Nobody played more than 32 minutes against Vandy

Graves and Days being able to score really took the pressure off the starting 5. Vandy is really bad, but the team came out and played with a fire.

The players are in good hands.

Surprising stat. Coaches did a good job rotating players and distributing minutes last night

A couple things to note:

although you can't count on making 3 pt shots, Wade has said in the past that Graves was actually their best shooter.

Days is a big thumper, in addition to apparently having a nice shot. I never worried about his minutes, but it was good to see him score like he did.

Graves didn't look like a walkon, he was competent on the court. He didn't kill you athletically like lots of walkons do, and he seemed like he could absolutely play in a pinch without disaster. And now that he's actually hit some 3's in a live game, he might be a bit of a zone-buster option going forward.
Both those guys played over 20 minutes yesterday.

The only scrub they played was the tall white kid, Reese. They were able to steal 2 minutes without it hurting the team.

One of our best played games of the year, the team and coaches clearly had a fire with al that’s gone down this season and with the SEC championship on the line. Props to them for coming out and doing what we know they’re capable of despite the adversity. Crowd was electric too like I haven’t seen in years in the PMAC.

When the 3s are falling, I am convinced we can play with and beat any team in the country
