Basden the Beast...

He has improved so much at muscling/slicing through traffic and getting to the rim. He is a NBA #15-20 pick and will make someone very happy. I will miss him more than any other Niner that we’ve ever had.

Let’s get on a hell of a run in the NCAA for Eddie!!! With this team, and with him leading us, anything is possible.

^ What he said.

Eddie’s number will hang in Halton.

He is the freakin man

I think that his steal at half court with the finishing dunk and foul is making the top ten on sports center tonight. That one play showed his agility, agressiveness and strenght. Great night for the guy.

I missed that play during the 'net TV broadcast, but got to rewatch it on Gamenight a few times (thank you, DVR box).

Freakin’ nasty. ED-DIE, ED-DIE, ED-DIE - I can’t wait to see these boys against USF.

if I’m not mistaken, Eddie was part of same class as Rodney White. They have taken two very different paths but I believe Eddie will make NBA, will be very interesting to see how he does vs. how Rodney has done.

He was not. He was the year after Demon and Rodney’s class. He was in the class on Jobey/Cam’s senior year. It was Eddie, Mitch (redshirted), and the Curtis Nash experiment.

i don’t think i’ve seen anyone have such an impact on the game, or want the ball more, or be in the right place at the right time since demarco. AND he plays better defense than galen young. i agree, the number 13 will be on the halton wall, hopefully by the end of the season.

well they were different classes, but technically both freshmen at same time, Rod being redshirt thanks to NCAA

I think your off by a year, Rodney’s one and only season was the 2000-2001 season, Eddie didn’t start his career untill 2001-2002.

i say after this year eddie is the best “all-around” player in school history. not the best shooter, scorer,or etc. but best overall. any objections?

He’s good but I don’t think he’s good enough to make the league. He has a few holes in his game. Not a great ball handler or passer. And he plays kind of soft at times.

You obviously haven't seen enough of Eddie!!! He's got sweet skills!!!

Here’s my analysis of some memphis players:
Carney, one dimensional, purely a scorer, good outside shot and slasher w/midrange game, not outstanding defensively.
Washington, amazing speed but often out of control, good outside shot, terrible passer, very selfish with the ball.

The point? neither one of these punks could hold a candle to eddie, he realizes he plays on a TEAM and still stands out.

yeah I think your're right, I was thinking this would've been rodney's senior year for some reason?

The great thing about Eddie is that he started as a role player and has remained a role player all four years. His role has just become much larger.

What amazes me is even though I saw the talent Eddie had early on, I never imagined in my wildest years that he’d be a candidate for CUSA POY. I think most of us last year wouldn’t have even put him on the first or maybe even second teams for this year.

Where would I place Eddie on the all time Niner list? That’s hard to say…I don’t know if over four years you can even place him in the top 10 but for the impact he’s had in one year…he could be having the best year ever for an individual Niner. (Maxwell would certainly argue that point in '77). I think we have to wait until the season is over to see how far this team goes to really judge his overall impact.

Regardless, I think Eddie will reign as one of the all time favorite Charlotte players.
