Dougie is an outrageous, scoring machine. Sometimes he ain't pretty, but he sure puts the ball in the hole.

Nebraska's defense on him was awful. Mainly it was due to not having anyone, who could guard him. Duh.



You got most of that right except the first part....The Jays are not a one man team. He's good/great but we have more weapons than Doug on any given night.

Ive only seen CU play once this year. Are they making more of an effort to get Echenique involved in the offense this year?

As much as I'm sure he wants to get back on the court today, it might be in his best interest to shut it down.

I wonder who gets the minutes in his absence. Freshman Nevin Johnson might be the recipient although Coach has really shortened his bench already this year so who knows?

I think Dingman will be the first one up to get Jones' minutes but Johnson might sneak some in as well.

No.


Last few games he has taken over and that will only continue. Then you can compare a whole year to the few games played so far.
