Dalton Knecht – Plays through ankle troubleKnecht ended with 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Tuesday’s 87-66 win over George Mason.
Impact Coming off a season-high 37 points, Knecht was actually considered a game-time call for this matchup due to an ankle injury. He ended up drawing the start but matched a season-low minutes total, and his 10 points were the lowest of any single game (an impressive feat in its own right). Look for Knecht to ramp things up a bit when the Vols host Illinois on Saturday.
