Mills now 6/8 on triples for 18 first half points! He is putting on a long distance shooting display so far - hopefully he can keep it up. However he has missed every single 2-point attempt in the game - go figure!
3:06 left in 1st half with Gael's leading 34-28.

On ESPN coversation there is talk Mill's has injured his right-hand/wrist going into the half time break. Apparently he was seen to be having it wrapped up at the half time break. Hopefully he comes out for the second half.

Mills has started the second half on the bench and talk is he is out for the rest of the game. Let's hope otherwise.

Mills is definitely out of action and has not played a minute uin the 2nd half.
In that time, the Gael's now trail the Bulldogs 48-58 with 7:22 remaining in the game. Gonzaga's biggest lead of the game.
Aussie Lucas Walker has now hit the court for the first time in this game.
Steindl is 0/6 from the field, including 0/3 from downtown.
Not looking good for the Gael's or Mills.

Mills did not play a second after the main break and his Gael's did not react well to losing their best player.
Gonzaga overturned the half time deficit and ended up running out comfortable winners,
Mills still led all scorers with 18 points despite not seeing action in the 2nd half.
Lucas Walker played his best game of the season coming off the bench. He hit 9 points on 4/7 shooting to go with 3 rebounds.
Steindl on the other hand arguably played his worst game as a Freshman. He went 0/7 for the game.

Patty will be out for at least 4 weeks. His absnece will really hurt the Gael's.

Every dark cloud has its silver lining. Look how his team fared without him. Surely NBA scouts will look at that as a positive.
Good luck to the kid. Hope he recovers fast.
