There's a lot at stake. It's March. usc and ucla will be in the ncaa tourney. can we beat either of them?
I don't see us beating either of them. I think we get swept this week, win one game in the Pac tourney, and one and done in the NCAA tournament. This team is fading at the worst time. A sudden resurgence yielding a deep post season run is highly unlikely. My prediction tonight: USC 76 Arizona 67
Thank you for this. 0-1

USC has taller guards that posted Kerr up. Tyger isn't going to do that, but Kerr isn't really quick enough to be the primary defender on him. I expect that to be Ramey. Bailey could try and post up Kerr, and while Bailey has a huge upside, I don't see UCLA running its offense through the 4th or 5th option on the floor. The ball flows through UCLA's best players, which are Tyger, Jacquez, and Bona.
The match-up issue is trying to guard Jacquez, who is very hard to guard. ASu threw a lot at him and nothing stuck. Henderson will likely get the assignment, but you'll likely see a lot of picks to try and get Zu or Ballo on Jacquez. This happened a bunch the first time we met, and Jacquez had a bad shooting night, going 5-17 (1-6 from deep). I would expect him to have a better game tomorrow.
