Bobby B

Woody is better but Bras is serviceable
 
Good to see. I've always wanted Bras to get more minutes to see what he could do but after his 0 for 12 start I thought we might not see him again this season, especially with Newton showing so much. BTW, is Bras only 6'7" (cuse.com) - he is often listed as 6'9" in his recruiting thread?

Of course, now I also want to see more Newton.

If Braswell can drop 10lbs, I think we have our next center.
 
Bobby B has shown since his first appearance that he knows how to play the zone.

Agreed. He’s been solid in the zone all along.
Which is rare for young ’s since the rotations can be difficult to master.
 
JB was really complimentary of Braswell's defense, calling him the team's best defensive forward. I would be surprised if he isn't the first forward off the bench going forward, which is fine with me if he keeps playing like this.
 
Braswell is a 3rd year Soph.

It's not like he just fell off the boat yesterday.

He was decent on D right away, was my point.

I recall a game (wanna say vs NCST?) where he had like 4 steals in a fairly small number of minutes.

But yes - it’s not a surprise that with his program experience that he’s good on D now.
 
I don't think it's hyperbole. He was very disruptive on defense when Gtown was making their late run.

I think it is when it was a 1 game sample and we're annointing him the best defensive forward in our zone in years.

I'm not disagreeing that he did not have a great game. But calling him best defender at the spot in years is getting very carried away.
 
I agree with the comments above in that this year will be a circus! I like the idea of canceling conference tournaments and starting pre-quarantine to prevent issues during the NCAA tournament. As soon as any postponements arise during the tournament, it will implode. If you have to quarantine, same as a loss. Of course I think we are about to learn a lot more about quarantines and postponements over the next two months.

Seems like a simple solution to me. If you aren't vaccinated by the time the tournament starts, you can't play. All of the critical personnel I know have already been vaccinated. The NCAA/conferences/colleges can afford to get every player vaccinated a week or two before the tournament.

I agree that it's too early to anoint him the most active in years. I thought your hyperbole comment was in regards to "we don't win this game without him".

Oh no, my fault! I wholeheartedly agree we don't win without him. He is playing very well the last few games. He appears more athletic and maybe more importantly, much more confident!
 
All these guys should get some burn in the first half and see if they are engaged or not. The fact that Bras can only get run is if there is literally nobody else to put in is crazy.

What is really crazy is people who post here who believe they know more about winning college basketball games and having winning seasons than a hall of fame coach who has the SECOND MOST WINS ALL-TIME AND HAS NEVER HAD A LOSING SEASON. Cray Cray all the way.
