BDJ

[B Clone]

Being at the game tonight, coming out after halftime, I noticed McKay with his arm around BDJ. BDJ then went to the bench and sat while rest of the team warmed up. A couple assistant coaches spoke with him as he sat on the bench and he finally went out and warmed up with the team with 1:30 before the 2nd half began. I don't believe he played in the second half, not sure what happened, just seemed odd.

We were on a 22-0 run, I'd stick with those guys

I honestly felt awful for him. They panned on him a couple of times and just looked really bummed. He's going to go ape **** in Kansas City.

He did not play in the second half. It'll be interesting to see how much he plays on Saturday.

 

[Final42b]

He had a positive tweet after the game, so I don't think he's too upset

He looked dissappointed walking to the locker room but I can't blame him or Fred. Gotta go with the hot hands. I think BDJ will be just fine and he'll play a big role in the coming weeks.

I noticed that too. I imagine it's tough for him to get that few of minutes.

I ****ed up the copying and pasting, but you get the idea. I know he's had a few rough games, but he was playing so efficiently right after becoming the 6th man. I think (and hope) he gets back to that once we get into the tournaments.

Yes, because clearly twitter is a great insight to how somebody is feeling.

Need BDJ down the stretch. NEED him.

But we need him to play HOIBALL. When he does that, he's a force.

As far as name-only threads go...this one will have potential.

But it will never touch the "Stensland" thread.

I wonder if there was something else going on. Museburger said something around the 13 min mark in second half that he wasn't coming back in. Seemed really odd for a statement like that with so much time left.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Thought he handled it well, especially with it being senior night.

Whatever it is, we need him to be the best option off the bench. Thomas and Nader are not going to cut it imo.

 

[Sigmapolis]

He had 16 against UT in Austin less than two weeks ago.

I can't think he's "done" at this point, can I?

 

[stateofmind]

During the BU game they were stretching him out after half instead of warming up. I would guess he's having back spasms. His time has gone down since he landed hard in the first half of that game. He was a stud defending that night.

Noticed that as well, but just thought it was speculation.

I would have to think it's physical at this point.

Everybody has reported him only as the best of teammates late this year.

Someone in stands near me said he rolled his ankle. Not sure of his source.

 

[carvers4math]

I think we need him to make a run in March. He is a very good defender and rebounder even when his shot is off.

 

[Cyientist]

Unless he did something in the locker room at halftime, I don't think his 1st half play should have warrented a benching. I'm guessing something physical, but I am hoping he gets it going. I think he has gotten a bad rap from some fans.
