Kentucky needed Koby Brea to step up against Tennessee and he did in a big wayKentucky sharpshooter Koby Brea got out to a hot start in SEC play with a massive 23-point game in the win over Florida, where he shot 7-9 f...

Darlinstone Dubar - Horribly inefficient in lossDubar had seven points (3-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 78-73 loss to Kentucky.
ImpactDubar's 17 minutes tied a season high, but they weren't all that productive, especially from a scoring standpoint. While he did help out on the glass and a little bit defensively with two steals, his 1-of-7 night from downtown was detrimental and he was unable to get to the free-throw line to try to right the ship. Dubar, like the rest of the Volunteers' offense, is in the midst of some severe struggles.

Jahmai Mashack - Not producing much in starting roleMashack posted six points (1-5 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two steals in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 78-73 loss to Kentucky.
ImpactMashack hasn't been that effective of an offensive weapon, averaging 5.9 points on 4.1 shots. Tennessee's offense appears to need a revamp, and quite honestly, keeping Mashack in the starting five won't cut it. He also hasn't offered enough consistently as a facilitator or a rebounder to merit the playing time he's receiving.

Chaz Lanier - Drops 15 in lossLanier ended with 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 78-73 loss to Kentucky.
ImpactLanier had a rough shooting day, especially from downtown, in the loss to Kentucky. His field goal percentage has dipped to 34 percent since 2025 begun. The guard remains a crucial part of Tennessee's struggling offense, but he'll need to work on his efficiency as march draws closer.

Felix Okpara - Contained in lossOkpara ended with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 78-73 loss to Kentucky.
ImpactOkpara was active around the rim as per usual with seven boards and two blocks, but the forward remained limited as a scorer. He's only hit double-digit points in two games since the Calendar flipped to 2025.

Brandon Garrison - Limited impact in victoryGarrison amassed two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 78-73 win over Tennessee.
ImpactGarrison has been a solid bench contributor for the Wildcats, averaging 5.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 18.1 minutes. Still, he plays different roles on a nightly basis, and was hardly involved against the Volunteers. That fluctuation in output makes it hard to trust Garrison from a fantasy perspective.

Jaxson Robinson - Drops 17 vs. VolsRobinson ended Tuesday's 78-73 win over Tennessee with 17 points (6-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 34 minutes.
ImpactRobinson has been electric from distance over his last five games. He hasn't made fewer then three three-pointers in that time frame, and is shooting an even 50 percent from downtown. Statistically, Robinson is nearly a carbon copy of himself at BYU last season, albeit slightly better as a rebounder. He'll look to stay hot against Arkansas come Saturday.
