Or because he knows we may need him the rest of the season due to another's injury that just isn't getting better?

During the game(and I even said it in the game thread) I thought he played him because he was afraid of Steve giving up open 3's to Miles and getting isolated in pick and roll. Archie basically admitted his reasoning/mistake in his quotes from the DDN.
“(St. Joseph’s) had five 3-point shooters out there,” Dayton coach Archie Miller said. “Steve at times is going to be in a position where he’s going to give up 3s. That was the concern going in.”
“The second half, I said the hell with it and let Steve go in there to see if he could make something happen, which he did,” Miller said.
