WTH? Beavs shoot 10 free throws while Arizona shoots 34!
Tough to win games with that disparity. We must really be physical!

I've accepted that this team just isn't at the point where I can expect them to beat the better teams in the conference. I think we play better team O and D this year than years past which is what encourages me moving forward with these guys though. This is another one of those games where even if we have a good game, run our sets, and do a lot of things right, UA is just the better team. At least we've stopped playing down to our competition like we've done the last few years. So, we really lost to USC? I swear we beat them. I said I don't expect us to beat the better teams. We played good games @usc, @ucla, and to an extent a decent game tonight as well, just this team doesn't quite have the talent to consistently win these games right now. |

When they’re that much thicker, stronger and faster....we ain’t impeding anything just slapping and grabbing. Our bigs were helpless on the block, out rebounded 47-34, we out fouled them 26-12, good thing they missed 11 FTs. |

Much better fight than last time, but yea, they are a bad matchup for this team's construct. One thing I did like seeing in this game is Hunt's play; his athleticism looked problematic even for a team of UA's caliber. He has a lot of upside. |

un·im·ped·ed
/ˌənəmˈpēdəd/
adjective
not obstructed or hindered.
Words have meaning.
If a player driving toward the basket is unimpeded - ie, not obstructed or hindered - he will not be fouled, and thus not shoot any free throws.
If we are grabbing and slapping, we are attempting to impede the player driving toward the basket, so by definition it's not an unimpeded drive.
Nice GIF though.

I believe the comment was "virtually unimpeded" virtually by definition is nearly, almost. So there was plenty of room for us to foul.

So they were seemingly unimpeded rather than virtually unimpeded? Or perhaps they were almost or nearly unimpeded? Words are so confusing these days.

No, they were almost always impeded, just not properly. You impede right, they don't get the hoop and/or the foul shot. We have to learn to impeded better.
