Tennessee’s powerhouse center, Felix Okpara, is a game-time decision for the Vols’ thrilling clash with Texas A&M this Saturday due to a nagging left foot/ankle injury, as reported by the SEC Availability Report. Okpara, who injured his ankle in practice before last week’s Kentucky game, has been battling through the pain, playing in both the Kentucky and Vanderbilt matchups. However, he was noticeably absent during Tennessee’s Friday practice, adding more uncertainty to his status.

Opposing defenses have a tough decision to make when facing the Arkansas Razorbacks: Pick your poison. With the recent surge of Zvonimir Ivisic—or “Big Z”—the Hogs’ offense is becoming a nightmare for anyone in their path, and they may be a team no one wants to face in the NCAA Tournament.

Though comparisons to the likes of Victor Wembanyama or Anthony Davis are premature, Ivisic is showing a similar skill set, with explosive dunks and…
