Any news on Orukpe?

How are we ever going to get this thread to 5000 posts?

I haven't watched the game from the other night yet and haven't read the game thread. How did EO do against MSU compared to the past couple of game?

He was really good. I still think that free throw dunk was on purpose. :)

10 bounds, a handful of baskets (dunks) a block, a steal and I think an assist. Kennedy's player of the game because of the bounds and the highlightness of the way he scored his buckets... And voted sexiest voice by me

As per usual, when Ehimen is allowed to play good minutes, the team plays well and he doesn't let us down. He has so much more confidence now and should be on the court 20+ in my opinion every game. If we're worried about smaller teams making him go outside on D, slap some zone on them when he's in. That'll help with anyone driving and getting inside as he'll be there to intimidate.

I hope he continues on with this output. 20+ would be a good thing.

Bob Hull mentioned a halftime segment on EO televised during the MSU game. Anybody able to put it on youtube?

I hope they make it available somewhere. It was a really good piece.

I regret missing it. ESPN3 replays don't give you halftime either (which is merciful generally).

Great defense in limited minutes by the big man tonight. He and Hall kept Jackie Carmichael 3-12 from the field. Tons of hustle by EO. And a sweet spin move and dish to Hall. Nice game, EO.

Amen. EO kept us in it on offense during that awful stretch in the first half, and his defense/presence was huge for the entire time he was in.

Carmichael's the best MVC big man in quite a while. EO held his own and was much improved from our last showdown with ISUr. Let's get the big guy some more touches against ISUb on Tuesday.

I still wish Ehimen would get more minutes. Especially if our guards are going to get beat on dribble drives. He makes it a lot tougher for those guys to finish when he's in.

Agree...but when he's got the ball and up by the rim higher than anyone else....dunk it Big-Fella!!!!!!!!

I'm glad that EO is holding his own against the likes of Carmichael. It would be nicer to see those two playing side by side for the Shocks, but it is what it is. We will sorely miss having the big fella next year I'm afraid.

[SubGod22]

For anyone that doubts his importance on the defensive side, they'll notice it next year for sure.
