Ellison had 0 turnovers in 37 minutes today. Just saw that on the stats, he is improving finally.

Also I wouldn't worry about Yakwe. Mullin is actually giving out well proportioned big man minutes. He's averaging 2 minutes less per game this season than last year. He was good in the wins over Syracuse and Butler. Today just wasn't his day.

Ellison also had 8 assists, impressive

Actually, I thought Ellison may have played his best game to date.  Ellison is a decent player when plays within himself.  There are too many times, he doesn't play within himself and screws up.  He could end up being a solid, four year player for us, as he continues to improve and know his limitations.

I feel like he is a kangaroo with the basketball. He can either dunk on someone's head, kick the ball into the 20th row, or knock his own front teeth out while dribbling

I think the opposite. I think he can do more. Needs to work more to have more confidence and consistency to do those things.

Ellison has been improving. I compared his game to DJ last summer and I think they have a lot in common now. Ellison is defending, he's rebounding and he's playing within himself. As a 3rd or 4th option on offense he can be really good. Just like DJ was in 10/11.

For some reason, I got the image of the kangaroo from the "Looney Tunes" cartoons.  The one whom "Sylvester the Cat" use to think was a big rat.

At least half were dumpoffs or handoffs for treys. Still, he played a very good game.

Your point??

I think he has less limitations than we currently think. He has shown a pretty nice shooting stroke at times this year and there is still more there in regards to slashing and finishing at the rim.

Not sure he will ever be a guy to completely take over a game like we have seen Lovett and Ponds do this year, but he may end up as the most versatile of the bunch.

RF - invisible today but expected now and then with freshmen

He missed a three; was the defender of record on two Depaul threes; then turned the ball over on an ugly pass - all in the span of two minutes.  Then, rightfully so, never got of the bench again.

I would say that in fact he was highly visible.  Just not in a good way.

Assists are assists. Points are points. He was making the right the decision.

Yes that was a mercy benching by Mullin

His assists were incredibly helpful but we'd like more flash. More showtime. Why does he always have to look at the player when he drops off a pass? Can't he no look that shit? Also, why do our players wear spandex?
