Myles "Mutombo" Johnson

Those five blocks were freaking awesome!

In many respects he was the MVP of the endgame. Without his defensive heroics, Kwasi and ultimately Baker never get their moment to win it for us.

I thought he had more. One sequence it looked like he had three alone.

I know what you mean. A couple other players had blocks also in that time span. They were all huge.

And his response to Geo’s trey?

“Geo has proven time and time again that he’s going to make those last-second shots,’’ Johnson said. “As soon as he shot it I was thinking, ‘Am I going to rebound?’ I was like, ‘Nah, It’s going in.’ ... It’s Geo. In moments like this, Geo is always Geo.’’

The NEB coach Hoiberg spoke very highly of Myles....they scouted him big time.
(and he won)

He needs to tough the ball more in the low post. The offense should run through him at times.

I counted 8 blocks for him. Radio announcers after the game said they thought he had 9.

Even the B1G Show guys were just speculating that the RU statisticians might not know how to count very well.

He is a fantastic player. We're lucky to have him and he's benefited tremendously from the coaching. Doesn't matter what bag men might bring Cliff, he'll make more money in the NBA if he comes here.

I thought he had at least 8. It's good to know that I'm not alone in thinking he got gypped on a few blocks. Myles was a beast today.

 

[Westcoast]

I think one was a steal before it was a block. Just took it from the kid as he drove past.

I thought so too

Endlessly wondering why they don't attach greater importance to getting the ball in the low post....except at the end of games....where his free throw shooting could kill us. He's about as bad a free throw shooter as I've seen.

You answered your own question

Best play was when he basically ripped the ball out of someone’s hand as they drove in. More impressive than a block.
