Im pretty impressed with both teams. Im surprised how smooth quick and talented UCLA looks. Very pleased with our team. Many games against teams like this we look tentative and overmatched and just plain unskilled but its clear we have players that dont necessarily take a back seat. Hopefully UCLA doesnt get hot, they could be hard to beat

Well this entry pass problem needs to be fixed...

Really, dude?

Good half

Not a horrible 1st half. One point behind #14

Hey I'll take that first half. We missed a lot of open looks, but I love how we are neck and neck with them

Well Defense is freakin terrible. Can't guard a three to save our lives. Like how we are playing offensively at times.

Ball is going to be great. Range for days.

Yeah, hopefully UCLA doesn't start making us pay for it next half.

Good half. UCLA's shots will start to fall eventually though, we're going to have to weather a storm at some point.

That's why UCLA gonna be good once you push out on the three they got leaf and Welsh inside

UCLA put up a bunch of bad shots that went in. Felt like the rim was extremely soft on that end. Could just be that their players have great touch, but you can't expect all of those mid range heaves and bank shots to keep going on.

Ucla leads 35-34 at the half

Gotta defend the 3 better

Gotta hit those open looks

Gotta keep Tyler out of foul trouble and get the ball to him

Love the pace we forced them to

Not really fair to say the defense was terrible when we held the second highest scoring team in the nation under 40 for the second time all season. It wasn't perfect, but our transition D was excellent and we made them play in the half court.

Lol at people saying our d is terrible

Yes, dude.

You're missing a great game focusing on our f'ing unis, dude

With as bench-happy as Kennedy is with him, Davis really needs to cut out the stupid fouls.

Here we go...

I'm thinking the same thing. Our zone D was excellent. We extend our D beyond the arc like we should. UCLA is gone bomb threes from deep. That's what they do.

Good first half. I though after the first five minutes we didn't do a great job of getting the ball down low to our posts. Hopefully Hogg can find his shot in the second half.

Defensively I though we did ok. UCLA hit some pretty impressive 2 points shots, but I think we need to do a better job defending the 3. They're a very good shooting team that will start knocking those down more consistently if we give them the shots we gave them in the first half.

Hampton probably played about 12-13 minutes and contribute 1 steal and 0-3 shooting. I just don't understand why he gets the lion's share of playing time at one of the guard spots.

Ucla is 0-2 from the charity stripe

Great stat for the ags

Hogg and Hampton are 1-10. If they shoot better we can win.

Posting from behind our bench, didn't see Caleb Smith did he not make the trip?

Does Davis actually have 2 fouls? Both yahoo and ESPN show him with only 1.

I can't find Hamptons field-goal percentage for the year, anyone?

Expecting anything out of Hampton is fool's gold.

Hogg really needs to hit his wide open looks though. He had a 3 with no one within a zip code of him and he missed it badly.

So who else do you play? Collins?

Yes has 2. One of them a real stupid one.

They missed a lot of shots, wide open shots at that. We don't take charges on penetration and weak side spot up shooters are not being contested because the backside is sinking to far down into the lane. Ball pressure is virtually non existent.

Probably take at least 75 to win

He played earlier in the tournament.

honestly if Hogg hits 40% of his shots first half were looking pretty good. so ultimately happy with first have just have to knock down at least half of wide open shots and shots in rhythm.
