Ugo

Had a few awesome blocks, and that driving dunk when they left him wide open was awesome.
Astute stats. Ugo was a nightmare for Arkansas trying to score in lane. Kudo to Cal for sticking him in there in second half
He played really well. I didn’t really expect anything from him this season. I was 100% wrong.
I thought Ugo was great tonigh. Had 3 really nice blocks, and you can see Arkansas guys thinking about him when he was in the lane.
Ugo definitely seems like the only 7 footer who knows what he is doing out there. One of Bradshaw or Big Z needs to figure it out so we can have another 7 footer to give us some defense, rebounding, and some scoring. One of the big weaknesses of this team is scoring in the post over length. Mitchell can score in the post some but if we face a big long team and need a high percentage 2pt basket, who can get one for us?
Ugo is up there with Reed for me in terms of favorite cats this season
Ugo was a FORCE on the defensive end!!! He blocked shots but just as important was how he intimidated the Arky Guards once they got into the Paint!!
He played the Pick-And-Roll better than anyone had all year from his spot. And he DUNKED the ball when he got it in the Paint and ate up space for our guards to take off.
His length is a HUGE asset!!

Ugo knows his role and and plays that role better than the other two 7 footers. In fairness Z hasn't had time to find his role. He has more skill than Ugo but Ugo gives us more of what we need
Reeves was also AWESOME in the 2nd half. That step-back 3 to put us up 4 with about 2 minutes left was HUGE!!!!
He is so smooth this season!!!
That shot was clutch. A handful of plays like that will make or break a season.
Ugo had a couple great switches on defense that stopped Arky penetration. He played a great game.
He gave us exactly what we needed. I'd like to see Oscar work with him in the offseason about using 2 hands when rebounding. There's still room for improvement on the 3-ball too. 
IMO, UGO has played serviceably well this year, needs to learn how to stay planted on the defensive floor, stop the pogo stuff, but his per minute numbers so far this year are really comparable to what they were last year........
