Dan Patrick

I mean, it's like trying to guard a bowling ball coming down the alley at you.

And he's an amazing scorer.

His defense was questionable, but...

uh he couldn't afford to foul out you know they had to keep him on the floor and if i were him i probably would have done the same thing but he's tough as nails he played through injury throughout the whole year never tapped out um you know there are a bunch of guys that that you're you don't have a lot of questions about the only you know some of the questions are like

There's this lingering thing in your mind about Peterson because of the cramping issue.

But it was solved by the end of the year.

I think it was the last eight or nine games, whatever it was.

He averaged 32 minutes a game.

That was not an issue.

And if anybody questions it, go back and watch

the BYU at Kansas game, where he had 18 points in the first half.

He was six of eight, had three steals.

There was no question who the best player on the floor was.

And the cramping thing started at the start of the second half, and he didn't play in the second half.

He played a few possessions, and then he came out and didn't come back in.

One of the questions I asked of myself at the time, because there was not much information.

We weren't being told much, and in the absence of information, people speculate, in my view.

So...

I was thinking, all right, what player that is on his way to 30 plus, maybe 40, in a game of that magnitude is just going to tap out because he doesn't feel like it?

I just don't believe that.
