(M) Game 11, Arizona vs USC (2020-2021)

[UAEebs86]

That dunk by Mobley

[dmjcat]

Death by inches.

We are not handling their length well, especially Akinjo/Baker

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Every time I pick akinjo he has a rotten night.

[WildcatStunner]

Guards played like trash. Cannot handle players bigger than them.

[Postmaster]

Surprised Mathurin is sitting so much.
He and AZ are only ones who seem to score

Baker Jr. is playing good.

game

[Postmaster]

Baker or Brown?

[FreeSpiritCat]

Baker or Brown?

Brown. I always get that wrong for some reason.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Tubelis with 30

[84Cat]

Well, this thing is over. Couldn't get any stops in the 2nd half

[Merkin]

Baker, Akinjo, Terry 2 combined baskets. Along with no defense.

[dmjcat]

No excuses tonight, the more talented team won........period.

This game is similar to the Stanford game where Akinjo could not handle the 6-5" freshman that was guarding him.

[dmjcat]

Tubelis with 30

Without him we would have been massacred tonight

On a positive note it looks like a very good year to self sanction

[AZCatGirl]

Baker, Akinjo, Terry 2 combined baskets. Along with no defense.

And I picked all 3. I think I might have the worst score in the history of RAP.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Who'd have thought all our scoring would come from inside? Crazy, against one of the tallest teams in the pac.

[Beachcat97]

Reality check tonight. Was bound to happen sooner or later. We’re a solid team with a ton of potential, but we’re not quite ready for prime time.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Ucla has some tall guards as well, tyger campbell is short but that's it. Mick cronin plays defense also

We also have issues. We have height issues with the primary ballhandlers, and Baker has never been a stellar on the ball defender due to limited lateral mobility.

Akinjo needs to shoot less against the bigger teams (and stop trying to go to the rack against 7 foot guys with 7-4 wingspans). We also need to be more patient against the USC/Stanfords of the world and run screen after screen until we can get wide open looks for our guards. When the other guy has superior athletes you have to play smarter than they do.

[EastCoastCat]

SC shot the ball lights out - 58% FG and 57% from 3.
And a lot were tough shots. Giving them credit for the win.

[WildcatStunner]

Even though we lost, it was great to see The potential of Tubelis realized.

[Postmaster]

Seemed like when Akinjo would go inside their entire front court was there, not just one guy.
