It was a bad decision by him but he's harmless. I've watched him all season. Now RS is another story. He was arguing that Denzell flopped. A 235 pound man can't force himself to hit the floor with that much velocity. Give Pancake credit he went straight to Watts and apologized once play started back.

Yeah. When he went up and apologized and checked on Watts it became apparent he wasn't doing anything dirty. It was still a brutal foul.

Disagree. He apologized only after the timeout, once his coaches told him to.

That was a dirty play by a dirty player. He clotheslined him, intentionally ramming his forearm into Watts' throat while he was airborne and unable to avoid it. He should have been ejected at the very least.

I was amazed that Watts got off the floor. He is tough as Flint.

When you slowed it down the intent was clear.

and on a side not the Marshall fans are quickly taking up the ECU slack.

I felt the apology wasn't sincere, but more of a "I'd better do this or I definitely won't get any calls tonight" type thing.

To call a guy a dirty player over one play is a bit extreme. He's not Draymond Green.

The apology was a joke. A true apology would have happened immediately. And when you make a dirty play, you become a dirty player.

Ehsan realized with about 3 minutes left in the 1st half that he hadn't played Madison yet so he put him in.

In the 2nd half with about 8 minutes to go Ehsan realized that Madison probably would foul out if he didn't sit him for a few minutes so he sat him until the 4 minute mark.

Why Tyler doesn't start is beyond me. Just let him come in and set the pace for the first 5 minutes. Madison is as tough, hustles as hard and is as heady a Blazer as I've ever seen.

I'm thinking Tosin has decided that the PAINT belongs to him now, and he's ahowing Jognson the improvements he's made after taking over.

Don't hang your hat on that. Justin Johnson just had the flu. He will probably be back in low post form if we see them again.

Tosin was so good last night. I've never seen him play with such ferocity and determination. He was definitely a man on a mission last night.

I hope Tosin has at least solidified his bid for ownership. If he plays Johnson to a stalemate, I'll be happy.

We beat them without a healthy Cokley too

That was Tosin's best game of his career. He was aggressive and didn't overthink anything.

Also, Lee is playing like the player he's capable of being the last 3 games. 19 points/game, 6-8 rebounds, 2-3 blocks. When he plays with effort, he can consistently put up those numbers and be a match up problem to every team we face.
