I'm looking forward to that matchup. Should be a high scoring shootout. Ball vs. Fox will be a matchup worth watching.

I was highly disappointed with our effort last year in LA.

They're 7-0 before playing 11/30 vs. UC-Riverside. They average 97 ppg. This one will be wild.

However, they haven't left California yet.

Great matchup for us. Team that likes to run, can't impact the game defensively, can't pose a threat on the inside... expect this to be a rout.

UCLA against Texas A&M wasn't so much of a track meet. 74-67 if I got the score right. UCLA's schedule has been filled with very poor teams which should have been easy for them to practice their offense and score lots of points. Texas A&M is not all that great and seemed to have no real problem in keeping the score down. I am thinking they have little inside game and certainly nobody to compete with UK's big men. They have decent guards but they are not overall close to being as good as UK's guard corp. I see this one as another potential 20+ point win.

Should be our first true test. I believe we will win soundly but may not be the big blowout some are anticipating.

UCLA played some sort of zone vs. TAM and still got 90% def rebounds. I believe if UCLA finds they can't run with UK, they will indeed go half court with situation running.................... (each team will score well below season avg.)

I saw some of their game against A&M last night. We will crush them.

Nebraska and TAMU both showed you can slow the game down against the Bruins and keep it close. Do expect a run and fun game in Lexington with UK potentially topping 100.

To be perfectly fair, have you ever had to guard a shape shifter? It ain't easy, my man!

Please UCLA run with us. Please?

If they can't, they won't.
I look for UCLA to shoot a lot
of 3's and release quick in
attempt to force a half court set.
Take a chance that IB and Fox not
on outside the arc, and try to keep
them out of the paint.

Good offense rebounding from the
Cats could be the difference.
