Labaron Philon Jr. - Puts up 21 points, five dimes Philon had 21 points (8-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 92-88 loss to Texas.
Impact Philon stretched his streak of scoring at least 17 points to nine games. He has struggled from long range of late and is just 2-of-16 (12.5 percent) on 3-pointers in three SEC games. The sophomore guard only has nine assists in conference play. He will look to play a bit better on Tuesday against Mississippi State. Philon averaged 7.5 points and 3.5 assists in a pair of wins over the Bulldogs last season.

Aiden Sherrell - Scores 13 in loss Sherrell (knee) ended with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 92-88 loss to Texas.
Impact Sherrell sat out the Tide's loss to Vanderbilt on Wednesday, but was able to play his usual complement of minutes as the team lost consecutive games for the first time this season. The 6-11 sophomore scored in double digits for just the second time in his last nine games. He is averaging 9.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks (second in the SEC).

Jordan Pope - Equals season-high 28 points Pope registered 28 points (8-17 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 92-88 win over Alabama.
Impact Pope shrugged off a mini-slump in which he only scored nine points on 25.0 percent from the field and 10.0 percent on 3-pointers in the Longhorns' first two conference losses. Texas is 3-0 when the 6-1 senior scores at least 20 points. Pope averaged 12.5 points in a split against undefeated Vanderbilt, Texas' next opponent, last season.

Lassina Traore - Snags eight boards Traore finished with seven points (2-3 FG, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 22 minutes during Saturday's 92-88 victory over Alabama.
Impact The 6-10 senior had his most productive game in conference play as Texas outrebounded Alabama, 48 to 38. He had only provided a combined four points and five rebounds in the Longhorns' first two conference losses. Traore has grabbed double-digit rebounds in four games and has double-double. He is averaging 4.4 points and 6.5 rebounds.
