Vols Score School Record 124 Points in Win Over UNC Asheville

   KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Scotty Hopson had a career-high 25
points and No. 10 Tennessee set a school record for points in a
game with a 124-49 victory over North Carolina-Asheville on Tuesday
night.
      It was coach Bruce Pearl's 100th win with the Volunteers and the
124 points broke Tennessee's previous single-game record of 121
points, last achieved by the Vols in the opening round of the 2007
NCAA tournament against Long Beach State.
      Pearl is the second fastest Vols coach to reach the century
mark. It took John Mauer 131 games in the late 1930s and early '40s
to earn 100 wins.
      The Vols (2-0) had their way with a Bulldogs team picked to
finish second in the Big South Conference, hitting 64.9 percent of
their shots from the field in the first half.
      J.P. Primm led UNC-Asheville with 13 points.
