Re: Oumar Ballo

Have you also noticed our next level switches on defense? They have been very effective and not something I have witnessed any other team using. Has to be an NBA level strategy (maybe from Fois). Against UCLA it really confused them(except the late switch from Benn on the three to end the half) the...

Re: South Region Discussion

What I will tell you is we played Illinois and Tenn. before Ballo became Ballo. to me its the single biggest factor in the development of Arizona since the middle of January - the defensive versatility and overall coverage and ability it gives Lloyd is beyond impressive. its been gelling for a whil...

Re: Oumar Ballo

the continued emergence and polish of Ballo on defense has taken AZ to another level. Koloko can switch, help, and oneVone the opponents best player (1-5) and Ballo stays wide/long/BIG and there is no daylight - its overwhelming opponents down the stretch of games. its the ELITE difference in this t...

South Region winner (1) Arizona: For a team as dominant as Arizona has been this season, the Wildcats have flown somewhat under the radar due to the fact that they play in the Pac-12, which reverted to mediocrity in 2021.
