I wonder why the MVC Player of the Week spent the entire 2nd half of the Loyola game on the bench!

Coach Wardle answered that in the postgame press conference-
When asked in the postgame news conference why Childs didn't play after halftime, Wardle responded, "Just a coach's decision." When asked what prompted that decision, Wardle repeated, "Coach's decision."
