Plenty of bigs that have that skill set are NBA players.

First of all, he's not a "great passer." He's a better passer than Oriakhi and Okwandu, but so am I. Who's his comparison in the NBA? A 6-8 power forward with range out to maybe 18 feet, who's slow afoot and can't get off the ground? I dont see a lot of those guys.
 
Tyler Olander has about as much chance as playing a minute in the NBA as I do, and thats not a knock on the kid. He's just not NBA material.

Now, let's talk about how stupid the two foul rule is. Who gives a if Daniels and Olander have two fouls? Tolksdorf and Nolan have no buisness playing D-1 minutes right now.

Phillip Nolan... just focus on playing defense and rebounding, ok kid?

missed layup and turnover yeesh

Nolan looks like he can maybe develop into something. More upside than Wolf.

He had four assists in each of the first two games. He is very good at standing in the high post and finding guys cutting to the hoop. Had a really good assist to Evans in the last game between two defenders. The rest of what you said is true and I see that. Again, not saying he'd be a star or even a consistent player or even have a consistent roster spot, just saying that if he could go to his right (which is a HUGE if), his game would be a lot better... Let's move on.
 
the wake freshmen PG is going to be a real good player. he's dominated boat and bazz
 
Ok, how many times are our bigs going to lose rebounds? Squeeze he damn ball!

Boat to Wolf. "Was that gorgeous! Was that gorgeous!"

Yes, announcer. It was.
 
.-.
we are up 4 after playing a pretty shaky half and giving WF like 4 runouts.

we'll be fine.

Wolf has given us some rebounding, defense, finishing at the rim. I"LL TAKE IT!
 
I like how they turned it around at the end of the half. Looked like Wake had all the momentum. One timeout from Ollie and the team was back.
 
as long as DeAndre and Tyler avoid foul trouble we'll be fine

yes. i know its only game 3 but it is very difficult to not be impressed by coach ollie
 
I love how everytime Ollie is interviewed he either says that is or that is not UConn Basketball. He has a perfect picture of UConn Bball under Calhoun and he is going to make this team play that way. Defensive tenacity!

He's measuring up WF, he'll show up 2nd half like he did with Vermont. These kids sometimes get too hyper in the early going.

we've missed a ton of easy chances too. Should be up double digits right now.

Couldnt Agree more. He just seems to be so in control and the team so obviously buys into his brand.

He's had to be creative with his line ups. Really great job with so many players off their game.
 
Who ever said WF was terrible? They have some nice young players along with Harris. Thank Goodness they can't shoot free throws.

This is turning into a another nice challenge for our squad. As soon as Tyler, Bazz and Omar get going we should run away with this game. But I'm not sure WF will let us.
