10 blocks. Good start. AB had 8pts, 3 boads, and 5 blocks. And DD had a DD

Announcer is saying Brimah as "Breye-mah" rather that "Bree-mah." Anybody know if that is correct?

He was right, as per the pronunciation guide on the UConn website. I was shocked as well.

There's a lot to look forward to in that young man's game......Amida

Hey mau, unable to get game info until now; and, yeah I know it's probably a typical pre-season exhibition; but, briefly, what do you think. I saw that offensive board stat...a concern? Team effort should be really high at this stage especially among the bigs jockeying for positions & minutes. And, by the way, score? Thanks!

GO HUSKIES!!!

You guys are being suckered. Amida and Niels are making fools of Americans. Niels got Amida in on the gag. He said, "Tell them to pronounce your name with an 'eye' in there, it's hilarious. They sound like idiots." Niels told Leon to tell everyone the "r" in his last name is silent, but Leon has some respect.

damn Amida gets down the floor like a jet

I too was amazed at how quick he gets down the floor for a big fella.

His stature and long arms reminds me of david robinson...if he becomes 1/2 the talent david had...watch out.
