Ogbole vs ND

[Simce91]

any insight on why he only played 12 minutes ?

2 nice blocks to start the game, a nifty move to the hoop where I think the ref called it the wrong way and then "bench city"

Only had 1 PF, and I thought his presence in the middle would have been helpful in the 2nd half

Because ND plays “5 out” offense. It’s not EO’s game to run around chasing guys on the perimeter. Dortch better suited to that style.

Only thing I can think of is that its a tough defensive role for him against a team without a guy in the middle. Could have used his rebounding at times and have played through him

 

[Knights2003]

3 turnovers in 12 minutes probably didn't help his case either.

 

[RUdepressed]

He's back to hands of stone and is just brutal on offense

 

[Waldo73]

He scored zero point. We need a center who can score.

fair enough, however Harrelson and Burton ate RU's lunch in the paint, especially in the 2nd half

RU outscored ND in the second half. Glad to see they didn’t give up when down big.

What a sorry state of affairs and losing mentality with our baseball program when we have to credit them for losing not as badly as the night before.

As bad as the offense might be, with baseball I still believe it’s all about the pitching. That being said, I did know the baseball team played yesterday.

He took zero shots. Hard to score that way.

He was going for a layup, fumbled, recovered and traveled on his way to basket. Never for close after that.

Can't blame a kid for getting excited at the rare offensive opportunity. Ha.

He was on fire with blocking, however. But a couple of baskets from him, could have made a difference.

Agree, plus a couple of "stops" on ND in the paint
I can understand playing Dortch, however I can't understand Pike playing Ware over Ogbole when resting Dortch in the 2nd half
