Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 3778966, member: 7806"] Here's a few reasons that ultimately added up to Brendan getting the minutes he got: #1- 4th game of the season after a 17-day layoff against one of the best offensive teams in the Big East...need someone who will be as reliable and stout as possible on defense. Adams wins this over Jackson & it's not even close #2- Foul troubles and situational matchups as the game progressed #3- Offensive-wise, it became clear that it was less important to have another offensive threat out there given that Bouk was having his way vs. pretty much anything Creighton threw at him. Jackson wasn't going to solve our 3-point woes during the game, nor was his *potential* better passing abilities going to have any signifincantly tangible influence on how our offensive game plan was progressing thru the game (Bouk show) I'm as big a Adams fan as any on this board, but I think he will start to see fewer minutes in the upcoming few games based on lower-quality opponents and situational matchups that may favor Jackson (and Martin, Gaffney). The only thing that might change this is if he catches fire from beyond the arc. I'm always hopeful, but can only be cautiously optimistic [/QUOTE]
