mcrAE’s VErSATILITy oN DISPLAy¢ Jordan McRae has played every position but the
No. 5 spot for the Vols this season.¢ He sees most of his minutes at the No. 2 spot,
which — within the framework of UT’s system — is virtually interchangeable with the No. 3 position.
¢ Cuonzo Martin has used mcrae at the point guard spot in certain instances (including a start at Alabama on 1/12/13), and mcrae started the Presbyterian game (12/18/12) at the No. 4 posi-tion when Kenny Hall was out with an injury.
SToKES owNS THE GLASS IN SEC PLAy¢ Jarnell Stokes leads the SEC with 10.6 rebounds
per game in league play.¢ His 4.4 offensive rebounds per game in SEC play

son — tied for the most among SEC players (tied with LSU sophomore Johnny O’Bryant III).
¢ The sophomore has 15 double-doubles during his UT career (46 games). He has posted a twin bill in 32.7 percent of his college games.
¢ Stokes recent streak of six straight double-doubles was the longest by an SEC player since Kentucky’s DeMarcus Cousins had seven in a row in 2010.
¢ Stokes’ 13 double-doubles are the most by a Vol in a season since Ian Lockhart had 14 in 1989-90.

“When we stop them on the shot clock, that’s when coach Martin shows the most emotion. I throw a no-look to Jarnell, coach Martin, he don’t care. But when we get a 35, you look over there and he’s screaming and jump-ing around.” - Trae Golden
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).

ACADEmIC EXCELLENCE¢ A total of 17 Tennessee men’s basketball players
have earned their UT degree over the last four years.¢ Those players are: Josh Bone, Quinn Cannington,
Ryan Childress, Wayne Chism, John Fields, Melvin Goins, Tony Harris, Michael Hubert, Justin Jackson, Chris Lofton, Steven Pearl, J.P. Prince, Tyler Summitt, Cameron Tatum, C.J. Watson, Tanner Wild and Renaldo Woolridge.¢ Harris, Lofton and watson completed their
degrees using Tennessee’s “renewing Academic Commitment” (rAC) program.¢ The rAC Program enables former student-
athletes who left school early to turn pro in their respective sport return to school in the off-season to work toward their degree requirements while still having access to the resources available to current student-athletes (such as the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center, tutors, etc).
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.
¢ former Vol Tobias Harris (2011) spent his first season and a half in the NBA with the milwaukee Bucks. on feb. 21, he was traded to or-lando, where he is averaging 17.2 ppg and 6.4 rpg off the bench.
¢ Veteran NBA point guard C.J. Watson (2003-06) en-tered his sixth NBA season with a new team: the Brook-lyn Nets. Through his first five seasons, watson averaged 7.8 points and 2.6 assists per game.
¢ Vol legends Ernie Grunfeld (1974-77) and Allan Houston (1990-93) each hold NBA front-office titles. Grunfeld is in his 10th year as president of the wizards, and Houston is the assistant general man-ager of the New york Knicks.

VoLS HELD foUr STrAIGHT UNDEr 60¢ from Nov. 26 through Dec. 13, Tennessee held
four straight opponents to 60 points or less, ty-ing for the program’s longest such streak in the shot-clock era.
¢ The Vols’ streak came against: oakland (50), No. 20 Georgetown (37), Virginia (46) and No. 23 wichita State (60). UT went 2-2 during that stretch, while its opponents averaged 48.3 ppg.
¢ In 1995-96, UT went 3-1 during a similar four-game streak, and the Big orange also put to-gether a four-game streak in 1985-86 while go-ing 4-0.
¢ Tennessee has held 11 teams to fewer than 60 points this season, including six SEC foes.
TENNESSEE KEEPS IT UNDEr 70¢ The Volunteers have held 21 of 29 opponents

¢ Tennessee’s streak of holding 11 straight op-ponents to fewer than 70 points (first 11 games of the season) was the program’s longest such streak since the 1995-96 Volunteers held 16 straight foes to 68 or less.
¢ Until memphis broke the 70-point barrier on Jan. 4, Tennessee had a streak of 32 straight reg-ular-season games in which no opponent scored more than 70 points.
STArTING STroNG¢ In 32 of the 63 games UT has played under head

VoLS PUT ToGETHEr HISTorICDEfENSIVE EfforT AT GEorGETowN¢ Tennessee fell at No. 20 Georgetown 37-36 Nov.
30 in the SEC/Big East Challenge. It was a game that was noteworthy for several reasons.
¢ The game was the lowest combined score in a UT game since the Vols’ 11-6 win over Temple on Dec. 15, 1973. That was the last time the Vols held a Division I opponent to as few as 37 points.
¢ UT’s 37 points surredered also marked the pro-gram’s best defensive scoring effort since hold-ing ohio Northern to 33 points in a 40-33 win on Nov. 25, 1983.
¢ The Vols held Georgetown scoreless for the final 4:09 in regulation. The Hoyas were held without a field goal for the final 10:17 of the first half.
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.
DEfENSIVE CoACH-SPEAK¢ Kentucky coach John Calipari (feb. 16): “They
deserved to beat us by 50 points, today. They played harder, they played rougher and they ex-ecuted better. They were stronger with the ball."
¢ ole miss coach Andy Kennedy (Jan. 24): “They had complete control of the tempo in the first half. A lot of that is because we could never get a shot.”
¢ mississippi State coach Rick Ray (Jan. 19): "Any time you play his team, you know you’re going to play a tough, physical, hard-nosed team. No matter what you do X’s and o’s-wise, you know the physicality is going to affect your team."
¢ wichita State coach Gregg Marshall (Dec. 13): “I said going in this is probably the best defen-sive team we have played all year. They make it tough.”
¢ Virginia coach Tony Bennett (Dec. 5): “we just talked about being ball strong. Again, with their defense, it’s not like they’re going to extend and try to turn you over away on the floor, but they make your catches tough, and you better be a two-handed player or it’s going to be a long night.”
¢ oakland coach Greg Kampe (Nov. 26): “we got beat in every phase of the game. we got out-coached, we got out-played, we got out-hustled.”
STroNG SEASoN-TICKET SALES¢ Tennessee sold more than 13,000 season-ticket
packages for the 2012-13 campaign.¢ The Vols’ total of season-ticket sales this season

THOMPSON-BOLING aRENa
$40 MILLION COMMITMENTHoops a Priority on Rocky Top The University of Tennessee has invested more than $40 million into its basketball facili-ties since the end of the 2006-07 campaign.
Prior to the 2007-08 season, UT added a basketball-only practice facility and began the first phase of renovations to Thompson-Boling Arena.
The $19 million first phase of renovations in-cluded the addition of 32 luxury suites that are located in the existing north balcony, a loge area just below the luxury suites that includes 166 side court seats, new seats for the entire arena, a $3 million center-hung scoreboard and concourse refurbishments, such as graphics and other amenities.
The Vols’ state-of-the-art basketball prac-tice facility, Pratt Pavilion, houses two full-size gymnasiums, one for each of the men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as an ath-letic training room, weight room and film-study room.
The athletic department renovated the men’s and women’s basketball offices at the arena during the 2010-11 campaign, creating a new and impressive “front door” for the basketball programs.

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.
PErSoNAL BrANDING THroUGH SoCIAL mEDIA¢ rather than banning his players from using various social media services, Cuonzo Martin believes in educating them on how to effec-tively use social media as a positive personal branding tool.

Blue collar. Smothering defense and imposing physicality are among the mantras accompanying the dawn of the martin Era on rocky Top. However, as his previous teams have proven, those principles do not prohibit the prevalance of a powerful offensive attack. Discipline and effort will lead to productivity on both ends.
