"'That was really impressive,' Paulsen said. 'He's just playing at an incredibly high level. That's the best he's shared the ball at Penn plus the rebounding, getting to the rim, getting to the foul line.

'The big thing is that he's really embraced attacking at practice. His work ethic in practice is like night and day from what it was last year. That's allowed him to not get tired in games. If you're going every play in practice like it's a game, then you can do it in a game. You're not saving yourself and picking your spots.'

Moore doesn't rest on defense. He invariably draws the assignment of guarding the opposition's best perimeter player. 'That's just really, really good,' Paulsen said of Moore's overall performance."


'The biggest thing happening now is Otis and Marquise are starting to play off one another,' Paulsen said. 'Early in the year, one guy had the ball and maybe that didn't help the other guy play better. And now Marquise gets it in the paint, penetrates and kicks it to Otis or Otis drives and gives it to Marquise.

It allows us to get a running game going with two point guards like that. I think their level of communication and synergy -- if you will -- is good, way better than it was. Still I think there's room to improve.'"

Paulsen drills defense in every practice. 'We had a day last week in practice and for 20-25 minutes we played the best defense of any team I've ever coached,' Paulsen said. 'We had a day in practice at the (Penn) Palestra on Friday after a long bus ride. It was cold as ice in the Palestra, but they practiced really well. That's what allows you to play with this success.'"

"Maybe Paulsen is superstitious. But Livingston's free throw streak and the team's win streak have been built with hard work and relentless attention to detail, not superstition."

Another very, very strong double double for MM. congrats to him for keeping it up.

Side note: during the kentucky/lousiville game last night they mentioned someone on Kentucky got a triple double this year, and it was only the 2nd or 3rd in school history. The announcers went on to say that it is extremely hard to get a triple double in college hoops. I mention this because I was initially surprised Moore's triple double was the first in GMU hoops history, but knowing Kentucky has only had it happen 2-3 times really puts the accomplishment into perspective.

That Kentucky player is De'Aaron Fox, a freshman point guard.
