Need to get a true PG in the next year or two - been a long time since we had a stud PG (really since TJMC since Mannion didn’t pan out)

MrK I have heard this said, but I don't get it.

Bradley is efficient with usually low TOs and one of our most consistent scorers and best defenders.

Arizona win with him yesterday
We very clearly still would have not won, we turned the ball over 17 times and shot 5% from 3

No we shot 80% better from 3 point range than KSU did:

In the 70's it was called a lid cost $10 and was an once.

Lid is an ounce, and was $40 for Columbian Gold, $25 for Mexican. Homegrown ragweed was probably $10 an ounce.

Sounds about right. a $10 bag of "shake" would be over $30 today!

Was about 1 or 2% then, today weed is what even 25%!?

I’m worried about this KState game. They are currently playing their best basketball of the season ...

But if any team is up for the challenge, it’s this one.

That's what I love so much about this team. It's the sheer grittiness they play with and the willingness even eagerness to play in ...

Bradley, Bryant, Lewis, Love, Veesar is the #9 5 man lineup at Evanmia.com.

Surprisingly Miya has Bradley, Veesaar and ADO as our top 3 man combo (187 possessions only) !!

Just added Wildcat Country to my podcasts. Interview there with Miya about AZ''s numbers:

Any further word on if Love can play at BYU?

Can't find it right now, but UA (somewhere) had said he is playing at BYU and not suspended.

This article quotes the Jason Sheer tweet, but I think UA announced too:

If Ballo misses the front end of a 1 and 1 it’s a TO. But mostly I use that phrase because its catchy and simple and conveys the point.

I’ve always thought missing the front end of a 1-&-1 should be counted as a turnover if the other team rebounds it.

To me the 1 and 1 is the most ...

Lute4God

Gotta say that's a stacked UConn team. The final half was reminiscent of the Women's final. Clark gets a hot start and then shut down late and no hope for Iowa.

Also SC, like UConn, was a stacked team with even the bench players, freshmen even, coming in an hitting big shots and playing shut-down D.

Seems like every single game in the last month or two there's a play where a guard drives straight into Ballo and he gets the block and the ball too!

This season we have really see a different player on defense!

Gonna miss that guy!

Why didn't we press more after it worked ?

Clemson plays smart basketball. They usually don't beat themselves.

I think we need to limit the stupid mistakes..........especially turnovers.

Win the turnover battle, win the game.

Love must have had 3 plays in the second half he started with a contested rebound and then a hard push up the floor. The lob to Keshad on the break for the jam was one of those.

Monsoon's a pretty funny guy apparently.

From his presser

" “You guys see the Seinfeld [episode] where George Costanza was trying to get fired and he couldn’t lose his job and he’s still going to work every day? That’s me,” Monson said, alluding to 1997’s “The Millennium.” "

I'm not seeing fatigue on USC... I see us locked in on D

Feels to me that after UA shut them down, after about 15 minutes into the first half USC list confidence and just stopped moving much on offense.

Lute4God

Think about it. In a way, WSU screwed us a third time by losing to UW and making the Cats celebrate early.

WSU wins that one at home and there's no way UA loses at USC and are likely the #1 Seed out West.

In 97 we needed two wake up calls to end the season

I remember that night game against Cal….we looked terrible. I didn’t think we would win our first round game. AJ’s last 5-7 games were the only real bright spot on that ‘97 team, heading into the tournament

Wow Bramlett sure stepped it up ...

Lute4God

Does Ballo score tonight and draw fouls? If so could be a blow out. Just 18 minutes played for Ballo last time out

Or does USC get him in ball screens for open jumpers for their very capable guards. Boogie leads the PAC from 3.

1290 says this USC starting lineup is a couple possessions away from being undefeated in the PAC

Edit: With lots of injuries, 6-2 with this lineup with 2 narrow losses.

I'm very interested in seeing how we look out of the gate vs USC.

Excellent question Ari. More and more I get the feeling this team just loves to compete. Our bad stretches, when they happen, seem to only last 2-3 possessions.

What I love about this team is all 4 positions (except for Ballo) can score either by taking it to the rack, scoring from midrange, or nailing 3’s. And with Ballo’s ability to receive passes down low for buckets we just have so many options.

Defending this team takes a Herculean effort.

Additionally, the potential he's shown as a passer off of closeouts and in the pick-and-roll could lead to him fulfilling a secondary ball-handler role within a year or two in the league.

Big difference in Boswell games is he also now drives to the hole, where before he would do the Kriisa and just hang out on the perimeter and chuck 3's.
