Blue Cain - Multi-category contributor Cain contributed 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's 83-71 victory over LSU.
Impact Cain logged his second straight game with multiple three-pointers, doing just enough to help the Bulldogs snap a three-game losing streak and even their record at 5-5 in SEC play. The recent three-point success has been a positive sign given Cain is shooting a career-low 26.6 percent from distance (though he is scoring at a career-high pace of 13.2 ppg). Next up is a tough home matchup against Florida on Wednesday, but one that could also be a massive resume-building opportunity if Georgia is able to pull the big upset.

Max Mackinnon - Nets 26 points, four assists Mackinnon amassed 26 points (7-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 10-10 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes during Saturday's 83-71 loss to Georgia.
Impact Mackinnon has been by far the steadiest Tiger in this disappointing season. He has scored in double digits in 14 straight games and fell one point shy of his season high. The 6-6 senior set season highs in both free throw attempts and makes. He is converting 92.1 percent of his free throws along with 39.6 percent of his 3-pointers. LSU hosts Arkansas on Tuesday. Mackinnon had 14 points in the Jan. 24 loss to the Razorbacks.

Pablo Tamba - Grabs 12 rebounds Tamba provided seven points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 83-71 loss to Georgia.
Impact Tamba has started every game for the Tigers and has been an opportunistic rebounder. He had a season-high six offensive rebounds against the Bulldogs and played at least 35 minutes for the third time in the last four games. The Tigers host Arkansas on Tuesday. Tamba had 12 points and 10 rebounds in the Jan. 24 loss to the Razorbacks.

Kanon Catchings - Scores team-high 23 points Catchings provided a season-high 23 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 83-71 win over LSU.
Impact Catching has scored 20 points or more three times, all in SEC play. The Bulldogs were able to snap a three-game losing streak. The 6-9 sophomore has converted 53,7 percent of his field goals and averaged 19.7 points over his last three games. Georgia plays Florida on Wednesday. Catchings had 12 points and six rebounds in the Jan. 6 loss to the Gators.

Justin Abson - Stars, snags seven boards Abson chipped in six points (2-2 FG, 2-6 FT) and seven rebounds across 21 minutes during Saturday's 83-71 victory over LSU.
Impact Abson made his first start of the season as Somto Cyril came off the bench. The 6-9 senior was one point and one rebound shy of his season high as he received a bit more playing time. Cyril will likely start on Wednesday against Florida, so Abson will head back to the bench.

Somto Cyril - Scores 12 off bench Cyril had 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-8 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 17 minutes during Saturday's 83-71 victory over LSU.
Impact Cyril was a game-time decision with an undisclosed injury and came off the bench for the first time this season. He was limited to nine minutes in the Jan. 31 loss to Texas A&M and may have missed some practice time during the week. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Justin Abson. As long as he is able to return to practice fully, the Bulldog center should be back in the starting lineup Wednesday against Florida.
