His T today didn't cause him to sit out. He stayed in the game.
What hurt us was our crap FTs & no production from our shooters.

Ejim's T's Hurting Us

Certainly some karma after the technical, He airballed his next one from the same exact spot. Love you Mel and you have earned the right to puff your chest, but probably best to just shut up and play. No matter what the national media thinks, we see how your play talks and that's more than enough for this fan.
The T going up to the refs was dumb and he hurt the team. Tonight...that was a bs call. Get ready to see 5-10 Ts every single game if that's a T.
Great competitor. No question.
There's simple steps/points made that could be instilled to avoid things like getting T'd up, from a coaching perspective:
1. Score the bucket.
2. Get back and play D, without a word.
Done.
Apparently it's OK to get T'd up, play D for a series, and then stare down the opposing crowd like that looks cool when your team has looked like crap all game.
Oh, and...
3. BLOCK OUT.

Are you really saying that Ejim needs to block out better, he is probably the only one on the team that does a good job of this consistently.

I blame Canada. It's impossible to overcome the rough yet futile upbringing that happens up there.
You are clueless if you don't think every player does at least that if not significantly worse things. The amount of people who don't understand that is amazing.
The T was weak and anyone who says otherwise is trolling or doesn't understand basketball at all.
Tonight's was just a screw job by the refs. How was be supposed to know he'd get in trouble for something that literally happens every game?
Pretty sure most of Ejim's technicals have been bad calls. The Baylor game when he had a massive dunk and didn't want to go flying into the crowd so he swung back. Tonight when he trash talked someone. Not exactly technical worthy.
Just sayin Niang, Kane, and Ejim all average over 16 points per game. That is pretty balanced if you ask me.
also the ref's call that had me scratching my head was when Naz went in for a lay up. Got knocked to the ground.. Ksu guy landed an Naz and stumbled over him, traveled, and a foul was called on Naz..
I agree, though Kane seems to have toned it down a bit. As much as he gets knocked down on his drives, he probably has a legitimate beef on many of the calls.
wasn't it another coach who commented on LE's 2000-2002 teams that they didn't complain but maintained focus and kept on playing?
And, for those of you who don't think we will miss Kane next year, you couldn't be more wrong. I would be very happy with another experienced big guard transferring in next year.[/QUOTE]
People may "miss" him, but probably just like we miss Babb, Royce, Lucious, Clyburn, McGee, etc... Our team will be just fine. Its Iowa State University, coached by Fred Hoiberg. Not Kane State University, Led by Kane.
