Brima saved our tail...

Huge play by Amida.

He saved our ass!

 

[husky91]

Was major making that FT too. He is going to be a major stud, lottery in next 2 years

Huge play by Amida.

 

[blkknight1]

He was definitely the MAN tonight, without him we are sunk, but gotta give credit toBoat and DeAndre as well, Boat kept us in it in the first half and DeAndre hit some shots when we needed them and he played solid D when it was critical.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Amida saved our ass today. Without him we lose. Huge play at end of the game to tie.

Well done big guy!

 

[metsfan2323]

Very much like Okafor's big rebound vs Duke. We are blessed to have Brimah on our team.

 

[Danzz]

It is going to be a lot of fun watching this get better and better. Great kid and attitude too.

 

[Palatine]

Abso-freakin-lutely!

Great play by AB.

 

[intlzncster]

And the key stat: Brimah did not foul out.

 

[husky99]

hell yes.. big grab

 

[Brochacho]

Boat gave us 6 solid innings. DD held down the 7th and 8th. Amida closed the hell out of the 9th.

 

[Tommyboy]

And the key stat: Brimah did not foul out.

He played a long time with four fouls!

 

[NotADimeBack]

so many impulsive expletives on my part after that 3 pt play …

love how UConn almost always makes their tourney games instant classics

 

[Hoophound]

Bazz closed it too. Nasty and 1 drive and a bunch of free throws. Great team effort.

If I saw just our box score and you asked me how much I thought we won by based only on that I'd have guessed 15-20. That means St Joes, a good team as it is, played very well. This was a galvanizing event for our team. They were left for dead but they got up and started throwing punches anyway.

 

[CTBasketball]

Great play there and game from Amida.

Just to let you know, if Napier hits his shots and the refs didn't dog us the first 30 minutes, we win by 20.

Seriously, at one point the free throws were something like 21 attempted for ST Joes and only 3 attempted for UConn

Of course its a moot point now, no sense in bringing it up since they had to keep fouling at the end of the game putting us at the line, but still that kind of disparity in free throws is ridiculous.

It was ridiculous. The amount of walks in the 1st half was too damn high.

I broke my abacus counting the number of moving screens by St. Joe's too.

The St Joes' moving screens is what the Temple Coach Chaney to have his player deliberately go after a St Joes player.

 

[upstater]

The St Joes' moving screens is what the Temple Coach Chaney to have his player deliberately go after a St Joes player.

And they called a moving screen against Nolan right before a bone crusher on the other end. During the commercial break, Ollie was livid with the short ref.

 

[UCweCONN]

That putback and free throw was simply testiculo.

 

[BearJWS]

The St Joes' moving screens is what the Temple Coach Chaney to have his player deliberately go after a St Joes player.

ie. Ingram breaking the St. Joe's player's arm on a dirty play like in 2005. Now that was one dirty play of all time! Shameful! I think Chaney retired soon after that.

 

[huskyniner]

 

[Hongster]

Chaney is ugly inside and out.

 

[Samoo]

I'm in Ghana and always pull for the all Black Stars (except when we play them in Brazil). You can start calling him Black Star Brimah.

 

[superjohn]

Brimah absolutely saved our season but Boat and Daniels get the hockey assists. I thought any time we needed a big bucket Boat made something happen and at times later in the game it was Daniels. Shabazz ended up with what looks like player of the game stats but it was the other guys tonight. Bazz made the great drive for the and 1 in overtime and he filled up the stat sheet but he was off shooting the whole game and this was a team effort. St. Joe's was no joke.
