For about a minute in the 1st half he played.

I'm starting to think that his ankle thing is a little more serious than we've been told.

He got in at the end too. Looked a little rusty. Apparently earlier in the year he suffered a high ankle sprain that turned into a bit of a nagging injury. Then Lucas started clicking and it looks like he's fallen back on the depth chart.

He's a good kid. Bad luck for him.

There was a quote by Shane Battier, I know I hate Duke too, but think it fits this scenario. "It is my job to play so hard the coach has no choice but to play me!" This has been Lucas the past month or so. He has been playing at such a high level I do not think Hunter can break through. Jamari has been playing with that type of energy as well. I like Hunter, but i just think between the injury and the play of others he has fallen out of the rotation.

Spot on, Minerscoach and NotO.

Landen's emergence might be sad for Hunter, but it's been nothing but good news for this KU team.

PS: at some point in the tourney, Hunter could be needed for some very important sub minutes. So he just needs to keep working, remain prepared, and contribute mightily when called on.
