I seriouly don't know what you guys watch during a game. Mawien has just played two great defensive games. His hedge defense on Young is what helped us shut him down. Last night he was a big key (along with help from Claws) in cutting down the screen and roll game between Robinson and Broz. Two blocks last night. 18 points on 8 for 11 from the field. Made two big free throws in crunch time. 5 rebounds just like TCUs big man Broz.
I'm a little slow so maybe I'm just being trolled.
The article in KC Star online about Mawien is good.
"After that one, Weber said Mawien had to learn how to play tougher if he wanted to stay in the rotation, let alone the starting lineup.
But something has changed since then. Mawien was genuinely good against the Horned Frogs, erupting for a career-high 18 points and five rebounds.
“I just told him that it’s not a welfare,” Weber said. “You have got to produce to get minutes. He has realized that. He has gained confidence.”
I also liked the part where it said that he has learned where to be on offense to get good shots. They found him yesterday. I think maybe Korn is having an effect. Friends have always told me that young bigs take a while to blossom. We will need a strong game from Mawien against that big Honker from Baylor.
