Yaxel Lendeborg, Michigan Roll Into Final Four After Overwhelming Tennessee

Yaxel Lendeborg scored 27 points, Elliot Cadeau had 10 assists and Michigan rolled into the Final Four by overwhelming Tennessee for a 95-62 victory in the NCAA Tournament

Ja'Kobi Gillespie - Sets Vols steal record Gillespie totaled a team-high 21 points (8-22 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and six steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 95-62 loss to Michigan.

Impact In a game in which Tennessee had little to celebrate, Gillespie set the school's single-season steal record with 79 to pass LaMarcus Golden's 1993-94 season. The guard kept the score close in the early going with a pair of beautiful thefts. The senior guard led the Volunteers with 21.8 points on 43.2 percent from the field in the NCAA Tournament. It will be interesting to see if he gets any play in the 2026 NBA draft.

Nate Ament - Struggles against Wolverine size Ament fouled out of Sunday's 95-62 loss to Michigan after recording seven points (2-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes.

Impact Ament fouled out for the first time this season. The 6-10 freshman just couldn't find his spots against the tough Wolverine defense. In four NCAA Tournament games, the forward averaged 10.3 points on 33.3 percent from the field and 4.3 rebounds. Those numbers were well below his season averages of 17.0 points on 40.5 percent from the field and 6.4 rebounds. Should he test the NBA draft process, Ament will likely be a lottery pick.

NCAA Basketball Tournament Highlights: UConn Holds On, Beats Michigan State

Nate Ament - Scores 18 through foul trouble Ament finished Friday's 76-62 win over Iowa State with 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes.

Impact Ament has not fouled out of a game this season, but had to sit a large portion of the second half after accruing his fourth foul. Despite limited minutes, the 6-10 freshman had an effective game. Against Michigan on Sunday, he will likely be matched up against Yaxel Lendeborg who is of similar size but much stronger. Ament can prove he is ready for the next level by being effective against the huge Wolverines.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Felix Okpara - Scores 12, grabs 10 boards Okpara totaled 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 76-62 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Without Joshua Jefferson, the Cyclones were at a huge size deficit against Tennessee and players like Okpara took full advantage. The Volunteers had a 21-rebound advantage in the game and the 6-11 senior had his second double-double of the season. In the Elite Eight, Tennessee will face Michigan, a team with plenty of size. Okpara will need to particularly effective for the sixth-seeded Volunteers to make it to the Final Four.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Ja'Kobi Gillespie - Scores 16 despite struggles Gillespie registered 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-11 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 76-62 victory over Iowa State.

Impact After going 9-of-16 (56.3 percent) on 3-pointers in the first two games of the NCAA Tournament, Gillespie had one of his worst games from the perimeter and was not able to force his way to the free throw line. He has still scored at least 15 points in his last six games. The 6-1 senior will need to shoot better on Sunday against Michigan for the Volunteers to have a chance of loosening the Wolverine defense.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Jaylen Carey - Goes for double-double Carey provided 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Friday's 76-62 victory over Iowa State.

Impact Carey had his first double-double of the calendar year and fourth of the season. The Volunteers used their advantage in the frontcourt to dominate the boards. The 6-8 junior used some nifty post passing to help Tennessee score in the paint. Carey will come off the bench on Sunday to help the Michigan size in the Elite Eight.
