Bear Down Wildcats

I hope he gets some well-deserved revenge against USC.

2nd year in a row that the most important player on our team was a traditional transfer.

Miller is a witch AND a warlock. I will never look back on either TJ or RA as a gun for hire. They are Cats through and through.

Ryan Anderson had his problems earlier in the season. I didn't get lift and was stripped of the ball many times. Either it was rust or, more likely, he was hampered by an injury. Now he seems to be at full strength. The Cats have one of the best front courts in the nation. Best out west for sure. Anderson, Zeus, Ristic, and Tolly. Although Tolly is 7 feet tall he plays more like a SF.

I don't get the earlier problems take, cith. Anderson has consistently been our best player statistically.

He's had one bad game (@ USC). Otherwise he's been incredible.

Good point. And neither elite out of high school? Don't know about RA.

Ryan Anderson was California Mr. Basketball coming out of high school - third one we have had in the last three years along with Aaron Gordon and Stanley Johnson.

And Boston College got him. Dang.

Unranked, only Wazzu and Colorado offered him out of the PAC.

Visited Cal, no offer.

That ranking says a whole lot more about those doing the evaluating than it does about Ryan. How did those same people rank Frank Kaminsky?

#235

He was a beast this week...exact opposite of the player I saw in LA.

53-71 in his last eight games

That's insane. I wonder if his FG% is better than his FT% over that stretch.

amazing. his fg% went down during this last trip, too. someone mentioned in one of the livegame threads that it was in the high 80s coming into the wazzu game.

speaking of CA mr. basketball, it's too bad we've don't have cal (instead of 'furd) scheduled for sr. day. the fans could send RA off in style and ivan rabb would see what he could have "been a part of"... you know, instead of "being the start of" cuonzo's NIT postseason.

46-60, 76.6 (unofficial, meaning I counted fast)
53-71, 74.6

so what you are telling me is that he has 3 more bade baskets in 53 less attempts than #YorkCity?

Well deserved and playing his best ball of the season. Glad to see!

Not exactly sure whats happening here but this is Ryan's first March Madness game

Being his first game, he probably doesn't know a prostate massage isn't usually part of media access.

If only that towel could talk...

That's one image RA will probably always regret.

Smart men. Clean up w the young ladies in your last days in Tucson.

I think he's all set

Jefe, that's kinda creepy.

Jefe spends a lot of time lurking social media profiles of 20 year olds though

Saying kinda is generous.

Nice! Glad to see he is getting a pro career.

Same team that Kyle Fogg played for a couple of seasons ago. Good for him.
