Thomas spent much of the night matched up against Nnoko. He said he wasn’t bothered by the power and strength of Nnoko, a 6-10, 250-pound sophomore from Yaounde, Cameroon.
“Nothing at all,” Thomas said. “I struggled because I didn’t make shots. He didn’t do anything defensively to stop me. I had him in foul trouble. He was the one sitting the bench in the first half. He didn’t have a breakout game. I didn’t see any effectiveness from him on how he affected the game.”
[Redacted] saw it differently.
“He’s a big man, he really is,” [Redacted] said. “Yeah (Thomas) struggled in there, yeah. Give Nnoko credit.
At this point, I'm just laughing. He really has no connection with his players. He attributed Travis McKie's slump to a bum ankle that he does not exist. Travis said he stubbed his toe but his ankle is fine. You cannot make this stuff up.
It would be in the best interest of the basketball program and this year's team for Ron to make up an excuse and no longer allow Buzz to give interviews- before or after the game. Let Battle, Chill, Rusty and the players handle it.
