[Braves4Life]

Welcome to The Hilltop Mason. BU needs a shooter like you... DESPERATELY!

Word broke this week that Peoria native and former Richwoods sharpshooter Mason Alwan will be walking on at Bradley University for this upcoming season. Alwan is a 6'3 shooter who has been at Lincoln Land College the past 2 years

Welcome to the Hilltop Mason. We sure need someone who can shoot the three like you do. Mason could get some playing time because he can flat out shoot the ball.

[Da Coach]

Mason Alwan was the leading scorer for Lincoln Land College with an average of 13.3 ppg.
The article says, "Bradley hopes Alwan can help the team from behind the arc, the Braves shot a dismal 30% as a team from long range last season."

I hope so, too, however, Alwan's three point percentage at Lincoln Land was only 28.9% (44-152).

In his freshman year there, he averaged 13.1 ppg and 29.8% from three (39-131)

It appears he has a nice stroke.

Scouting Report: A big guard that can really shoot it from the outside. Alwan is aggressive and a good rebounder. He's got good strength and knows his role on the floor.

Me thinks T posted what most of us were already thinking...
AND
info DC had already posted.

No need to take shots at B4L and WC who I am assuming were trying to make MA feel welcome at BU.

In the process of a poster trying to make a point/grind an axe/display his top notch statistical analysis, MA (who never proclaimed he was BU's answer for 3pt shooting) gets trashed on this site by fans before he steps on the floor for BU.

I thought BF.com was supposed to support all BU athletes, whether they are SM or MA...



Personal Foul for unsportsman-like conduct

[Da Coach]

I am happy to have Mason as a Brave.

Welcome aboard Mason.

Welcome Mason....glad to have you on the Hilltop!

[Old Coach]

I think it's great to have local kids on the team as walk-ons, but to have performance expectations in one is silly.
