I know hes much maligned and im one of his biggest detractors but i thought he was outstanding on defense against payne today. hes a big reason we`re going to texas and msu is not. big ups mr. nolan

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

[joober jones]

This!

 

[HooHusky]

And Boat stepped up on D
as well.

Nolan was great. The interior D played by him and Dre won us the game

 

[AfgHusky15]

thats the beauty of having 3 different centers who have different styles and strengths...gives KO much more options

 

[Dove]

That last dunk s amazing!

 

[boog204]

He was outstanding... We essentially made Payne a 3 point shooter and negated any supposed interior advantage they had.

True! Played well against a guy who appeared twice his size and never backed down.

But he might want to work on the 'pass to an open man under the basket instead of dribbling and taking shot' aspect of his game - maybe KO might remind him of that, soon.

Loved the hammer by PN. He slammed the nail in the coffin.

 

[Danzz]

Nolan may have been the difference today.

 

[superjohn]

I was screaming at him when he missed the bunny but he manned up, his defense really tightened up second half on Payne. This is a team in every sense of the word, never been prouder of the Huskies!

 

[CL82]

"Who on UConn can guard Payne?"

Phil Nolan, that's who.

 

[jdb50]

Hope someone can put the video of that dunk up. I'm yelling pass to Giffey, could not believe he got the dunk. Determination by the Phil.

 

[UCweCONN]

Need a replay of the Nolan dunk. Jordanesque.

 

[Scot-e]

That dunk was a MONSTER!! I was stunned.

Me too earlier this year. Guilty as charged. That's what guys with GUTS do. They prove their detractors wrong. Phil gets the last laugh on me and it is definitely the loudest. Couldn't be happier with the effort today. He was a difference-maker.

When he took off I never thought he'd made it to the rim! Good for him. PN does so many things that don't show up on the stat sheet.

 

[Davidm]

Nolan played HUGE today, He faught all game against payne and made him run. Payne was so winded at the end of the game.

Tons of props for Nolan

 

[intlzncster]

Best part is this gives him huge confidence going into the next game. That's been one of his issues this year.

It was his best game in a husky uniform without a doubt. No real bonehead plays and his defense on Payne was outstanding! No way i thought he would be able to guard that guy in a million years but he did and did well.

And Boat stepped up on D
as well.

Remember last year, when the refrain around here was that Boat couldn't defend?

Nobody ever says that any more.
