For once I'll say that Romar can't expect a 80% clip from 3 so everyone could tell ucla was going to get back in the game. They won and he got aa the ball non stop to finish.
Watching a Romar team give up 30-40 points via lay-ins/dunks/free throws to stop said lay-in or dunk every game is the most maddening thing and is why I can't stand to watch a complete game of theirs start to finish.
They also look no better in game 20 adjusting to how the ref's are calling the game as they did after game 2, but I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt being all freshman, but I would bet next year we will still be complaining about them doing the same things.
Obviously there is talent on this team and credit has to be given to Romar and staff for getting them in here. I just wonder what better in game coaches who teach their players to have better basketball iq would be able to do with this group of dawgs.
Second half was uglier than IrishDawg's COTW Swimsuit Calendar but they got the job done in a game they had to have so no complaints from me.
Need to win the games we're supposed to win and steal one more we're not. I'm not holding my breath but this team has a real shot at the tournament heading into February, it's been too damn long since I felt that way. I'll take it.
Next year will be much less hair pulling from a front court depth problem. With Atewe and the Kiwi the team adds one experienced and one massive solid, white, big. UW basketball fans love white players. (see Applebee, Burmeister, Jensen, Brockman, Hawes, Kingma, Potter, Morris)

Never a doubt.
Alford is Romar's bitch.

A win is a win though. Romar stacked this team with raw, top ten talent.
Does he not bleed purple and shit gold?
