It’s really no one’s on x outside of maybe Dayvion and swain (if his handle improves). As others said he impacted winning without scoring much and having an off shooting game. Biggest thing, won probably the biggest reg season away game ever outside of beating uc in 96.
    I think we can separate the two—saying he needs to adapt his game at times and X winning a huge game on the road are not the same. This is a Conwell thread. He shot 3-13 with 1 rebound and 1 assist. He's been a good contributor overall this year. I like him.

    Curious, what do you mean by adapt his game?

    As mentioned, I think he still played a huge role in the win. His baseline fade early in the game is part of the adaption I’d like to see more of. Not being able to separate and get looks vs one of the best defenders in country isn’t a huge deal, not making the open looks he had (at least some) is tough. He got pulled in the 2nd half when Marquette was in zone. Had ball and was dribbling into middle of lane, had a couple options right away- held it and resulted in a highly contested shot.

    Sean pulled him and motioned to dish it. Just a little thing.
