Alas, the Volunteers have been up and down throughout Cuonzo Martin's first year as head coach, standing 13-12 with six games to play before the SEC Tournament. Not...

It's been a couple of months since the Tennessee Volunteers lost their first game to the Kentucky Wildcats in football since 1984. How has Tennessee head football coach Derek Dooley dealt with the loss? Not very well, apparently.
"That game will bother me for the rest of my life," Dooley said
Thursday during an end of the season meeting with the News Sentinel...

Martin not likely to change starting lineup
Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin doesn't make changes to his starting lineup very often. He doesn't use it simply as a motivational ploy, but it's ended up working out that way.
After their 73-62 victory over Georgia, a game in which the team's second-leading scorer Trae Golden came off the bench for the first time all season, the Volunteers are now 3-0 in games where...

Winless on road, Tennessee travels to No. 1 UK
Coach Cuonzo Martin says his Tennessee Volunteers are better now than when they nearly upset Kentucky in Knoxville. He also knows there's no reason for people to believe it just yet.
''Are we a better team? Yes, we're a better team, but I think you have to go on the road in a hostile environment and prove it,'' Martin said Monday.

Maymon provides Vols with rare consistency
Tennessee forward Jeronne Maymon looks like a football player and, when he's on his game, plays like one in the post.
Not exactly blessed with ideal height for his position, Maymon overcompensates with physicality. In matchups like Saturday's against Auburn, Maymon can simply overpower whoever's guarding him. That's why he came away with 15 points and 19 rebounds...
