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

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.
 
Napier with a quiet 5-2-6.

Calhoun with 13 3-6 shooting

Giffey 5-6 for 15

Boatright on pace for triple double
On pace for 14 pts 14 assists 8 rebounds..
Just shy on rebounds before half

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.

Omar has missed quite a few 3s this year without hitting the rim.
Omar has hit quite a few 3s this year.
Omar has never ever missed a midrange shot his entire career at UConn.

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
 
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.

ALERT: napier 2 rebounds 2 assists short of second consecutive triple dub...ryan boatright 4 rebounds 3 assists from triple dub
 
bazz and boat both have legitimate shots at triple dubs tonight. We're having another nice night on the boards from our guards

I saw it today, not before. I also thought Phil's move was pretty. All 3 of Phil, Brimah and Facey have go to moves down low.
