Lauri Markkanen has fast become a local hero in Tucson for his ability, and willingness, to shoot 3-pointers at 7-feet tall.
He made 5 of 6 of those against Texas Southern.
Pinder tried to follow suit and, well, couldn’t.
The 6-foot-9-inch forward airballed a 3-point attempt in the first half, though he did make up for it by converting a 3-point attempt with less than two minutes in the game.
