A good rest for our guys. I don't know if Darryn can come back by the third of January. He will be practicing, lifting, and rehabbing. After evaluation he may or may not be on a minute restriction and he likely will be tentative until he gets bodied up. We on the other hand will be hoping he doesn't get his quad or hammy hurt. Any coach wants to win and Bill said he played Darryn a few more minutes than he had planned. NC State was really good and for that matter UCF presents their own challenge and doesn't mind a shootout. The top of the polls, the ESPN analytics, BPI and Ken Pom lists are littered with BIG 12 teams. This time of the season and after a few more weeks will be littered with great records gone bad. Welcome to 2026.
