Our bigs - a two headed monster

[aceboon]

I like when they play Tarris with Samson. But to your point, the Butler game, neither Samson nor Tarris could defend that Butler center. In addition to playing Sigare only when there is foul trouble for our other 2 bigs, if Tarris/Sampson show they can’t grab an offensive rebound or play D, I think Sigare needs to come in to see what he can do.

I like him a lot - while not a scorer - he can be dominate underneath on both ends of the floor rebounding/playing D.

very loose definition of dominant, we've seen dominant centers at UConn, I like Singare's potential in year 3/4, he hasn't shown anything that says he can dominate a game right now.

Since you brought it up..............

For the season:
Fouls- 38

For his career:
Fouls- 177
Rebounds- 164

That is unbelievable.

Statistics don't lie, but if anybody knows, what is his plus/minus when he is on the court? Doesn't that have a lot to say about his overall impact?

Samson and Tarris together is exciting, we did it once already this season, correct? Alex 3,Liam 2 Hass 1. It’s probably gettin too late to fool around, but I d like to see 10-15 min with that lineup

The Nowell situation(if healthy) reminds me a bit of the Evers Fagnano one. Many on the Yard couldn't understand the reluctance to play Fagnano over Evers, and similarly a portion of the Yard doesn't see why Nowell shouldn't play ahead of Mahaney at PG. Tomorrow we see the final chapter of the Evers Fagnano saga, while the Mahaney Nowell saga hasn't really begun in earnest.

Thanks for this reply. I didn't have any idea that Uconn was in the "Fenway Bowl" and hadn't followed football. I had no idea what the Evers Fagano comparison was. My son is home so we can watch can watch the game together at 11:00 today!

The fact that Singare is a huge drop off says a lot about how good our bigs have become. In the Calhoun days Singare would have been our best center many years. I love his potential and I think there’s a lot more there. As a third stringer, he’s a monster.

It’s kind of insane

Last year it was +4.5. This year it is +10.7, which is #1 on the team over Karaban (+10.4) and Tarris (+9.5)
