He’s come out a couple times during timeouts, but has kept going back to get worked on.

Loose play everywhere… trying to give this one away. Thanks God we shot it well…

Wang at the 5 with Diaz-Graham on the bench……Bukky has a 4” height advantage, need to take advantage of that and get him some post touches or lob dunk opportunity over the top.

Sounds like it is.

They can’t slow down Mahi.

Where are you hearing this? The guys on the call haven’t acknowledged his injury since it happened.

Midwest is likely at the game and sees Graves for himself.

Shocker. Oboye fouls out with 4 minutes remaining.

4 minutes left, up 15 points. Is there anything wrong with burning clock from this point on?

Thought Bukky was doing well with no fouls at halftime. He got all 5 in the 2nd half.

Let’s finish this off. Sweat free win in Memorial without Graves would be fantastic. Not optimistic we have him Wednesday but that’s with no inside information.

Happy for Frances that he got some run. Made a couple nice passes and earned two fouls that helped us get into the bonus early in the half. Guy hasn’t played meaningful minutes in 2 months. That’s what it’s all about.

Great game for Mahi. He makes it look so easy that I wonder why it doesn’t happen more often.

You could tell the guys loved the support. Can’t wait for Wednesday!

Hearing high ankle sprain for Alan. Unlikely to play against St. Mary’s. Coaches hoping for a miraculous recovery

That would put WCC Tourney in doubt too I think. Bummer.

Now that I think about it, if it’s high ankle, that might be the season.

Totally deflating if Graves is out for an extended period of time. Even the mildest high ankle sprains are usually 1 to 3 weeks.

On the positive side, Mahi was awesome tonight…and that is 3 games in a row for Darlan without a turnover.

Coach has managed to age backwards in the last couple of seasons. You can tell he put real effort into loosening up and learning to have fun with his players.
