I wonder if they haven't intentionally slown things down due to the lack of depth, but yikes, there are stretches where watching the offense is like watching paint dry.
These teams had a combined 1 point on fast breaks in the first half. Must have been a fast break free throw.
Boston College, Clemson, Florida State, Louisville, North Carolina State, Notre Dame, Syracuse, Wake Forest, Duke, Georgia Tech, Miami, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Virginia, Virginia Tech and THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON.
Malique Jacobs is really solid for them. He doesn't jump out at you for his offense but contributes substantially in many other statistical categories.
He's just become a little too predictable, especially with that back down move. He also started drawing the opponents' best or second defender based on his early success.
I wasn't trying to stir up a debate, just pointing out he may be the best traditional big in the MAC. He rebounds at a much higher level than Carter, scores and blocks about the same and has a significantly higher FG percentage.
I agree all three of those guys are the prime candidates for MAC POY, with Rollins the favorite.
Freeman certainly has an argument for being the best traditional big/post player in the MAC. His stats are considerably better than guys like Mballa and Carter.
