I done some work on the history of the Mason-Augusta rivalry over the past few years. The two games this season, fouls were MC 39 A 21. FT's were MC 13-15 and A 34-44. Maddox shot 16-17 of the 44. During the Bach years for four games, MC shot 32-53 and Augusta shot 73-97 on FT's. Bach shot 55-64 by him self which is more than Mason's team shot. Anybody else see a pattern here.
I have certainly witnessed a pattern, it's the style of defense being played and Augusta would not have played Mason last night if Bracken had converted free throws on Tuesday night.
