THE SERIES

• First-year ETSU head coach Desmond Oliver spent the last six seasons as an assistant coach with the Vols under Rick Barnes.
• Tennessee leads the all-time series with ETSU, 16-2, dating to 1945. The Vols are riding a 10-game win streak against the Buccaneers.
• These teams haven't met since the Vols managed a 72-68 win on Dec. 22, 2016, in Johnson City.
• The Vols have been ranked in the top 25 for three of their previous clashes with ETSU, winning each of them: No. 9 in 2000-01, No. 21 in 2006-07 and No. 11 in 2009-10.
• The Vols own a 95-17 all-time record against current members of the Southern Conference.

SCOUTING REPORT

• Super senior forward John Fulkerson hails from Kingsport, Tennessee, and his family home is just 27 miles northwest of the ETSU campus.
• In UT's opener, the Vols made a program-record 17 3-pointers on 40 attempts (.425). Freshman Kennedy Chandler was a perfect 4-for-4 from deep, while Santiago Vescovi tied his career-high with six triples.
• Tennessee's 23 offensive rebounds Tuesday were its most since Jan. 2, 2016, when the Vols grabbed 23 at Auburn.
• The Bucs have six Division I transfers on this year's roster.
• Vols freshman Jonas Aidoo was a prep teammate of ETSU freshman Isaac Farah last year at Liberty Heights Athletic Institute in Charlotte.

LAYUP LINES

• As part of Tennessee's "Salute to Service Week," current military members, veterans and first responders may present a military ID, DD 214, license certification, state-issued ID, badge or other employer-issued identification at the Thompson-Boling Arena ticket office for complimentary admission Sunday.
• With sales of 13,525 to date, this marks the third straight full-capacity year that UT has exceeded 13,000 in season-ticket sales—that's more than the capacity of several Division I venues.

ABOUT ETSU

• The Buccaneers come to Knoxville off a short turnaround, having opened the season on Friday night at Appalachian State—a 69-67 loss.
• For the past six seasons, ETSU head coach Desmond Oliver served as an assistant coach on Tennessee's staff under Rick Barnes. The 2021-22 season marks the first season for Barnes at Tennessee in which Oliver is not a member of the coaching staff.
• ETSU was picked to finish third in the 10-team Southern Conference by the league's coaches in the preseason, while redshirt junior guard Ledarrius Brewer and senior guard David Sloan were both named preseason All-SoCon.
• The Buccaneers return six players from their 2020- 21 squad, which advanced to the semifinals of the SoCon Tournament. ETSU's 2021-22 roster features six Division I transfers.
• Oliver is not the only former member of the Tennessee basketball program that is now on staff at ETSU. ETSU's Director of Basketball Operations is former Vol walk-on Lucas Campbell, who played for the Vols from 2015-19 and served as a graduate assistant with Tennessee's program for the past two seasons.
• ETSU has 10 NCAA Tournament appearances in program history, with its most recent coming in 2017. The Bucs won the 2020 SoCon Tournament and received an automatic bid for the NCAA Tournament prior to the tournament being canceled due to COVID-19.
• Sunday's game between ETSU and Tennessee marks the 19th all-time meeting between the programs and the first since 2016. The Buccaneers are one of five in-state teams the Vols are scheduled to face this season.
