GAME PREVIEW: OLE MISS

This is the final contest of a six-game homestand for Tennessee that began Dec. 13
The Volunteers are 6-1 at home this season and own a 21-5 home record under second-year head coach Cuonzo Martin.
In home games, UT owns a +10.6 ppg scoring margin and a +6.1 rebounding margin.
Tennessee has won 11 straight home games against Ole Miss, dating to 1992. The Rebels' last (and only) win in Thompson-Boling Arena was a 93-88 victory on Feb. 27, 1991.
When these teams met in Knoxville last February, UT posted a 73-60 victory as five Vols scored in double figures. Ole Miss started the game on a 15-2 run.
The Vols have won the last three regular-season meetings in this series.

Ole Miss is 2-1 in true road games this season, with wins at Loyola Marymount and Hawaii and a loss at Middle Tennessee.
Ole Miss makes 7.3 3-pointers per game, but the Vols are allowing only 3.8 3-pointers per game.
Senior forward Kenny Hall is coming off his third career double-double (13 pts, 11 rebs) and is averaging 9.3 rpg in UT's last three games.
Tennessee's bench has outscored the opponents' bench in 10 of 12 games this season. Junior Jordan McRae's 11.6 ppg are a big reason why.
The Vols are 7-2 when they attempt as many or more free throws than their opponent.
By surrendering 85 points to Memphis last Friday, the Vols allowed an opponent to reach the 70-point mark for the first time all season.
