“Down through the whole lineup you see production pretty much through and through,” he said. “Being able to bring that diversity to our offense makes other teams prepare for us.”<\/p>\n
Junior Tyler Scanlon posted 17 points and seven rebounds, and Javante McCoy was the third double-digit scorer with 10 points. Mahoney, McCoy and Scanlon have been the only Terriers to score in double-digits. All three have in each of the first two games.<\/p>\n
The Catamounts (1-0) opened up their season with a win in Boston over their old America East foes. Vermont head coach John Becker said the Terriers pose a tough matchup.<\/p>\n
Becker’s earned the America East Coach of the Year three of the past five seasons, so he knows what makes up a good team. He said BU has the tools to challenge anyone, and. it’s hard to adjust during games to the potential for many different lineups.<\/p>\n
“You definetly have to be on top of who’s in the game,” Becker said. “Like any team, all their guys bring a different quality to the game.”<\/p>\n
Boston University head coach Joe Jones said he can’t shorten his rotation, there’re just too many solid players.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know if we ever can, honestly,” Jones said. “I just think we’re that deep, and we have to use it to an advantage.<\/p>\n “There’s too many good players not to play these guys.”<\/p>\n Becker said it’s especially a challenge defensively and he changed their approach multiple times throughout the game.<\/p>\n “We changed our defense quite a bit tonight to adjust to who they had in the game,” Becker said. “It’s going to serve them well, those guys are going to develop.”<\/p>\n Vermont junior Anthony Lamb put up a monstrous 19 points, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 steals stat line. He said BU’s bigs gave him fits.<\/p>\n “They have a great front court and the bigs play really hard,” Lamb said. “They gave me a battle all night.”<\/p>\n Mahoney shot an efficient 7-of-12 from the field and hit all four of his free-throw attempts. He threw down two monstrous dunks, and Lamb said you can’t take a play off when guarding the Terriers top big.<\/p>\n “He gave everything he had, I gave him everything I had,” Lamb said. “We left nothing out there.”<\/p>\n However, the depth chart is much deeper. Especially up front.<\/p>\n Talent in the front court provides the Terriers an interesting look. Along with the 6-foot-8 Mahoney, three freshman are capable of banging and playing outside. 6-foot-9 Jack Hemphill, 6-foot-8 Jordan Guest and 6-foot-7 Fletcher Tynen do it all.<\/p>\n “They’re stepping in and doing what we’re asking them to do,” Mahoney said.<\/p>\n In the past, injuries mounted up and Jones didn’t have enough bodies to execute the rotations he envisioned. Now he has a good problem of having endless weapons.<\/p>\n “Right now I can say we’re going to play at least 10 \u2013 for sure,” Jones said. “There’s just a lot of guys up front right now that we can play.”<\/p>\n With upperclassmen laden teams over the past couple of seasons, Jones is pleased where his program is at. There’s a new aura around the team.<\/p>\n “This group has the potential to do something special,” Jones said. “You can just feel it.”<\/p>\n![\"IMG_5053\"](\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/wtbu\/files\/2018\/11\/img_5053.jpeg\")
