Really nice stretch in the first half. Great to see

No doubt about it. I would like to see more of him in future games.

I don't get why DJ comes into the game, gives us some great minutes and then spends the rest of the time on the bench?

Key tonight. After Booker got under control, he was big too.

Nice to see bench presence.

Lattin helped in second half once he got wet behind ears.

DJ played great. Why does he not get many minutes? I think part of it is that Kruger doesn't want Thomas and Spangler out of the game at the same time. That means it's really down to Lattin and DJ. I think Kruger has tried to get Lattin as many minutes this year as possibe at the expense of DJ's minutes. Kruger is always thinking about the future as well as winning games.

I'm with you guys though -- I'd like to see a little more of DJ as well. He always gives us quality minutes. He kept us in the game at KU, he had a big offensive rebound and bucket late at Texas Tech as well. He deserves more credit and a little more time on the court as well!

He played real well BUT I think what got his butt on the bench is when he came back in and they passed him the ball and he jacked up a 14 footer. He came out pretty quick after that and the funny thing is the next time down the floor Woodard wouldn't even look his way although he was open, lol. He does some good stuff though most of the time.

After 2 games of coming in and giving a quality couple of first half minutes, why is he not getting a couple more minutes? I love Lattin and his potential and I understand wanting to get him experience at the highest level, but hasn't DJ earned a little more time?

I realize Lattin isn't playing many minutes either, but I think DJ should see a few more minutes to give Tay and/or Spangler a little more of a break throughout the game.

That's def not his game.. but that shot looked really nice and barely rimmed out.. i don't think he got pulled for that

Lattin doesn't really look for his shot as compared to earlier in the season, although in the last game you could tell it crossed his mind briefly on one occasion, which he then deferred and passed the ball instead.
