Ehimen the star of the game.

I am really lookig forward to his first post game interview as player of the game

EO was a stud. Think I'd pick him too. All around game was on.

Wiggins or Cotton close 2nd and or 3rd.

JW didn't come up in the postgame show--maybe a good sign?

So we go take on a pretty good Drake team on the road, Cleanthony only plays 13 minutes due to foul trouble, we don't finish the game particularly strong with a couple of ballhandling mistakes and defensive lapses and still win by 12. Oh my, that is impressive.

I never would have thought the Shocks would have won a 3-point shoot out with Drake but that is more or less what happened although the 29 points the Shocks scored off of 13 steals was big also.

Kudos to Nick for sticking the ball in the basket tonight. Very nice work overall by EO and Tekele as well. Cleanthony was very effective when he was on the floor. D-Will played OK, but I thought he forced his shot on a number of occasions tonight. Malcolm did a lot of good stuff but he had a few brain cramps himself. Need to work on the free throw shooting.

Saw some very good things tonight, but we also still do some pretty dumb stuff. Bottom line is we can still get better and you have to love that.

I was about to say the same thing. Wiggy went off and Tekele is just a man. MAN! But Ehimen had a hell of a game on both ends and was going to work. He gets my vote.

Tekele and Carl Hall both would've made nice D1 football players.

Tekele has a boxer's physique if there ever was one. Running back too but that reach of his plus the mitts, shoulders and legs say, "Cotton's gonna knock you out. "

[Kung Wu]

Thing is ... DWill was freaking awesome too. So many studs to choose from.

[Dave Stalwart]

EOs ankle got better in the game tonight. He just bumped it up to 65% with Mike Kennedy.

EO has been dominating in this league the first two games defensively playing on one leg.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

6'2" Cotton holds 6'8" Simons to 8 points.

On only 6 shots.

The farther down the bench Jake goes, the more he over-thinks and screws up. Kid needs some confidence to play well, and needs to play well to get any confidence. It's a tough situation for him.

[Ta Town Shocker]

Great to see Wiggins smile after he hit the three pointer in the first half. He seems to be getting it and that is great to see.

[ShockerKhan]

EO said he may have to play with pain the rest of the year.

He needs to think about passing up some of those threes.
