JJJ benched for bad practice - WOJO post game

[MUMonster03]

Hasn't entered game and was on bench with ice on knees. Also only played 12 against creighton.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Either that or he's in the doghouse.

[AirPunches]

More like he hurt the team in his 12 minutes against Creighton.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

He played poorly against Creighton and we're clicking well without him today. Its probably as simple as that

[MUMonster03]

I doubt Wojo would only go 7 deep for that reason. It's asking a lot and could screw us if we get in foul trouble.

Especially with Juan having 3.

He has 3?  I thought 2.

[jsglow]

Matt V said no injury in the jsonline blog.  Shocked that he didn't come in when Duane picked up two quick fouls in the final couple minutes.

[forgetful]

He's got 3, but apparently one of the fouls that looked like it was on Duane was called on Carlino.  So only Juan (3) and Fischer (2) are in foul trouble.

[MUMonster03]

Whatever the reason for the DNP fouls may be about to sink us.

[willie warrior]

Fischer has to learn to kick it back out instead of forcing in the lane. That being said, when he isn't in there we are in a world of hurt.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Velaquez says it's a coach's decision. No word on why.

[Afroman]

Unless he killed someone, you can't sit someone WHEN YOUR TEAM HAS EIGHT PLAYERS! Punish him by running sprints until he pukes.

JJJ plays .. scores 4-6+ points .. soaks up 15 minutes other guys can rest .. that would swing the game.

Truly sad. Top 30 player gets DNP-CD with so few bodies

Maybe, or he misses 3 ill advised threes, gets lost on defense, and turns the ball over 4 times and we lose by 10. It's impossible to say. I trust Wojo had his reasons for keeping him out.

Hard to say "sad" when you don't know why he was sitting.  Hope he's able to roar back for St. John's though.

You simply can't say that.  We don't know why coach sat him.  Perhaps Homer will ask.  But to claim he would have turned the game is absurd.

So you know why he was DNP?

I think he's saying IF we got that out of him, it would have. Given the foul trouble and bad D in the 2nd, I don't think its absurd.

[WarriorFan]

I hope it's not grades.  He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.  What if he's out for the semester?

[jsglow]

I will say that he didn't look happy sitting on the bench.  I suppose that can be taken two ways.  He might have been unhappy with coach or he might have been unhappy with the situation knowing exactly why he was nailed there.

But the word IF doesn't appear in his post.  Stand by my comment.

Great.  Let's disparage the guy.  

If he were out due to grades, it would have been announced long before the second semester started.

What an idiotic statement. How in the hell do you know how smart he is?
