Well that's basically what Steve's done himself, right?

What can Steve say or do at this point?

Was moreso talking about Steve putting his son in games where he can't play defense, or offense.

Oh I know. He's lost any leverage he has. He's basically starting over next year with quite possibly just Thomas Welsh. The team is playing for themselves. The coach and his son believe he's an NBA player, you have a player who really hates the coach, you have two guys who are NBA lottery picks and trying to refine that part of their game but in an individual way, and you have a guy who is at the last part of his eligibility and is trying to show that he can have a role in the NBA. The coach can't do anything about it because he's allowed Bryce to manifest into what the team is and a lack of accountability has spread throughout the team. He can't sit Lonzo. He can't sit Leaf. He can only sit one of Holiday, IHam, and Bryce at any one time.

So how are fans feeling? I know my friend, an alum was happy earlier in the year when things are going great I haven't had a chance to talk to him after the Arizona game ...are the fire Alford threads back elsewhere?

Btw. In my opinion Holiday>>>>>>Alford. At least when he's not doing behind the back passes in the lane,down 10

Speaking of Plashke, his tweets during the UCLA game - from how stunned Arizona is by UCLA's Athleticism??? Til reality set in.

He also mentions attendance. Amazing what Arizona can do for that.

I don't think they were truly gone, but winning quiets critics. 19-3 isn't anything to sneeze at but we are already out of the race in the PAC 12

Says how many past conference seasons at this point in the race?

According to L.A. times columnist, Bill Plaschke, it's, "U of A".

Can you please link to where he said/wrote this?

I don't know how to access it, but it was in his column right after we beat UCLA. Sunday's L.A. Times. I'm pretty sure it was Plaschke. It was definitely in that issue. Caught my attention because I love hearing that chant ... anywhere.

That attendance tweet is funny. He acts like it is the new year. That's a crowd they get for Arizona and no one else.

like 900 people

dunno if the conf title is out of reach for the bruins, but alfor could easiily atone by winning the pac-12 tourney and earning a nice seed. it'll piss me off if it happens, though the selection committee did reiterate that conf tournaments will carry the same weight as conf titles.

not sure if loball has tourney legs, tho. season weardown is taking its toll.

Not a chance this team can win 3 games in three days

looks like vegas has higher hopes for the bruins - ucla's still highly favored to bring home a trophy

So does that mean I could bet against UCLA winning and make $0.33 on the dollar? That would be pretty appealing.

I think there's definitely a chance. If the shooters are hot they can definitely take them to a title.

But if I was going to bet, since I like longshots, my money would be on Washington getting going at the right time, Fultz going HAM, them screwing over whoever is the PAC bubble team (Cal/Utah), and saving Romar's job.

92 points for Melo

I don't even really know what to say. That game bears no resemblance to the basketball I know.

On Saturday my son took 6 shots in a YMCA game and told me he felt like a ball hog. I wonder how he would feel taking 61 shots.

Kobe!

He literally had 40 points off cherry picking and never got back on defense. Good coaching and another great recruit for Alford. He'll fit right in!

He'd get his ass kicked in rec ball doing that.

Lol. What a loser.

Perfect for Alfred. Do not want.

I scored 96 points in pop-a-shot once.

one time playing ncaa football 09 i played as #1 ohio state and i threw for like 800 yards and 12 tds in 1 game against the computer.

what a turd

Absolutely. But that style has yielded one loss in the last 60 games so it's working on that level.

Yeah, I know. I've seen Chino Hills play. That whole jack half courters and cherry pick and leave your team to play 5 on 4 on D, that doesn't work half as well in college.

Cool story bro.

He doesn't even play like there is love for the game. He'll flame out in college.

I do wonder re: brothers love of the game. We might have to wait for the tell all book after one of them kills their dad for talking one too many times.

Thats when u tell your biggest player to hang back and tell him to put his skinny ass on the floor

I doubt somebody goes all John Cheney on another player

Do us a solid tonight Bug

For real

Please. For once let ucla play a team as strong as they play Arizona.

Pipe dream

Pretty sure UCLA played Oregon tough already. Really don't get this joke that UCLA only plays Arizona tough.

It's a nice thing for fans to say. If ucla plays oregon like we played Arizona, we are gonna lose by double digits

I love that Oregon gets SC on the tail of the trip. That is gonna be a tough couple of games.

MrBug708 wrote:I doubt somebody goes all John Cheney on another player

For that, you'd be surprised. I played with several guys who would have take it upon themselves before the coach would have even had to ask. I'm more shocked it was allowed to happen to that degree and nothing was done

PHXCATS wrote:Pretty sure UCLA played Oregon tough already. Really don't get this joke that UCLA only plays Arizona tough.

It goes back to the tail end of Howland and through Alford. It is just a joke, obviously, but you seriously don't identify with it? In an Arizona v. UCLA game, it's just, "Man, these guys are good, so well-coached, and really, really tough." And then you watch them two days later against ASU and they don't know how to take care of the ball, get out of the way on rebounds, enable every back door cut by ignoring defensive assignments, and lose by double digits. And then the same against Oregon State the following week. Then you play them in Vegas and it's all, "HE TOUCHED THE BALL! HE TOUCHED THE BALL!"

Oregon only showed up 45 minutes before the game started. Still waiting for ucla

It's going to be pretty humorous when this UCLA team finishes 13-5 or 12-6 in conference

I really dont. And ucla was the 1 seed and UA was the 4 in that game.

Now just you hold on right there. Arizona was ranked higher than UCLA going into that game, had better wins, and the seed difference resulted from 1 game separation in conference. How did that come about? By beating Arizona twice. After beating us at McKale, they got blown out at ASU by 18 points. They beat us 3 times in 1 season, and then what? They got pummeled by Oregon the next game, and looked bad while getting eliminated. That's totally the pattern we're talking about.
