per the Daily:

Buggs will likely start his third consecutive game on Wednesday against Northwestern after coming into the year as an injured benchwarmer.

After the Iowa game, Pitino said he liked starting Buggs, and he’ll do it more.

“Tonight [was] good for him, kind of having that mini meltdown,” he said. “He’ll grow from it.”

There’s still plenty of room for Buggs to grow. The 6-foot-9-inch Arlington, Texas, native has an NBA body and impressive leaping ability, making him arguably Minnesota’s best athlete.

“It’s not even close. I don’t know who the second-best athlete would be,” Pitino said on Tuesday.
