I wonder if we’ll see Bal and Nowell today. I got the feeling beating Rado, triple locking up the number 1 seed, and proving to the players immediately that they can in fact win without Kerr was more important than what happens tonight. Not saying they’ll sandbag at all. Just wondering if this game might be used to experiment with some different personnel combinations.
Very good points. UCLA is good at dictating tempo and they don't turn the ball over. They don't score a lot but they're very efficient offensively. Couple that with their experience and I see us having a lot of problems with them. I think it will be relatively close but UCLA controls us most of the game.

If it's in the 80s, I like our chances. But I think they'll win because they'll determine the pace without Kerr pushing it.
Kronin looks like a member of the Lollipop Guild with a bad case of scabbies.
At full strength, with a few days of rest, we beat ucla on a neutral court 6 out of 10 times. Today, with such low stakes for us and with their chance to improve seed position, I think they’ll come out ahead.Longhorned wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 8:50 am Our PG is out and we're favored 1.5 over UCLA? I wouldn't have thought Vegas would see what I saw yesterday. Namely, that Arizona is really, really, really fucking good.
It is crazy the amount of people I meet that aren't from here that thought Tucson was like the size of Pullman or Starkville or something, like it was a little dusty western town with a saloon and general store and a university. They're surprised there's a million people here and a downtown and that it takes 40 minutes to drive across town.
Cityfolk are the real yokels. I've lived in cities as big as Boston and L.A. and as small as Paradise, CA. By and large, it's the people who've spent their whole lives in cities who seem the least knowledgeable about the surrounding world.ASUHATER! wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 11:02 am

If we were at full strength, I'd 100% agree with this take. We're a different team without Kriisa out there. Just how it is, imo. I really hope he can go next week.CatFanOneMil wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 11:15 am One of the things that has impressed me with Tommy is his ability to listen to his staff and adapt...last nights game against Colorado was a perfect example of this, they calculated that letting the Buffs shoot threes was a good gamble and a new record for threes was set for a P12 tournament game, but the Buffs still lost...thats some fucking science level X and O's if you ask me...but Tommy went with it and the really impressive thing was how well the team adapted.
Think about it...you change your defense completely up this late in the season and it worked.
So yeah UCLA is good, but they are predictable and not quite as adaptive as the Cats are...I have faith in this team.
Besides UCLA isn't as deep as we are even when we're one man down.
I say we win by 6 or more.
They have apparently never tried to drive east/west through Tucson. Several of my family lives eastside, Harrison and Houghton areas.ASUHATER! wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 11:02 am It is crazy the amount of people I meet that aren't from here that thought Tucson was like the size of Pullman or Starkville or something, like it was a little dusty western town with a saloon and general store and a university.

I live out past Houghton off Old Spanish Trail. Takes a good hour to get up near Catalina.Merkin wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 12:00 pmThey have apparently never tried to drive east/west through Tucson.

Tucson Metro has more people than the central coast tri-counties of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Monterey counties where I live combined. The metro area I live in takes 10 minutes at most from the south to the north, but it's built along the 101.
I have a brother who lives near there on 29th(?). Another brother on Broadway, and my dad lives off Speedway. Another brother lives in Casa Adobes (moved from OV) and a sister midtown. Along with their kids scattered.BBQ wildcat wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 12:38 pmI live out past Houghton off Old Spanish Trail.

It's on Fox 11 here in Tucson.Postmaster wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 6:56 pm That tweet says Fox but it is FS1.
I’m in Casas Adobes area.
Has anyone heard of Crack Stream? My coworker said he uses it for everything sports related.

Not when the other team drops 49 on you in the second half.Bangkok Wildcat wrote: Sat Mar 12, 2022 10:07 pm So the stat from the Championship Game that stood out to me was that UCLA was 19-0 when scoring >35 points at the half……Now it’s 19-1
BTFD!
You mean One Shining Moment? Yeah, I’m guessing that will be two and a half minutes of Coach K shots.
