Tough, but promising loss for our lads tonight as the Cougs fell 61-59 to the Bruins.
The difference in the game tonight was UCLA’s first half + the first 5 minutes of the second.
That shooting display that the Bruins put out from behind the arc (with 80% of those shots with hand RIGHT in their faces) resulted in a 56% clip (out of 16 attempts).
If you would have told me that the Bruins would shoot like that BEFORE the game, I would have told you that we would have lost by 20.
.
So, now we know that our boys are for real. So young Cougars, including Marcus Capers who played a hell of a game tonight, keep your darn heads up.
Now, its just a matter of gutting one out on Saturday and then going at it at Arizona State.
Lets hope and pray that we can find a way to win on Saturday. Our boys are going to be an NCAA team before its all said and done.
Its just a question of whether or not we can grow up in time.
FINAL THOUGHT:
Tonight, we just scored 36 points in the second half against UCLA. On Saturday, we scored 50 in the second half against the Quack. You think we’re getting our offense figured out???
