Healthy scratch Saturday Shaw was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 63-52 loss to Mississippi State, Drew King of Rivals reports. Impact Since starting a pair of games Jan. 21 and 24 for the Tigers, Shaw has seen his minutes decrease to single digits in back-to-back contests. His absence Saturday was apparently matchup related, as head coach Dennis Gates wanted to use Kobe Brown at power forward, which mean more minutes for Mohamed Diarra at center (as well as a few for Mabor Majak). Diarra's return appears to be eating into Shaw's minutes significantly, and the 6-8 freshman was already a player on the fringes of fantasy relevance.
