I think it's in part just coincidence as well, so I wouldn't read to much into it. We really only played three guards (four counting Mason, but Mason was also the primary backup for Newman at the 3). Both Mikey (in the first half) and DDJ (in the second half) got into foul trouble, so MAW got the benefit. |

Breaking down some stats. 7 was a lucky number. For DD he had 7 rebounds and 7 assists. JD had 7 defensive rebounds (1 offensive). Vik had 7 total rebounds.
Looking further at rebounds and assists. MAW had 4 assists and 1 RB. Mason had 5 rebounds. Ody had half of our offensive RB's (3). Newman had 1 rebound in 24 minutes. And did not otherwise particularly impress. |

I agree on Newman, thought Mason played better as his backup. Newman did show the ability to drive in for a mid range pull up, but he made only one of them and missed 3 or 4. Newman might be our best on ball defender, but that only provides so much benefit if he doesn't contribute in other areas. |

After taking a closer look at the box score, it was surprising to see the contrast in shooting numbers between our starting 5 and our bench. Starters: 10-29 FGs (34.5%) Bench: 15-26 FGs (57.7%) Team: 25-55 FGs (45.5%) Starters: 3-13 3FGs (23.1%) Bench: 4-10 3FGs (40%) Team: 7-23 3FGs (30.4%) The bench outscored the starters 36-29. The starters did shoot considerably better from the FT line though. |

As for Newman I am going to wait to judge. His shots didn't seem much more than an inch or two off but I was under the impression after watching his frosh year tapes...he was going to the rack and finishing in traffic more. That's my only beef right now with him (other than 1 rebound). Sure he missed some shots but I want him going to the rim more based on previous tapes. Get the other team in foul trouble or kick/dish. |

Wes said post-game that Lakhin injured his ankle and was out for a week or so and missed our second scrimmage, he was only fully healthy again for the last 5 or so practices. Said Lakhin has looked even better in practice (and others have indicated this as well). So Lakhin may be a better bet to become the next go to guy than MAW/Mikey. |

If Newman improves, great. If not, Mason looked plenty able to take his minutes. |
