Great stuff on an unsung hero on this team. He’s been an emotional leader and is ferocious on defense and when he drives to the basket. 

Side note: Rachel Lenzi has been doing a great job covering us.

Do agree. Dontay has shown senior maturity in all parts of his game. He used to get upset and lose his focus when called for fouls. His offensive game has really been on the upswing. If Harris and Perkins start playing up to their potential along with some free throw shooting improvement from Jordan we should be okay. Go Bulls!!!!

Dontay Caruthers has always had the scoring touch, it just wasn't his role.

He was a tremendous playmaker in high school. It just wasn't necessary for him at Buffalo with guys like CJ Massinburg, Nick Perkins and Jeremy Harris besides him.

He embraced becoming a defensive stopper in order to pick up playing time. Now, with 2/3 of the Bulls "Big 3" struggling, UB has needed him to step up and that's exactly what he's done.

For anyone that has attended a UB practice, it's easy to see he possesses the skills. It's always been about having the opportunity, which he now has.

But he has been one of our best shooters 

This has been the best surprise in this stretch which is a pity so many others around him have been cold. His Defense has always been there in his career but a nice addition with his shooting lately.

He's looking how he looked prior to getting hurt again the Bonnies last season. We're going to need that production from him moving forward.

Saw Paul pecks interview with Nate Oats on Facebook today. Says dontay is dealing with some kind of foot injury and likely won’t play Saturday 

Apparently not as bad as that. He injured himself at practice last Sunday. Hasn’t practiced all week, but has improved significantly. May play today.

Crazy he played the whole game haha. I guess he recovered really quickly because he didn’t seem bothered at all. Meanwhile CJ definitely wasn’t 100%. Maybe it’s all just a mental game Oats plays with opponents Belichick style haha

Crazy how good and how long Caruthers played. In the warmups he did not shoot or run around much and was talking to the trainer a number of times. He did lock down their two top guards when he was guarding them. CJ’s right shoulder was definitely bothering him as he was moving and flexing it during the game and had an ice pack on it on the bench. Still a total lack of confidence with Harris on 3 pointers. We will need all three of these players the rest of the way to finish first in conference play. Go Bulls!!!!
