Who's Vladimir Friend texting before the game



GOAT. Might have to move up in the draft and select Holmes.

Not much of a shot blocker, but #44 Aly Holmes got this one. He had #55 Vladimir Friend behind him as insurance in case he didn't block it.



Smooth finisher. 6'2" but plays like he's 6'5".



#20 J.W. Goode went off on me for Arizona. He dominated the paint. With one more year of eligibility I expect him & M.C. Stiles to have Arizona back here next season. Stiles played on the opposite team of Holmes & Carey in the McDonalds All American game.



#13 Brooks Jimenez struggled in the first half but bounced back to go 4/11 (3/8 from behind the arc) in the win.

We making a run

Wish we were in any other bracket than the East with Alabama

But we might not meet them in the Elite 8 once we get past Stanford.
