Indiana five-star freshman Mackenzie Mgbako had a less than stellar start to the season. He scored over 4 points just once across his first five career games in the cream and crimson.
The criticism came early. He’s a five-star, why isn’t he playing like one? When asked, Woodson has always been quick to stick up for him.
“He’s a freshman,” Woodson stated clearly after Mgbako put up a career-high 18 points in a breakout against Harvard. “He has been working. Hopefully there will be a nice carryover to the next game.”
Like many of his peers, Woodson doesn’t see nor care about star ratings.
