Spoiler Alert... You only have to watch Brink for like 3-5 minutes before she fouls out.

I dunno, Cam's got 85 PFs in 30 games, ONO is 73 in 27, so not that different per game. And Cam has more points, rebounds, and blocks per game, so she's being utilized more. Definitely her Achilles' Heel, but the haters make it sound like she's barely in long enough to impact the game. With one exception -- the Tennessee game -- that hasn't generally been true.

The thing with Brink is that Tara pulls her as soon as she picks up a foul. Sometimes she plays most of the 1st quarter, sometimes she's on the bench 60 to 90 seconds into the game. I've seen a few games where she was clearly taking over, on both ends of the floor, but her minutes get severely limited because of fouls.

I'm just pullin ya chain...sort of. She does foul in bunches and at the worst of times. You know she drives the coach nuts. She just can't hold back trying for a block if that ball gets near her.
