Felix Okpara - College Basketball News & Rumors | FOX Sports

13 points in rout Okpara closed Wednesday's 92-57 win over Montana with 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes.

Impact Okpara hit double digit points for the second straight game this season. The center was quieter on the boards, but he had his most efficient scoring night against the Grizzlies. He hasn't been the most assertive offensive player for head coach Rick Barnes' squad, averaging 4.7 field goals attempted.

Four blocks in exhibition Okpara went for seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and four blocks in Sunday's exhibition loss to Indiana.

Impact Okpara was able to hold his own defensively with a tough frontcourt of Malike Reneau and Oumar Ballo. Okpara averaged 2.3 blocks per game last season with Ohio State and should be amongst the leaders in the SEC in that category. It's also worth noting that he played over 31 minutes in this one, so his stamina seems to have improved and the 23.6 MPG he averaged last season should go up. The Vols open the regular season on Monday against Gardner-Webb.
