Brimah is averaging 6 pts and 5 rebs per game. Last night he had 2 and 4 with 4 blocks. He is a complete liability late in the game because he is a horrible free throw shooter. I would not call him formidable at all.

He can be dominant in the lane. Despite his missed FTs, he kept the Cuse from scoring inside. He's never been a prolific scorer or rebounder.

Ok, just have never thought much of him.

Brimah is long and he can block against lesser bigs, but beyond that, he's actually pretty much a non-factor.
Syracuse and UConn are both pretty bad this year.

This brings me great joy.

Outside of D'Angelo Russell who was ridiculous in his year there, they've taken a major step back from where they were in the early past of this decade. Kind of odd.

I'd say re-emergence of indiana, michigan and uk as make recruiting players has something to do with it.

It will be a great day at work today.

Aren't there health concerns with Mattas back? Maybe he's lost the drive?

doesn't really matter...as long as we are ranked and they aren't, im good with it

pathetic, I know, but it is what it is

Matta's strategy of playing patsies at home to start the season bites him in the butt.


From our invaluable ESPN researcher Jacob Emert: Ohio State 122-8 at home in nonconference games under Thad Matta but check this: 108-3 first 11 seasons and now after FAU loss 14-5 the last two seasons. RPI 93

Bad back. Conducts practices in a rolling office chair.

He has had health issues dating back to his XU days. There are a lot of friends of mine in Columbus who thought this would be the year he steps down...not sure why, but apparently something has gotten worse.

I've got a hunch that won't be the last pun we see here.

Anyone else watching Butler vs Indiana State tonight? Good game so far
