Torey Alston’s demeanor struck me on Monday after the junior forward and MTSU transfer led @VCU_Hoops past Little Rock with his 17-pt, 12-reb double-double 🐏🏀⚫️🟡 @RTDSports
His performance was loud — alley-oop and put-back slams, emphatic blocks, rugged post play.
His bashful, self-effacing, humble personality displayed in the postgame presser stands in contrast.
"He's just a very easy person to root for, in whatever realm, not just basketball.”

Have confirmed that it is a left knee injury for Tillery, and Martelli expects him to be available by the Santa Clara game on Nov. 19. That would mean a two-week absence with Tillery only out for Saturday’s game at Memphis and next Wednesday’s home game vs. NJIT. Incredibly positive outlook after how bad it looked and sounded on Monday @RTDSports

Coach Martelli just confirmed that, after test results came back, it is a strain for Tillery and he will miss “a couple weeks” but no longer than that @RTDSports
