@WorldWideWob He shouldn't get fined. Should have the right to say whatever he wants, within reason (which he did). Makes 0 sense. Officials aren't held accountable and it's negatively impacting basketball on all levels.

Known for his defensive capabilities, Kylan Boswell continues to prove he can be a reliable option on the other side of the ball. Throughout the weekend, the freshman showcased efficient shot-making from all spots - both off the catch and bounce. Connected on a few in transition

Timme was phenomenal, but Malachi Smith needs recognition. Smith transferred in from Chattanooga. Had a couple timely 3's in the 2nd half when trailing. Zags don't win that game without him. Finished with 11pts, 3/4 on 3-pt.

Weekend wins over USC/UCLA. Courtney Ramey easily the MVP of the weekend. Shot the lights out (8/15 3pt). The defense he provided won't get enough credit, however. Neutralized Boogie Ellis and Tyger Campbell, making them non-factors, two of the best PG's in the PAC-12.

I can say with complete confidence UCLA G/F Jaylen Clark has boosted his draft stock more than anyone through the first six weeks of CBB. Clark has emerged as the top 2-way player in the country. I looked at all his "grab-n-go" variations. Will be appealing to NBA executives.

Kylan Boswell has flipped the complexity of both halves since his U14-min entrances. So much "want" on the defensive end. Great weak side rotations eliminating Washington's open perimeter looks. The 17-year-old has had the best showing of his young CBB career.

Finally had the chance to look at why Arizona had so much success against Indiana last weekend. I specifically took a look at Oumar Ballo and the mismatches he feasted on. - Post entry passes against a front - High/low in the half-court. - Mid-post/catches away from basket.

Best game from Oumar Ballo in a few weeks. Tons of activity above the rim. Has 18 pts and 14 boards with a few minutes left. Was due for a dominant performance and got the job done tonight. Should be a nice confidence booster with March just around the corner.

Off the bench, Henderson helped ease the momentum of ASU in the 2H, providing a key spurt. I spoke to Ramey about the contributions he provided: “Cedric’s a great player; he added his aggressiveness. He had some key buckets, a floater, a layup, and his defense was tremendous.

No surprises from the 1H, exactly how I expected. - Bal/Veesaar best spurts of season, length playing a huge factor. - Larsson looks to be getting his groove back - Race 3's are no concern. The staff will let him shoot still. - Stay over 70% from line and AZ will win
