Brimah Out 6-8 Weeks with Broken Finger

Enoch needs to be ready for the 280 lb bowling ball of Ridley on the 29th. Don't think Phil will be able to control him unless he takes charges all game.

We're better off in the long run, team will be forced to play better d, Adams and Gibbs will get more time on the court together. Brimah will be what he is when he gets back. I think it means a few more losses and hopefully an overall better team in March.

I can understand the sentiment if this team was undefeated or had 1 loss and already had 2-3 more quality wins in the bag, but if more losses start accumulating with Brimah out, that long run might already be too late...

What the what?!? We have zero idea of what actually happened in practice, yet you're blaming the trainers for not taping his fingers enough? Seriously? #peakboneyard

It was sarcasm with a heavy dash of poking fun at Brimah's limited skill set. I know, I know, it's in bad taste.

This x1000. This is the true consequence of this injury. The road to the tournament just got much thinner and we need to maintain intensity if we want to have any hope of even being in the tournament when Brimah returns.

Start Facey now. Jalen has a great future ahead as a husky but he really struggled in his first start.

Lol, that's the rational way to react after a freshman's first-ever start.

Completely agree.
 
Enoch and Nolan are the only two centers on the squard now. Time for on the job training with Enoch.

Nolan should start with Facey as major backup. Enoch is very slow to react on defense and is often out of position.

Enoch is far from ready. This is about Facey, Nolan, and going small.
 
I don't feel confident about this as our defense has been bad even with AB. Now we will be carved out inside and out. We will need to score a lot to win.
 
Would consistent full court pressure help mitigate our lack of an inside presence?
 
Damn....hey lets keep a positive perspective here, he's not out for the season, and this will improve each players individual defense and instill good habits moving into March. We're not losing too much with rebounding so that's a plus. I'm really hoping this light a fire under Shonn Miller, we need 7-10 boards from him on a consistent basis moving forward for us to have a chance.

Teams are going to try and light us up on the offensive glass, which in some cases this season has already happened with Brimah in the lineup. Have to correct this moving forward and of course Shonn plays an integral role. It's very intriguing who will fill Brimah's role. I think Ollie will use a mixture of all three in Facey, Enoch & Phil depending on matchups. I think we'll see the most starting out of Phil, (experience/defensive footwork).

But man what a loss and a major hole in our defense now. I really don't see him missing more than a month. Heal up quickly Amidah!!!
 
Well, this sucks.

Tough to replace his presence inside. Bench players will just have to step up.
 
Our awful defense just got even worse, and the one thing we absolutely can't afford is to be even worse than we already are on defense. Brimah is the one guy who helps compensate for how horrible most of the players on this team are defensively (by blocking shots and being an intimidating presence in the paint).

I hate to say this, but I think we're in big trouble. I really hope I'm wrong.

First, everyone saying 'the Brimah bashers get their wish', stop. You look stupid.

Second, throw Enoch out there and see what happens. He's a top-100 recruit...this should not be beyond him. We might be the better for it by the time March rolls around.

There aren't many people who actually do not want Brimah at all, but they exist.

We have the #29 defense in kenpom.
 
I agree bigs need to step up but my god the guards need to play some semblance of defense. Sagging off their men and allowing them to shoot virtually uncontested threes has to stop. I get that Lowell scored a lot of points in paint but it felt like almost all of their threes were uncontested.

Agree it's Enoch's time. One thing the TV announcer pointed out last game - Enoch actually presents himself in the post and seals his man - the guards need to be aware of that and occasionally get him the ball. He gives them a good target.
