Tobe Awaka - Plays 13, scores six Awaka logged six points (3-3 FG), one rebound and one steal across his 13 minutes during Tennessee's 71-67 loss Tuesday against Purdue.
Impact Across the 2023-24 Volunteers' first five games, Awaka played more than 10 minutes thrice. He logged somewhere between five and nine points during each of the three matchups. While playing time may be a problem for Awaka, consistency has not been such.

What Rick Barnes, Vols said after Tennessee's loss to No. 2 Purdue Vols head coach Rick Barnes and guard Jahmai Mashack discuss No. 7 Tennessee basketball's loss to No. 2 Purdue.

Jordan Gainey - Impactful off bench Gainey racked up 15 points (3-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 71-67 loss to Purdue.
Impact Gainey has been a key reserve for the Vols, as he's logged exactly 25 minutes in three consecutive games and reached double-figure scoring in four of five contests this season. His efficiency leaves a bit to be desired as a 34.0 percent shooter, but at least the volume is there, as Tuesday was the second time this season he's attempted 10 three-pointers. What's concerning is that he's gone a bit cold as the level of competition as risen, as he's just 4-for-20 from the field in the Maui Invitational. He'll have a chance to right the ship Wednesday in a third-place game against Kansas.

Dalton Knecht - Scores 17 despite cramping Knecht recorded 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 73-56 win over Syracuse.
Impact Knect's explosive season continued into the Maui Invitational, as the Northern Colorado transfer continues to set a high floor for fantasy managers. He's now scored 17 or more points, taken double-digit shot attempts and logged three or more rebounds in all four games this season. This was made all the more impressive by the fact that he was limited in the second half due to cramping, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel. Knecht will have to get hydrated and bring his A-game Tuesday, as the Volunteers face the top-ranked Purdue Boilermakers on Tuesday in Maui.
