Otis, in case you are reading this - NO WAY YOU EVER HAVE A SHOT AT THE NBA!!!! Your welcome

 

[Vurbel]

NBA? That's a tall order (no pun intended) for anybody under 6 feet.

He played so well against LaSalle. Basically perfect. And literally perfect shooting.

For his career, Otis has 730 points and 185 assists. He's on pace to become just the second Mason men's basketball player with 1,500 points and 400 assists. Ricky Wilson (1982-86) had 1,505 points and 405 assists.

Otis set a school record this season: consecutive FT's made (34). He could possibly break at least 4 more school records as follows:

FT% for a season (minimum 50 attempts): 87.1% (Steve Bacon, 1976-77) - Otis is shooting 89.7% (78-87) this season;

FT% for a career (minimum 100 attempts): 81.6% (Bert Readyhough, 1966-70) - Otis is shooting 82.9% (165-199) for his career;

Games started (career): 118 (Will Thomas, 2004-08) - Otis has started every game of his career (55); and

Minutes played (career): 4,144 (Will Thomas) - Otis has played 1,901 minutes

Steve Bacon made 1976 free throws on 77 attempts??? Wow!

Congrats Otis...playing lights out right now. So glad Mason didn't overlook this kid like many other programs did. Paulsen really got a great recruit with Otis.

 

[mkaufman1]

Before Otis is done, I suspect he will be known as (one of) the face (s) who helped turn the program around towards success.

What a find this kid was, excited to see what future kids like this Paulsen finds out there

Otis has made his last 20 FT's, including 8-8 (6-6 in the final 1:43) in the 73-67 Homecoming victory over Fordham. Here's how important his FT shooting was down the stretch last night:

1:43 - Increased the score from 61-60 to 63-60

00:27 - Increased the score from 65-62 to 67-62

00:08 - Increased the score from 69-64 to 71-64

For the season, Otis is shooting a school-best 91.1% (92-101); and for his career, a school-best 84.0% (179-213). How lucky is Mason Nation having the best FT shooter in school history shooting FT's down the stretch in close games?

a HUGE luxury

 

[psyclone]

Just think,,,,,we have another 2 YEARS of him handling the ball down the stretch making key free throws!

Not only that, but Grayer is at 85.3%, Kier 72.6, and Boyd is 75. Will be tough to be down two or three possessions against this team late.

Wish he'd work on his poker face when things fall apart. He's so obviously discouraged at times.

Moore brought the ball up a lot yesterday (and got careless) -- what was that about?

In his last 6 games, Otis Livingston is averaging 4.3 rebounds, after averaging 2.5 rebounds in his first 20 games. Marquise Moore effect?

Really, Last 2 minutes of the game who do you want the ball in the hands of? Obviously you haven't been watching games this year.

Not looking for an argument - my row of regular season ticket holders noticed Moore bringing the ball up more than usual this game and we talked about it. There were turn-overs. And I agree Moore is spectacular, nevertheless.
