Atlantic 10 Basketball: Top 5 rising seniors for 2018-19
1. Otis Livingston II, George Mason
Rising senior guard Otis Livingston II had an electric season with the George Mason Patriots during the 2017-18 season. He put up 17.3 points, 4.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 38.2 percent from 3-point range (65-of-170) last year as a junior.
He was stellar all season for George Mason even knocking down a buzzer-beating 3-pointer against the St. Joseph Hawks back on Jan. 10 to cap off a nearly-perfect game. He recorded 25 points on 10-of-13 shooting (76.9 percent) from the floor and 5-of-6 shooting from 3-point land (83.3 percent).

It was one of four game-winning shots the Patriots needed this season to seal a victory. Rising junior Ian Boyd is responsible for the other three in three consecutive games nonetheless.
