Caleb Grill - Racks up 25 off benchGrill provided 25 points (7-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and three steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 83-75 victory over Ole Miss.

ImpactComing off a rough, 1-for-6 shooting day last Tuesday at Texas, Grill responded by matching his second-best scoring total of the year in a resuming-building victory. He continues to be one of the best sixth-men in a strong SEC conference, averaging 15.5 ppg over his last six games. He and the Tigers next face Mississippi State on the road on Saturday.

Tamar Bates - Pops for 26 in victoryBates logged 26 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and five rebounds in 28 minutes during Saturday's 83-75 win over Ole Miss.

ImpactIt was the second-best scoring effort of the year for the senior guard, who also extended his double-digit scoring streak to four games. The Tigers run a deep rotation with three guards averaging double figures that can go off on any given night, so predicting the "boom" games for Bates will continue to be challenging going forward.

Jaemyn Brakefield - Provides value in spot startBrakefield fouled out of Saturday's 83-75 loss to Missouri after recording 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes.

ImpactDespite appearing on the injury report this week, Brakefield has yet to miss a game this season and even made his first start of 2024-25 on Saturday, taking the spot of Dre Davis, who was sidelined with an undisclosed injury of his own. His production of late has ramped up even without occupying the starting five, as Brakefield is averaging 14.6 points and 5.2 rebounds over the last five games -- four of which as a reserve. Ole Miss may have hit a rough patch with three consecutive losses, but the fifth-year senior is producing at roughly the same rate he did in the 2023-24 campaign.

Marques Warrick - Logs first DNP of seasonWarrick did not take the court in Saturday's 83-75 victory over Mississippi.

ImpactWarrick began a four-game stretch at the end of 2024 over which he logged 10.8 ppg across 18.3 mpg, but he had been held to single-digit minutes in each of the last three games prior to Saturday's DNP. No injury was reported, so this appears to be a simple coach's rotation decision, which was likely made easier by the recent emergence of Caleb Grill, who has played 29 or more minutes in four straight.
