Big Ten is undefeated this year. Hope UM can beat Duke tomorrow.

shipp having a crappy night.

 

Collison is having a worse game.

 

Told you guys this would happen.

[Derwood]

not oveR!!!

[Guest]

I am stunned.

 

I told you guys this could easily happen.

[Magnetic Curses]

sims should have passed the damn ball, but he got caught up in improving his stat-line.

[Magnetic Curses]

i hate to see guys just standing there, waiting to be fouled when they should be passing the ball and running time off the clock.

[Guest]

The team absolutely needs to realize Shipp is a complimentary player and he should be the third option behind Collison and Holliday. Holliday is the best player on the team, he needs to touch the ball more.

[Magnetic Curses]

that was a foul.

[Derwood]

no foul on that final 3?

[Magnetic Curses]

well, collison didn't react like he was fouled, though.

[bcl412]

That was a foul, but if you're UCLA it shouldn't come to that.

He was fouled before the 3 when he was spinning around, couldn't tell on the shot

Why not? This isn't the #4 team in the country.

[Vanilla Ice]

thank god

[Magnetic Curses]

thank god

 

why? so duke can be humiliated by a big ten team?

[bcl412]

Maybe not but I don't think Michigan is that good.

[SpongeWorthy]

The Ben Howland patented craptacular offensive game. The guy can flat out coach a man to man defense but UCLA has wayyyy too manny scoring droughts given their talent level.

[Guest]

thank god

 

Duke would have beaten UCLA by 20, why would you be worried?

They're not. Howland coached teams can't solve a zone. Beilein owns him.

I saw something glancing at the TV about Texas Tech and 167 on the crawler and figured it was a stat for the football team's scoring output in the last 3 or 4 games.

I'm just pissed that Jrue is clearly the best player on the team and he had 2 shots in the second half. He needs to be more like Love last year and not worry what toes he's stepping on. Josh Shipp is absolutely not a #2 option on a top 15 team. Plus this team has NO inside presence. I don't know that you can say this is Howland's fault.

[SpongeWorthy]

The last few years UCLA would go through scoring droughts. I suppose every college team does but I don't know if any other top team puts as much pressure on itself to play 40 minutes of great defense.

 

And I agree about Holliday. He's very smooth and probably needs more freedom to create his own shot. Sadly, he seems a lot further along than Derozan :/

[SouthSideRyan]

Assuming Miami beats Southern Miss tomorrow, the UM-Duke game will leave only 1 conference as unbeaten.

 

So who's worse, SEC or Pac 10?

I think part of that the offensive issues is that UCLA never had solid offensive options 1-5 (Mata, Mbah a Moute, Bozeman have all been black holes in the offense). Also, Collison is not a very aggressive point guard and his passing is suspect (especially compared to Farmar, Westbrook and now Holiday) which really derails this offense.

 

Was Derozan hurt in the second half? I like his game a lot, he'll turn it on soon enough, don't worry.

Oh [expletive] you Northern Arizona.
