Just goes to show you that a team that plays together can overcome one or two studs. Maybe if they had more of a presence from their other players, the outcome would be different. Just shows you that you need more than 3 or 4 people in the scoring column to win a game. Go Royals! They truly play like a real team.

Don't know about the final stats, but very late in the game only four players from MV had acored...

That sounds about right.

 

7 scored for Mason. And it's not only scoring. Mason played very much like a team. I don't know how many times tonight they said that Darius or someone else passed up an open shot for them to let a teammate shoot an even more open shot. Just great passing and great team play for Mason, it sounds like...even on an off shooting night from 3 point land.

Darius does that a lot. He doesn't have to put up 30+ every night to be effective.

 

It's not only about the points...

Yes, that's the point I was trying to make...

I know.:thumb:

 

It's just that I hear a lot of grumbling in the stands when Darius passes up a 3 to get the ball to an open teammate. Some folks aren't satisfied with a 16 point, 9 rebound, 6 assist line.

 

Anyway, I'm real encouraged by the "playing as a team" comments. Gonna need even more of that tomorrow...

I know what you mean there, and I just don't get it! As long as someone gets the basket for your team, then why does it matter? A team is about playing together. Yes, you will have your oustanding players like Darius, but he can't do it by himself. He reminds me of Chris Lofton, because Chris could've put up as many points as he wanted on a given night, but chose to get his teammates involved, and that's the way it should be. It's not just a one man show. Some people seem to get lost and forget that.

Mason County fans should be proud. Good luck tomorrow!

That is one of the things I love about him.... a true team player. He can take over a game if he needs to...it is all about winning.:thumb:

Darius does it all right... He knows that teams will focus on him and he uses that to his advantage to find open teammates. In this day and age, its hard to find a "superstar" that plays basketball the right way...

Way to go Mason! Keep it up.

Sounds like Middleton must have stepped up his game to score 19 in this one.

Big, impressive win for the Royals. Congrats to them and good luck the rest of the tournament.
