UT leads the SEC and ranks sixth nationally in scoring offense with an average of 82.4 points per game. In league play, Tennessee’s 80.1 points per game also lead the SEC.

Associated Press
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. While Tennessee leads the league with 82.4 points per game, Auburn (10-11, 2-8) ranks last in the conference with a 64.7 average. The Tigers are 0-8 on the road, losing those games by an average of nearly 18 points.
Virginia Commonwealth-Towson State
Times Dispatch
VCU apparently won’t have to worry about Towson guard Gary Neal tonight. Neal, who torched the Rams for 36 points in the first meeting, suffered a foot injury Feb. 4 against Drexel. The transfer from La Salle, who is averaging 27.1 ppg, aggravated the injury against James Madison on Thursday and missed Saturday’s game against George Mason. “He has not been able to practice and we do not expect him to play against VCU,” Towson coach Pat Kennedy said on yesterday’s CAA conference call.
St. Louis-Duquesne
Press Notes
Saint Louis dropped a gut-wrenching 46-44 loss at Dayton on Sat., Feb. 11, when Flyers guard Brian Roberts dropped in a fadeaway jumper with 3.6 seconds remaining. The Billikens had rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to tie the game with 32 seconds remaining. Located in Pittsburgh, Duquesne (3-19, 1-10) had its potential for a successful season take a huge hit when an injury ended forward Kieron Achara’s season. The Billikens had their season-high three-game winning streak snapped at Dayton. Through games of Feb. 12, the Billikens’ 10 losses have been to teams with a 150-76 record and .664 winning percentage – George Washington (20-1), Gonzaga (20-3), Iowa (19-6), UW-Milwaukee (17-6), North Carolina (15-6), Ole Miss (13-10), Richmond (11-12), Hawaii (13-8), Dayton (12-13) and Saint Joseph’s (10-11).The RPI rates the Bills’ schedule strength as 47th-toughest in the country. Only Saint Joseph’s (third) has a more difficult schedule in the A-10.

NBA
Cavaliers-Celtics
Boston Globe
With his left knee swollen and unable to bend beyond a 90-degree angle, Wally Szczerbiak sat and watched Celtics practice yesterday. He left the team practice facility uncertain whether he will play tonight against LeBron James and the Cavaliers at the TD Banknorth Garden. Asked what would be the deciding factor, Szczerbiak said, ”Whether I can run.” He couldn’t do that yesterday, necessitating a second day of rest and therapy.
