Message being sent to Brimah?

[Huskies2324]

Is Ollie telling Brimah he has to earn his minutes?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

It's "Bridah."

 

[Stinger92860]

His low post back to the basket move has not improved at all. I don't understand why he can't use his length and extend.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

I love seeing him on the bench. I've been preaching it. He hasn't shown anything besides blocks to me for a while, he really needs to improve.

 

[polycom]

He also needs do a better job of not blocking the ball as hard has he can overtime. Blocking then giving up a wide open 3 because your block was a essentially a long rebound is useless.

 

[boog204]

Not sure if it's a message or not, but we need DHam at the 4 and Phil has played very well at the 5.

 

[Huskies2324]

looks like Brimah will have a very long summer of hard work doing drills on boxing out and rebounding. All he wants to do is try to block shots and throw down dunks from DHam lobs. If he doesn't want to do the dirty work then it appears his minutes may be limited.

Brimah would have been nice on that layup.

benching Brimah just cost us this game down the stretch

 

[specialisthusky]

Yes

Although, it may have also been the thing that got us back in the game.

Tanking on purpose to get Stone.

The team that was in there made the comeback and deserved to be in to the end.

 

[Kitaman]

Has a captain ever been benched before?

 

[sledog]

is the message to stick with socker?

KO has been about playing the right way. He wanted to win but more than likely sending message you got to be more than a one trick pony.

He needs lessons from Bill Russell.

Well coached game by KO. We got good shots after TOs.

 

[mauconnfan]

He has been playing little or no D unless he's blocking shots. He needed to be sent the message, they played better without him. 2 throws for shots as he can't even post up this guy and get a clean look. Watched a couple rebounds get stolen from him, ran from another - sorry it was getting real old and there needs to be that message. Problem is as i've said before, I'm not sure it will get much better even with that.

 

[jibsey]

AB had 2 "post moves" in this game where he backed the opposing player down a bit then just flung the ball up over his shoulder with no purpose. He was well guarded but had no thought to pass. No shot fake, foot work, nothing. Makes me wonder what he works on in practice. I like his blocks but if this is his game he's off the bench.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

In fairness the "throw it wildly in the general direction of the backboard" is his go-to-move. A travel is his counter.

 

[RipCity]

It's like he thinks his legs are stuck in cement once he gets the ball. He needs footwork desperately.

 

[imno1]

The problem with not have Brimah in there is we can't contain anyone from getting to the rim. At least with AB those shots get contested.

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Our Bigs as a unit are complete projects on offense. How the coaching staff hasn't at least instilled in them the ability to crash the glass for a board or occasional put back is beyond me. I've never know. A uconn team that made less second chance points than this one. Where is the undersized Adrian, Donny Marshall, Kirk King when you need him.
