That was fun to watch. Kept it close, suddenly a nice lead, almost let them chip back in, blew it back open. Enjoyed the tension and excitement without the typical "young team late-game collapse." The future looks so bright. It's amazing how many of our stupid plays are from guys who played in Paul Ball 2's "system" rather than our freshmen. Paulsen and his guys did one hell of a job on this freshman class, especially considering most were late grabs.
MM was obviously the star, but man do we play better when Shevon can score. As to his foot, I don't know any details, but I was told some time ago that it was "injured" and has been affecting his game. Even more, it's been affecting his conditioning. If his heart and lungs were 100%, he'd be a beast. The commentators were absolutely right - out of time-outs, after a rest on the bench, etc., he plays better. Hope he gets it all working in time for the draft. I still feel like he will get looks because anyone who is 6'11 and can rebound gets looks. The inconsistency in his offensive game this year may be 100% traceable to his injury timeline.
