Games thread- MEN'S BBALL on the road at USC (Thursday, 1/12/23, 7:00 PM MT; Pac 12 Network) & #7 UCLA (Saturday, 6:00 PM MT, Fox)

[Alfred91]

Get a goddamn defensive rebound!

 

[MtnBuff]

CU not handling the defensive pressure from UCLA well.

Like our talent in future years but how much could this team use a guy like Kin who could negate that defensive pressure and use it against them.

 

[Alfred91]

Okay - you cannot come down on the ball as hard as that guy did when he knocked it out of Hammond's hands and not be coming down on the arms, too. I can't imagine many guys getting away with that.

 

[Formerly_Medford]

Lawson continuing to be a lot more aggressive on the boards. Very good sign.

 

[ZandiBuff]

And now we gwt more Ethan to be a waste of space on the court

He's gotta hit that look if you're gonna keep playing him

 

[ZandiBuff]

He's gotta hit that look if you're gonna keep playing him

Or be even somewhat in the way on defense, neither of which he is doing

And a terrible turnover by him...

 

[ZandiBuff]

3 blocked shows and an offensive foul. On 1 series.

 

[pmoney52]

Jaquez got A LOT of body on KJs block

 

[torero]

Jaquez gonna get a ton of blocks if hacking the **** out of KJ on a dunk attempt counts as a block.

Pac-12 refs in Pauley are gonna Pac-12 refs in Pauley.

 

[Buffnik]

We're getting a lot of shots blocked.

That's fine. Stay aggressive. Don't let it get in your heads as players.

It's one of the most overrated stats. 4 things can happen, 2 benefit you, 1 is neutral and 1 benefits the defense.

It's either a foul, a loose ball to a teammate getting the ball against a defense that's out of position, out of bounds to you, or the ball goes to them. Plus, when a team gets block happy their weak side rotations & rebounding usually goes to sh!t.

So stay aggressive and don't worry about it.

 

[Hank]

Has Ruffin jumped Hammond? Similar game to Campbell actually.

We Commin for all the games we aren’t supposed to win!

 

[Hank]

That was a foul on the wrist, BTW.

Bad miss by the refs.

 

[Hank]

I'm excited to see this team develop. But next year...

 

[Hank]

F*CK!!!

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Clifford can't catch or make a layup.

 

[Formerly_Medford]

Clifford... come on son, you gotta start doing something right on offense...

 

[BIGEZ321]

Clifford OMG!!!! Let's go man!!!

 

[Alfred91]

That pass from KJ to LOB that "got knocked out of bounds". Dude cracked LOB on the arm, hand never came within 6 inches of the ball. But at least they called it out on them.

 

[Da Lama]

Clifford can't catch or make a layup.

I’m sorry, but he’s worthless.

 

[Hunchback Quaker]

I love Lawson very much. That is all

 

[Alfred91]

We gotta clean up the slop on offense.

They ain't gonna go 0-7 from 3 in the second half.

 

[BIGEZ321]

I’m sorry, but he’s worthless.

How the hell did Clifford's offense get worse this year??? I hope he's better in the 2nd half.

 

[Hank]

I love Lawson very much. That is all

He definitely gives 100%.

If by Hammond, you mean nique, then yes.
