‘Ice Men’ win it for LIU-Brooklyn
Hermannsson and Fridriksson Lift Blackbirds over UNH in OT
There was no way for LIU-Brooklyn head coach Jack Perri to replace Jason Brickman.
His former point guard led the nation in assists in each of the previous two seasons, served as the sparkplug for a unit that advanced to a Northeast Conference-record three consecutive NCAA Tournaments and shattered virtually every league passing record on his way out of Downtown Brooklyn last year.
So rather than trying to find a player who could fill Brickman’s sneakers in the LIU backcourt, Perri found two – in Iceland, of all places.
