Dontarious James

[Olsingledigit]

Does anyone know what happened to Dontarious James yesterday? He was not even on the bench. Is he injured? No mention in the post game. Maybe something was said before the game.

I can't give the answer, but after 6 pts & 8 boards vs St Johns he got very minimal time vs Seton Hall. He finally broke out vs St Johns & then went back to his almost non-existent role. There is always that transfer portal available. Everybody keeps talking about our Core 4, but I wish to mention the Core 5 as Carter gets more playing time than Q or Jones. Everybody other than those 5 may be feeling slighted.

Dont know about James and this is pure speculation on my part, but is there division in the locker rom?

[bleedXblue]

I didn't know that we wasn't on the bench. That's interesting to say the least.

[XUGRAD80]

Possibly sick? There’s a lot of that going around right now.

[markchal]

Huh? Are we sure he wasn't on the bench? I wasn't looking for him, but I thought I remembered seeing him there.

I don't think he's going to be an attitude problem like Bishop, James has always had a pretty good approach, especially after last season. Maybe it was just a personnel/match-up decision that kept him from doing much the last few games, but I think we'll see a lot of him down the stretch.

He was on the bench I believe. He was wearing a navy blue t-shirt over his jersey. I thought he wasn’t on the bench at first, but then noticed he was in the huddle.

We sit in row J behind the X bench and did not see him, but we could have missed him. I feel better (marginally) if he was on the bench. But why not play him, unless he was hurt? He could not have played any worse than some who did play.

Correct. He was wearing a dark-blue warmup. No clue as to why he didn't get a few minutes.

I thought I saw somewhere he may have broken his nose bs SH

Daniel Ramsey was not on the bench for Saturday's game versus Creighton.

It would appear the Don has returned to his spot on the bench next to the walk-ons after his play versus Seton Hall.

[BandDad]

Don was definitely on the bench as he is the "greeter" as the players are introduced. The broken nose is a possibility as he was not shooting any shots at halftime and was standing above the top of the key talking to a couple of people. I would assume Travis will address it in the next coaches show.

Ramsey continues to battle physical issues. In warmups against Seton Hall he was moving very, very gingerly.

So if Q is unavailable and we only have seven guys to play, why is Don not getting any time. He has the best game of his career six games ago and has seen the court for a total of 10 minutes since?

Because he hasn't been good in the other games and in practice. Also, his best game consisted of him shooting 1-4/0-3/4-7, or not good.

[whopper]

in that game I believe he had 7 rebounds and created a little havoc on drives. Not Karl Malone but should see more time but since we are always behind it is hard to work him in. He definitely made a difference

Other than Georgetown, and I don't want to single out and dump on them, but...has Jason Carter been good in all games? Has Q been good in all games? Has Scruggy been good in all games? Has our favorite KyKy been good in all games? Is the practice measuring stick the right one? Is the scoring to determine the outcome of practice results?
All I know is Don James made a significant contribution to the St Johns game. That was six, that's SIX games ago. And he can't see the floor now? Because he wasn't as effective in the next game? He has barely had a chance to show up.
It smacks of some guys being Teacher's Pets while other guys are harshly judged.

There might be a Dontarius sighting tomorrow night with Naji being questionable to play. He tweaked his knee at Creighton and did not practice today per Shannon.

Oh great, so the season is slipping down the cracks, we're desperate for a home win against a beatable opponent, and.....our best player might be out. Wonderful.

"Our best player"......maybe? Our most selfish player. Our most disruptive player. Our laziest player. I think our odds of winning tonight just went up! Kinda' like the idea of Scruggs, KyKy, Tyrique, Freemantle and Moore (to hound Howard) on the floor together, alot. Hate these 8:30 starts but will be there, as always, cheering on my Muskies.

The only good thing about the 8:30 start, which is almost always closer to 8:45, is it’s easier to be there before tipoff. The 6:30 games are tougher with getting out of work early and the traffic on I-75.
