As a freshman at Northeastern University, Brickley was stuck behind current NBA point guard José Juan Barea (Dallas Mavericks). When Barea was sidelined with an injury, Brickley started and had a season-high 10 points in 22 minutes in a win vs. Puerto Rico Mayaguez. After the departure of Northeastern's coach Ron Everhart (Duquesne University), Brickley transferred to Southern New Hampshire University. At SNHU, Brickley scored 13.0 points a game as a sophomore.

During Brickley's junior year at SNHU, he decided to transfer to the University of Louisville to play under coach Rick Pitino.
