GT came out of the halftime break and went on a 12-2 run against us in the first 4 minutes of the half.   Putting us down by 13 points.   Buddy was not on the floor for that.    They put up 34 points the rest of the way, much of which we played at a faster pace than is ideal for us trying to get back into a game that we let slip away coming out of the half.    You can argue that the game slipped away because we didn't prevent them from scoring or because we failed to score, take your pick, but what's it matter -- both are correct to a degree.

There may be some truth to your argument that Buddy is at a disadvantage due to lack of quickness and that he made some mistakes.    But he didn't make any more mistakes than anyone else playing for us yesterday and frankly the ones made by a frosh, whether it be Buddy or Jalen, are less eggregious because they are inexperienced freshman.    You can make an argument that you play experienced players over frosh to avoid those mistakes.   If both the experienced and inexperienced players are making mistakes that argument fails and I think that is what JB was looking at yesterday when he gave Buddy some run and tried to wring some made baskets out of him.

It's not like he played over someone that played better yesterday.   He played because everyone played like dog crap.
