Props to Strength/Conditioning Staff

We did not look like we played 60 minutes yesterday.

Honestly, the fatigue did show a bit, mostly in Brimah's minutes. Thank god Shonn stepped up huge (I said in chat it's actually a good thing he fouled out yesterday) and we shut Bond down in the second half

Thank God. We needed them to overcome the First Night intergender scrimmage.

Brimah won the husky challenge right? He did look tired though.

Shonn only played 19 yesterday, so it makes sense.

Also, a special bit of dap to Bond for that technical. It slowed Temple's momentum until DHam & Co. eventually stopped it entirely. Have fun in the NIT, kid!

Looks like that "gymnastics-based strength coach" got the job done after all.

Not getting the Brimah tired comments, in his time in there he was all over the boards and very active, KO just seemed more comfortable going with a smaller lineup since Bond had the ability to face up from the perimeter.

I have said all along he is good at conditioning and flexibility - power strength is where I have an issue. Proof of that watch our games - Bigs in particular require power strength.
Also, don't buy into this Doris Burke stuff that men in their 20's can't play two days in a row with a few overtimes.

The fact that you actually think you're right and don't sound completely insane when it comes to stuff like the first night scrimmage and Travis Illian previously working with a gymnastics team will never stop being funny. I wonder how much coach Illian stresses this "power strength" of which you speak.

Power strength is not real complicated - just watch guys get pushed around and give up offensive rebounds. Additionally, UConn needs to run and that often starts with a rebound.

 

[UCweCONN]

Yes, the strength and conditioning work is really coming into play now. We've worn down our last two opponents late in the games. I was going to start a post about Brimah's limited minutes. Is he injured?

So you don't think he emphasizes power and strength in any way? What's your source for that claim?

You're a dunce.

Because Brimah doesn't look like this after 3 whole years in Storrs..

This is what you gotta do to even have a shot at looking like The Rock. Absolutely crazy diet some writer tried to match:

The strength and conditioning is Ollie getting into these guy's head. DHam is finally realizing that if he doesn't finish, he hasn't done anything.
