Phil Nolan's defense

[UConn17]

I know that he is still foul-prone, and maybe he takes one-too-many charges, but his defense this tournament has not gotten enough credit. He has been very solid against Adrian Payne and Patric Young, and if Brimah gets into foul trouble tomorrow night, he might be key in guarding Johnson/Randle/Lee.

He has been very good and risen to the occasion. He's fighting hard and holding his own against some much bigger guys.

Might be? Absolutely IS, no matter the scenario. Gonna need the kid to play well.

The key was that Nolan didn't commit a foul in the last 4 minutes of the game when he had 4 fouls. That was at a time when the game still could have gone either way. Still played solid D too. We've got 15 fouls for big men. I expect to use most of them, but I expect the D will be great too.

He will draw a charge at a key time tomorrow night.
