NOTE: Martin’s Vols have put together nine spans during which opponents have been held scoreless for longer than five minutes.
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.

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).
VoLS SECoND IN SEC wINS oVEr LAST SEVEN SEASoNS¢ In league play, Tennessee is the SEC’s second-
winningest basketball program over the last seven years, dating to the 2005-06 season.¢ Tennessee’s 75 SEC regular-season wins during

Vanderbilt (66) and mississippi State (60).

Two VoLS LAND oN “ToP 100” LIST¢ Tennessee’s frontcourt tandem of Jeronne May-
mon and Jarnell Stokes was honored by CBSS-ports.com in the preseason, as each player land-ed on the website’s list of “College Basketball’s Top 100 Players.”
¢ Stokes and maymon were listed at Nos. 25 and 69, respectively.
¢ Tennessee was one of 22 schools (and one of four in the SEC) to place multiple players in the list’s top 70.
¢ Stokes and maymon headline what CBSsports.com college basketball expert Gary Parrish touts as “one of the nation’s best front courts.”
¢ The pair weighs in at 530 pounds and combined for 22.3 points and 15.5 rebounds per game a season ago.
LEAGUE mEDIA PICKS VoLS foUrTH¢ A preseason poll of SEC and national media
members projected Tennessee to finish fourth in the 14-team SEC this season.
¢ The Vols were picked to finish 11th in last year’s preseason media poll (the league had 12 teams), but went 10-6 to finish second in the final stand-ings in Cuonzo martin’s first season at UT.
roSTEr BrEAKDowN¢ The Vols’ 2012-13 roster features 15 players (13

¢ The 2012-13 campaign also is the 70th anni-versary of Tennessee’s 1943 SEC Championship team, which finished 14-4 (6-3 SEC) under head coach John Mauer.
TENNESSEE oNCE AGAIN BoASTS THE NATIoN’S HIGHEST-SCorING CoACHING STAffDuring their playing days, Tennessee’s four full-time coaches combined for more Division I points than any other staff in America.
¢ Twenty years ago, Allan Houston captured the 1993 SEC scoring title (22.3 ppg) – and he also broke Ernie Grunfeld’s school scoring record.
¢ And Ron Slay was the league’s scoring cham-pion 10 years ago, averaging 21.2 ppg in 2003.
ANoTHEr AmBITIoUS SCHEDULE¢ In keeping with recent tradition, Tennessee’s
schedule will once again rank among the most difficult in the nation.
¢ At least 17 games against teams that won 20 or more games last season
¢ At least 13 games against teams that played in the NCAA Tournament last season (and at least seven games against teams who advanced to the Sweet Sixteen)
¢ At least 12 games against teams with a top-50 rPI last season
80 = TIPPING PoINT¢ In five seasons as a head coach, Cuonzo Mar-
tin’s teams are 16-2 when they score at least 80 points. That’s not surprising given the emphasis martin places on unrelenting defensive pressure, tenacity and technique.
SToKES ENJoyED 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.
mArTIN ALwAyS PoISED¢ In 141 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-
son, win No. 20 also will be the 100th victory of Cuonzo Martin’s young head-coaching career.
¢ 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 24,066 followers ranks seventh among
all Division I hoops coaches, and he is one of only 10 coaches with more than 20,000 followers.
BIG orANGE GLoBETroTTErS¢ In the one-year period spanning from Nov. 19,
2011, to Nov. 19, 2012, the Vols have 10 days in Italy and close to a week in both maui and Puerto rico.
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).

the capacity of five SEC arenas (ole miss [ca-pacity 9,061], Auburn [9,121], mississippi State [10,500], Georgia [10,523] and florida [12,000]).
TENNESSEE STANDS ALoNE¢ Tennessee 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 ninth time in 2011-12.

$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.
And new to Thompson-Boling Arena last year was the 360-degree LED ribbon board that runs along the bottom of the upper deck.

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.

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.
