Wish we had an away version of the retro CPaw.
The guys have played well in the retro unis. Still kind of hope that maybe UA has done an away version for the Tourney that will be unveiled tonight but not likely.
If an away version isn't in the cards, I'd probably go with red. Studies have been done that teams in black unis get more penalties and fouls called on them. The zebras may already be inclined to protect the higher seed UCLA since the game is in CA so I think wearing the reds are the more prudent choice.
Either way today is going to be a long day waiting for the tip-off. Glad the guys will have the maximum amount of rest before playing. They will need to have great energy.
Yahoo Sports ranked today's slate of games. UC/UCLA checks in at #4:
4. UCLA (3) vs. Cincinnati (6) – 9:40 p.m., TBS: They both have won 30 games this season, but UCLA and Cincinnati could not have accomplished that more differently. The Bruins wants to play at a break-neck pace. The Bearcats want to methodically grind out wins. The Bruins rely on a dynamic offense loaded with shooters. The Bearcats’ backbone is a tough, aggressive defense. One factor that could play in Cincinnati’s favor is the injuries that have beset UCLA. Ike Anigbogu, the team’s best rim protector, missed Friday’s game with a sprained foot. T.J. Leaf is still dealing with a lingering ankle sprain and Lonzo Ball took a hard first-half fall on Friday night.

This is going to be a tall order. I want the Cats to advance so bad! We need to take it to these guys. Someone post the Major league GIF of winning the whole fracking thing!

The game brings to mind to last of this paragraph of James Michener's Tales of the South Pacific where he wrote:
“I wish I could tell you about the South Pacific. The way it actually was. The endless ocean. The infinite specks of coral we called islands. Coconut palms nodding gracefully toward the ocean. Reefs upon which waves broke into spray, and inner lagoons, lovely beyond description. I wish I could tell you about the sweating jungle, the full moon rising behind the volcanoes, and the waiting. The waiting. The timeless, repetitive waiting.”

Been watchin these good teams lately. To get where we wanna be year after year, we need to work on getting some easy transition baskets. North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA, get back down the court quick and answer.
The other thing we need is a guy who can generate his own offense. Troy does is at times, but ultimately he is not athletic enough. Hopefully Jacob Evans, Jarron Cumberland, and Cane Broome are those guys in the future. Right now, we don't have a guy that consistently does it.
Otherwise, we have been sharing the ball well, shooting the ball pretty well, and our defense has always been there.
