Ok, Big Ern I will bite. Give me your "Exhibit A" as to why I am wrong. We are talking about a guy who is averaging 4 pts and 2.8 rebounds, cant stay in a game due to foul problems, and has gotten worse instead of better as the season went on. The thought that he will average 20 and 10 like mentioned above makes this board unreadable to me.

You think Brimah has gotten worse this season? Did you really just say that? And you think this freshman will never be more than what he is now? And I'm supposed to take the time to try to prove you wrong? Save your hysterical rants for the chatroom - at least you'll have a sympathetic audience there.

Who said he had to ever average 2o and 10? You?
How about a kid who has been playing basketball a total of 5 years maybe now, who has shown things only a few who have put that uniform on have? He has a ways to go but he will get there and you will have crow dinners for a while……..if he averages 20 and 10 DHam, Rodney, Sam Jr., Prince, Turtle and all the others who stick around won't be very good now will they. If he improves to say 8 and 6 with 3 blocks a game next year and then 10/8/4 and maybe even 14/11/5 by his senior year do you think that would be a project? Guess again, his ceiling just needs some paint…...

Exhibit A: As he physically matures he will naturally get bigger and stronger. He is also in an NBA style weight program for the first time. These factors will make him tougher to move in the paint and will result in AB better able to maintain defensive positioning for rebounding and establish offensive position when we have the ball. The result of his natural development as a human being should improve his rebounds and points.

You are talking about a freshman with limited basketball experience and you think he won't get better? The kid has skills, a great attitude and he will be an important piece going forward. Will he be Patrick Ewing? Probably not but he doesn't have to be. BTW, he hasn't gotten worse.
.-.
to say Brimah has gotten worse is patently absurd. No, he can't yet cover Montezl Harrell, that doesn't mean he's gotten worse. Hasheem Thabeet had a hard time with Dejuan Blair, this stuff happens at that age and experience.
As I said in another post, the problem with this team is they are no better than they were in january, and thats a problem I'll lay that at least partially on Ollie. Good teams play their best in March, we are not doing that...not even close.

Anatomy of failure:
The key point was when we went from being only seven points down early in the second half, to being 22 points down with 9:34to go.
Lazy perimeter defense on four occasions by Shabazz.
Boat had one ill-advised drive into the lane where he was gobbled up by a Van Treese.
Two really bad turnovers by Kromah on offense including a bad pass that was intercepted, intended for Giffey and a ill-advised charge. Kromah also totally failed to even attempt to box out Harrell on a couple of occasions.
A couple of blown calls by the officials in Louisville's favor (for example a travel by Smith was called a foul on Olander).
An awful pass by Nolan that was picked off easily by Smith.
And ill-advised entry pass by Boat that was easily picked off.
A good pass by Samuel that was fumbled away by Nolan.
Four perimeter jump shots that were absolutely bricked by Bazz despite having room.
In addition players just melted inside against Harrell when a hard foul or two may have adjusted his outlook a bit.
