Zona-UCLA

[JerseyCat84]

I like this Arizona team. They are giving the Bruins fits right now.

 

[Jazzycat]

They have some guys that can ball. Allen, Trier, Risec,, those guys are good....UCLA will probably come back...

 

[JerseyCat84]

We could use Ristic.

 

[FishersBlue]

UCLA went zone and turned the game completely around...hmmm...

 

[ManitouDan]

Zona up nine when I tuned in . Ucla goes ZONE and zona hasnt scored in 5-6 possessions . Great move by Alford . Lead cut to two

 

[HenryMuto]

UCLA has only 1 top 50 RPI win.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Hell of a game.

 

[WildMoon]

Arizona's defense is clearly better than UCLA, and that's basically the break down.

hahaha

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Just imagine Arizona with Terrance Ferguson.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Lets see if they chant over rated .

 

[TrustinCal]

Zona got them some athletes on that team.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

LOB Baby

 

[Icecoldbrewdoggy]

BOOM! Run em' out of Westwoood.

 

[Jazzycat]

Zona playing good defense in the last 6 minutes...taking over...Miller finally has a complete squad (without injury)

 

[shaudyshaud]

Rawle Alkins has been in foul trouble most of the game too

 

[WildMoon]

Arizona isn't making smart plays so. We'll see how this ends.

I mean, taking a floater with 17 seconds left and was already slowing the game down..not sure what was the point.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Zona still keeping them at a distance. If UCLA loses, I have to imagine they fall behind us if we take care of business tonight.. And then a win over Kansas should get us into the top3

 

[WildMoon]

i don't get it...

time is your friend. 2 possession with more than 15 second left in the clock. Both misses, and opponents score. 1:11 left...this would have been already 45... They would be fouling.

 

[AR15WARRIORCAT]

ZONA needs to quit rushing on offense work the clock more!

 

[WildMoon]

I was going to say nice play...except that was BADDD missed layup.

LOL

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Gotta have a bounce or two go your way on the road nice win for them wildkittens .

 

[AR15WARRIORCAT]

That and 1 and missed 3 there pretty much Nail in Coffin! Lets take care of buisness move into top 4 by monday!!

 

[JerseyCat84]

Yeahhhh that zone D sure did UCLA wonders according to our coaching geniuses.

 

[HenryMuto]

UCLA likely won't even be in the top 20 RPI after this game despite only having 2 losses. If they did not beat us they would be looking at 0 top 50 wins and probably a 5 seed right now.

 

[WildMoon]

Yeahhhh that zone D sure did UCLA wonders according to our coaching geniuses.

GSW and Cleveland Cavaliers run switch defense. Everyone knows it. They are top 2 teams in the league.

 

[TheDude73]

UCLA gonna have issues in the tournament playing this "out shoot 'em" style.

 

[Xception]

Boy that zone really panned out , that's coaching right there .

 

[kyjeff1]

An upset is "bruin"
UCLA has lived off that UK win for a couple months, it's time for them to go back down where they were.
We never should have lost that game, our guys learned a lot from that loss though.

 

[Smashcat]

UCLA losing to Zona puts Gonzaga in the drivers seat for a #1 seed as they've already beaten Zona.

 

[UKcatXXXL]

Boom

ZONA

 

[Tummygoat]

UCLA losing to Zona puts Gonzaga in the drivers seat for a #1 seed as they've already beaten Zona.

No question.

 

[HenryMuto]

UCLA losing to Zona puts Gonzaga in the drivers seat for a #1 seed as they've already beaten Zona.

Except Arizona was without Trier in that game so that will have to be factored in.

Right now I see Kentucky being the biggest mover because of the UCLA win despite our loss at home to them. I was waiting for that 2nd UCLA loss so we could vault them in the seed line rankings because they have no other top 50 RPI wins and have a really low RPI for teams in contention for #1 seeds. Their RPI dropped to 22 as of now after this loss.

Baylor plays Kansas twice and we play Kansas so that should eliminate 1 of those 2 teams from the #1 seed line.

Leaves us with Nova and Kentucky as the top 2 overall if we beat Kansas and Kansas/Baylor split assuming we don't lose again.

 

[howercat]

Why couldn't ucla have that bad shooting against the cats? Cats are everybody's superbowl. That's why.

 

[Montana81]

We shouldn't have lost to UCLA. We played a bad game. Even with them hitting shots we had one of our poorer offensive performances of the season given the # of possessions in that game.

 

[Xception]

We played reckless , were better than them

 

[JerseyCat84]

We played reckless , were better than them

That and they hit more shots than they did today.

 

[Xception]

That and they hit more shots than they did today.

Cause they have shooters , we need that

 

[greymatters4]

Lonzo is incredible but UCLA isn't a great team. 127 in AdjD

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Kobi Simmons had a good game. He could've been on this team, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.

 

[fla.cat]

The only reason they beat us, we were a bit cold, especially for us, at 44%, 5 under our average at that time, and they were hot, shouting 55%, about 5 over their average at that time.

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

Alford has lightning in a bottle with this team not convinced he is anywi close to a top twenty coach.
