That was a screen! EO absolutely flattened a guy, then made the roll to the basket, got the pass, took 6 steps and missed the shot. He won't be credited for the miss. The traveling was first. It looked good, except for the part about not dribbling and missing the shot.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

Final score 120 - 82.
EO has an offensive game that seems to extend to his wrists on the rim. Defensively he's a beast. He absolutely shut down the low paint. This isn't against D1 post players, but it's a good sign.
His game certainly isn't up to the hype that he's gotten over the last 2 years, but I'd a lot sooner have him playing for WSU than against WSU. If I were watching him tonight knowing WSU had to play against him the next 3 years, I would not like what I saw.
If you look at points scored and points disallowed, I'd put EO at plus 10+ tonight. What he shut down more than made up for his lack of scoring himself.
He runs the floor as advertised. He looks like a 6' guy running down the court. And there was a lot of running up and down the court in this game.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

All fair points Aargh, but if I may add one point:
That was in no way, shape or form a D1 game. That was an up and down juco game, not designed for 7' post player, no matter how mobile he might be.
I have certainly been guilty, as it were, of fanning this thread, but I came away tonight perhaps even more encouraged.
I know EO has limited offensive skills. I don't care! He'll get better, but it is his d that I love. He is going to be a beast, pure and simple.
