Jake Odom

[pogo]

It is hard to believe that Jake Odom is just a sophomore. He is a very good player. I like his mannerisms and leadership. I thought it showed class on his part when he went over and pat DW after he fouled out.

I just hope he doesn't have too many more good games against us (he can have all he wants against everybody else) during his career.

Only a sophomore? **** I hope he's not like Nate Funk of cretin he seemed to be there for 10 years.

Just to provide a counter to some of the love Odum is getting on here. His shooting numbers are down from last year, his turnovers are up and his assist to turnover ratio is worse than last year. You could make an argument that he was better then. I wouldn't trade Ragland for him for this season. Ragland has to be defended from three. Odum's man would just cheat off on Stutz and kill the team's spacing. Although if I were INST I wouldn't trade Odum for Ragland. Rags can't create for others the same way Odum can. Once he learns how to create without turning it over he's going to be a scary player.

Btw, ESPN showed a portion of 3G's speech in the dressing room at the half. He said something like, "this is a a well coached team. They have good players. You're going to have to go out and win it".

Minor technicality, but that was Coach's Pre-game speech. From what I have heard - not much of his half-time speech would make it through the censors (except Superbowl half-time) . . .

Odom has been playing with a nagging foot injury this year. Of course, Stutz is putting up some truly amazing numbers while playing with a nagging back injury.
