168 basically means they have to score every possession

Mackballs · 03-24-17, 10:01 PM

86-83 it hits. That's 20 points less than the first time they played. With the pace it's really not that crazy of a total

krk1030 · 03-24-17, 10:04 PM

fox the left handed john wall

krk1030 · 03-24-17, 10:08 PM

monk going ape shit, along with fox....ucla in trouble

RobbieStacks · 03-24-17, 10:11 PM

Told you guys Monk would go off. Honestly, Monk and Ball are the only two college players who I can say for certain are going to be very good NBA players.

The problem for UCLA is that Fox, Monk, Briscoe >>> than the collective sum of Ball, Leaf, Hamilton, Alford, Welsh

RobbieStacks · 03-24-17, 10:11 PM

And Kentucky's deeper too. UCLA needs to work the inside advantage if they want to win.

krk1030 · 03-24-17, 10:17 PM

Fox the best player on the court and it's not close.

Dude is in total control of this game.

Ucla just doesn't play any team Defense.. Should be forcing Fox to shoot Jumpers but gets in lane every play

krk1030 · 03-24-17, 10:19 PM

People love to compare Ball to Jason Kidd.

Remember one thing, prime jason kidd was an ELITE defender

BriGuy · 03-24-17, 10:20 PM

My girlfriend - who doesn't watch an ounce of basketball - just told me she thinks the key looks like a big penis.

I am ashamed to say I see what she is saying.

He won't be anything special in the NBA. Monk and Ball are more natural. Better feel

jjgold · 03-24-17, 10:24 PM

Ball not even close to fox

UCLA is soft

Shit... Fox has what you can't teach. Speed. He's like John Wall. I think he's going to be the best of the bunch actually. His wide open game is suited for the NBA.

KRIT · 03-24-17, 10:27 PM

If Indiana tries to get Alford as their coach I'll laugh. Crean isn't very good, but I'd probably prefer him.

Alford's team is all talent. No coaching on offense and they play no defense.

They were crap before ball and leaf, and will be crap after.

Monk is better built than Fox. Twenty more natural pounds, plus a smoother shot. I'm surprised Fox is projected to go Top 5 while Monk is only Top 10. That should be flipped. Fox definitely doesn't look as explosive as Wall was at the same age. I see UCLA playing the same swiss cheese defense that got them into so many wacky shootouts in the Pac-12, not Fox exploding to the rim at will like Wall could do.

Looking good Kentucky knocking down some nice 3s in the 2H

Alford is definitely better than Crean. He built good teams everywhere he went, whereas Crean had basically two very good teams at Marquette in the Wade/Diener years and one good team at Indiana that he couldn't get past the Sweet Sixteen with two Top 5 NBA draft picks playing for him.

I just think it would be a big mistake to go for Alford after all those years with Crean. If you want to build that program, go get someone like Archie Miller of Chris Mack. Alford does nothing on the sidelines. Give him some talent and maybe he can get you to the second weekend. If you don't have talent, you aren't going anywhere.

Fox playing like a 7 footer, almost a putback jam

I've seen Fox since HS (school down the street from me) and I've seen him play at UK for most of the year. He is just as explosive if not more than Wall was at this same point. He's played against some very good teams this year and damn good defensive teams in UF and USC. He's been the one clutch guy all year when Monk went into slumps. Monk is no joke either and can really light it up and unstoppable when he gets hot but I'd take Fox if I had a draft choice.

So your saying she's never seen a big penis and doesn't know what one looks like? 😜

I think they're pretty comparable. Alford wasn't all that at New Mexico. Never even reached a Sweet 16. I remember going to San Jose for the tourney and watched my UW Huskies beat down his Lobos by like 20. Lobos were a 3 seed and UW was an 11. Going from Crean to Alford is a lateral move. Different names, but basically the same coach.

No worries. I knew I was opening myself up for a couple of insults.
