Terrible loss for UK

I'm hesitant to read too much into this game. West coast, first road game, best player not 100%, good front line player gets hurt early, came out flat, and UCLA was avenging an embarrassing loss last year. This won't be a dominant team because it can't put the ball in the hole, but it can still be very good.
And, if UCLA played like they did tonight, they could give pretty much any team in the country problems. They have the talent. They just don't seem to have the drive to get up for every game like they did for UK. Never a good loss, but certainly not a loss that can't be recovered from.
by 1, IU made the Sweet 16 and that team's core was a 1 seed a year later
UCLA sucks
Exactly - Lee was a difference maker against Duke - he finished with a double/double with 2 blocks and an assist - we could have used every bit of that tonight.
I think Cal needs to use Skal in the pick and pop game but he seems hell bend on making him not shoot outside of 5 feet. I would like Lee to play center and Skal play the 4 spot and start shooting. That guy has great touch.You've Been Nominated; Post of 2015
I, too, think the Duke game was the most entertaining . . . this one had too many missing pieces to get worked up over. When Welsh hit his 25th stop and pop in the first half, and our first free throw coming at 1;23 mark in the first half, it had diminishing returns. Don't like to lose, but it's behind us now at least.
