Boat is dishing out the damages upon the Titans!

 

[BoatShow]

My lone thought so far: There must be 18 REALLY GOOD teams in the nation.

Niels trending right now on twitter lol.

Brimah is so damn good already as a big man. He hit a baby hook, he made good rolls a few times that they didn't go to him on, but a few times I noticed he didn't go for a shot. Since our shot blocking reputation began, our great blockers always would go for every shot in their early years and even as upperclassmen. Sometimes you have to let them go expecting you to jump so they can't absorb the contact right, and he already knows to do that in game #3 of his career with only 4 years playing basketball.

This kid is going to be huge

I guess Boat wants a triple double. 7-7-4

 

[BoatShow]

These guys are pretty good.

The ability to do "IT" is not measured by the time. I hope Brimah can do "it" throughout the season, and by the tourney time, he is our "Iron Mountain" guarding our basket.

When Daniels gets clicking on all cylinders with these guys look out

 

[caw]

Napier with a quiet 5-2-6.

Calhoun with 13 3-6 shooting

Giffey 5-6 for 15

 

[Palatine]

Nice quiet Boneyard. I wonder why?

 

[BoatShow]

Comparing him to Dakari Johnson and Joel Embiid, his length and athleticism match both. Neither can run the floor close to as fast as he can but he will need to fill out and gain seasoning before he will be NBA ready but junior year...watch out!

I realize Giffey is playing amazing but UConn is going to need Daniels to really compete in March. Hopefully he can pull it together.

I really like how Boat and obviously Napier are playing.

Both those guys are huge though.

 

[ctchamps]

I'm assuming no chat? Haven't seen a link and the last one didn't work. Giffey double double on the waay no prob. nailing it, and rebounding

Omar has missed quite a few 3s this year without hitting the rim.

Omar has never ever missed a midrange shot his entire career at UConn.

Nolan using that hook to free himself for layups...not getting called for it so keep doin it

 

[upstater]

Is anyone waiting for Nolan tto get an offensive foul called when he elbows people out of the way? I know that's a good Pitt Panther move but...

Shabazz... too cool. 3

Hah, just wrote the same thing

 

[alexd]

I'm trying not to get to excited about this team. Really trying.

 

[huskyharry]

Great to see DD make some shots and get some confidence.
Also great to see OC playing with confidence.
Neither should be jacking NBA range threes early in the shot clock and both need to stay on front of their man on D.

U notice the same stuff i do...u also notice brimah being a big cheerleader on the bench after hoops?

 

[alexd]

[ASweet3781]

Thank God. I was thinking some were ready to kick him off the team.
