Sophomore Marcus

[silverback]

Watching MU play UWM and NatalieWood earlier this season, I remember Markus Howard struggling a bit and falling out of some of his jumpshots. I recall remarking to my friend that I thought Howard might undergo a bit of a sophomore slump this year.

He was playing with an ankle injury at the beginning of the year. Minor but still probably hurt his shot. It happened during the UWM game

He's only 18.

Any scoop on Howard's lower back owie at the end of the Vermont game?

Marcus was taking bad shots at the beginning of the year.  After watching game tape with the coaching staff we realized his bad forced shots were not going in and his good shots were.  Last year he took mostly good shots.  Early on this year as "the man" he put the pressure to carry the team too much on himself, he took alot ofbad ones.  Kudos to marcus for improving on his shot selction over the last 4-5 games.

I agree with this analysis.
