I like what I'm seeing from Mahmoud these last couple of games. He seems to have taken Pitino's words to heart and has been playing more aggressive. He is definitely going up stronger than before to grab those rebounds. I didn't think Anas would catch that nice alley oop from Mitchell tonight but he went over one or two guys in traffic and snagged it for the slam.
He is playing a bit less timid and not "floating around" as much when he is playing. I'm sure a part of that, as mentioned by the commentators, is him hitting the weight room and getting stronger. Though we all know he has a ways to go there he has made some gains. The other part is mentally getting tougher. Still, its a good sign to see him to play with some more fire.
