Great all-around effort! Learning to bust zone defenses is essential because teams in the ncaa tourney will rotate between man and zone a lot and knowing how to respond is key.
Love the double-double by Tyger, and especially the improvement of Bona. He’s dunking more and instead of rushing shots, he’s employed hesitation fakes which contributed to his 8-10 performance. He didn’t grab many rebounds but that’s mostly because UW shot so many il-advised 3s and Clark and Jaime were great on the boards.
I definitely think when keyed in and fully healthy, this could be cronins most well-rounded team. Wish we can see this effort level for all games!
Sanity check coming up Thursday with the Toe Jams. And by that I mean it is truly puzzling that, if you look at the NCAA DI men's basketball rankings, you will see them at #85 down from #77 before they blew today's game to the Cougs. (I looked on the ESPN ratings and they weren't in the top 25.)
Took a look at their record, they lost to Florida Gulf Coast but took #7 Tennessee to OT
I do think like WSU, Southern Cal is better than their record and if Enfield was a better coach, then they wouldn’t be underachieving (barely beating VT, getting smoked by WSU). I also hope our bruins won’t overlook them.
Where I think Wazzu is better than their record, I think Southern Cal is worse. I think they can occasionally rise to the level of their opponent (see the Tennessee game or their win over Auburn) but their coaching is terrible so they will consistently underperform relative to their talent level.
That said, I can't see UCLA overlooking them, especially considering how the last few years have gone. It was a big thing last season for the players and I can't imagine they've forgotten the feeling so quickly.
Was nice to see a well balanced game after the previous outing. When guys are making their open looks it helps for sure. Tyger getting a break was well needed and good to get other rotation players in. Is there an outlook on baileys return?

Are they truly that rancid or am I hallucinating?
..just hope the Bruins are up for the contest.

So I wasn't the only one that took a double take at Cremonesi's hair. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlLXAjraMAArF0q?format=jpg&name=large
It was a topic of conversation at our house too. LOL
