However, the good news is that their offense is averaging more than 85 points a game. And it doesn't take a math major to figure out that means more wins than losses. Because we averaging so many points then, on defense, we just get frustrated. Shepherd is the Lions leading scorer, averaging nearly 20 points a game, contributing to the Lions potent offense. Bottom line is if we score three and they score two, we're still going to win.
Bottom line is, tonight, when push came to shove, the defense did step up a little bit.
And the Lions did, stealing the ball 14 times from the Terrapins, including five from Mazzante, a couple of which came at crucial times and took some momentum away from the Terps. Portland stressed that the Lions are continuing to practice defense. You will see our defense improve. We have some real defensive concerns. That comes from time and playing for each other.
