<h2>Is Darrion Williams Playing Today?</h2>
After missing Texas Tech&#8217;s Big 12 Tournament semifinal loss to Arizona, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/cbb/players/darrion-williams/15740">Darrion Williams&#8217;s</a> (lower leg) status remains unclear coming into the tournament&#8217;s opening round. Coach Grant McCasland was optimistic but non-committal about his junior forward&#8217;s availability against UNCW. The Raider bench boss opined, &#8220;I do know that they’re hard at work and trying to get specifically Darrion and Chance (McMillian) ready to go.” Stay tuned closer to tip time.
