SEC Tournament odds: Auburn favored over Florida, Alabama
Can Auburn win the SEC Tournament for a second straight year? Or will a ranked foe knocked them off? Check out the odds.MARCH 15, 2025 • FOX SPORTS
Jahmai Mashack - Season-high 13 points Mashack totaled 13 points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 83-72 win over Texas.
Impact Mashack only shot 3-of-7 from the field, but he was almost perfect from the charity stripe while pulling down seven rebounds and dishing out four assists. It was glue-guy kind of performance Tennessee needed to beat Texas, but Mashack's 13 points were also the most he'd scored since the 2022-2023 season. That bodes well as the Vols will look to knock off Auburn on Saturday.

Zakai Zeigler - Dynamic against Longhorns Zeigler contributed 19 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-11 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Friday's 83-72 victory over Texas.
Impact Zeigler's 19 points were the most he'd scored since almost a month ago. The point guard did struggle as a facilitator, dishing out six assists (below his average of 7.4) to four turnovers, but his 19 points were a team high and his efficient shooting -- 75 percent from the field -- were instrumental in helping the Volunteers knock off Texas and advance to the SEC Tournament semifinals.

Felix Okpara - Quiet once again Okpara amassed four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Friday's 83-72 victory over Texas.
Impact Okpara has taken just six shots over his last two games combined, and predictably, it's led to a drop in production. He's scored four points in two straight games, but he at least had a better performance in the quarterfinals than he did in the regular season finale, when he fouled out after just 17 minutes. Tennessee doesn't need Okpara to be the most assertive scorer, but for an offense that can get stuck in the mud at times, it would certainly behoove the Volunteers if Okpara was a little more aggressive in the paint.

Arthur Kaluma - Cold from the floor Kaluma totaled seven points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 83-72 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Kaluma had scored in double figures in six straight games for the Longhorns, but that changed in the loss to Tennessee. There's no shame in struggling to score against a Rick Barnes-coached defense, but this loss may have derailed Texas' NCAA Tournament chances. Kaluma was also limited on the glass, grabbing just two rebounds, his lowest total since he matched that number on Jan. 15.
