The Brimah/Nolan line up got us back in that game.

Two bigs and we played pretty well with them. It hurts us a bit offensely but it improved the defense massively.

BTW, the announcers didn't notice or mention it.

I wonder how often we can sacrifice that offense going forward. I've been one of Phil's most ardent defenders here, but the bunnies just have to start going in sooner or later...

Practicly Olajuwon and Sampson out there

The only reason we played that was due to the matchup. I don't think we have seen that since the Duke game. Kelis Fisher is lost.

Nolan pretty much shut down Nichols who was killing Brimah.

I agree that the bigs were generally 'good enough' last night. Brimah didn't foul a lot, Facey wasn't great but he was in there getting the ball, and Nolan provided decent defense, however when he took both hands and shoved Nichols, I almost had an aneurysm... Usually I'm the one saying 'thats BS, he just jumped away', but that was the most blatant foul ever... just fight him for the ball, maybe you foul then, but theres no point in just giving them a blatant foul
