that as soon as we pulled Brimah, despite his offense issues with broken hand et al, we fell apart? Nuf said
Stupid. He was awesome on defense. That had no effect.Did anyone notice that when AB dropped the ball when by himself that the crowd woke up and the landslide began?
I'm not saying he isn't a great defender, he is for sure, but down the stretch he couldn't deal with Bond on the glass, Shonn was a better matchup, and who else could he guard who was on the court? He need to learn how to rebound fast, as good of a rebounder Dham is, he should never average 5 more rebounds than Brimah.People that can't recognize how big of an effect Brimah has on defense are just telling everyone they have no basketball IQ. Yes he is horrible on offense and can't really rebound but his defensive impact should not be questioned. Ollie sat him because he fumbled away a dunk, just a dumb decision by our coach.
Brimah has a broken finger that is clearly not healed, what is Nolan's excuse?If Brimah sawed his hands off and used giant flippers would anyone notice?
Nolan's excuse is that he has spent 4 years of his life under the worst big-men tutelage in American basketball. Actually no he has no excuse for missing bunnies.Brimah has a broken finger that is clearly not healed, what is Nolan's excuse?
I am glad you were able to watch your first UConn basketball game tonight, hope you can catch some more in the futureBrimah is awful. Our defense got a lot better when he was out injured.
We lost our ability to block shots underneath. Therefore they could drive, force the defense and pass outside for open three. Something they could not do all nite. Brimah's presence is huge! Why pull him him unless he's fouling out? Plus why Gibbs running the offense all night? Not his strength. Adams in crunch time off the bench?
Facey should have played in place of Phil. I know he's hit or miss, but he actually grabs boards when he's on. It's game to game, but at least throw him out there and see if he's "on" that night.

i was watching bond go over Brimah's back during the comeback with no call.
OK he alters shots, that I give you but he's pushed around down there like a little baby and no rebounds. Let's not talk about his hands which were terrible when he was healthy. He waves a great towel on the bench. (I'm on a rant here but I'm always going to be grateful for St. Joe's) next year I want a big lummox who can eat space, not be thrown to the floor and has decent hands.People that can't recognize how big of an effect Brimah has on defense are just telling everyone they have no basketball IQ.
