MD - GT Comments

NCAA Tournament Likelihood:  3.7%
NIT Likelihood:  73%

Jake Layman Stats:  1 for 8 floor (including 0 for 6 from three). . . 1 board (hard not to walk into one when you play 26 minutes - second highest on the team to Wells' 33). . . Not much more to be said.  

Howard:  0 for 4 floor. . . zero points. . . 8 minutes of PT was 8 minutes too many.  

Len:  13 and 9. . .fouled out in 23 minutes.  No blocks.  Actually saw him take a shot not fading away from the basket.  

Faust:  Made 4 of 5 shots. . . had six turnovers because he played out of position at PG due to Turgeon's insistence on watching Layman play and launch ill-advised threes.  

GT had 22 assists on 26 FGs.  Crazy stat.  

OK.  Enough with the negativity.  Let's talk next year.  

Evan Smotrycz.  Remember that name.  He will be MD's best player next year.  6'9, 230, can fill it from three.  

Next year's staring line-up:

PG:  Allen / Peters sharing minutes
SG:  Faust
SF:  Wells
PF:  Smotrycz
C:  Cleare  

Mitchell will be the first off the bench.  
Layman will be the seventh man.  
Dodd will be next.   
Maybe Howard will re-discover his game.  

Odds on either Faust or Layman transferring:  50/50.
