Akron drive-in delivers to Wichita State locker room rewarding Darius Carter

Carter grew up in nearby Akron and earlier in the week he said he was hoping someone would bring him some food from one of his favorite hometown eateries, Swenson's Drive Ins. The restaurant got word of Carter's craving.

Darius Carter scored a career-best 22 points with eight rebounds against the Fighting Irish. While his effort didn't result in a win, he at least had the comfort of some of his favorite grub to ease the pain. FOX Sports Ohio had visual evidence.
