I’m curious to see what Juzang adds to the offense, particularly from 3. Missing Hill is a huge. We haven’t looked good, but having Mick Cronin rather than Steve Alford keeps me calmer!

On a side note, it was nice to see George Zidek’s son playing for the Waves and reuniting the son of a Bruin champion with Lorenzo Romar. I wish them well.

Seems like a disappointing start given that these players are now in season two with cronin. It’s strange and frustrating to see they have regressed from how they finished last season...

I’m obviously going to give him more time then I did last season, but I’m mostly just confused why it seems like a similar start to last season with almost the same exact set of players.

I’m confident that things will get better, but very annoyed that UCLA hasn’t picked up from where they left off at the end of last season

*groan MBB was supposed to be my escape from a below average FB team.

I think we all need to be prepared for a roller coaster year, all things considered. If, and when, Cronin has all players available to the team, then I do expect a different style of play. Juzang should be expected to add a great deal to the offense, and Hill will add more defense with rebounds and blocks, and absorb fouls.

Unfortunately, just when things turn good, we should all expect the worst, such as a Covid outbreak. Games may get cancelled. Significant players may be absent. This will be one hell of a test of a coach.
