Don't forget Three Rivers plays tonight

[RoyalShock]

Caught the last two minutes of the first half. Plan on watching some of the 2nd.

EO 6 in 1st. Have no idea about how many rebounds.

possibility of a double-double?

A perimeter player got isolated on the wing with EO. Faked EO up and drove past him for the basket. EO cuaght up and blocked it from behind. He blocked the shot, the ball and the player. The guy was about 6" off the ground when EO blocked the shot and the guy just stopped going up. The called EO for a foul, but I thought it was a clean block.

That's only 2 fouls on EO with 11 left in the second half.

EO doesn't seem to have figured out to watch the trajectory of the ball and then go to a rebounding location based on where the ball is going to hit the rim. For a big guy, he seems to be on the wrong side of the basket for a rebound a lot of the time.

In the post game they said he had 13 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Too bad we can't get Marquise Carter to come with him. He is putting up some insane numbers night in and out.

A 6'4" guard that puts up 27 ppg and 8.5 apg would be a nice replacement for Clevin.

As previously mentioned, he had 13 rebounds and 5 blocked shots. Don't know what the official points were for him, but you can see the athleticism in him and the raw talent.

Get through this year and next summer, working on his positioning, I would hope to see noticeable improvement in his rebounding.

It will be an interesting period of transformation. Also, once he and his teammates get used to each other, it should make for some fun times during the year.

I have not seen him play before, but he does seem to be, as advertised, able to run the court real well.

possibility of a double-double?

Not too sure. If he did actually have 6 at half, and if the points the announcer attributed to him were correct, he should have had 11. Not totally sure that was right. Also, if I understood the announcer correctly during the interview with Coach Bess, EO had 13 boards and 5 blocks.

Don't get carried away because I have no idea how official any of this is and I wasn't totally sure some of the calls were totally correct. Plus, my hearing is not good.

I will say that once again, the opponents had real problems trying to take the ball inside with EO there.

He has so much to learn, but again, has the potential to be a defensive force.

He had 13 rebounds. It is posted on their web page. The blocks are not listed and the way they list the scoring is really weird. He also had a steal.

Stats

It looks to me like their Website gives him credit for 9 point rather than 11. That would look more like what I thought it was. One field goal the announcer gave him happened when I though he was not in the game. Anyway, 9 points, 13 boards, 5 blocks (and many changed shots) and 1 steal. Not too bad. Those numbers will improve during the year.

[Aargh]

I'm not confident of the quality of stat keeping. I saw about 5 blocks by EO and I watched less than half of the game.

Then there was the game when Carter had 30+ points and 9 assists. TRCC only had 10 shots made by anyone other than Carter. There were 12 second-chance points, so maybe if Carter missed, and TRCC rebounded and scored, it was considered a pass off the rim for an assist.

possibility of a double-double?

It looks like he missed the double-double by 1 point. He'll get a lot of double-doubles when his free throw shooting improves. He was only 1-3 tonight.

I wouldn't mind picking up Carter, but after watching the SEI game, EO is obviously the most dominant player on the court. And it's not even close.

He alters every shot that's near him, and the shots he's blocking are very high percentage shots. Even without his offensive production, his defense and especially his blocks are going to win games for us.

I believe we are seeing the results of EO's physical buildup he has undergone.
He is much stronger, and more of a presence in the post.
WSU needs his rebounding and block shot ability.

He will improve his Offensive abilities, and should be a force for WSU his 2nd and 3rd years at WSU. I am excited about EO.
