Solid performance in win Awaka chipped in nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 87-53 win over Mississippi State. Impact The freshman had a career-high in Tuesday's win, as he scored nine points off the bench and also shot 80 percent from the field. The forward has seen an increase in minutes played averaging 12.6 minutes in his last five contests compared to the 5.1 minutes he averaged through the first seven games of the year. Expect higher production if his minutes keep increasing, but for now Awaka still plays a bench role for the Volunteers.
