Is it just me or are ehimen's arms twice the size of Seth Turtle's.

Isn't it nice when reasonable valley post players come in here and can't do anything? I'm becoming very interested to see how Carmichael and Echenique will do. I'm not saying EO will shut them down because they are great players and obviously a league above the uni posts, but wont it be something if he does?

I don't think Tuttle has gotten any bigger since last year....

I too am curious to see how those matchups end up. At least we have a legit big man that can play very good D to put on them. Although Carmichael may be defended more by our PFs.

[Aargh]

Did even any of the EO supporters think EO would go off for 10 points on 5/6 shootig in a road game where we needed his production?

[pinstripers]

are you THAT surprised?

[C0|dB|00ded]

Ummm... yeah.

I'm on record predicting that EO will score 18 at least once this year. EO scored 10 tonight without the guards even making an effort to get him the ball in the post. Once the guards start to trust the big fella, look out.

Mark my words, before EO's light fades from the hallowed court of Koch Arena, he will have earned ever single page of this thread.

Go Shocks!

His total game was solid, if not impressive tonight. :)

[pie n eye]

Great game for the big fella and the shockers. He's getting in a little groove here.

[110%]

He needs to get the ball more. He is not the liability he used to be and will only get better with trust from the rest of the team and coaches.

Yea he hinted at that in the post-game show.

Cold is dreaming about sugar plums tonight.

How many big guys could run and finish the break llike he did last night?

[ShockerKhan]

EO has raised his expectations and everyone else needs to get on board. Every game he delivers like the Drake game we should win going away.

[rrshock]

I didn't get to watch the game last night (Damn you all to &^%$ Cox!!!) It sounds like he had one of his better games. I'm hopeful that he keeps improving and this team only gets better around him.

[SubGod22]

I am so proud of the big man. The kid has busted his ass for three years here and never once complained about anything. You've seen the progress every year, if you've been watching, and it's finally playing out. I don't expect him to have offensive games like this every night, but won't be surprised when he sets a new career high in points. But the guy is a HUGE asset to this team. That little lefty hook he has going for him is quite nice.

A better question would be, "How many big guys could run and finish the break at 65% like he did last night?"
