage volunteerism, philanthropy and community involvement ... Past winners include CEOs, U.S. Senators and even legendary Lady Vols head coach Pat Summitt.

Negedu Inactive This Season After Sudden Cardiac Arrest, ICD ImplantThe Vols are without the services of arguably their most athletic player this season, as sophomore for-ward Emmanuel Negedu is 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 remains on full scholarship at UT.

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

Pearl Logs His 100th Win At TennesseeWith UT’s win over UNC Asheville on Nov. 17, Bruce Pearl became the second-fastest men’s basketball coach in UT history to win 100 games with the Vols ... His 100th UT win came in his 137th game with the Big Orange ... Only John Mauer (1938-47) reached 100 wins at UT faster (131 games) ... Pearl became one of only four active SEC coaches with 100 victories at their current school, and he reached the mark faster than the three others: Billy Donovan (154 games), Rick Stansbury (158 games) and Kevin Stallings (179 games).

Vols Visit UT Medical Center Cancer InstituteThe Vols used their day off on Dec. 16 to visit patients at the UT Medical Center Cancer Institute ... Coach Bruce Pearl and the entire team spent time talking to patients, posing for pictures and signing autographs ... “It’s important that those who are blessed give back,” Pearl said. “Our guys are out of class right now, so this was a great opportunity for them to come visit the patients.”

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.

King Helps Vols Rally ‘Round The FamilyWhen the Vols were struggling to deal with upset-ting off-court issues in early January, one famous member of the Tennessee Family was there to give the team a lift ... Bernard King spoke to the team during its shootaround the day of the Charlotte game (the first game following the suspensions) ... “In life, we all fall down,” King said. “The challenge is not in the pain that occurs in the fall. The challenge is in the pain of getting up.”

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

basketball 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 lead-ing scorer (19,655 points) and the seventh-leading scorer in UT history (all six Vols ahead of him played four years).

Vols Logging Lots Of TV Time (Again)The Vols have played more than 50 nationally televised games and enjoyed tremendous national media exposure since Bruce Pearl took the pro-gram reins in the summer of 2005 ... All but one of Tennessee’s 34 games last year were televised, and the Vols are scheduled to appear on TV 29 times this regular season ... The Vols play on ESPN or ESPN2 nine times, CSS five times, CBS three times, FSN five times, the SEC Network three times, ESPNU twice and SportSouth two times.

Vols Featured on ESPN College Gameday Matchup For Third Straight YearThe Volunteers’ Feb. 13 game at Kentucky is that week’s featured matchup on ESPN College Gameday ... This marks the third straight season that Tennessee is featured on College Gameday, tying the Vols for the nation’s second-longest active appearance streak on the popular show ... Tennessee’s is 2-0 all-time in Gameday contests, having won at No. 1 Memphis on Feb. 23, 2008, and also posting a win over Florida last season in Knoxville (Jan. 31, 2009).

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.

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.

UT Eighth Nationally In Steals Over Last Three SeasonsTennessee totaled 895 steals over the past three full seasons (2006-07 through 2008-09) which tied for eighth-most nationally among all Division I teams ... The Vols posted 336 steals in 2006-07, 334 in 2007-08 and 225 last season with a younger crop of less experienced guards ... Despite the dropoff in steals last year, Tennessee still managed to rank in the top 10 nationally over that three-year span while far-and-away leading the SEC.

Pearl’s Volunteers Dominant On State CircuitTennessee State is the only Division I basketball pro-gram in the state the Volunteers have not faced dur-ing Bruce Pearl’s tenure … Since 2005-06, the Vols have played—and beaten—every in-state Division I team except the Tigers … Those schools include Austin Peay, Belmont, Chattanooga, ETSU, Lipscomb, Memphis, Middle Tennessee, Tennessee Tech, UT-Martin and Vanderbilt … Under Pearl, UT owns a 23-4 (.852) record against in-state Division I teams.

(Singing) Voice Of The Vols: Jacqui Pearl Tennessee basketball home games literally are a family affair, with Bruce Pearl’s two oldest children, Jacqui and Steven, playing an active role ... While Steven suits up as a junior forward for the Vols, Jacqui is well known among the UT faithful for her outstanding singing voice ... Since Bruce Pearl took over the UT program in 2005-06, Jacqui has sung

The National Anthem at 24 home basketball

games and the Vols are 19-5 (.792) in those

contests ... Jacqui typically takes the mic for the home-opener each season as well as a few “big games” along the way ... She has sung prior to wins over teams such as Florida, Memphis, Ohio State, Temple and Vanderbilt ... So far this season, she has sung the anthem before the season-opening win over Austin Peay on Nov. 13 and before the upset of top-ranked and unbeaten Kansas on Jan. 10.

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.

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 ...

“VOLScholar” Insignia Recognizes Academic Diligence

Eight Vols (Quinn Cannington, Melvin Goins, Michael Hubert, Bobby Maze, Skylar McBee, Emmanuel Negedu, Steven Pearl and Renaldo Woolridge) are sporting VOLScholar patches on their jerseys this semester ... The VOLScholar program, an initiative of

UT’s Thornton Athletics Student Life Center, is a comprehensive academic and citizenship-building program that has gained enthusiastic support from several of UT’s athletic teams ... Student-athletes earn the right to wear the VOLScholar patch on their uniform by achieving a 3.0 grade-point aver-age during the previous fall and/or spring semes-ter.

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 ... OUTLIVE t-shirts are now on sale ... The highly successful OUTLIVE initiative was the idea of current graduate manager Brooks Savage, who was inspired to action after witnessing the impact cancer had on the UT basketball team (Bruce Pearl’s mother is a cancer survivor; former Vol Tyler Smith’s father passed after a battle with lung cancer; former Vol Chris Lofton quietly and courageously 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 ... The Vols are the only SEC squad to record double figure league wins in each of the last four years (regular season) ... In 2005-06, the Vols won the SEC East with a 12-4 conference mark, and then in 2006-07 posted a 10-6 league mark that tied for second in the overall league standings ... In 2007-08 they won the overall title with a 14-2 league record.

Volunteers Boast The SEC’s Longest Active Streak Of NCAA Tournament BidsThe Vols have the longest active NCAA Tournament streak in the Southeastern Conference, earning their fourth consecutive bid under coach Bruce Pearl last season... Kentucky’s streak of 16 consecu-tive appearances was snapped last season ... This year, Tennessee is looking to match its longest NCAA Tournament streak of five seasons (1979-83).

Pressure Defense Tennessee’s pressure defense has made the simple act of inbounding the ball a headache for its oppo-nents ... Since 2006-07 season (119 games), UT has forced 373 turnovers on inbounds plays ... During that span, the Vols’ inbounds pressure has caused:• 75 timeouts to be called• 37 five-second calls• Coppin State (11/19/06) committed the highest number of turnovers on inbounds plays (13) during the last three years.

With the signings of guards Jordan McRae and Trae Golden, along with power forward Tobias Harris, Tennessee’s 2010 recruiting class is ranked No. 4 nationally by Rivals.com ... A 6-foot-6, 180-pound shooting guard, McRae is a senior at Liberty County High School ... 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 ...

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.

Unbelievable Increase In AttendanceTennessee’s average home attendance has increased by 8,258 fans per game since Bruce Pearl’s arrival on Rocky Top ... Tennessee’s increase

in attendance is higher than the average atten-

dance of 266 Division I programs, including teams from the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac 10, Conference USA, WAC, Mountain West and Missouri Valley conferences ... Tennessee ranked fourth nationally with an average of 20,483 fans per home game last season.

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 basket-

ball in the same year ... UT accomplished that

feat for the sixth time in 2008-09.

Tennessee Ranked Fourth Nationally In Attendance For Third Straight YearTennessee finished last season ranked fourth nationally in average home attendance for the third straight year, drawing 20,483 fans per game ... UT averaged 20,267 fans per game in 2007-08 and 19,661 in 2006-07 ... UT’s average home attendance last year was the second-highest in school history, trailing only the 20,823 averaged in 1987-88 (first year that Thompson-Boling Arena was open) ... Below is a look at last year’s attendance leaders: School Games Total Average

1. Kentucky 18 414,220 23,0122. North Carolina 15 315,519 21,0353. Syracuse 19 399,841 21,0444. Tennessee 15 307,239 20,483

Kansas, Kentucky Games Sold OutTennessee has sold more than 15,000 season tick-ets for the third straight season ... All single-game tickets for the Kansas (Jan. 10) and Kentucky (Feb. 27) games were sold out in October.

Home Crowds of 20,000 Nothing New For VolsTennessee has played in front of 34 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.

Vols Looking To Extend New Home Win StreakThe Vols are riding an eight-game home win streak (all this season) ... After posting 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 overtime 89-79 ... Now in his fifth season at UT, Bruce Pearl is 63-7 at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Vols Enjoying World-Class 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.

“Chris Lofton Recruiting Room” DedicatedThe recruiting lounge in Pratt Pavilion was officially dedicated as the “Chris Lofton Recruiting Room” in the three-time All-America’s honor on Dec. 23 ... Tennessee Fund members Brian and Craig Nelson and Jerry and Nancy Fortner made generous dona-tions to The Campaign for Tennessee Basketball to name the room for Lofton ... A dedication cer-emony took place before the Vols’ win over North Carolina A&T.

The Volunteers At Thompson-Boling Arena

Thompson-Boling Arena is hosting its 23rd season in 2009-10 ... The Vols have won nearly 75 percent of their games in Thompson-Boling Arena and have ranked in the top 10 nationally in attendance 10 times, including last year, when UT ranked fourth nationally with 20,483 fans per game.• Tennessee is 263-91 (.743) in its 23rd season in Thompson-Boling Arena.• Since the 1998 season, the Vols are 163-32 (.836) in Thompson-Boling Arena.• The Vols are 73-23 against SEC teams at home over the last 11 seasons.• Tennessee has won 20 of its last 23 SEC games at Thompson-Boling Arena.• UT has won 96 of its last 105 home games against non-conference opponents.• UT is 36-2 in home games against non-conference opponents under Bruce Pearl.• Tennessee finished both the 2006-07 and 2007-08 seasons with a 16-0 home record.• This is the third straight season in which Sporting News has tabbed Thompson-Boling Arena the “best

homecourt advantage” in the Southeastern Conference.

Page 17: 15utgamenotesauburn

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 experience.

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 427-123 (18th yr.) • 110-39 (5th yr. at UT)

Page 18: 15utgamenotesauburn

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.
