Allen Graves - Puts up 17 in loss Graves finished with 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 89-84 OT loss to Kentucky.

Impact The junior shot well and contributed all over the floor Friday, but his effort wasn't quite enough to secure the upset in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. In his third season at Santa Clara, Ensminger averaged more minutes per game, 28.8, than in either of his previous two campaigns. He also started all 32 games he played in.
