It does kind of suck. I think they did it because usc never had a road game against Oregon on the schedule. Also, I don’t know if I’d rather have played at home this Monday against them and then have 3 games this week including road games in altitude. At least we get to play them Wednesday and only have 2 games next week.
I don't disagree, but I think it'd be very funny for Southern Cal to beat their chests about being in first late in the season only for the final game to not matter because UCLA already clinched.
UCLA has played a great game so far. About 2/3 through it. My brief notes on this game:
1. Tyger is playing pretty solid defense and is hustling a lot
2. Riley looks much healthier and hopefully getting back in shape
3. The offense seems to have abandoned tyger dribbling for the first 15 seconds of every possession and its fantastic! Passing the way they do and moving, forces switches that leads to mismatches and open looks. Hopefully they keep this up.
4. The offense looks so much better when a non tyger player pushes the ball quickly up the court. It again creates mismatches and confusion for the opposition when executed well which they have.
5. UCLA isn’t settling only for threes. They are looking down low first almost every possession
6. Juaquez posting up in the first half has worked really well. UCLA should do that more often.
7. UCLA defense has given some open looks defensively. Overall they are playing well and helping effectively and not over committing
8. Utah his missed some shots badly
9. Not a lot of fouls called in this game so far which makes it far more enjoyable
10. Riley has a great mid range outside jumper and has made 2-3 of em.
This game has been a joy to watch. Need to keep passing the ball around and creating mismatches I hope
Just a s typed this, Riley with the step back 3 pt air ball. Also UCLA has decided to slow it down and not pass it around. That nextiva commercial drives me nuts... the softball pitch that almost hits a girl in the ankle is called a strike and bill walton goal tends a shot as it’s on the way down... with usc stabbing a sword into the grass... so bad

But we knew that, nothing has changed in thirty years.
Utah's three point defense was atrocious. Juzang and Bernard's hot shooting helped a lot.
Yeah, but how much more satisfying if the Bruins beat $C for the title. Just sayin’...

Yes, win moving away. We've seen that injuries happen.

Haha.....I shook my head when Riley heaved that three. A bonehead move for sure,
Baskets, are you feeling okay?
Apparently not 😂
Totally agree on the passing. I've seen a few ACC games out here, and I remember when we could fast break.
When Colorado lost to Utah in Utah this year, was either team short manned?
Not really. Colorado just has an amazing ability to play down to their opponent that UCLA only wishes it possessed.
