It’s the story of Mar’s career. It plagued him freshman year and only seems to have gotten worse. Calixte as well. Neither have really been able to hit a shot this year either. Very concerning. I know DP doesn’t like switching up the starters, but I’d have to think Oduro might start getting some looks if Greg can’t start finishing off the bunnies at the rim. At a minimum he’ll see more minutes.
Javon was hitting like 38% of his 3s before this game, though. It doesn't help almost all our 3s have been way behind the arc in this half.
Definitely Paulsen's. If you put a Jenkins or a Shevon Thompson next to an AJ on this team and you might have something, but AJ is going to leave before that happens.
This game's margin is pretty much at the FT line: 13 for Mason, 25 for UMD. If this team were more patient on offense and played more controlled on defense, this would be a game.
Or a George Evans... Hell, I'd take another Darryl Monroe (who is a poor man's Jai) or even another Mike Moe (tall, lanky and super athletic and can defend and rebound his butt off, but raw offensively -- Calixte is not acquitting himself on the defensive side of the ball this season).
