Mawien had another good game on defense.  When you are the primary big in the game and you hold Creighton 59, you played some good defense.  Creighton doubled down and took the inside away.

We should be beyond the point where we're grading Mak on a curve. He was mediocre at best last night and that's fine. He does need to be more consistent with his effort.

His defense was pretty good - miles better than Stockard, but man that offense last night, yuck.  If he could catch the ball, he could have led the team in points.

Dribbling is not something he's good at either. Although against KU's soft inside D, he got away with it.

Agree. My frustration is that he did not work hard on the offensive side of the ball at all. He didn't even attempt to post hard last night and I'm guessing it's because of that 3 he hit early.

Creighton doubled him everytime he caught the ball in the paint.  He didn't handle that too well.

McNeck prepared for Dean and just stuck with the game plan #facecoachedoff

  Been reading this board.  Our three defenders held Creighton to their lowest point total of the year  (59)  with the two worst and laziest defenders, "Mak and Stokes" on the floor with them.  Very impressive that three guys can play great team defense in spite of Stokes and Mak.  .  And that was great team defense last night. 

More likely this board just likes to throw players under the bus to provide additional motivation.  Seems to be working for Mak and Stokes.  Good job posters.

stokes played very good D I thought...Creighton's frontcourt struggles I blame on their  "throw numerous alley-oops to the guy who may not be able to dunk" offensive gameplan

After the KU game, other teams know they can't just ignore him.  Also he can shoot from outside.  He was a 4 star just like Claws and Sneed.  He thrives off of Wade's assists.

Unless I'm blind there isn't a single post on this board that questioned Mak's or Kam's defense, literally not a single one. Cat97, who clearly has a personal stake in defending Mak, can't argue against the observation that Mak was bad offensively last night so it's easier to lash out at this board.

Sometimes mak is really lazy on defense but sometimes he is pretty good for his size

I can't recall ever seeing a basketball player, on any team, on any level, who has such a wide and obvious disparity of how he looks on the court simply based on effort. I'm starting to wonder if the dude is just a timid guy and his effort level is more about comfort and confidence.

The dude is definitely timid. He just needs to get into the zone. Dean needs to coach him up tomorrow and tell him how to come out of his shell

The double/triple teaming spooked him.  Bellcow will be back in form tonight.

His interview after the Big 12 tournament game was really awkward. I'd say the issues is confidence over effort.

Claws to a lesser extent last year suffered from confidence in his abilities so I think there is definitely hope that My Ween can blossom into a killer too.
