KEY STORYLINES

HISTORY LOFTON TIE A WIN WOULD...Today’s game opens the exhibi-tion portion of Tennessee’s 106th season of varsity men’s basketball.

First-year head coach Donnie Tyndall is the program’s 19th all-time head coach.

Tyndall is Tennessee’s third head coach in the last decade.

At 44-years-old, Tyndall is the youngest head men’s basket-ball coach in the SEC.

Pikeville head coach Kelly Wells was UT All-American Chris Lofton’s high school coach for five seasons at Mason County HS in Maysville, Ky. Lof-ton, the SEC’s all-time 3-point king, played for Wells’ varsity squad from grades 8-12.

Wells and Lofton guided Mason County to a state title in 2003, and Lofton was named Kentucky’s Mr. Basketball as a senior in 2004.

Give Tennessee a 10-game win streak in exhibition play.

Improve head coach Donnie Tyndall’s record in exhibition games to 14-1.

� BY THE NUMBERS

28» During his two-year tenure at Southern Miss, Donnie Tyndall averaged 28 wins per season. The Golden Eagles won 27 games in 2012-13 and 29 games in 2013-14.

1» That’s how many players on Tennessee’s roster have ever scored in double figures in an SEC game. Josh Richardson is the only Vol to have done so.

26» That’s how many pounds of lean muscle mass freshman forward Willie Carmichael III has added to his frame since enroll-ing in June.

TENNESSEE IN EXHIBITION PLAY• Tennessee is 71-18 all-time in exhibition games.

That includes a 54-10 mainland record, and a 17-8 record overseas.

• The Vols have won nine straight exhibition games dating to a 79-64 loss to Indianapolis Nov. 8, 2010, at Thompson-Boling Arena.

• Tennessee’s Donnie Tyndall owns a 13-1 head coaching record in exhibition play.

• Last November, the Vols posted exhibition victo-ries over Florida Southern (105-80 on Nov. 2) and Southern Indiana (78-47 on Nov. 7).

ABOUT PIKEVILLE• Founded in 1889, the University of Pikeville is a pri-

vate, liberal arts university affiliated with the Pres-byterian Church, located in Pikeville, Ky. The school is located on a 25-acre campus on a hillside over-looking downtown Pikeville.

• On July 1, 2011, the school changed its name from Pikeville College to the University of Pikeville.

• Pikeville sponsors an NAIA affiliated athletics pro-gram, and its teams compete in the Mid-South Con-ference.

• UPIKE is ranked No. 2 nationally in the preseason NAIA coaches’ poll after going 31-3 last year.

• The Bears won the NAIA Division I men’s basketball national championship in 2011 and captured both the Mid-South Conference regular-season and tour-nament championships last year.

• Six players on Pikeville’s 2014-15 roster previously played at an NCAA Division I school.

• Head coach Kelly Wells is in his ninth season at Pikeville.

• Wells, who has led the Bears to the program’s only national championship as well as its only two 30-win seasons, also has been the recipient of two do-nated kidneys.

VOLS PICKED 13th IN SEC• Tennessee was predicted to finish 13th in the 2015

SEC race in voting by a select panel of both SEC and national media members.

ROSTER BREAKDOWN• The Vols’ 2014-15 roster features 15 players (12 schol-

arship student-athletes) representing nine states.• There are four Vols who hail from the state of Ten-

nessee, three from Georgia, and a pair of players are from Florida. Alabama, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Oklahoma and Texas also are represented.

• Tennessee has three seniors, five juniors, two sopho-mores and five freshmen.

• Eight Vols stand 6-5 or shorter, and seven players are 6-6 or taller.

FOUR SCHOLARSHIP RETURNEES,PROGRAM-RECORD EIGHTSCHOLARSHIP NEWCOMERS• Tennessee head coach Donnie Tyndall’s first season

on Rocky Top signals the addition of eight scholar-ship newcomers, which marks the most in program history (previous high was seven).

• The Vols return only four scholarship players: se-nior guard Josh Richardson, junior forward Armani Moore, junior forward Derek Reese and sophomore guard Robert Hubbs III. Hubbs appeared in only 12 games last season, as his debut campaign was cut short by a shoulder injury that required surgery.

• Among SEC teams, Tennessee’s nine newcomers (includes one walk-on) ties Missouri for the most in the league. UT’s four returning lettermen tie Mis-souri and Texas A&M for fewest among SEC teams.

• Richardson is the only returner who started any games last season (36), while Moore started 16 games as a freshman in 2012-13.

POINT GUARD PLIGHT• Tennessee embarks on the Donnie Tyndall era with-

out the benefit of having a healthy true point guard on its roster.

• Senior guard Brandon Lopez, a walk-on from Knox-ville, is perhaps the most natural “true point guard” on the roster, but he suffered a torn ACL July 26 and underwent surgery Aug. 14. It is expected that he will miss the entire season.

• At the time of his injury, Tyndall stated that Lopez was in the mix to earn the starting job.

• Junior-college transfer Kevin Punter, a career two-guard, enters the season as one of Tennessee’s top options at the point. He has been learning the posi-tion for the first time this fall.

• Due to circumstance, senior Josh Richardson is ex-pected to split time with Punter at the point, while also maintaining a prominent role on the wing.

• Graduate transfer Ian Chiles, who joined the Vols this summer following an impressive career at IU-PUI, also was being looked upon to shoulder a heavy load at the point, but Chiles has battled nag-ging injuries ever since enrolling at UT (hernia sur-gery, shoulder and foot injuries).

BACK, BUT ON A DIFFERENT BENCH• Tennessee assistant coach Al Pinkins suffered an

86-70 loss at Thompson-Boling Arena last season when he was an assistant on the Ole Miss staff.

• As an assistant coach at Morehead State last year, new UT video coordinator Beau Braden saw the Vols race to an 82-67 win over the Eagles.

DID YOUKNOW?

TEAM NOTES“QUOTABLE”

#0 Kevin Punter “I couldn’t always get to the rim. So I had no choice but to just pull up. I started really working on that, the 12- to 15-footers. That’s when

I started the one-dribble pull-up, stop on a dime, things like that.”

FAST BREAKTennessee is one of only 13 programs in the nation to make at least four NCAA Sweet Six-teen appearances in the last eight seasons.

Tyndall is a SneakerheadDonnie Tyndall has a vast personal collection

of close to 500 pairs of sneakers. “I’ve always been a shoe fanatic,” Tyndall said.

“I remember my mom and dad would give me a hundred dollars the week before school started and I had to make that work for my clothes. So usually it was three pairs of jeans and three shirts. But one year, they gave me a hundred bucks and the brand-new Jordans came out like the day before and I spent all hundred bucks on those.”

DT Likes Gators?!Ever since he was a kid, Donnie Tyndall has

been fascinated by alligators. He particularly en-joyed watching TV shows about gators.

When he was the head coach at Southern Miss, his family surprised him with an actual pet alligator. The gator’s name: Alley-oop.

Tyndall eventually had to say goodbye to Alley-oop. The only gator folks in Knoxville ap-prove of is fried gator!

UT Roster Boasts Potential OlympianIf Puerto Rico qualifies for the 2016 Olym-

pics, Vols junior Derek Reese may be boarding a flight to Rio. Reese, whose grandparents, An-selmo and Irma Montañez, were born in Puerto Rico, is active in that country’s national program. He played for Puerto Rico’s Men’s National “B” Team at the 2013 FIBA Stankovic Continental Champions Cup in China.

Michiganders Abound at TennesseeEach of Tennessee’s “big three” athletic pro-

grams prominently feature a Michigan native on the coaching staff. Donnie Tyndall is a native of Grand Rapids. Head football coach Butch Jones hails from Saugatuck. And longtime assistant women’s basketball coach Dean Lockwood is from Bay City.

WLA (we like acronyms)VFL = Vol For Life; GBO = Go Big Orange;

HAT = Humble Appreciative Thankful





RICHARDSON, MOORE CO-CAPTAINS• This fall, first-year head coach Donnie Tyndall se-

lected Tennessee’s two most experienced players as team co-captains.

• Senior guard Josh Richardson and junior forward Armani Moore will serve as captains this season.

• Both players have avoided disciplinary issues off the court their entire career and have remained in good academic standing.

• Tyndall has praised the duo’s work ethic and will-ingness to lead by example and mentor the team’s newcomers.

RICHARDSON READYFOR LEADERSHIP ROLE• After earning SEC All-Defensive Team honors as a

junior last season, senior guard Josh Richardson is ready to replace departed starters Jeronne May-mon (Israel), Jordan McRae (Australia) and Jarnell Stokes (NBA) and assume the role of team leader.

• Richardson is Tennessee’s returning leader in all but one individual statistical category (Derek Reese is the team’s top returning rebounder).

• Richardson has started 68 of Tennessee’s last 69 games spanning the past two seasons.

• During the 2013-14 regular season, Richardson aver-aged 9.5 ppg. But in Tennessee’s four NCAA Tourna-ment games, he increased that average to 19.3 ppg.

RICHARDSON LOOKINGTO JOIN 1,000-POINT CLUB• Senior guard Josh Richardson enters his final sea-

son on Rocky Top needing just 261 points to be-come the 47th all-time member of Tennessee’s 1,000-Point Club.

• Richardson scored a career-high 381 points last sea-son, and he totaled 261 as a sophomore starter in 2012-13. He appeared in all 34 games as a freshman in 2011-12, scoring 97 points.

TYNDALL, MOORE FINALLY TOGETHER• Junior forward Armani Moore signed with Tennes-

see in April 2012. But during his recruitment, he gave serious consideration to several schools.

• One of the other programs recruiting Moore during his high school days was Morehead State and head coach Donnie Tyndall.

• When Tyndall took the Tennessee job in April 2014, one returning Vol—Moore—was already familiar with Tyndall and assured his UT teammates that the Big Orange landed both a good man and a good coach.

HUBBS HEALTHY HEADINGINTO SOPHOMORE SEASON• Sophomore guard Robert Hubbs III enters the sea-

son with a clean bill of health after appearing in just 12 games as a true freshman last year (the first 12 games of the season).

• Hubbs underwent season-ending surgery on his left shoulder Jan. 14, 2014, to address an injury dating to his senior year in high school. The Newbern, Tenn., native received full medical clearance this summer.

• In his limited action last year, during which he wore a soft shoulder brace, Hubbs averaged 5.0 points and 1.5 rebounds while shooting .281 from 3-point range.

CARMICHAEL’S MOTOR NEVER STOPS• True freshman forward Willie Carmichael III has

drawn the praise of head coach Donnie Tyndall af-ter an outstanding summer and fall.

• A native of Apopka, Fla. (less than 20 miles north of Orlando), Carmichael has established a reputation as an eager learner whose motor never stops when he is on the court and a tenacious rebounder who collects boards even outside his area.

• Tyndall has even gone on record stating that Carmi-chael, at this early stage in his career, reminds him of a young Kenneth Faried, who Tyndall coached at Morehead State.

• Carmichael initially signed with Tyndall at Southern Miss before receiving his release and following Tyn-dall to Tennessee.

TYNDALL CHALLENGING WOODSON• Head coach Donnie Tyndall has not been bashful

about stating his expectations for sophomore big man Dominic Woodson, who joined the Vols as a transfer from Memphis in August.

• Woodson, who is now down to 274 pounds after enrolling at 308, has been challenged to achieve a weight of 270 before receiving any meaningful min-utes in the Vols’ rotation.

• Tyndall and his staff also are looking for Woodson to demonstrate a willingness to play through fatigue.

• In preseason scrimmage situations, it has been clear that Woodson has the ability to be a contributor in the post. He must prove first, however, that he can give high-level effort for extended stretches.

RANKED FOES AWAIT• Tennessee schedule features three games against

teams that appear in the AP preseason top 25, which was released Oct. 31.

• The Vols face No. 15 VCU Nov. 14 at the U.S. Naval Academy, No. 1 Kentucky Feb. 17 in Knoxville and No. 7 Florida Feb. 28 in Gainesville.

• A fourth ranked opponent, No. 5 Kansas, could arise if the Vols end up facing the Jayhawks in the second round of the Orlando Classic Nov. 28.

• Four other UT opponents received votes (see below).

LADY VOLS RANKED 4th• The Tennessee women’s basketball program, led by

head coach Holly Warlick, is ranked No. 4 nation-ally in the preseason AP poll, which was released Thursday, Oct. 30.

• The Lady Vols open exhibition play Sunday, Nov. 9 when they host Carson-Newman.

NATIONAL POLLS





VOLS LOOKING TO START NEWSTREAK OF TOP-10 ATTENDANCE• UT finished 12th nationally in average regular-

season home attendance last year, snapping a streak of eight straight seasons finishing in the top six.

• The Vols still managed to draw more than 15,000 fans to home games at Thompson-Boling Arena last year, averaging 15,475 in 17 home games.

• Tennessee sold more than 12,000 season tickets for each of the last eight years and appears on track to do so again this season.

STEALS PREVALENTIN TYNDALL’S SYSTEM• The aggressive, matchup-zone defensive system

employed by UT head coach Donnie Tyndall led to both of his Southern Miss teams ranking among the Division I leaders in steals each of the past two seasons.

• During the 2012-13 campaign, Southern Miss ranked fifth nationally with an average of 9.6 steals per game. And in 2013-14, Tyndall’s Conference USA championship team ranked 17th nationally with 8.2 steals per game.

• To compare, last year’s Tennessee squad averaged just 5.2 steals per game.

TYNDALL’S TEAM POST SOLID RPIs• In his two seasons at Southern Miss, first-year UT

head coach Donnie Tyndall’s teams turned in year-end RPIs of No. 27 in 2013 and No. 29 in 2014.

• In his last six seasons as a head coach, Tyndall’s teams have an average year-end RPI of 87.5. And that’s while competing in “mid-major” leagues such as the Ohio Valley Conference and Conference USA.

• Tennessee’s average year-end RPI the last six years has been 45.5.

TENNESSEE OWNS THIRD-MOST WINS IN SEC LAST FIVE YEARS• Dating to the beginning of the 2009-10 season, Ten-

nessee has the third-highest win total among all programs in the SEC. That applies to overall wins as well as SEC wins.

¢ SEC WINS SINCE 2009-10RANK SCHOOL SEC WINST-1 Florida 64T-1 Kentucky 643 TENNESSEE 51

TYNDALL WANTS VOLS TO OVERACHIEVE• First-year Tennessee head coach Donnie Tyndall has

preached a mantra of “overachieving” to his 2014-15 squad, and he hopes the UT fan base will do its part to help give the Vols an edge.

• Tyndall: “What I want to really try to get our fans to do this year is help us be the most overachieving team in college basketball. That’s going to be our goal. And I don’t want to say that to undersell our talent level or undersell our players, but we need to overachieve this year to have a good year, and our fans need to help us do that.”

DONNIE, NIKKI ESTABLISHTYNDALL #FAMILY FOUNDATION• Shortly after settling in as Tennessee’s new head

coach, Donnie Tyndall, his wife, Nikki, and his daughters, Taylor and Grace, formed The Tyndall #Family Foundation, a pending 501(c)(3) public charity that facilitates the family’s involvement in philanthropic causes throughout the state of Ten-nessee.

• In addition to raising funds to give to nonprofit or-ganizations, The Tyndall #Family Foundation strives to raise the public’s level of awareness regarding philanthropy. One of the goals of the foundation is to encourage members of Tennessee communi-ties, and members of the basketball community, to become involved in and support charitable activity in the greater Knoxville area and the state of Ten-nessee.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE• During Donnie Tyndall’s career as a head coach, 23

of the 24 players who exhausted their eligibility un-der him have graduated on time.

• A total of 25 Tennessee men’s basketball players have graduated in the last six years. Those play-ers are: Josh Bone, Quinn Cannington, Quinton Chievous, Ryan Childress, Wayne Chism, D’Montre Edwards, John Fields, Melvin Goins, Kenny Hall, Tony Harris, Michael Hubert, Justin Jackson, Chris Lofton, Jeronne Maymon, Skylar McBee, Jordan McRae, Dwight Miller, Rob Murphy, Steven Pearl, J.P. Prince, Tyler Summitt, Cameron Tatum, C.J. Watson, Tanner Wild and Renaldo Woolridge.

• Of those 25 graduates in the last six years, 14 went on to sign professional basketball contracts and two have gone into coaching.

� ANNIVERSARIES

Highest-Scoring TeamThe 2014-15 season marks the 40th anniversary

of the highest-scoring team in school history. Head coach Ray Mears’ 1974-75 squad averaged 86.6 points per game (2,251 points in 26 games).

Highest Individual Scoring AverageIt was also 40 years ago that a member of that

team, Hall of Famer Bernard King, set the school re-cord for single-season scoring average. The legendary Vol averaged 26.4 ppg – as a freshman.

Highest Individual Assists AverageThat 1974-75 season was a good year to be a Ten-

nessee point guard, and Rodney Woods capitalized. With weapons like Bernard King, Ernie Grunfeld and Mike Jackson flanking him, Woods, a senior, set the UT single-season record for total assists (227) and as-sists per game (8.73).

Best Team Rebounding MarginFifty years ago, head coach Ray Mears put together

one of the school’s top-rebounding teams. The 1964-65 Vols boasted the best rebounding margin in pro-gram history, out-rebounding opponents by 16.7 rpg.

Highest-Scoring Debut by a VolIn Bernard King’s college debut – the 40th anniver-

sary of which takes place Nov. 30, 2014 – he dropped 42 points on Wisconsin-Milwaukee. That still stands as a record for most points in a Tennessee debut.

“QUOTABLE”Frank Martin, South Carolina“Life is about working, maximiz-ing who you are. Life is about giving back to people. That’s what Donnie does.”

(L to R) Rodney Woods, Bernard King and Ernie Grunfield were part of a prolific 1974-75 squad. With high-scoring teammates, Woods set the UT single-season record for total assists (227) and assists per game (8.73).





SCHEDULING NOTES• Tennessee opens the regular season Nov. 14 at the

U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., where it meets VCU as part of the inaugural Quicken Loans Veterans Classic.

• During the week of Thanksgiving, Tennessee takes part in the eight-team Orlando Classic at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World. The tournament field also includes Georgia Tech, Kansas, Marquette, Michigan State, Rhode Is-land, Rider and Santa Clara.

• Tennessee hosts Kansas State Dec. 6 as part of the 2014 SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The Volunteers have never previously faced K-State on the hardwood. Tennessee’s all-time record against current mem-bers of the Big 12 stands at 10-15.

• Tennessee begins a two-year, home-and-home con-tract with Butler Dec. 14 in Knoxville. UT trails its all-time series with Butler 2-1, dating to 1958. Tennessee and Butler are two of only 13 programs in the nation to make at least four NCAA Sweet Sixteen appear-ances in the last eight seasons.

• With the launch of the SEC Network, the scheduling of midweek games has been adjusted. In addition to the traditional Tuesday night games on ESPN and ESPNU, there will also be two Tuesday games on the SEC Network. Wednesdays will feature two contests on the SEC Network, while Thursdays will highlight one game on either ESPN or ESPN2.

• And after not playing in Knoxville last season for the first time since 1953, Kentucky returns to Rocky Top Feb. 17 for an ESPN “Super Tuesday” matchup. The Vols do not play at Rupp Arena this season, marking UT’s first hoops campaign without a trip to Lexing-ton, Ky., since 1953.

• Texas A&M handed the Big Orange a pair of heart-breaking, buzzer-beater losses last season. That se-ries resumes Jan. 24 in Knoxville when the Aggies visit Thompson-Boling Arena.

• Former UT head coach Bruce Pearl (2005-11) returns to Thompson-Boling Arena as Auburn’s head coach Jan. 31.

• For the first time since 1964, Georgia does not visit Knoxville. The Bulldogs host Tennessee Feb. 7.

Strength & Conditioing Notes

The Vols spent their summer working in-tensely with first-year strength and conditioning coach Todd Moyer, who tracked each player’s development throughout the summer.

Junior forward Armani Moore finished the summer owning “team bests” in the 185-pound bench press (17 reps) and body-weight chin-ups (18 reps). Sophomore forward Dominic Wood-son shared bench-press honors with Moore by also hoisting 17 reps.

True freshman forward Willie Carmichael III showed the team’s biggest improvement in the bench press, increasing his max reps by 10 through the course of summer workouts. Car-michael also added a team-best 11.6 pounds of muscle over June and July.

True freshman guard Detrick Mostella posted the team’s highest “standing” vertical jump, leaping 33 inches.

The top “max” vertical jump went to fellow freshman Jabari McGhee, who rose 40.5 inches. That marked a two-inch personal improvement from the beginning of summer workouts.

Senior guard Ian Chiles dropped a team-high 2.8 percent of his fat over the summer (a total of 5.5 pounds of fat).

“QUOTABLE”Head Coach Donnie Tyndall“We’re excited. I feel like Tennes-see is a place we can do special things. It certainly won’t be in the next year or two, but my

goal is to win a national champi-onship in Knoxville.”

TYNDALL 12th ON TWITTER• With close to 35,970 followers as of Oct. 30, Vols

head coach Donnie Tyndall (@UTCoachTyndall) ranks 12th among the most-followed Division I bas-ketball coaches nationally.

“THE MANIMAL” IS A TYNDALL PUPIL• Kenneth Faried, one of the NBA’s biggest young

stars, was recruited and coached by Donnie Tyndall at Morehead State.

• This past summer, Faried—known as “The Mani-mal”—led the U.S. National Team to gold at the FIBA World Cup.

• The Denver Nuggets signed Faried to a five-year, $60 million contract extension in October.

• Faried’s impressive development under Tyndall shined most during the 2010-11 campaign, as he won his second consecutive OVC Player of the Year award, earned consensus All-American status and broke Tim Duncan’s career NCAA rebounding re-cord before being selected 22nd overall by Denver in the 2011 NBA Draft.

TYNDALL FOSTERS FAMILY VIBE• One of the key elements of Donnie Tyndall’s coach-

ing philosophy is fostering a family atmosphere within his program.

• Earlier this fall, every player on the Tennessee roster was presented with a custom, personalized “dog tag” necklace that is incribed on one side with the phrase “Tennessee Basketball #Family,” along with the player’s name and jersey number. The opposite side is inscribed with one of Tyndall’s favorite acro-nyms—Humble Appreciative Thankful (HAT).

DT MAKING REAL OUTREACH EFFORT• Since his hiring on April 22, head coach Donnie

Tyndall has made more than 150 appearances and speaking engagements.

• From pumping fuel for patrons at a campus gas sta-tion, to hosting a charity golf tournament to visiting UT’s fraternities and sororities, Tyndall has made a real effort to reach out and touch as many Vol fans as he can.

FAST BREAKTennessee has produced 45 all-time NBA Draft picks, including eight first-rounders. Two Vols were selected in the 2014 NBA Draft, as Jarnell Stokes was picked 35th, and Jordan McRae was taken 58th.

THOMPSON-BOLING ARENA

Hoops 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 practice facility, Pratt Pavilion, houses two full-size gym-nasiums, 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. 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. New to Thompson-Boling Arena last year was the 360-degree LED ribbon board that runs along the bottom of the upper deck. And in March of 2014, TBA became the third college arena to install an LED lighting system (joining Arizona State and Notre Dame).

“I’m a guy that’s up for the challenge. Everywhere I’ve been, we have been the underdog or overlooked in some way, shape or form. I’ll embrace that, and I hope our players will embrace that. You can ‘talk about it’ or you can ‘be about it.’ And you ‘be about it’ by doing the right things on the practice floor every day.” #DonnieKnoxville
