Furman vs. The Citadel, January 8, 2011

Graham saw his first action in a Southern Conference game as the Paladins (11-4, 3-1) pulled away from the Bulldogs (5-11, 1-3) in the second half to post an 88-67 victory. Walk-on time came with 0:48 remaining in the game, and officially Graham logged one more minute of playing time. He nearly missed his chance, as Coach Jeff Jackson called down the bench several times for "Grizz" (a short form of Graham's team nickname, Grizzy), and Graham thought he was calling for teammate "Chris" Toler--until Jackson barked out "Graham!"
