Game 30: @ Creighton

Dang!  That was an important possession. 

Bad shot by Moose

Bad shot by Moose

+1  Ahmed, as well, on the previous possession.

Why foul so far away from the basket?  Why even play him that tight, so far from the basket? 

Ellison haters can kindly stfu

Yeah so now he can play hero ball on Saturday and return to form and then you can kindly stfu.

Ellison trying to take over.  A nice move to the basket.  Ball just rolled out.

I actually root for our players.

Hero ball = preventing us from being blown out.

We gotta get this thing to around  two points within the next 5 minutes.

Yakwe going 1-4 at the line on the two possessions doesn't help.

So do I, just think most of criticism of ME has been legit but I do recognize it is not his fault he gets way to much PT for his level of play at this time.

Good job, Ahmed.  Now, make the "and 1."

4-11 from the FT line, as a team, tonight.

Then you'd think you'd have positive things to say after he scores 8 straight impressive points which kept us in the game.

If we could play defense without always fouling....

No one criticized him for that stretch it is his overall body of work and I only posted in response to your call for people to stfu even if it was done in a kindly manner.

What's score? I'm watching Trump

Crap!  That hurts.

What's score? I'm watching Trump

72-62, Creighton.  We can't play two consecutive defensive possessions without fouling.

Perhaps you should read this thread where he was the most critiqued player, calls for him to be benched, etc. A stfu was more than necessary.

But yeah, I'm sure you can't wait for his next poor performance so you can say I told you so. I just love seeing the most critiqued players play well and silence the haters.

Just when you think the team has a shot, they shoot themselves in the foot.
The lineup at the end of the first half was the difference in this game so far.
