Welcome Otis Livingston

[mkaufman1]

It was a legit concern mentioned to me by a team manager. Turned out to be fine but was just sharing the info like everyone does on here. Get over it, 100% of the stuff posted by me on here is BS.

Fixed.

"The biggest contrast from preseason expectations. Patriots are riding an eight-game winning streak, including four KenPom top-187 wins. Otis Livingston has two turnovers over his past 132 game minutes."

 

[Vurbel]

Don't worry, there is no injury. Someone posted that he had good information that Otis was injured during the Temple scrimmage before the season started, the post in the Longwood thread was making fun of that "inside information".

The poster who originally posted the completely BS injury rumor has never explained himself and should be ignored by all.

I have too many people on ignore at this point so I can't remember who it was - gmu05 maybe?

Longwood has computers to run a message board? They have electricity now at Longwood?

For games through 12/12/16, Otis is 1st in D-I in FT% - 97.4% (37-38).

Beat you to it, hah!

Post of the year

Joe, have you watched the ESPN documentary "Catholics vs Convicts" yet? I'm not a Notre Dame or Miami fan, and I found it absolutely fascinating — especially new footage that even Lou Holtz and Jimmy Johnson hadn't seen about a huge TD pass (which some might argue makes up for the controversial Cleveland Gary fumble) .

I did watch it, and had the same thought about the TD "catch". I've always heard the story of that game as being decided by the Gary "fumble", but after watching the documentary I think it's just sour grapes. Gary didn't fumble and that wasn't a catch for the TD. But if the fumble was called correctly (as a TD), then perhaps there is no need for the TD catch later

It is funny when you watch old footage and think "Why didn't they just review those plays?" before remembering then that call on the field stood. I'm still not sure what they would have ruled on the Gary fumble. So close.

Oh, and just to keep this thread on track, I wonder if Otis Livingston watched that documentary. I bet he'd really enjoy it as a former college athlete himself and now a sports anchor.

It's really amazing when you think about someone being the best individual at anything in D1, that's the best out of like 4000 athletes. Pretty effing stunning

While Otis' record has already been reported on this thread, I wonder if Coach Paulsen knows about the following tweet:

Mark LaFrance ‏@GoMasonSID 1h1 hour ago
Otis Livingston II's streak of 30-consecutive FTs made is a @MasonMBB record The previous record of 27 was set by Rob Rose in 1985-86

Otis Livingston II, who ranks second nationally in free throw percentage, was 7-of-7 from the line en route to 17 points as George Mason beat Longwood to extend its winning streak to eight games … Mason freshman Justin Kier tallied 12 points, hitting 3-of-5 from the field, and a perfect 4-for-4 at the line in the Patriots’ win …

   For teammates in transition or half court is reckless and inaccurate. He's not a wild, out of control player.

   to pass... he would much rather give the basketball up to a teammate for a dunk or three than do it himself. You don't really see that...

   "Wild shots" hoping for fouls means undisciplined and out of control. He's not that type of player. His first instinct even in transition is

Perhaps he can ask Petey Buckets to sit with his father - see above.

Otis' father is not happy with Petey Buckets' constructive criticism of Otis' play in transition.

How could anyone be upset or critical of his play. Love this man.
