Title: Otule is the big difference this year
Post by: Doris Burkes Thong on March 20, 2011, 09:18:53 PM
His health and toughness. So proud of that kid.Teams can't just pound us inside all game long and draw fouls. Plus, Otule has enough offense that you got to respect him. See how much more effective Rick Jackson was after Otule left the game.

Yep, big man's game. That's something Crean never understood.

This thread is about Chris, no need to bring Tommy into this.

The guy has improved immensely. Hopefully he stays healthy and hangs with Fab Mello and the rest of the BE Big men for two more solid years.

Chris played a very good game.  He's tough down on the block...Jackson seemed to wear out and stopped moving.

He works hard every play and his activity draws a lot of attention on offense. His play has elevated the team

mviale is dead on! I cringe everytime Chris picks up a foul. He is very solid...best big man we've had since RJax. And having a decent back up (a freshman no less) doesn't hurt

I said that early on this season. Just give him time.  ;)
