Update-Waterfords DJ

[rickoshay]

In a pre-season exhibition game between UNC Ashville and Brevard, DJ Cunningham was 4-7 from the field, had 3 rebounds in 20 mins. of action.

In UNC Ashville's season opener vs Charlotte, DJ was 4-4 for 8 points and three rebounds in thirteen minutes of playing time.
Charlotte won the game 86-70.

If you ask me, thats a very good start for a college freshman.

Best of luck to D. J. and his teammates as the season progresses.

... keep us posted on his play ... sounds like he is doing well ... PT will keep going up if he continues to produce ... best of luck to DJ ...

In a game vs #10 ranked Tennessee DJ was 0-4 from the field, and 4-4 free throws, and three rebounds in 20 minuts of playing time.
By the way Tenn. won the game 124-49.
This is usually what happens when you play the big boys.
But, also makes lots of money for the athletic department.

In DJ's latest game against Kentucky (6-0), he got to start, and played 19 minutes before fouling out.
He had four points, seven rebounds, three blocked shots, and one turnover.
Pretty good showing for a freshman playing against an undefeated Kentucky team.
Ky. won the game by about 20 points.

Sounds like he is doing very well for a Freshman, coaches must like him if he is getting in nearly half the game

In UNC Ashville'S latest game, against Garner Webb DJ had eight points on 2-7 from the field, 4-4 free throws, no rebounds,

and four personal fouls in 20 minuts of playing time.

In every game DJ has at least four fouls in about twenty minuts of playing time.

Aggressive play, or the other teams just going at the Freshman???
