Tennessee basketball vs Rice highlights, Vols roll behind Felix Okpara, Jaylen Carey
- On Nov. 17, No. 20 Tennessee routed Rice 91-66 at Food City Center, and sophomore forward J.P. Estrella left with a left leg injury and did not return.
- Showing earlier-season promise, Estrella logged significant impact minutes before the Rice game, collecting bench double-doubles in two of Tennessee's first three games and scoring four points in nine minutes.
- Senior Felix Okpara scored a career-high 20 points with eight rebounds and five offensive boards, while Ja'Kobi Gillespie finished with 17 points and eight assists as Tennessee led 39-26 at halftime.
- The Vols then head to Las Vegas to play Rutgers on Nov. 24 and Houston on Nov. 25 in the Players Era Festival after hosting Tennessee State on Nov. 20.
- With Boswell sidelined again, Tennessee's frontcourt rotation—Estrella, Felix Okpara, Jaylen Carey, Cade Phillips, and DeWayne Brown II—raises depth concerns, especially given Estrella's prior surgery and injury history.
