My guy/gal cat97 is consistent, come in and complain that Mak was mentioned in non glowing ways but avoids the actual critique leveled.
He did hit two huge FTs in the second half.
Critrique seemed to target Mawiens inability to catch post passes and his breakdowns on help defense. I addressed both. Does not mean you agree with me.
Now we have Weber claiming Mawien is one of the best ball screen defenders in the country and Lowrey saying Mac is a great ball screen defender. Both those guys actually know more about defense than I do. You don't have to agree with them either.
The biggest concern is Mawien getting in early foul trouble against Kentucky but lately Mawien has avoided the moving screens and the arms in the defenders back going for rebounds. If the refs keep allowing physical play like they have so far in this tournament, we may be OK against UK.
