ABJ's Marla Ridenauer with an excellent column on Zeke today.  She essentially called him out on his emotional shortcomings, which were apparent after we started doubling him.  Anyone who watched the telecast could see shots of Marshall throwing himself a pity party for two-thirds of the game.  Looked like was going to start crying when he missed a couple of gimmes.  He doesn't seem to have a killer instinct and has very, very thin skin.

I get the impression that Zeke plays basketball because that's whats expected of a skinny 7 footer and it was a way to pay for college. I don't see any passion for the game whatsoever. When we played them at Akron this year Zeke got called for a foul and Dambrot pulled him out of the game and he was literally crying on the bench. And not in an angry/frustrated way but in a weepy, why don't I get everything I want, way. It was uncomfortable to watch. He is the polar opposite of Cooper in every way.

There was an article on Marshall this week that confirmed that the only reason he started to play basketball was because his mother made him.  He doesn't seem to love the game.

I am originally from Dayton so I already do not like Steve Bardo, (any Flyer fan should know why), all the excuses he made for Marshall became extremely annoying last night.  Reggie and Jon ate Zeke up last night.

there's a reason why a 7 footer with Zeke's talent is playing in the MAC...
