UCLA

We play so slow it's painful sometimes.

If we get into a track meet with this UCLA team we lose by 10+

Troy's just getting hit with the law of averages...thankfully so is KJ!

Troy is playing horribly right now

 

[ZCat]

Wasn't that a foul on Ball ( that sent Evans to line). ??

 

[A_O]

Also, our D has been incredible against the highest rated O in the country!!!

If we don't turn the ball over at an unusually high clip, we win this game. Clean it up at halftime.

Yea.. Uh. Slow is why we are winning.

IF we were playing fast we'd be down 20

I get that but as often happens to us we dick around with the ball too long and have to force a panic move near the end of the clock, and in a game where we are turning it over at a high clip, can't be making panic moves.

Playing our pace which is great to see, HAVE to eliminate turnovers, simply unacceptable.

Wanna see a stop then a bucket before the buzzer for extra momentum heading into the half.

I think that we are at our best on offense when we push the tempo but we are playing exactly how we need to if we want to win this game.

We have brought it down to a 20 minute game. We got to take better care of the ball. They will pick it up in second half by trying to push tempo. We are playing to a 60-70 point game. Got to favor us if we keep it there.

 

[UC86]

Great play by Caupain to end the half!

"It starts with offense" - Mick Cronin, 2017

Pack it in, the aneurysm left him a changed man

 

[jacobkdoyle]

Stop the TO and we win. We aren't going to back down. Our SR leaders can be thanked for that.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

No body in foul trouble. We also bought a few minutes with our bench in that half. UCLA doesn't trail often. Let's see how the handle the pressure.

Someone forgot to tell UC that UCLA players are gods.

It's a fine line. You want to score but not to fast to get them going. If we don't turn the ball over we are probably up 10 and its a perfect half. The pace isn't the issue. It's turnovers

 

[Jon Rycek]

We have forced them to play our game. Only reason we aren't up double digits is careless turnovers and a couple questionable calls. Either way we are shooting the ball well and keeping everything in the half court. Now let's finish it. Go Cats!

We need to steal some baskets in transition like Cumberland did the one time. They look totally overmatched against Cumberland when he goes to the rim.
