The scout says

“Crandall and Hooker are Pac-12-level guards. They’re really good in transition and they challenge you off the bounce. When you get 19 (Hooker’s scoring average) and 16 (Crandall) a lot of it isn’t always going to be out of a set so they do a good job of getting out in transition. All three of their guards are really aggressive and they can change the game. They’re like ASU and they’ll play four guards as well. We’ve gotta be able to defend the ball and get back in transition, and we cannot allow their pace to surprise us. (Defensively) they’re mostly man, with a little zone. They’ll pressure and deny you. They do a great job of stealing the ball.” — UA assistant coach Book Richardson, who scouted the Fighting Hawks.
