Yes, making one basket in 7 minutes is cooling off. He became much less aggressive on the offensive end. Maybe Boeheim decided to rest him because he thought he was tired, or maybe he was trying to send a message that if he's not going to be aggressive then he's not going to be out on the floor. Or maybe, as I said, he had played the first 12 minutes of the half and had earned a rest, and then a few minutes later it didn't really matter who was on the floor because the game wasn't really in question.

Triche is, in my opinion, at worst, our second best guard. So this is no knock against him. He had a really great 2-minute run in the second half, but I'm not sure that means he has to play every minute of the rest of the game. What if he had continued to cool off and not scored the rest of the half?

When he left the game we were up 9. We won by 14. What metric would you like to use to tell me that sitting him was a mistake? Your gut feeling?
