This game is over. Absolutely owned by a team that will be lucky to finish in the top half of the PAC12.

Not watching this crap anymore. What a completely uninspiring last 23 minutes. Complete horse ****. Id make them practice 8 hours on Christmas if I were cal.

This is a piss poor defensive team and we can't even shoot 40% against them. What a joke.

Young, neutral court game, Christmas eve is in like 6 hours..

This type of performance sucks.. But it really shouldn't be a surprise. They'll bounce back. UCLA is shooting it extremely well.

Taking too many jumpers since the last 4:00 of the first half and leaving Welch open at the 3 pt line too often since then.

We are witnessing the "freshman panic" now. Hard to see how they come back when their panic is making them make even more mistakes. Hopefully they will learn that they can't just decide to play good defense when they think they might be getting too far behind. They aren't a good enough offensive team.

Boys and Girls we are in trouble, I normally don't get to tore up on one bad game, we have that every year. This team doesn't have the superstar that can carry them through the tough spots, Hami was supposed to be it, amazes me he nearly went to NBA. He is going to have to really get consistent if he fills that role, it can happen but just afraid it won't.

Well...this could be a really bad loss for us.
Can someone explain to me the doom and gloom of a "terrible" loss? Yes UCLA isn't that good this year but it's far from a terrible loss. Neutral court and an 8-3 team who has only lost to Creighton , Michigan and Cincinnati. Not a "terrible" loss at all. Not a game we should lose but far from the end of the world. Not to mention plenty of time left. Have a little faith and root for your team instead of constantly ***** and complain.

We don't look anything like a 4 seed right now, that's way too generous

And the Ulis and Murray team didn’t look like it when they lost to OSU in a game almost identical to this. Or the Brandon Knight team for half the season.

The turning the roster over 100% year after year leads to this. This is not a team. The excuse of young is just that—an excuse for the roster that has been assembled. High risk with little margin of error and it sure looks like it is a miss this year.

We went from a 42-25 offensive reb% edge at half to now losing the rebounding battle. UCLA is now approaching a 40 offensive reb% for the game. Getting beat on the glass and from the 3.
