March 22, 201511 yr Agreed, they were excellent making the guards take contested shots. I think Caupain had one open look. I can't remember a single clear jumper for Johnson or Cobb. They made Cincinnati beat them in the paint, and UC was 7-21 there in the 2nd half. Not going to be enough to pull the upset...
March 22, 201511 yr I know I am opening a can of worms here ... but what did Ellis do today that was so bad? Details please. What he did was get his shot blocked, and blocked and blocked
March 22, 201511 yr What he did was get his shot blocked, and blocked and blocked 9 points and 10 rebounds against an NBA front line. He's awful...
March 22, 201511 yr More boards than Towns and WCS combined actually. In 27 minutes to their 53. Scrub...
March 22, 201511 yr 9 points and 10 rebounds against an NBA front line. He's awful... Did I say he was awful? Simple yes or no will work. How many shots of his were blocked? A simple numerical answer will work.

March 22, 201511 yr I think Caupain had one open look. I can't remember a single clear jumper for Johnson or Cobb. They made Cincinnati beat them in the paint, and UC was 7-21 there in the 2nd half. Not going to be enough to pull the upset... I remember a wide open jumper he made off a pick and roll but nothing else. I thought Clark would play a little better but he disappeared for most of the game.
March 22, 201511 yr I am a UK fan w/o doubt, but the Ellis guy and his gamesmanship antics are not a big deal. Ive been watching UK big guys get mugged for several weeks. Its harder to name teams who dont use a rugby scrum tactic vs UK than those who do. In 1992 this guy wouldnt have been tossed from a game of this magnitude (even with the throat maneuver he used in game one). I just think that this antic is called thuggery (made up word) when a guy who doesnt have a blueblood uniform on is doing it. Funny, I can remember an elite 8 game in '92 when a guy was taking cheapshots and it was called..............bullying. He didnt get thrown out then and he was not considered a thug............he was considered ultra competitive.
March 22, 201511 yr 9 points and 10 rebounds against an NBA front line. He's awful... Don't forget the Standing Ovation.
March 22, 201511 yr I remember a wide open jumper he made off a pick and roll but nothing else. I thought Clark would play a little better but he disappeared for most of the game. Missed 4 shots he almost always makes. Looked like he was short arming it a bit in anticipation of weak side help that never really came. Still had 9 boards and 3 blocks, but his production on the offensive end was missed badly...
March 22, 201511 yr He just has short lapses of anger that are magnified by the bright lights of the game. All three times he was ejected this year were split second decisions that he still clearly struggles with. Nothing malicious, but no question clear flagrant 2 calls that should have been made. I have seen him grow up a TON first hand this season, but he still has a lot of work to do. The first two were simply trying to prevent a dunk and doing it in the worst way possible. Against Purdue he was getting beat to hell by their two bigs and tried to get in a shot on the box out. All three were very deserving of an ejection, but in no way make him a "thug" or terrible human being... I haven't watched him much so I'm not going to judge his behavior but 3 ejections seems to set a pattern of his actions on the court.
March 22, 201511 yr Find a mirror... :thumb: Really? Who quoted who? Who put words in someone else's mouth? Look I'm willing to never respond to another of your post. You willing to do the same?
March 22, 201511 yr Did I say he was awful? Simple yes or no will work. How many shots of his were blocked? A simple numerical answer will work. 3 of his shots were blocked. Oh, Trey Lyles had 3 of his shots blocked too. Scrub.
