The scout says
“They’re playing harder and they’re committed more (defensively). They use a man and a matchup zone, with a little bit of the press. They do a great job of blocking shots and they don’t foul. They make you think about bringing it in. … They’re arguably the most talented team in the league. They’re older. They understand what it takes to win now. Last year, they had a really young team and a lot of freshmen who didn’t understand how tough it would be in college basketball, and this time they’re super talented. I think that’s the difference." — UA assistant coach Book Richardson, who scouted the Trojans.
