On TV. Almost an hour after the game. Wow I love this conference.
Nah, just an off night.Looks like Montez might be the player to get less touches with Geo back. Still worked hard on defense, just didn’t get in the flow on offense. With Harper Jr. Geo and JY, there are only so many shots available.

Agree. Mathis scores 15, 17, 18 for us at beginning of the year, gets rebounds all over the place, forces jump balls, steals .. now he has 1 game where he doesn’t score a lot and people are ready for the bench. Sheesh. He is from Baltimore, maybe he was thinking about going to visit family after the game or something and was nervousNah, just an off night.
Can anyone here tell me what Mathis was up to? Shooting looks bad choices.. more like last year than this year. When the replay goes up I'll take a look.. but maybe someone knows.
Was playing near his home town and was too jacked up
The key to a great team is you have a number of players that can step up any given night and be the winning pieces, that night, for the win. Mathis wasn't part of the puzzle tonight. But he will be more nights than not. We just have a lot of ways to win right now.I think he has a tendency to force things at time and try to make a play rather than play within the team ball. Its all about playing within himself. He has games where he does buy in. Tonight we was playing solid D while not getting alot of touches but then he started to get touches was shooting up some bricks and then it effected the rest of his game, missed free throws, bad fouls, turnovers. I think being back home and wanting to do well in Maryland played into it.
I realize when he is on and locked in he is key cog in this team. I do think that at times with Geo and Young in at same time with Harper, Montez might be odd man out. There was a stretch with him and Young where they just were not in sync
He played a team high 35 minutes so obviously Pike felt he needed to be out there no matter what so that says something

I'm OK if his primary role is as a kick out 3 point shooter with all of the other dribble drivers we have.Looks like Montez might be the player to get less touches with Geo back.

Up until now I thought that was an early-season problem last year and that he got over that. And, this year, while he still seems to get that very human feeling of "I haven't taken a shot in awhile, so I better do that".. he does work his *** off on D.I think he has a tendency to force things at time and try to make a play rather than play within the team ball.
