Because Gates commitment to getting him into games really hurt us often this year. It just completely killed the offense anytime he was on the court pretty much all season.
I don't understand how he kept getting critical minutes this year and seemingly every time he did, we lost.
I can think of 3 times that Gates went to him either early or in crunch time and in all 3 of them (Texas, Tennessee and Drake) he messed up the offensive flow and we ended up losing momentum and eventually the ballgame.

There is no evidence this happened in the game logs yesterday. The first time he was on the court for more than one possession didn't happen until 13 minutes left in the game when Mizzou was scoring a point per minute. His two runs of time in the second half corresponded with no decrease in productivity on offense and his plus/minus was flat.
