Just wanted to throw some appreciation for Allenspach’s progression so far this season. He’s been developing quite the bag of crafty ball fakes and hesitation moves to freeze the defense and get by his man. Overall really impressed with how smart he is with the ball.

HONOR ROLL
"George Mason’s Riley Allenspach was on fire in the first half of the win over ODU, setting a record by scoring the team's first 17 points, starting a perfect 8-of-8 from the floor and finished with a career-best 26 points"

Loved that, but I have a question ...

Where'd he go in the second half? And I'm not talking necessarily about scoring, though that is built in to the question; he was on the bench quite a bit, IIRC. Why?

 

[FlPatriot]

Maybe giving Kanga some game experience?

ODU made some adjustments on both sides of the ball at halftime to match up with Riley better. Skinn responded by going small for parts of the second half.
