2015-16 SEASON
With her first rebound at the 8:27 mark of the first quarter against Mississippi State, Graves became the fifth member of the 1000 rebound club in UT history. She also joins Chamique Holdsclaw, Glory Johnson, Shelia Frost and Tamika Catchings as the only players in Lady Vol history to record 1000 points and 1000 rebounds. Ranks 24th in the SEC in points per game (10.4), fifth in rebounds per game (8.4), 10th in free throw percentage (.725), third in offensive rebounds (3.4) and eighth in defensive rebounds per game (4.9). Needs 13 points to pass Dena Head for 22nd all-time at UT in scoring at 1,483 career points.

“Bashaara is a blue-collar worker and exemplifies what a Lady Vol basketball player should be. She has a great work ethic, plays with high energy and is a great team player… She came to college as a block player but through her career has extended her range to the three-point line. She has a high skill set and has worked at her game and continues to get in the gym to perfect her craft.”
-Head Coach Holly Warlick
