Didn't see much of the game but what I did see was frantic and a little sloppy. If we hit a few 3's we're right in it against Zona or FSU. Let's get at least 1 of those 2.

We should beat Zona, a loss would be pretty disappointing.

Zona is playing at 9 on PAC-12 network (If you have it). Playing garbage team but could be worth the watch

Pookie can play and GS is not garbage. Zona only +10. Slice it to around +6.5 on a neutral. If Zona looks forward to the game Sunday in a heated packed venue with a 4 time champ they will lose.

Strange tweet. What does that even mean without a frame of reference...as compared to UCF at 0.33.

 

[StunningSteve]

UCF beats Bama.. 70-64

The guys on the pac 12 network says Georgia southern has high FG% in country so let’s hope Zona doesn’t lose to this team

 

[Ajs120102]

Also Zona only +1 in rebounding against opponents so maybe rebounding won’t be as much of an issue. Jeter is stud.

Zona's Center with the one-sided hiked shorts is a bit awkward...

Lol I noticed that. This Zona team lacks that intimidating feel we are used to as well

 

[Ajs120102]

Zona struggling against zone. Not rebounding too well. Not looking awful either.

 

[HawkHusky]

First time really watching Zona this year. Our guards look a lot better and our bigs may match up well against theirs.

Their uniforms look sharp tho.

This is the least talented zona team since 2009, The early entries and cheating scandal really killed their recruiting class and team, even though they should rebound next year with another top class. We are better and should win.

They have TERRIFIC uniforms. But yes this team really isn’t that talented. UConn matches up real well. For some reason I’m feeling a big game for Cobb

Just having an interest again in watching neutral games that impact UConn is so refreshing. I missed that.
The last couple years made me lose some interest in regular season college basketball as a whole.

I agree. I think Carlton is a year away from being what we really want. Zona has some athletic, albeit untested bigs who could give him trouble. Ollie recruited Lee for a while. Cobb has been our secret weapon that we have only broken out against better front courts and I think he will get more minutes that Carlton again this weekend. Hurley is fortunate in that he has very few decisions to make in our backcourt but he is definietly balancing future development versus current success in our front court.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I like our chances against this Zona team. Front court will have their hands full with Jeter and Luther though. We need Cobb to step up again.

I agree. Cobb has been like a mobile brick under the basket. Hard to move and surprisingly mobile. Also of note, Zona getting into foul trouble easily. Surprisingly Jeter and the other dude haven’t rebounded well in this game or all year

 

[Ajs120102]

Final thought: Zona blowing Georgia Southern out on great defense. Average rebounding. Great from the field. However, UConn can beat this team if defense is tightened up. Cobb and Carlton can match up well with the bigs. This game is a 60/40 UConn advantage imo

It means their defense is really good. And that this tiny dude tried to drive on Fall.

ESPN Analytics agrees with this notion. They even have it at about 67/33.

Michigan State @ Rutgers on BTN. Rutgers with their first sell-out since 1997 and look like the better team early on. Pikiell doing work.

 

[Ajs120102]

If you’re feeling adventurous Pitt and Dusquene is a solid game
