Seton Hall secures 72-61 victory against Creighton in the Big East Conference Tournament

Led by Adam Clark's 16 points, the Seton Hall Pirates defeated the Creighton Bluejays 72-61 in the Big East Conference Tournament on Thursday

MARCH 12 • Associated Press

Scores 15 in loss to Seton Hall Graves fouled out of Thursday's 72-61 loss to Seton Hall after recording 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists over 24 minutes.

Impact Graves scored 15 points and dished out five assists in Thursday's contest, but it wasn't quite enough to advance in the Big East Tournament. The Bluejays will likely not participate in any postseason tournament, so Graves' collegiate career appears to be over. He spent the first three seasons of his career with Charlotte before transferring to Creighton this season where he averaged 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.7 minutes per game.

Shines in season finale Graves ended with 14 points (3-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds, 13 assists and six steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 76-59 win over Butler.

Impact Graves was excellent in Wednesday's victory as he recorded his first double-double of the season. He recorded a season-high 13 assists and committed just one turnover, and he also doubled his previous season high with six steals. He chipped in 14 points as well but he continued his struggles from the field. Over his last four games he's made just seven of his 41 shots from the field and one of 16 shots from beyond the arc. He will look to get back into rhythm at the Big East Tournament.

Eight assists versus DePaul Graves closed Wednesday's 72-71 loss to DePaul with nine points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and three steals in 30 minutes.

Impact Graves recorded eight assists for just the second time this season Wednesday, chipping in nine points on the offensive end. He did not shoot the ball well though, only hitting one of seven field goal attempts. He had a chance to win the game at the end, but his three-point attempt at the buzzer missed. He's been productive since rejoining the starting lineup on Jan. 31, averaging 11.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists across those four games. He'll look to keep that going Saturday versus Villanova.

Scores 17 versus UConn Graves registered 17 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 85-58 loss to UConn.

Impact Graves made his first start since Dec. 7 Saturday, replacing Ty Davis in the starting five. Graves made his impact felt as he led the Bluejays with 17 points, one of just two to score in double figures. He only needed six field goal attempts to hit that mark as he hit three triples and made all four of his shots from the free throw line. It would not be surprising if he maintained this spot in the starting five moving forward since he was already playing more minutes than Davis and has been making much more of an impact on the court than Davis.
