He seems like another B.J. Edwards. He will likely be in the portal at the end of the season.

That's exactly who I've compared him to, but BJE was probably a better shooter. BJE has turned in a pretty good season at SMU for Andy Enfield. He just needed time to develop and an opportunity to play, and he wasn't going to get that buried on the bench at Tennessee. Same may happen for Boswell.

Yes as evidenced by his consistently fouling 3 point shooters. Maybe too much of a glove.

We've all fouled 3 point shooters this year. I don't know that Mashack has any more than anyone else. We guard the 3 point line so we going to get those.
Having said that, I'll take one of those every now and again from Mashack with how he completely shuts down the man he guards. Name one player all year he has guarded that necessarily had a big game on us?

Mashack has been the habitual offender this season. Yes others have but by committee. But he has been the one player who has had an issue fouling 3 point shooters almost every week.

I can only hope we are not on defense with the season on the line in March and he’s guarding the ball beyond the 3 line

I'd have to see the numbers on that, and even if, like I said, with how he shuts his man down in games I'll take that.

Good win, but

Too many turnovers--- would have gotten scorched by better teams today
Lanier going cold too much lately
Okpara and Dubar --- we need a LOT more out of them the finish conference play... well short of where they should be at this point.

Lot of room for improvement even with a good win today on the road--- that's good, which means we haven't peaked yet...

Crazy that if everyone we have can actually start playing consistently at a higher level, we can beat anyone in the country and hopefully we find this in time for the tourney. Could potentially do some serious damage if we can find a way to completely gel as a team.

Tre Johnson and Jacucionis, but Tre may be a lottery pick and KJac is getting drafted, too

Does anyone know of Lanier, Mashack, ZZ, Igor, Gainey, and Dubar, who could come back next season? Do any of these seniors have eligibility left?

He’s going to be Mashack 2.0. Useful player. Good defender. Good hustle. Not much offense to speak of.

Thinking the same. He's good on defense but right now, liability on offense. Young Mashack started off iffy, but when he's on the floor, we are better now. Going to miss him when he's gone.

This team still has a whole lot of upside. They just beat a good team on the road when playing mediocre. Sloppy ball handling, lots of turnovers and still won comfortably. Now we see why Barnes was calm after losing on the road at Auburn (with a short bench and sick players). He sees the potential. If injury's leave us alone for the rest of the year, I think this will be the best chance ever to win it all.

Shot making makes a world of difference. Turns this squad from good to great. Imo

The least of my worries is Lanier
