Gonna have our work cut out next week...
- Thread starter bigblue_07_rivals
- Start date
Yep...if the Cats can beat UCLA, they have to get back up for the Heels. Hoping that the Bulldogs knock the academic fraud school off on Friday....
Butler could very well beat North Carolina
Eh whatever I got faith in my team. If you play defense like we have in this 13 games streak we win as UCLA aint stopping us , hell they aint stopping anyone , just out scoring them.
UCLA played a perfect game in Rupp. We scored 93 but played no D. Our Defense is improved. I look for Cal to play a slower tempo
I'm afraid we dont have the offense to keep up with them unless Monk gets hot.
UCLA has so many weapons and a great facilitator in Lonzo Ball. It'll take an epic effort to beat them.
I don't know about that. We're best when we run. The question for me is will the Brims play zone?
I'm looking forward to the rematch. This kind of feels like 2014 again.(even tho we started with a better seed) As long as we play a good game, I'll be fine whatever. Today has been fun. Just gotta enjoy the ride.
The 2014 run about gave me a heart attack but there were lots of great games in it!
We are much more then Monk but our offense against at team like UCLA should flourish . The worst defensive team we have played in a while.
What? UCLA played far from a perfect game, but they did play their game. UK is really gonna have to step it up on offense. Saying "our defense is improved" isn't gonna be enough against a team that can score from all 5 positions.
I'm betting they don't want to play us. By the way isn't their coach going to Indiana? A weeks worth of that talk will Be nice.
LOL they are a 3 seed who came in 3rd place in thier own conference and only lost 4 due to play a horrible horrible schedule. We are a the better team. If we play well we win . Such hyperbole . They beat us when we couldnt guard a door . Now our D is top 10ish . D wins titles as tourney games arent 95-90 usually . They are 68-65 .
We will have to play a great game but I know we have it in us.This team has become tough and are used to close games and won't be scared.I still like our chances.
UC put up 67 on them. UC couldn't average 50 points in a walk thru. UCLA is a great team. We can beat them.
UCLA could easily have been a one seed.
We'll have to play much better D than we did in the first matchup and still hit our shots. We are due for a big game though.
I think we find a way yet again.

Everybody is tough at this point.
More confident in beating UCLA than I was about Wichita St., and we beat WSU. So I'm good with Friday night's whipping of UCLA. 
Their size will give us major problems. Wouldn't mind seeing Cal work on some zone this week.
We'll have a great crowd advantage at least. Guess that's one thing in this bracket that worked out in our favor.

Probably 3 of the best 5 remaining teams in our region. What a surprise.
So very good offensively and as much as I think his daddy is a jerk, the Ball kid can play.
Thing is cincy had a great defense and ucla ran right through them.
They are going to score on us. We just have to keep up.

Gonna be a war. USC had em beat in the p12 tourney and lost by 2. Arizona beat them handily a night later.
Tonight Cincy didnt have the guard play. If we guard the 3 better than Cincy and Kent State then I like our chances.
