Milton’s air raid powers Mustangs over Connecticut, 69-61

Sophomore guard Shake Milton has become a different player in his last 10 games.

Milton has consistently scored in double figures for the entire season, but his evolution into a dangerous player did not begin until mid-January. Since then, the Oklahoma native has averaged 16.1 points per game. He is currently averaging 13.1 ppg on the season, up from the 10.5 that Milton averaged last season.

The change in Milton is not just seen on stat sheets, but in his eyes. Long gone are the days when Milton looked like a deer in headlights while running the point.
