Diarra - Played 35 minutes with a noticeable spring back in his step

Played 35 minutes with a noticeable spring back in his step. Three blocked shots. Hopefully he's on the back end of what has been bothering him.

Yep, and he was attacking the rim again which we haven't see much of late. Hopefully he will continue to get healthier as we will need him to score more with bringing his great D.

Good news indeed, but I'd feel better if we were able to play him in the 25 min range with a big lead and get Nowell some burn to keep from re-injuring it

He looked a lot better. A lot. His speed was back and he was finishing at the rim. We really need that.

One thing I noticed his lateral defensive quickness is still not back to where it used to be. If he gets that back, that would be a major help.

I just hope HD’s not losing confidence in his three point shot. He’s definitely been hesitating when open these last couple of games.

It seems like he has as I even noticed when he is wide open at the 3 point line he is getting the ball out of his hands to another teammate. I guess he doesn't feel like he can take the big shot due to his outside shooting slump.

He caught in pass in a fast transition last night in what looked like fast forward. It was high level.

If wide open at the line he needs to take and make some of those 3’s.

If there was a worthy appreciation thread, it’s for Hass. The kid is leaving it all on the floor for this program, hobbled or not. We will miss him next year.

He looked better. I still saw some hobbling moments on D. But he was more effective and that's more important. He drew that huge charge at the end.

He also played some stifling D late in the game....including 1 possession where he almost stripped the ball from his guy and it ended in 'nova tossing up a last second desperation 3 that airballed.
