Looking to win its 15th straight game at Thompson-Boling Arena on Wednesday night, Tennessee faces an Auburn team that has yet to win on the road this season. The No. 8 Volunteers (18-3, 9-1 SEC) are 12-0 at home in 2005-06 under first-year coach Bruce Pearl, winning by an average of 15 points at Thompson-Boling. Tennessee hasn’t lost at Knoxville since an 84-73 defeat to Florida on Feb. 12, 2005. The 14-game run is the Vols’ longest home win streak since they won 17 in a row from Jan. 15-Feb. 3, 2001.
Tennessee brought its winning ways to the road in the last two games, defeating Kentucky and Georgia to give it seven straight victories going into Wednesday.

It began at Seton Hall and ends Saturday at No. 11 West Virginia, now tied with Villanova atop the 16-team conference.The league historically has tried to avoid scheduling teams for three straight road games but with more teams this season, it’s more frequent.
