Kyle has graduated and Otis Livingston II is now a junior with another year of experience. He dropped 29 on us tonight (I think that is who you were referencing in your above post). As far as I know AG used up his eligibility back in the 80's so he had to put either of the two freshman Jalen Crutcher or Jordan Davis on Livingston and try to guard him! Archie would have had the same dilemma also had he stayed!

Don't forget to mention that at one point, AG seemed to be utilizing some sort of 4-1 zone or 3-1 with a floater; either way, Mason destroyed it each time and got an open look. Yes part of good defense is on the player himself, but also a part of it is on the coach too. If the coach doesn't tell the player to stick on Livingston and make his life a living hell, then it may or may not happen.
