    Three cheers for Mr. Jones.

    Q can now start singing...
    "Mr Jones and me...
    We're gonna be big stars"

    All hail the Freshman!
    May God Bless The Man Child that is Tyrique Jones, and May God Bless The United States of America!

    Long time reader on this board and don't post often, but always enjoy some muskie conversation. With that being said, I know Jones starts, but why did he only play 18 minutes? He was completely dominant today against the best big in the BE and I'm so excited about this young man's career at X. Does he lack the stamina? Does he have some hurt knees?

    It seems like his knee issue is lingering. Even that little tap with a fan caused him significant pain.

    Think of it this way. If a guy only plays 6 minutes per game on average, while the guys above him play 19 minutes per game and 15 minutes per game, you aren't going to suddenly put him out there for 25+ because he's having a really good game. Gaston chipped in 19 minutes himself with 5 rebounds to complement 3-4 from the field and 2 blocks. O'Mara didn't really contribute much, but that wasn't really clear to see right away, so he still took 8 of the possible minutes at the 5.

    I think people are having a hard time with how things have changed. From a historical perspective, a bench player having a good game usually leads to more minutes, but for bigs, there is now no flexibility to the 4. All possible minutes are at the 5.

    I agree with the points of how many minutes he averages along with Gaston and Omara as to why he played less. Do you think we gradually keep increasing his minutes to where he can eventually play 20+ minutes/game? Really like what I see out of Jones. The up and under he pulled out today was a thing of beauty.

    A lot of this depends on Gaston and O'Mara. Matchups play into it too.
