Basketball: Thursday Press Conference Quotes + Audio

Posted Nov 5, 2009
On Will Graves’ back injury: “Will’s going to have back issues for quite awhile. He’s had four shots in the back, and he’s got the vicious cycle again. His weight is up, so he can’t condition and his back is hurting. But is his back hurting because his weight is up a little bit? So it’s a little bit of both there. He’s going to have those problems and he’s just got to fight through it and lose some weight." (Inside Carolina)
