• Colgate University is a private liberal arts college in Hamilton, New York. Enrollment is 2,982. The Raiders are members of the Patriot League.
• Tennessee trails its all-time series with Colgate, 0-2, with losses in 1955 and 1960.
• Colgate is riding the nation's sixth-longest active win streak—11 games.
• The Vols and Raiders have no common opponents this season.
A WIN WOULD...
• Give Tennessee 30 wins for just the second time in program history.
• Give Rick Barnes his third 30-win season as a head coach.
• Stand as Rick Barnes' 100th career head coaching victory in the month of March.

• This year's Vols have posted three wins over teams ranked in the AP top five. That ties the 1976-77 squad for UT's most wins over top-five opponents in a single season.
• Two of Tennessee's four losses this season have come in overtime, and all five were away from home against opponents that are seeded No. 5 or better.
• Each of Tennessee's last seven games have come against NCAA Tournament teams, and the Vols are 5-2 during that stretch. That includes two wins over top-five-ranked rival Kentucky.
• For the first time in program history, Tennessee has spent the entire season ranked in the top 10 of the AP Top 25.
• The Vols will finish this season with no more than six losses.
• Tennessee's final average home attendance of 19,034 ranks fourth nationally.
• Tennessee is 55-14 (.797) since the start of last season.
• Rick Barnes is no stranger to Columbus. He was an assistant coach for the Buckeyes under Gary Williams during the 1986-87 season.

• After missing out on the Big Dance last year, Colgate won the 2019 Patriot League Tournament, defending its regular-season title and punching its ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1996. Colgate is rated 132nd in the NET rankings.
• The Raiders' (24-10) magical run began with a double-digit victory over then-first place Lehigh on national television Feb. 4. That was the start of a program-record 11 straight wins en route to the Raiders' first title in 23 years.
• Colgate vaulted into first place in the final week of the regular season to earn the No. 1 seed and homecourt advantage in the Patriot League Tournament. Colgate went 3-0 in the league tournament, culminating with a 94-80 victory over the two-time defending league champion Bison.
• Head coach Matt Langel repeated as the Patriot League Coach of the Year for the second season in a row after leading the Raiders to school records in wins (24), league wins (13) and home wins (15) and a pair of Patriot League titles. Winners of 11 in a row entering the NCAA Tournament, Colgate currently owns the sixth-longest win streak in the nation.
• Rapolas Ivanauskas was the Patriot League Player of the Year, averaging 16.4 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game for the Raiders.
• Second-team All-League honoree Jordan Burns leads Colgate in assists (5.8 apg) while ranking second on the team in scoring (15.8 ppg) and steals (1.2 spg).
• Will Rayman became the 34th Raider in program history to score 1,000 points in Colgate's win over Nazareth on his way to averaging 12.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game during the regular season and earning second-team All-League recognition. The junior forward was also named to the All-Defensive Team.
• As the Patriot League's Rookie of the Year, Tucker Richardson stepped up his play during the conference slate, averaging 8.8 points, 4.6 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.
• As a team, Colgate's biggest strength is its ability to shoot the three. For the season, the Raiders have knocked down 305 treys while shooting a 39-percent clip. They have five different players who have hit at least 40 threes this year and four who have hit 50.
• According to the NET rankings, Colgate's best wins were against Bucknell, which is 152 in the rankings. The Raiders had three matchups with Power Five teams but lost each by double digits (Syracuse, 77-56, Penn State, 76-65, and Pittsburgh, 68-54).

The entire state of Tennessee is winless against toothpaste in general. But they will beat Colgate.
