To me it looks like there's some growing pains from the transition to Zeke getting all the attention of the opposing defense.

Better opponents might not choose to double him but they'll send disposable hackers to foul him. Good thing he's good at the line.

I'd love to know what Miller is saying right now.

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
Does this tournament give out an MVP award? Because I really want Dylan to get it.

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
Also when Jeter got stuffed the defender put a lot of body on him, yet no call.

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
If we could just improve our free throw defense it would be a complete rout at this point.
Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
I don't want to jinx it, but we're playing WAAAY better defense this game than we have all tourney long. IMO, we looked bamboozled against Penn, and this game's defense is night-and-day.

Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
Refs calling literally any contact whatsoever as a foul. Jesus, let them play. That (the foul on the WF driver) was a BS bailout.

and like they said, elite freshmen players really have no idea what defense is, they just are the best player on the court.
Re: (M) Game 9, Arizona vs Wake Forest (2019-2020)
Oh my god, that's such bullshit. WF player bouces off Green, refs call foul. Yiiiikes...

Easier to rebound when the opponent misses some shots.

Really surprised they didn't call a T on Jeter for that dunk, hanging on the rim since no players were really below him.

The incomprehensible thing is it isn't peripheral to the ball. That was literally the guy with the ball.
