Mantis is eating up minutes in the middle fours. When he goes out, our depth comes back in fresh and we usually go on the decisive run. Probably left him in a little too long on Saturday, as a turnover by him led to a quick two and indirectly to another bucket that got Marshall back in it for a little longer.
I really hope he gets hot and is the tournament MVP, but for now we need to temper our expectations, or else we show our temper.
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

He’s good enough to get PT, he’s tall and can rebound. You never know when he’s gonna go off and you won’t find out unless you put him out there.AppinVA wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 10:07 amMantis is eating up minutes in the middle fours.

I hope it’s the Monday night game in Pensacola.

Mantis's defense and rebounding have improved a lot since last year and over the course of this season. This year's team is so much better on offense that he doesn't need to be hot from 3 to make a meaningful contribution.
