FRESNO, Calif. — Here are some extra notes, quotes, stats, video and whatever else I could manage to empty out of the old notebook after Monday’s 71-68 Lobos loss at Fresno State:
Mid-range Mash at it again…
Jamal Mashburn Jr. on Monday night started the game missing his first eight shots.
But as we’ve heard him, and Lobo coach Richard Pitino, say all season, the sophomore shooting guard trusts the work he puts in and his confidence isn’t going to waiver.
He followed his 0-for-8 start by hitting 9 of his next 14 shots, scoring 27 points (20 of those came in the second half) and he went shot for shot down the stretch with future NBA center Orlando Robinson.
