Inside the Box:
In two games against the best scorer in Division 1 basketball, Ty-Shon Alexander has now held Markus Howard to 31 total points. Keep in mind, Howard averages 27 per game. He has made just 10-of-30 shots overall, and 5-of-16 from three point range. He’s attempted just eight total free throws. He’s turned it over eight times. It’s been two virtuoso performances, doing what no one else has been able to do: shut down Markus Howard, and do it without fouling.
And while expending all that energy defensively, Alexander has saved enough to score on his own.
