Brimah/Nolan/Facey/Enoch

[Palatine]

48 minutes, 13 points, 10 rebounds, 8 fouls, 3 blocks.

That's a meaningful contribution from the center position.

I guess...not all that great though. Brimah didn't play well and Phil was OK. Neither were great on defense, kept losing their guy for wide open 3s although missed every time.

 

[MexicoHusky]

We have a good collection of bodies at center

they're not used to guarding players who shoot the three and contesting threes... they played well, brimah is slowly getting back to game fit

About 6 missed 2-footers between them. A few didn't even catch iron. Just dunk'em guys. I'm really looking forward to Enoch's development. It's going to be so nice to have a big guy with athleticism and strength. He's going to clear space for rebounds.

If UConn can get that EVERY game from that position - it wont lose many games
Although ECU didn't have much themselves at the 5, the number are good

We have 4 guys with weaknesses but can all be good match ups in a situations and we have 20 fouls. They can all play better than today but still like the options.

Each guy brings something different to the table, KO has a diverse range of options at his disposal.

If you're going to put Facey in that discussion, you should add Miller as well. He plays the 5 sometimes when we go small.

Yeah but we know what we get with Shonn and we need him to be out of the "25 foul" loop and stay away from trouble. The others can interchange as you say because they all bring something different and unique. Sometimes real "unique" LOL

also, that guy missed nearly every 3. i would imagine KO is perfectly fine if thats the shot they're taking. williams was taken out of the game by purvis & they shut everything else off.

Brimah was totally gassed in the second half. Takes a bit to get back to game shape. I like that we have guys who are picking it up.

I mean today sure but the kid shoots 33% so isn't awful by any means. Don't think he was happy with the fact no one even thought about closing on him.

That's strange his injury shouldn't have kept him from losing it that fast and he didnt play too many long stretches?

It didn't seem he did,but that one sequence in the second half where AB missed a couple bunnies and then was late to close on a shooter made KO call time to get him out.

There's no substitute for game tempo. All the cardio in the world can't compensate for the njances of speed, acceleration, slowing down, speeding up, etc.

doesn't look like we will see Shonn play the 5 much from here on out.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Wait, is this like a sarcastic thread? I didn't get to watch the game but between 4 players that's pretty bad.

Not if they all played the whole game, no. But cumulatively at one position, yes it is.

 

[SubbaBub]

I'll take that every game, no further questions asked. Having that kind of depth will be helpful in the NCAA.

If that was a single centers average he would be first team all conference, so yeah we will take it!

We're going to need more from Brimah.
