2026 Men's NCAA Tournament Projections: Nebraska Jumps to No. 1 Seed, Michigan Falls

Ja'Kobi Gillespie - Scores 18, nabs six steals Gillespie logged 18 points (5-19 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and six steals over 48 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 87-82 2OT win over Texas A&M.

Impact Gillespie equaled his worst shooting game of the season and has hit just 8-of-29 (27.6 percent) in his last two games. The guard has scored at least 12 points in his last eight games and has continued to facilitate the offense with 5.5 dimes in that span. Gillespie also has 13 steals in his last four games. He will contribute, even when his shot isn't falling.

Bishop Boswell - Snags 11 boards in dub-dub Boswell ended with 13 points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Tuesday's 87-82 2OT win over Texas A&M.

Impact Boswell scored in double digits for just the second time and improved his highest rebound total by three. He had only topped 27 minutes once previously in the season. The 6-4 sophomore still did not shoot much in the double-overtime win, but made his hay at the free throw line. He is averaging 6.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

Felix Okpara - Provides double-double Okpara finished with 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-5 FT) and 12 rebounds over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 87-82 2OT win over Texas A&M.

Impact Okpara provided his first double-double of the season. He had not scored in double digits since Nov. 24. The 6-11 senior has started ever game, but his offensive opportunities are limited. His numbers are down modestly from his junior season, mainly because fewer shots are falling (51.7 percent). The Volunteers play Kentucky on Saturday. Okpara had one of his better games of last season with eight points and 11 rebounds in the Sweet 16 win over the Wildcats.

Nate Ament - Finishes with 23 points Ament closed Tuesday's 87-82 2OT win over Texas A&M with 23 points (7-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 43 minutes.

Impact Ament scored 10 of his points in the two overtime periods to help the Volunteers win for the second time in the last three games. The freshman continues to struggle from downtown and has only hit 2-of-14 (14.3 percent) over his last five games. He has found other ways to score, including getting to the free throw line. Ament is hitting 75.4 percent of his freebies and averaging 15.4 points.

Last Night in College Basketball: LSU Stuns Texas in Upset-Full Weekend

Bishop Boswell - Modest contributions for Vols Boswell recorded four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 91-67 loss to Florida.

Impact Boswell has made 12 starts in 13 appearances for the Vols, serving as the primary shooting guard alongside point guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie. He rarely lights up the box score, but the sophomore still is a steady contributor, with averages of 6.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.7 steals over his last 10. Turnovers hadn't been an issue until Saturday, when he doubled his previous season-worst mark, though it seems unlikely one bad outing would cause him to start ceding more time to the likes of Amaree Abram and Troy Henderson, his two primary backups.

DeWayne Brown II - 10 points in two straight Brown finished with 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-3 FT) and four rebounds over 19 minutes during Saturday's 91-67 loss to Florida.

Impact Brown has now made six consecutive starts for Tennessee, taking the spot of Cade Phillips following his season-ending shoulder injury. Over that span, the four-star freshman is posting 6.5 points and 5.5 rebounds across 18.7 mpg, as he's still sharing time at power forward with Jaylen Carey and Felix Okpara, which ultimately limits his overall fantasy utility, but gives him solid experience to build on.

Nate Ament - Scores 17 in loss Ament supplied 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Saturday's 91-67 loss to Florida.

Impact The 6-10 freshman had his best scoring game since November. In his previous seven games, he had been held to 11.1 points and had converted just 21.7 percent of his 3-pointers. Although the Volunteers got blown out, it was good to see Ament score a little better. Tennessee returns home to face Texas A&M on Tuesday.

Ja'Kobi Gillespie - Explodes for 34 points Gillespie recorded a career-high 34 points (12-18 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 85-71 win over Texas.

Impact Gillespie had his second 30-point game of the season and is averaging 18.7 points (fifth in the SEC). He has scored at least 14 points in his last six games and has hit multiple 3-pointers in each of those contests. The 6-1 senior is converting 36.4 percent of his 3-pointers on 7.9 long-range attempts. Tennessee takes on Florida on Saturday. The Gators ended up Gillespie's 2024-25 season in the NCAA Tournament, when the guard was with Maryland. He had 17 points before fouling out.

2026 Men's NCAA Tournament Projections: Nebraska's Rise Continues, Now a No. 2 Seed

J.P. Estrella - Good to go Tuesday Estrella (undisclosed) is available against Texas on Tuesday night.

Impact Estrella was a question mark heading into this clash with the Longhorns, but the bench forward, who averages 10.4 points and 4.9 rebounds, will be good to go.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Felix Okpara - Good to go Okpara is available for Tuesday's game against Texas.

Impact Okpara was previously considered probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. The senior center is averaging 7.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game this season. He has started in all 14 of his appearances.
