Ed Morrow....chance to be in something good
« on: January 18, 2020, 03:19:11 PM »
Morrow’s departure really showed today and will the rest of the season.

Hope the young man understands his brothers and how important he can be still to this team.

Great job by Chef Johnson and Theo hanging tough with some amazingly bad calls.

Nah, that's blue and gold goggles, homie.

Big ups to Johnson though.  Looked really good today.

Second foul on JJ was soooo bad.  The third foul on Theo was ridiculous.

Johnson plays his role well. He has a knack for getting offensive rebounds. He has kept a few possessions alive and led to second chance basket.

How did it show?  Theo and JJ have been great the last two games without ed.  14pts and 12 boards. today, didn't look like they missed him at all frankly

JJ fouled out. Theo finished with 4 fouls. 90 more seconds we may have seen BB or JC defending man bun or Wahab. We were fortunate.

Marquette will miss Ed sooner than later.

The probability that Ed has even watched a second of either of the last 2 games is slim to none. I think the guy is long gone and the only reason it wasn’t announced that he quit was to save face on both sides.

You can't possibly be serious. Theo had to play Yurtseven so passively down the stretch and he was eating us up. Would have liked to have seen a double team at times to take pressure off Theo. Had Theo picked up his fifth or the game gone to OT we were in huge trouble. Ed's role may have been whatever he could do in 5-15 mins per game, but the 5 extra fouls and his toughness were a huge luxury for the team.

Theo and Jayce played well, but needing them to cover 40 minutes every game and remain healthy the rest of the year puts us on thin ice. I hope and am sure we are working on lineup without them in practice. Bound to happen at some point.

I think it leave them thin depth wise, but three bigs is too many to give regular minutes to.  I think it had a lot to do with Theo's slow start this year, and I think he will primarily benefit from Ed's departure.

I agree. Hard to split minutes 3 ways for 1 position.

I’ll take his fouls at the very least

Five additional fouls can be valuble.  But you can have that without someone being a rotation player.  Look at Matt last year.  Ed didn't want that role.

Exactly...and I’m hoping Ed Morrow reconsiders
