UCLA 95, Illinois 94 OT Postgame
- Status
I think this goes away after a timeout you. I dont believe you can after a timeout. And still you could put a quicker player on them if the do run it.
Lots of champions have lost games like this in the regular season.
Yeah Wagler was especially off from 3 compared to what we are used to. Maybe he does have tired legs after all.
Anyway six days off to recover then beat meatchicken and the rest of the regular season games we have left and we are in good shape
Wagler with 19pts, 8reb, 6ast, and 8/8 on FTs. He had 6 (SIX!) offensive rebounds.
Underwood and his defense. PATHETIC. Ucla scored less than 60 points in their consecutive losses against Michigan and MichiganSt. This is the most points UCLA has scored all year against a quality opponent. You can't when at a high level with this team because of their lack of athleticism, soft and PATHEIC DEFENSE. I told you guys SWEET16 at best. Underwood always preaches no 2's but they give up a 2 at the buzzard. The foreign players are way too inconsistent on offense and defense.

I’m sure this thread is full of level headed individuals with reasonable takes.

What’s inexcusable is Mirk showing up for a game and then taking the next two off. Same with Tomi.
I'm sure you old timers on here remember the controversy over the '84 Rose Bowl football team going to the Playboy Mansion and nightclubs and partying too much before the game and basically being hungover during the game. I wonder if this basketball team just did the same thing, since we played USC the other day and probably just stayed in LA since arriving there before that game. We DID look tired after the first 10-15 minutes of the first half and let them make a 33-10 game a close game, plus a lot of our 3s were hitting the front of the rim, which usually happens due to players being tired.
I know, I'm reaching, but with the NIL, these players have money that the Rose Bowl team that partied didn't have. That team went and partied like the world was ending. So who's to say our boys, the ones that DO have money, didn't do the same thing?
Don't flame me too much, I'm just trying to make sense of this disaster...

No you're right that was the play. It was just go downhill and take a layup or flop for a foul. I'm saying it wasn't that creative on Cronin's part.
When defending that you've gotta make them go side to side for at least some of the strides. We didn't do that. There's a difference between playing smart and playing tentative and I don't think brad has taught our guys that.
That's the downside of being the tallest team in the country, we can't close on shooters quick enough against the better teams
unfortunately he had a very cold night shooting the ball. his putback that almost won us the the game notwithstanding
Except for all the times champions lose this kind of game
This was my issue with it. 4.9 seconds is WAY too much time when you're giving a clear path to inbound the ball. There was clearly a fear of fouling and rightfully so.
I saw the response to the post of “repeatedly losing in overtime games”.
Certainly should have won tonight. But felt that a lot more about the 11 straight field goals UCLA ripped off in the first half and horrific end to the half.
Sadly, before the dent take. I thought we had taken a step forward in learning when Wagler drove instead of settling.
Yeah Keaton's 3 point shots were as far off as I remember them being all year, it happens
