Iowa at Virginia will be interesting Monday. A team that is skilled offensively but doesn't played defense vs a team that is excellent defensively but not very skilled offensively.
We are having our worst turnover game of all time. It’s unbelievable.
Izzo’s teams always have turnover issues and it never a gets fixed. It’s very frustrating.
I’d bet you UCLA is closer to a 1 seed than an 11 seed.
I haven’t had a chance to watch up until now, and I’m glad.
Nope. He has had some good games before this. Basically won us the Seton Hall game 2 years ago.
I’m in this camp as well, but I also don’t think they’ll be able to replicate what they did in the tourney, mostly because it was an unsustainable performance from Juzang. I’m interested to see how they look when they get Riley back though. I’m also confident Jaquez will be way better throughout the season than what he showed yesterday.
Yeah. But what people don’t understand about “the 26 regulars season games is a better sample size than 6 tournament games” is that 32 full season games is a better sample size than 26. Overall UCLA finished 13th in Kenpom. Not 4th like their final four run and not ~40th like their seeding.
Yep. What people who don't pay attention don't realize is that UCLA was 17-5 and on track to probably being a 3 or 4 seed before surprisingly losing 4 straight before entering the tournament. And Juzang missed the 1 point loss (on a last second shot) to USC in that stretch. Juzang wasn't 100% in the OT loss to Oregon State that followed it.
They deserved to beat us today. Really impressed with that team.
They really impressed me defensively. The rotations were really clean and those bigs did applying pressure but not gambling.
Not sure why they went away from their zone. We would bring the ball up, take one look at it, then hand them the ball. We did it on 10 of 11 possessions at one point. Several times our ballhandler would just fall on the ground with no one guarding them.
It was almost like Valentine thought it was unfair and stopped doing it.
Clearly he’s still a big fan and wanted to help us out.
I would be happy if we hired him after Izzo retires.
Brown knocked down 3 straight 3’s and Walker hit one as well. We started to pick it apart.
Thanks for winning that recruitment.
I seem to remember him knowing how to play basketball at Marquette... was I reading that wrong? He is woefully bad.
His momma's umbilical chord must not stretch enough for him to play freely in East Lansing.
Johnny Davis is a pro.
He's taken a couple bad shots, but shown off the full repertoire here in the first 10 minutes against SMC.

Last two games have been impressive. Not sure how they do it, they throw a lot of white at ya but if they pull this off they'll have two of the better wins from the B10.
