Less Ben Emelogu

[PonySnob]

Gu had a bad game; it happens. How soon everyone forgets the game he had against UCF.

It wasn't like he went off for 28 against UCF, he just finally made a couple of shots. Hopefully he'll get more consistent as it doesn't look like LB has much confidence in him right now.

[RedBlueSMU]

Seriously. I'm so done with his sorry [deleted].

[ponyinNC]

We are going to need him - we have no perimeter depth. So hope he turns it around - announcers tonight said he's shooting like 28% on the season. Not from 3 point range. Total FG %

More wilfong.

He has the build to get to the rim. He needs to start doing what RM is doing - pass on the outside shot and if they give him space, use his athleticism to get to the rim and draw a foul.

But he has a good stroke. He gets a much nicer arc on the ball than rm does. Keep shooting and they will start falling eventually.

[MustangStealth]

We need him for depth, but it really looks like his head is not in the game at all.

We need him. It's not like we have a bench forever. This guy was huge player elsewhere. He is coming form being a big dog to a bench player. We have to give him a chance to adjust.

It's been 23 games now. That is more than enough time.

[ponyinNC]

You know what they say .. 24th time is a charm!

Ben is a shooter in a bad slump, we need him to get out of his funk. Yes, I hate seeing him jacking it up every time he touches it, but that is what he is supposed to do. With Frazier gone, he needs to be the guy that can catch and shoot and drain it from anywhere.

Let him shoot his way out of it, we need another guy to be able to play outside, he has great size for his position and will (hopefully) get out of his funk.

We are with you Ben, keep shooting and I bet you step up big here real soon when we need you.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight

We need Ben to step up, he's certainly capable.

We can't afford to habe him shoot how way out of it when games are tight lme they were the last two games. Maybe against the ucfs or usfs at home it's fine but he shouldn't be on the floor in a close game against Cincy for instance or away at games like temple or tulsa

Problem is he may have to be on the floor.

[RedBlueSMU]

The thing is it's not just his shooting. It's the ridiculous turnovers like in the Cincy game when he makes the awful pass on the 3 on 1. Then the play last night that really set me off was when he rebounded the Tulsa miss late in the game and then gets it stolen. And then he commits a foul. It's just mistake after mistake after mistake. It's so old.
