Ayton is getting fouled every time. PJC makes honest good defensive play on Holiday and they bail him out. BS.

No movement on offense, hardly any effort to get the ball inside.

Our defense is smothering. This is what our D is supposed to look like. This is fundamentally about our inability to keep them off the offense boards. What the hell is going on?

I've never seen us rebound this poorly before.

I'm wondering if Ayton is having any foot issues... he has no lift

Welp, our spacing is terrible so many times that we are on top of each other. Our guards stand at perimeter with the ball and call for a screen from a big who comes up to set it and even before he gets there the guard dribbles away and passes to the other perimeter guard. I just can't understand.

PG play had nothing to do with this shitty half. Some players chucking 3's and no rebounding was the problem.

To be fair UCLA had like 4-5 offensive board that hit back iron and bounce way out right to their guys.

There's just no excuse to not run this offense through Ayton every drive. Why can't we get him the ball. It was the same last year with Lauri. Get your top players the ball in big games. It's infuriating.

UCLA has a lot of good players. Hard to believe they finished 4th in the conference. Last year they had Leaf and Ball and finish 3rd. Way to underachieve Alford.

After looking at the first half box score, definitely need to win the rebounding margin the second half. That is the difference maker right now

PJC has been locking down Holiday. This is so frustrating. They are wasting a lifetime defensive performance from our overmatched point guard because they can’t keep the beastly Welsh and Golomon off the offensive boards. :roll: .

PJC has done a good job on defense. Plus 2 AS, 1 ST, 0 TO. Getting outrebounded 22-13 is just embarrassing. And Trier, Ristic and PJC shooting has been horrible. We are just very lucky that UCLA's 3 point shooting has been as bad as ours. Otherwise, we could have been down by 10-12.

Our best scorers are cold as ice and we are only 4 down at the half.

Keep up the great D, hit the boards harder and knock down some shots.

Holiday with 7 points is great D, but PJC has no points, and only 1 assist. No TO though. http://stats.statbroadcast.com/broadcas ... slive=ariz" target="_blank

Stats are showing PJC with 2 assists and 1 steal. But we do need at least some points from him and definitely more from Trier and Ristic. And zero offensive rebounds in the half is bad.

Course, we won't know for sure until after the game.

It might be his shoes. During the CU game Ayton was talking to the equipment manager, not the trainer. Guess they brought the wrong pairs.

Which hardly ever happens! Seems most games the UA comes out slow the start of the 2nd half.

Great to see PJC finally score and Trier hit a legit 3.
