Prove me wrong please. Even if you had 5 five stars, you can see there is no chemistry. Alford is in over his head. He is used to coaching at the mid major level, but like Dunk City across the street, have no idea how competitive a major conference is. Love how CSA congratulated Pangos towards the ...

I'm would rather not say anything is official, but... UCLA = UNLV at this point. There is no revival coming for the foreseeable and unforeseeable future. How do you revive that mess? It's close to impossible. That take is...well...terrible HEH. Nice win, Zags. It's good that at least one other prog...

Yep.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves. What's the story with Rabb?

So word on the streets is Jaylen Brown is a silent commit to UCLA. That would shake up the conference next year for sure. We'd probably be picked 2nd or 3rd. Word for a while. Zimmermann suuposedly too, but that isn't an adidas thing. Bragg needs to make sure his crap is on order. Jmark...trolling ...

97, how are we looking with Rabb? Seems like if we add him to our existing commits for '15, UCLA can have whomever the hell they want.

Beachcat97

Adidas putting in work. As for the finishing second shit that is fucking absurd based off one recruit. Brown is really good, but he isn't all world. I've heard equal rumblings that it's not a given Brown ever plays college. Sounds like Shabazz 2.0 More like Mudiay 2.0 Fair enough. I think the botto...

No way Izzo retires by '19. And 'Cuse already has their successor to Boeheim lined up.

Duke could be open.

Beachcat97

You have to wonder how much longer Roy is going to hang around at UNC. This academic cheating scandal is going to cost him recruiting-wise, and Roy's no spring chicken. UNC is one of the only elite jobs likely to open up pretty soon. Kansas? Doubt it, unless Self finally takes a huge NBA pay day. Ke...

What?! Is he tight with Miller or something? That would be bizarre.

Beachcat97

Even if UCLA gets the type of beatings we got against UNC, it's not like his job is in any danger. And with a single line, you've nicely captured the current status of UCLA hoops. What is it they call teams that routinely get their a$$ handed to them by the nation's elite? Second-tier? Maybe third?...

So beginning this season, UCLA is going to lose to UK three straight years (and that doesn't include any possible tourney meetings). How exactly is this supposed to benefit UCLA? Does getting rolled on national TV (three times!) make tomorrow's 5 stars gain interest in playing for Alford?

Beachcat97

Stop Bryce, keep Looney off the boards, and beating UCLA shouldn't be all that hard this year.

Beachcat97

1. Ashley and TJ will be All-Pac 2. We're going to see at least three different starting lineups before Pac play begins 3. Miller will get his first FF 4. Another Pac 12 title 5. We're going to lose at least one OOC game 6. Undefeated at home 7. Stanley Johnson will be very, very good, but he won't...

Beachcat97

Gonzaga is absolutely a top 10 team, and will do well in the tourney. Hard to come out of today's game with a different opinion.

I hope so. But that backcourt's looking pretty crowded next season.

Beachcat97

How is Kadeem gonna see the floor next season with all of these elite guards/wings arriving next season? Plus, Gabe and PJC and Pitts.

Beachcat97

G-W did a good job of doubling our bigs. It's a great defensive strategy against our team. Ash and Tarc can't get to the basket the way that Gordon could, so if you double them, they're more than likely going to pop it back out to a guard. When are guards are hitting, like York and SJ did tonight, w...

I hate Kentucky with a passion but they're pretty darn good, very tough to score against. This UK team has to be one of the heaviest favorites to win it all over the past decade, maybe longer. Not saying they will -- these heavy favorites rarely do -- but most college hoops writers will be picking ...

Few big men are "the man" anymore. Went back through AA teams over the past 15 years. Few true centers. The ones who could be "the man" jump to the League. Back-to-the-bucket play has diminished. Our best in recent years blossomed late: Jordan Hill. Even then, not a true center. Observe trends (suc...

Beachcat97

UK, Duke, and Wisconsin deserve to be the top three. Not sure about the order. Actually think Duke is the best of those three, right now at least. Amid the hype surrounding Okafor and Jones, a lot of people forgot about Justise Winslow, who is just a terrific player. He would guard RHJ if we met the...

Beachcat97

Starting to wonder if Tarc is destined to be "key contributor" rather than "the man." As long as we win, does it really matter?

Beachcat97

Well, we can cross UCLA out as a possible landing spot for Zimmerman.

Heh.

Agreed. Alford is clearly the 2nd best coach in UCLA history. Didn't take him long!

Heh!

Beachcat97

His game sounds a little like Luke Walton? Or is that not a good comparison?

Beachcat97

Gonna take some lights-out shooting to beat that UK team in March. Jeezus.

Beachcat97

Winner of this game has a major "quality win" for March.

Beachcat97

Pitts and York had similar numbers yesterday, only Pitts got them in fewer minutes and zero turnovers, compared to York's 4.

The better Pitts gets, and the more flashes PCJ shows, the harder it's gonna be to keep York on the floor when he's getting beaten on D and turning the ball over.

Nope. Bug's trolling harder than ever.

I know it's early, teams will change and gel and etc etc, but UCLA looks pretty pedestrian. They've been coasting in both offense and defense so far. Need to play a real team to get a better feel but they've looked better than pedestrian Bug apparently struggling with the word "pedestrian." Heh!

So many big fish still out there. Would be surprised if UK and KU don't end up in the top 5. But if we get Rabb or Zimm, I'm pretty sure we've got the #1 class. Again. Wow.

Heck, Duke won a title with the packline in 2010 but guess where their offense was ranked? #1. K completely changed his philosophy with that team because they didn't have the athletes to play his signature man-man pressure. He adapted to his personnel. Wisconsin had the #49 defense but went to the ...

Well, I'm not sure whether this season's outcome really stands to impact Sean Miller's job security in any way, especially negatively. The general opinion (here, at least) is that he's beyond reproach, that two Pac titles and two Elite Eights in five years is pretty damn impressive, and that his rec...
