Here is twenty interesting numbers about the Tennessee Volunteers to get you prepped for the season. All numbers used were taken from statsheet.com, espn.com, and utsports.com.

1: 17.3%- That is Jarnell Stokes' offensive rebounding percentage for the 2012-2013 season. This was the best in the conference and fifth best in the country.

2: 20.8- Jordan McRae's scoring average in eight SEC losses, including the SEC Tournament game against Alabama.

3: 17.4- Jordan McRae's scoring average in twelve SEC wins, including the SEC Tournament game against Mississippi State.

4: 59%- Antonio Barton's True Shooting Percentage his first two years at Memphis. That number dipped to 52.4% last year his junior year.

5: 104- Tennessee points per 100 possessions. This was actually fifth in the conference. They actually had an above average offense last year.

6: .99- Tennessee points given up per 100 possessions. This was actually 10th in the conference last year. They struggled on defense last year.

7: 23.3- Tennessee's free throw point percentage last year, which means 23.3% of Tennessee's points came off free throws. This was second best in the conference and 33rd in the country.

8: 53.9- Tennessee's rebounding percentage in 2012-2013, which was 21st nationally and 2nd in the conference last year. Imagine how good that number will be with Stokes coming back and Maymon returning.

9: 18- Cuonzo Martin is 18-8 in the months of February and March as Tennessee's basketball head coach.

10: 11- Cuonzo Martin is 6-11 in the month of January as Tennessee's basketball head coach

11: 55.8- Jeronne Maymon's 2011-2012 FG%, which was third best in the conference that year.

12: 68.9- Jeronne Maymon's free throw rate, which was best in the conference in 2011-2012.

13: 12.6- Jeronne Maymon's offensive rebounding percentage in 2011-2012, which was fourth in the conference that year.

14: 2- Armani Moore averaged 2 blocks and 2 steals per 40 minutes in 2012-2013.

15: 31.6- Tennessee's three point percentage in 2012-2013, which was 11th in the conference last year.

16: 34.9- Tennessee's three point percentage that opponents shot against them, which finished 4th worst in the conference.

17: 29- Assist percentage of former Tennessee PG Trae Golden last year, which was fourth in the conference for 2012-2013. In 2011-2012, it was 31.1%, which was second best in the conference

18: 11.9- Assist percentage of Antonio Barton for 2012-2013. In 2011-2012, it was 12.9%.

19: 64.1- Possessions per 40 minutes for Tennessee in 2012-2013, which was ninth in the conference last year and 281st in the country last year.

This isn't really a number but Martin is also the only coach other than Cal to beat every sec team at least once in the last two years.

Does this mean 68.9% of his points came of free throws?

Free throw rate is basically how many free throws you attempt compared to how many field goalds you attempt. Jeronne took 184 FT's compared to 267 FGA.

The formula: FTA/FGA=Free Throw Rate.

Just a metric used to show how well you can get to the line compared to the shots you take.

For example, Jarnell Stokes took 282 FGA last year. He also took 194 FTA last year. His free throw rate was 68.7.

FT Point Percentage is how many of your points come from the free throw line. In 2011-2012, Jeronne FT Point% was 28.8. That was fourth in the conference and top 100 in the country.

Great post Z, like you I am very intrigued by numbers and the direct correlation to wins and losses.

I think the 2 biggest numbers as a team to watch that's coached by Cuonzo Martin are tunrovers, and 3pt%.

In his first 2 years when Tennessee has less than 12 turnovers a game Tennessee is 20-3.

When Tennessee shoots over 40% from 3 for the game Tennessee is 20-2.

His final year at Missouri State, which was his best year by far, his team averaged 10 turnovers a game, that's the number he wants. IMO those 2 will be interesting stats to watch as the season progresses, I will say though playing more uptempo it will be difficult to keep the turnovers that low.

My one concern for this team is that once we pull off a couple of wins and we hit the top #25, they will get the big head and stop playing fundamental ball. They will revert to undisciplined street ball type of play and we will end up losing to the likes of Austin Peay, etc. etc.

Once we start winning, Coach Martin better keep them humble and focused or the winning will be short lived.

I don't feel like that will be a problem. These guys have won before. They aren't coming off of back-to-back 10-win seasons or something. They have tasted some modest success, and now look to take it to another level. Now if we start out 12-0, jump into the top 5-10, then maybe you get concerned about the early season success going to their heads, but 10-2, and cracking the top 20-25 shouldn't. I'd say they feel they should be ranked there now as it is. They probably feel a little disrespected and are out to earn that respect nationally. Teams like that don't usually fold to the pitfalls of success. JMO.

There's plenty of players that have won big games in the past. I don't see that happening.

Those three point numbers are disturbing. That, in my opinion, has to improve this year.

It will. We had way too many bad 3pt attempts last year, McBee was too inconsistent for our 3pt shooter, Richardson shot differently, and we kept putting in guys who shouldn't have been shooting in the first place.

Seems to me like Cuonzo has told them to only shoot 3s if we couldn't work it inside. I think we'll be shooting a lot less 3s this year.

Not to mention we have way better shooters this year. Hubbs, Thompson, Reese, Richardson, Barton and McRae can all shoot well.

I'm excited for men's BB as well as the LV BB this year. Could be a great year for both.

I agree. I like the odds of us stretching the court for the bigs. It should and will be a key component of our makeup this year, I think.

iKrag, ftr I am not making fun of you, but I really enjoy referring to Reese as NBA greats. Not a knock on you, just fooling around :hi:
