Octavius Ellis

Ellis did get hammered.

And even though he did get hammered, you can't lose your cool like that.

Not in today's time. I guarantee to you that hammons never play street ball

He doesn't get excuse for losing his cool. Shouldn't have done it. I'm just saying looking at situation, game as a whole. I don't blame Ellis as much as others. He got elbowed numerous times and guy said something and he lost his cool. Hammons and haas are just as bad and I have no doubt in my mind it was game planned to get Ellis to react to something. Refs should've cleaned it up long before. They sat by idly for 35 minutes letting Ellis get pummeled and then only Ellis gets punished.

refs don't care about our well being.

I certainly hope a ref doesn't care about my well being, let alone yours. I would hope they were concentrating on the task at hand, not me or you watching on tv

Basketball is a physical game, and the ncaa is a very emotional tounament. Octavius wants to win so bad and it shows, he plays with a lot of attitude and seems to play with a chip. Ya he lost his cool, but it happens that doesnt make him a bad guy. i hope he keeps his attitude and channels that aggresion but by no means does this change my opinion of him. I hope he mans up these 5 star big man tomarrow!

Purdue just did a smarter job at throwing elbows. Coaches have to be looking at that and call it to refs attention.

I still think DeBerry deserves the start.

I still think DeBerry deserves the start.

I dunno. He was running gassed out there. Got to keep that big body still as long as we can get away with until we need him, which we absolutely will. Moving that much personmeat up and down when we play at pace is absolutely killer and we can't have him gassed, at all, under any circumstance. Fouls will be plenty and widespread I'm afraid.

Hell especially when Caupain got bench for getting technical. Now I understand why guys are transferring. It's double standards on team

Any chance at winning we need DeBerry playing gassed. It is what it is right now. Kentucky players get tired also and their younger

I must of missed who is transferring out

 

[Bulldog01]

I must of missed who is transferring out

Davis, Lawrence, Strickland, Mormon not to mention guyn basically abandoned team when we needed his leadership more than ever.

We had 7 scholarship players celebrate with team in locker room.

 

[HoosierCat]

Davis and Lawrence got hardship waivers to transfer, Strickland didn't buy in, guyn got injured and they've pulled it together without him.

We don't know whether or not Ellis will start tomorrow all Davis said was that he would be in the lineup, which means on the lineup card.

I want Ellis to start for the simple reason that if Corey starts he will be even more prone to little ticky tack fouls. You know that they will call the start of NCAA games close and if he is in there he is so foul prone that we will literally have our only back-up for Ellis on the bench with 2 fouls. Starting him does nothing in my mind but hurt his ability to effect the game.

Let the game get going and play him in the role he is comfortable in because we all know we will need him in this game to contend.

Everybody these days getting hardship waivers. I've NEVER seen injured player leave team.

One not there was your boy Mormon, and I don't think its the coaches fault he's not there

Ellis or Moore

Mormon isn't gone yet. Don't give up on him so easily.
