Makes six free throws Rawls (suspension) logged eight points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT) and one assist across 16 minutes during Saturday's 74-69 win over UTEP.
Impact Rawls served his one-game suspension during Western Kentucky's first game of February. The senior came out aggressive during his return, baiting his opponents into fouling so he could go to the free-throw line. While those made up most of his meager point quantity, that could be attributed to a relatively low minute tally, which is expected to increase across future games.

Dontaie Allen will enter the starting five in his place, while it is currently up in the air if Rawls will be cleared to return ahead of Saturday's meeting with UTEP.

Back in transfer portal Rawls entered the transfer portal Saturday, VerbalCommits.com reports.
