UCLA

Why is it so tough for people to understand that UCLA is just better than UC? They have NBA talent all over their roster and have an all-time great offense.

I'm kinda pissed at Evans. Why wouldn't he shoot? Go out guns blazing man! C'mon!

There were quite a few games this year where we made the halftime adjustments needed to win. As much as I can't stand the ball father, lonzo is great. The best player in college.

A few observations...

1) We should've had Caupain post up Ball a few times. Ball clearly has the speed and overall skill advantage, but Caupain is stronger and 20-30 pounds bigger. Gotta take advantage of that. Cumberland used his size and strength advantage to perfection against Alford.

2) UCLA was clearly the more talented team. Didn't know how they would respond to playing against a good defensive team, but they proved themselves to me.

3) I hate Lavar Ball. He is the perfect example of the trophy generation parent who has to live vicariously through their child.

4) Do they even call traveling anymore or has the NCAA gone the way of the NBA?? If a guy can literally cradle the ball, take 3 steps down the lane and then pass, it's a travel (no matter how cool or athletic it looks). I guess Caupain carrying the ball every time he dribbles makes up for it. Definitely will miss his grit and toughness, but Broome will be a much better scorer and ball handler (although Caupain was great at taking care of the ball--props for that).

Evans needs to shoot the ball 15 times a game. It's criminal how many wide open shots he passes up.

Just saying the committee had the same evidence that everyone else had and that led to the perception that the ACC was the best conference (and still probably is although the B1G has an argument).

UCLA being a 3 seed was justifiable.

Not sure he is the best individually. He had a pretty good supporting cast. I mean if half your assists ate kicking it out and a guy making threes that helps.

I thought we answered a couple times, just couldn't keep up with their shot making ability

11 years and I am still waiting on a signature UC moment under Cronin

AND WE'RE BACK!!

Don't root them on while they are successful, only rag on them when they lose. Who do/can you consistently root for?
