After the collapse against OSU last week, it was great to see the team have a great comeback against UCLA despite not playing well. That potentially saved the season. Simpson coming through with some great shots in the second half was encouraging.
Apparently Texas is down a starter, so maybe they can the upset in Austin tomorrow night.... If not, the next few games will provide time for Brooks, Livers, and Poole to get more comfortable, since they'll need to play better (and more minutes) in Big Ten play, but also for Abdur-Rahkman and Robinson to find their shot and regain their confidence.... As for Matthews, I don't understand how he's so bad at free throw shooting despite being able to hit tough and critical 3s and long 2s.
