And I hope they're still undefeated when we do.
They're a solid team but I know for certain that:

TE > Mconnell
CJ > any of their forwards
they won't know what the he11 to do with the 2/3.

Bring 'em.
 
oh yeah and nick johnson is a whiny little biotch and I'd love to watch JG stuff the ball back down his throat a few times
 
AZ can be had especially if you don't let Young shoot 3's he'd be the guy we'd have to tag and we would have o attack the offensive glass like UCLA did while trying to protect ours. Johnson is really good though and that front line is stacked.

I don't know. They looked pretty good to me. Their bigs are athletic, they rebound, they score. The guards are quick, penetrate well and are good interior passers. Johnson and York can both hit the 3. The only thing I see in terms of match-ups is that their guards are a little small, and the zone will be unfamiliar to them. If we make the Final Four, I would not be surprised to see them there waiting for us.
 
Just hack Aaron Gordon all night long. Kid can't shoot FT's.
If he bothers you, I'll take care of him. What you've got to do is cut the hamstring on the back of his leg right at the bottom. He'll never play golf again, because his weight displacement goes back, all his weight is on his right foot, and he'll push everything off to the right. He'll never come through on anything. He'll quit the game.

That game last night was really bad. Both teams looks terrible, especially UCLA. Almost felt like a JV game. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it did not look/feel like big boy basketball at all.

Bad?? Maybe it was just the part of the game I saw, but it looked as if Arizona had a very crisp passing game and, as we all know from so many voices that call SU games, the best way to beat the zone is with crisp passes underneath. Ariz. would be a very good matchup with the Cuse, as would Wisconsin with its outside shooting. You might get Ariz. to turn the ball over, though, but you'd better bring a good shooting night to either game.-VBOF
 
Did you see that "zone" UCLA was playing? Good god it really does make you appreciate what a force JB has turned that defense into. I think whenever basketball people put down the zone, they are thinking of a garbage defense like what UCLA was playing last night.

I didn't see it that way at all. Arizona has a nice team and they do almost everything very well. They certainly have the bodies, horses, execute, and have passed the look test all year. UCLA have a couple of first round NBA Draft talents but aren't cohesive at all.
 
I guess i did not see the whole thing, really only the last 10 minutes (right before UCLA made their run.) The whole game just felt really slow, almost like people were not trying or something. UCLA in particular looked super slow. All those drives down the stretch looking for fouls or kickouts were abysmal (even though some of them ended up working.)

I know Arizona is a good team, I just think they are overrated. I would rather play them in the FF than Mich St for example. Or Kentucky. Or maybe even Wisconsin.

I wonder what was written on other boards about SU after the Miami game...
