. Jarnell Stokes is playing like the best big man in the NCAA Tournament.
It's really not close. The 6-foot-8, 260-pound Stokes has propelled Tennessee to three consecutive wins. The big man has posted three straight double-doubles and is averaging 20.3 points and 15.0 rebounds in the field of 68. An effective player in transition, Stokes can beat teams on the break or in the half court.
Michigan will need a strong effort from Jordan Morgan to contain Stokes, who has Tennessee playing at a different level over the past few weeks.
