Monday Musings: Don't take the edge away from Ejim

Now, Rhoadhoused...let's give him a break, blackhawk has never liked trash, or trash talking:
I don't how accurate this is but Mel's up there with the T's this year. If that emotion is what Mel needs to get himself fired up, then so be it. Keep calling the bogus Ts and he'll keep putting up dazzling numbers.

Yeah, that has nothing to do with it. It's b/c I prefer the way Kane handles himself on the court. Not to mention Kane is the cog that makes the offense work. Ejim gets lots of garbage buckets and put backs. He's also a pretty decent shooter, but does the majority of his damage down low. I like Kane's game much more. Big, strong athletic guard who can basically impose his will on defenders whenever he wants. Kane sets people up. W/o Kane ISU would be MUCH, much easier to stop. I remember reading pre-season reports from Fred that basically said Kane is a stud and going to make a huge impact. Pretty accurate.

Without Ejim we only have one rebounder. Ejim and Kane are both necessary for this team to be successful.
Knowing what you know now, and you could only have one, who do you take? Morris has played pretty well. Hogue has been a tremendous rebounder for you, plus doesn't Niang rebound OK?
Last I checked, those were still worth 2 points. Like 'em or not, 48 points is still 48 points, whether you think they're pretty or not. Honestly, I think that's why a lot of actually smart people (Fred, for instance) like Ejim...and even Niang. Might not be pretty, but rock solid, and productive. I'm not bagging on Kane, but your dismissal of Ejim is dumb...and now I'm wondering why I'm even saying it, since that's par for your course.
We love both of them. Both are probably equally important to our great success in a 'rebuilding year'. I am guessing that you guys would sell your soul to get either one on your team.
Now that Kane has gotten his T habit under control, Ejim stepped up to earn all those Ts that some people were expecting us to get.
Not accurate as far as I know. I don't remember where I read it but someone said he has 6 career T's. 4 of them this year.
Hanging on the rim
"punch" on loose ball
West Virginia game
Trash talking
I think we can all pretty much agree that three of the four this year have been crap calls. Just assuming the others are deserved 50% of his T's have been bad calls by the officials. I don't see how you can say he has a problem with those stats.
On a side note even though the stats are wrong on that page if the #1 guys are accurate what is he doing. How do you get 27 T's in 29 games?
Am I reading that link correctly? Matt O'Leary from Loyola has 27 techs? Holy balls... 27!!!!
wink:
Flagrant 1's are not technical fouls. The "punch" on the loose ball scramble was a flagrant 1.
