They keep saying we have to get Bam involved but he was involved. Every time they throw it into him he has either passed it right back out or he travels. One possession I think they threw it to him like 4 different times he threw it back out 4 times.
Bam getting double and triple teamed,need to open it for him by knocking down a bunch of shots and spreading their defense.They keep the paint packed and stop our drives and Bam,gonna have to find another way to break them down.

Sooooo proud at how hard and smart Hump is playing. He's hedging and sprinting back, Monk showing up more, fox doing his thing. Willis not Gabriel still can't guard Leaf but as long as he's driving to ge basket UCLA is not hitting threes so I can live with that. Can't live with Bam not rebounding and after two turnovers he acts like he doesn't even want the ball as far as scoring. Got it on the block and kept passing it out then got it wide open at the free throw line in the zone and didn't even attempt to turn and look at the basket

Ucla is probably going to try a trap on Fox. Not sure what adjustments we can make. Other than to rebound the damn ball.

I don't think we're going to get much scoring from bam tonight. every time he gets the ball he's mauled by at least two guys. i just hope he can keep from turning it over.

Bam can BUT then Welsh probably goes off. I think near the end (last 5 min) Cal is going to go with Bam on Leaf if UCLA is up and he continues to score. If he continues to score and UCLA is down then stick with Willis/Gabriel since you're winning anyway. Also he might do more of Bam and Hump and put Bam on him if Hump continues to board and rotate like he has

Leaf is a load to stop one on one. Not sure we have anyone who can guard him successfully. Gotta limit his freedom to the basket somehow.

I don't think UCLA can account for both Fox and Monk/Dom/Mulder.

However, I have a feeling that Ball is going to be very different this half. I think Alford will be running more plays for this guards this half to open things up.
