Ristic had a crucial one to Ayton in the P12T that was just unstoppable - one seven footer to another.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
Not sure who else caught this, but Trier and Rawle were chumming it up pretty good after the USC game. Doesn't mean they're now BFFs, but I think they're past whatever BS was cropping up recently.Lute4God wrote:The whole team came together in the P12 tourney focused to feed the post.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
Few things that worry me and what I think we will need.
Our defense is still a work in progress. We are no longer seeing entire halves of poor/downright awful defense and we are not seeing even 10 minutes. However, we still have the 4-7 minute stretches where a team will outscore us by 8-12 points without going on a huge run by just making 7 shots in a row type of thing while we make 2 or 3.
Dillon Smith, needs to hit the open 3 at least twice a game. He is fully capable. It will open the lane up for our big guys. I think 5-7 threes for the team is good as long as its 15 shot attemps or less.
The one thing I notice year in/year out is the offensive charge foul. It kills teams because it is usually the teams best player(s) as the defense knows to flop against them and they typically have the ball near or driving to the rim. It seems to always lead to foul trouble and cautious play thereafter. I love what I have been seeing out of Trier (and Rawle should be doing with his awful floater) which is the mid-lane lob to Ayton when the defense collapses. Trier hasn't been taking it to the rim and avoids the charges and he has to draw the defenders. This is especially true with pack line teams like Virginia.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
Dylan is better when he can get a dribble and a 15 footer. He always makes those, but has been very off from 3. I'd like to see him try the midrange to get going.jajoyce wrote:Few things that worry me and what I think we will need.

No. 13 Buffalo Bulls vs. No. 4 Arizona Wildcats
Arizona enters the tournament as the Pac-12 champions with a 27-7 record. They feature 7’1 consensus All-American Deandre Ayton who could be the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft.
Buffalo got into the tournament by winning the MAC with a 26-8 record. The Bulls feature a quartet of scorers who all averaged between 14.6 to 16.9 points per game highlighted by 6’3 Jr. guard CJ Massinburg and 6’8 Jr. forward Nick Perkins who were both named first team all-conference.
The Pac-12 hasn’t been as good this year as it has in years past, and that was evident by the selection committee only giving Arizona a No. 4 seed as a major conference champion.
The Wildcats have struggled in neutral site games. They lost three games in a row in the Bahamas back in November to NC State, SMU and Purdue; they’ll be playing against Buffalo on a neutral site in Boise, ID.
Buffalo ranks No. 7 in the country in scoring offense (84.8 points per game), and they rank No. 21 in 3-point field goals made. To translate those stats for you; Buffalo can shoot from anywhere and they can score in bunches. And although Sean Miller has made Arizona a tough defensive team in years past, this year’s squad has struggled on defense.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
This is the match-up that scares me the most if we get to play them. A legit athlete with length who can put the ball on the floor. If you use Rawle, you are giving up size. If Dus ends up on him, Jesus. No, just no with Ayton. Trier?YoDeFoe wrote:No clue who we put on Kevin Knox (6'9" with a 7ft wingspan).
Maybe PJC can run under him and twist his ankle?
Beyond that, their non-descript season and SEC run and ours have similarities, except we had legit reasons that seem to have been released recently, while they have just been inconsistent.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
Knox doesn't super freak me out. Unless I missed it, he is mostly a perimeter guy without a highly developed post game. If he could really do it in the post, I'd worry more, but he's not dominant down there. I think Rawle and Akot can do ok. He's a good player and will get his, but I don't think he beats us solo if we play good team D.EVCat wrote:This is the match-up that scares me the most if we get to play them.

I'm more worried about their 3 point shooting. They have a bunch of guys, but no snipers. If they start stroking it, though, that's a big problem.

On a positive note... as bad as we have been at protecting the ball, they are worse and assist the ball at a much lower rate. With the way our defensive intensity has elevated, I like that match up.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
Kentucky fans are passionate, I'll give them that' however, I feel that they are forced to stay in the SEC bubble. Yes the Pac-12 may be down this year, but I guarantee that Kentucky would have struggled against the top half of our conference this year. I do think that the PAC-12, though not as talented as past years, doesn't get enough credit and as you could see with ASSU and WASH dominating Kansas with the former beating XAV, we can compete. Lest they forget that we are 2-0 vs the SEC this year as well.

It's really just one guy that pushes the narrative that we aren't any good. The rest of them are reasonable.
One thing that's never, ever talked about it how difficult it is to be consistent in the Pac12 because of the travel. SEC play is about equivalent to LA trip or shorter every week.

Since Ristic is near automatic with the mid range J, vs the zone, just park him near the FT line and let him pass out or hit the shot or post up for a near automatic hook shot or pass it to Ayton who is dominant in the post.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
I'm looking, too, at the size of these teams we could potentially face. Or *will* face with Buffalo.
The Buffs' tallest starter is 6'10 and averages 3.5 boards, 3.6 pts. Not exactly a dominant big.
UK has outstanding size, of course. That is potentially the best frontcourt we'd see in a run to the FF.
Davidson starts a 6'8 guy and a 6'9 guy.
UVA has a 6'10 guy; that's their tallest starter.
Haven't looked at the bottom half of our region yet. Cincy and Tennessee. UT has Bamba, but I think they're going home early.

Wow, Hunter is UVAs best athlete by far and the most likely to play in the NBA. He could guard 1-4. Huge blow.

Let's fucking GOOOOOOO!
Re: South Region: #4 Seed
How much is the NCAA freaking out right now? They tried so hard to prevent an Arizona run. I bet they make an announcement today that they are moving us to the Villanova's bracket.

Calm down. Oregon lost Boucher, and promptly lost the PAC 12 tournament last year...and then went to the Final 4.
I fly like a hawk, or better yet an eagle--a seagull. I sniff suckers out like a beagle...My ego is off and running and gone, Cause I'm about the best and if you diss than that's wrong

Excellent point. UVA loses key depth, but the core is in tact.Olsondogg wrote:Calm down. Oregon lost Boucher, and promptly lost the PAC 12 tournament last year...and then went to the Final 4.
We just have to worry about who's in front of us. Let's beat Buffalo.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
They were also down by 3 to RIU with 1:50 left before Tyler Dorsey took over with some incredibly difficult and well defended three point shots. That’s why I will continue to doubt UVA until they get a guy that make plays when all goes to hell. It’s damn near impossible to put together six straight “system wins” in the NCAA tournament.Olsondogg wrote:Calm down.

Re: South Region: #4 Seed
Who knows with the tourney. We could end up playing Creighton in the Sweet 16 who would throw so many junk defenses at us. We could end up playing Davidson in the round of 32 who bombs 3s on us all night.
After losing to Xavier last year I will never get excited about any lower seed, injury, etc.
