2012 PUERTO RICO TIP-OFFITEmS of NoTE¢ This is Tennessee’s third tournament appear-

ance in Puerto rico, and the Vols are 4-4 here.¢ Tennessee went 2-1 at the 1999 Puerto Rico

Holiday Classic, defeating American-Puerto rico and Southern Illinois before falling to Tulsa in the title game. The Vols posted a 1-2 record at the 1991 San Juan Shootout, with a win over Amer-ican-Puerto rico followed by losses to TCU and miami (fla).¢ The Vols swept a home-and-home series with

Umass in 2003 and 2004, the only meetings in the series. Current Brooklyn Nets guard C.J. Wat-son totaled 20 points and 11 assists for UT in the two wins.¢ Last season, Umass went 25-11 and advanced to

the semfinals of both the Atlantic 10 Champion-ship and the NIT. The minutemen finished tied for fifth in the Atlantic 10 after being picked 12th in the preseason.¢ Leading the way was Chaz Williams, who av-

eraged 16.9 points, 6.2 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game and was named first-team All-Atlantic 10 and NABC All-District. He set Umass sopho-more records for assists (231) and steals (81).¢ Head coach Derek Kellogg is in his fifth year

leading his alma mater. The 1995 Umass gradu-ate returned for his first head coaching job after serving as an assistant coach for 12 years, the last eight at memphis under former Umass head coach John Calipari.¢ Kellogg, who was recruited by and played for

Calipari at Umass, was teammates with current Auburn head coach Tony Barbee in Amherst.

NATIoNAL PoLLS

SIXTH mAN SPArKPLUG¢ Just as he did during the second half of last

season, junior wing Jordan McRae has provided an offensive boost off the bench through three games for Tennessee.

¢ mcrae ranks second on the team with 11.0 points per game, and he is shooting a team-leading .556 (5-for-9) from 3-point range.

¢ The midway, Ga., native came off the bench to score in double figures in six of UT’s last 14 games last season.

mISSING mAymoN oN THE GLASS¢ with its top returning rebounder, Jeronne May-

mon, out with a knee injury, Tennessee has been neutralized on the boards.

¢ maymon was fifth in the SEC with 8.1 rpg last season (including 3.0 offensive rpg).

¢ The Vols own a 0.0 rebounding margin, as they and their opponents each average exactly 32.0 rebounds per game.

¢ forwards Jarnell Stokes (6.7 rpg) and Kenny Hall (6.3 rpg) lead the Vols in rebounding.

PUErTo rICo CoNNECTIoNS¢ True freshman guard Derek Reese (who is in-

active as he rehabs from August shoulder sur-gery) played for Puerto rico in July’s Nike Global Challenge. He was eligible for the team because his grandparents, Anselmo and Irma montanez, were born in Puerto rico.

¢ reese led the Puerto rican team in scoring (21.0 ppg), rebounding (12.3 rpg) and steals (1.3 spg).

¢ Sophomore guard Brandon Lopez’s father, Hec-tor Lopez, is Puerto rican (now lives in florida).

¢ Vols assistant coach Kent Williams actually played against Tennessee at the 1999 Puerto rico Holiday Classic in Bayamón. Then a true freshman at Southern Illinois, williams led the Salukis with 15 points on 5-of-17 shooting. He also grabbed six rebounds and had a pair of as-sists, but UT won the game 87-74

¢ During his tenure as head coach at Appalachian State, UT director of basketball operations Hous-ton Fancher guided the mountaineers to the 2006 San Juan Shootout title, posting consecu-tive wins over Virginia, UCf and Vanderbilt.

BIG orANGE GLoBETroTTErS¢ In the one-year period spanning from Nov. 19,

2011, to Nov. 19, 2012, the Vols will have spent 10 days in Italy and close to a week in both maui and Puerto rico.

STArTING SHorTHANDED¢ The Vols enter this week’s tournament with

three members of its 15-man roster sidelined by injuries. most notably, senior forward Jeronne Maymon, a second-team All-SEC performer and UT’s second-leading scorer last season, is out with a knee injury. ¢ fellow senior forward Dwight Miller also is still

rehabbing following offseason knee surgery.¢ freshman guard Derek Reese had surgery in

August to address a labral tear.

oKLAHomA STATE rECAP¢ Tennessee suffered its first defeat of the 2012-13

season friday, falling 62-45 to oklahoma State in the semifinals of the Puerto rico Tip-off.

¢ The Vols (2-1) struggled from the floor all after-noon, shooting just 26.0 percent overall and only making 5-of-23 from 3-point range. oklahoma State outrebounded the Vols 40-30.

¢ Junior point guard Trae Golden led UT with 11 points – the Vols’ only double-figure scorer.

¢ Marcus Smart led three Cowboys in double-fig-ures with 17 points along with a game-high nine rebounds. Le’Bryan Nash also tallied 17, while Markel Brown had 13 points and eight rebounds.

¢ Ahead by 14 on seven different occasions in the first 10 minutes of the second half, oSU finally extended its lead beyond that two-touchdown mark on a 3-pointer by Smart and a layup by Kirby Gardner. Those buckets finished a 7-0 spurt by oSU and put them ahead 54-35 with 7:45 remaining.

¢ In a defensive first half, oSU led 30-19 at half-time as the Cowboys outrebounded the Vols 20-13. oSU outscored the Vols 14-7 to end the half.

¢ The offenses struggled on both ends, as the teams were held scoreless for nearly five minutes midway though the half. oSU broke the drought as former Vol Philip Jurick scored with 7:27 left in the half to give the Cowboys as 16-7 lead.

¢ Tennessee missed 10 field goals in a row at one point in the first half, as the Vols did not register a point for 8:21.

QUICK DEfENSIVE NoTES¢ Tennessee’s half-court defense has caused one

shot-clock violation so far this season.¢ In Tennessee’s season-opening win over Ken-

nesaw State on Nov. 9, the Vols held the owls scoreless for the first 5:02 of the second half and prevented KSU from making its first second-half field goal until 6:15 had elapsed.

¢ The Vols held oklahoma State scoreless for a span of 3:39 in the first half during the Puerto rico Tip-off semifinals on Nov. 16.

¢ Jarnell Stokes recorded a career-high five steals in the season-opener against Kennesaw State.

SHUTTING DowN THE THrEE¢ The Vols boast an impressive .257 3-point field-

goal defense so far this season, holding oppo-nents to an average of three made 3-pointers per game (9-of-35).

¢ Unfortunately for UT, its opponents are shoot-ing .528 on two-point field goals (56-of-106).

SACrIfICING THE BoDy for THE TEAm¢ Through three games, Kenny Hall has drawn a

team-high two charges this season. ¢ As a team, Tennessee has drawn five charges

on the year.

ACTIVE HANDS¢ The Vols track the number of pass deflections

they record every game. Tennessee has had at least 10 deflections in each of its games this sea-son, and is averaging 12.0 per game.

¢ Those who attend a Tennessee basketball game in person are sure to hear Cuonzo Martin’s re-petitive yell of, “Haaands!” whenever the Vols are on defense.

LAST yEAr’S SEC SCorING DEfENSE BEST SINCE 1969¢ Tennessee’s scoring defense of 61.6 ppg in SEC

play last year was the program’s best in the shot-clock era (1986-present).

¢ Not since 1968-69 had a UT team stifled league opponents like last year’s Vols.

¢ The 1968-69 squad held SEC opponents to just 60.9 ppg; at that time, the SEC was composed of only 10 teams and the league schedule featured 18 games.

offENSIVE oUTBUrSTS oUTLAwED¢ Since the start of 2012, no opposing player has

scored more than 23 points against Tennessee.¢ In total, only four players have managed 24 or

more points against the Vols since Cuonzo Martin assumed control of the Tennessee program.

head coaching tenure at Purdue from 2000-08, the Boilermakers produced three Big Ten Defen-sive Player of the year honorees.

EmPHASIS of THE DAy¢ Prior to every Tennessee practice, Cuonzo

Martin gathers the Vols at midcourt and discusses the “Emphasis of the Day.”¢ The Emphasis of the Day rarely focuses on

basketball-specific skills or strategy, as martin typically uses it as a vehicle for character building and personal development. As such, it has become something that the members of the team look forward to each day.¢ martin typically begins by reading that day’s

“emphasis” aloud. He then asks one or two players to read it aloud before opening a team-wide discussion during which different team members are asked to interpret the meaning in their own words.¢ “Everyday when coach gives the guys the

emphasis of the day, it’s something that really makes them think and become closer as a team,” associate head coach Tracy webster said. “A lot of times, the things that he says really hit home with the guys. It can be about family life, it can be a scripture, it can be a quote from someone, but it’s all geared around ̀ team.’¢ Added webster: “If the guys are having a hard

time understanding the message, he breaks it down for them and makes sure that they do. It’s kind of like prayer before a meal. It’s to help you get off to a good start.¢ A few examples: my desire is that the people who know me the

best respect me the most. Success is not measured by how many people I coach or how many games I win; success is living life with such authentic integrity that those who know me best actually respect me the most. when someone does well, we all do well. when

someone makes a mistake, we all make the mistake. Let’s figure out the best way to constructively help each other. when we are reliable, others know that they can

depend on us. They know that we will make the effort to do our best, whatever the situation might be. They know we won’t run, cower or become paralyzed by fear.

TUrNING A ProfIT¢ men’s basketball is one of two sports at the

University of Tenessee that turns a profit annually (football is the other). ¢ In the spring of 2012, the Tennessee men’s

basketball program was included on forbes.com’s list of the 20 “most valuable” college basketball programs in the country (No. 18).¢ The figures showed UT hoops with a value of $12.7

million and a profit of $6.9 million in 2011-12.¢ Tennessee hoops also made that same forbes’

Top-20 list in 2011.

80 = TIPPING PoINT¢ In five seasons as a head coach, Cuonzo Mar-

tin’s teams are 15-2 when they score at least 80 points. That’s not surprising given the emphasis martin places on unrelenting defensive pressure, tenacity and technique.

BIG orANGE roSTEr PEACH fLAVorED oNCE AGAIN¢ for the second straight year, Tennessee’s roster

includes four players from the state of Georgia. ¢ UT’s three returnees from the Peach State are

responsible for more than 47 percent of the total Division I points scored (2,541) by this year’s ros-ter. Trae Golden (555), Kenny Hall (331), Jordan McRae (311) combine for 1,197 points entering this season.

SToKES ENJoyS GoLDEN SUmmEr¢ Sophomore power forward Jarnell Stokes

starred this summer for the USA Basketball men’s U18 National Team, which won the gold medal at the 2012 fIBA Americas U18 Championship June 16-20 in Sao Sebastiáo do Paraiso, Brazil.

¢ The memphis, Tenn., native started all five of Team USA’s games at the championship, averag-ing 14.0 points and 5.6 rebounds in 20.2 minutes per game.

¢ The team’s second-leading rebounder and scor-er, Stokes was remarkably efficient offensively, shooting .689 from the field.

¢ Stokes was the only player on the U.S. squad who boasted any collegiate experience.

¢ “you leave the SEC and come back to play-ing with your age group — it’s crazy how much easier it gets and how much smaller the other guys are,” Stokes said. “I can bury guys better. Sometimes I buried them early, before I’d catch the ball, and I already had them sealed.”

¢ florida coach Billy Donovan was Stokes’ head coach at the fIBA Championship and was im-pressed by Stokes’ ability to physically dominate.

¢ “There was no one guy down there who could match up to him physically,” Donovan said. “He just overwhelmed other teams’ frontcourts.”

mArTIN ALwAyS PoISED¢ In 139 games as a college head coach, Cuonzo

Martin has never been whistled for a technical foul.

20 = 100 for mArTIN¢ If Tennessee reaches the 20-win mark this sea-

¢ martin entered this season with an 80-56 record in four previous seasons as a head coach (three at missouri State, one at Tennessee).

@Cuonzomartin on Twitter¢ Head coach Cuonzo martin is very active on

Twitter, @Cuonzomartin.¢ martin’s 23,341 followers ranks ninth among all

Division I hoops coaches, and he is one of only 10 coaches with more than 20,000 followers.

Cuonzo martin took the Tennessee basketball team on a 10-day, four-game exhibition tour of Italy Aug. 5-15. The tour began in rome and progressed north through florence, Pisa and The republic of San marino before concluding in Como.

The Volunteers plowed through each of their four exhibi-tion opponents en route to a perfect 4-0 record. The com-petition included All-Star Italy (a collection of Italian profes-sional players), the Lithuanian second-division champion BC Atletas, BC Zeta Golubovci from montenegro and Amici del Campetto.

BC Atletas provided the biggest test for Tennessee — the Lithuanian pros defeated Georgia just days before facing the Vols. Atletas also added a victory over Purdue two days after playing UT. Tennessee handed BC Atletas an 82-68 defeat in what would prove to be the Vols’ lowest-scoring game of the tour.

In total, the Big orange boasted an average margin of vic-tory of 49.3 points in its four outings. Twice, in a display of sportsmanship, the Vols requested a running clock during the second half.

In an effort to make the trip an educational opportunity for a team with numerous players who had never traveled abroad, martin called upon UT professor Dr. Robert Bast, who crafted a three-credit course (History 491) appropriately named “renaissance men.” The class met for several on-cam-pus lectures before the trip, preparing the student-athletes for the culture, cities and landmarks they would encounter once they stepped foot on Italian soil.

Highlights of the trip included visits to the roman Colosseum, the ruins of the roman forum, Vati-can City — including St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel — michelangelo’s famous sculpture of David in florence, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the three towers of San marino and a cruise on Lake Como (the first-ever boat ride for four team members).

It’s so much MORE than justwinning ballgames.

DEVELoPING wELL-roUNDED yoUNG mEN¢ Cuonzo Martin is genuinely just as passionate about the development of his players

off the court as he is about their athletic development. As such, he relies on Marco Harris, the basketball team’s student-athlete welfare coordinator, to conduct year-round seminars that educate the team on topics that will benefit them later in life.

¢ Harris was a two-sport athlete in college (basketball and baseball), and he also is a successful private business owner, operating a pair of Subway franchises.

¢ Harris regularly schedules guest speakers and team seminars focused on topics such as “Dressing for Success,” AIDS awareness, credit score education, how to keep a budget, balance a checkbook and more.

¢ Harris also oversees the team’s community outreach efforts. The team has visited patients at UT medical Center and St. Jude’s Children’s research Hospital and also has assisted with Habitat for Humanity building projects (2011 and 2012), race for the Cure and several other events.
