Why was there a camera on??????????? The half court buzzer beater WAVE IT OFF!

 

[GumbySquad]

Let me just say what every UofA fan is thinking... we simply cannot lose this game tonight.

If for some reason Arizona plays flat and asu makes 75% of it's threes, cuts down turnovers and plays out of their minds and picks up a W?.... well.... we as Cats fans simply would never live that down.

We would be 80 years old, sitting in a rocker on the porch and get a 1,000,000th text from Fork saying "Remember that time that we beat you in McKale when you were #1 and undefeated... that was awesome"

ASU vs. UofA - YouTube

We didn't even rush the court!

Stupid Ty Abbott if you played like you did your freshmen year we would of won the conference stupid bitch!

Except in the description of the video it says, "...right before rushing the court."

Nice try, but on the rare occasions that ASU beats AZ, ASU rushes the court, like they just won the NC.

We need to do exactly what we did in 2012 play out of our fucking minds. Make all our FTs, Jahii needs to penetrate and create along with scoring, Gilling and Marshall have to be lights out from 3, Bach needs to have an all around good game, Shaq has gotta get out in transition for easy buckets!

And he would end every text with, "Yea!!!"



AZ, we need two wins against ASU this year.

You need more than that. In addition to everything you just wrote, you also need AZ to completely self-destruct. Because when it comes down to it, it doesn't matter what ASU does, AZ is the only team that can beat AZ in this game.

And UofA has to play like an NIT team. I think this game will be close in the first half with AZ leading by 7 at halftime. Then the 2nd half comes and it's a beat down on sparky. Wildcats by 17-25. But with the talent on this team, I would not be surprised if UA wins by 35-40+.

Not if your cold from 3? Which could happen....... We have a great rim protector in BACH. I think your right though im most scared for the match up of Gilling vs Gordon............ Also the rebounding numbers could get ugly.

I don't expect us to win this game but I always think there is a chance.

ASU's Jermaine Marshall out against Arizona - Arizona Desert Swarm

Oh im not even watching this one night folks......

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

I say we attact the rim consistently and challenge Bachinski. Get his goofy looking ass into foul trouble early and put this game away.

so you're saying we have 1/1,000,000 chance?"dumb and dumber"
I like those odds.

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

not only Yea but fuck yea!
Goodnight all because I may be cowering under my beanbag chair in T minus 55 minutes.

Nice pregame match up between UCLA and Colorado just now getting under way.

Will be interesting to see what CU does without Dinwiddie... and also to see if UCLA can pick up a road win in a tough environment.

 

[WhoDatDevil]

...see, that is the perfect example of the difference between us. We root for the teams no matter how good they are. We don't just show up because it's cool to root for a frontrunner.

If asu was undefeated and #1 in hoops there would be a million people in Phoenix sporting brand new gear. But since they are mediocre? You "didn't even know there was a game".

You're telling me you'd have the same support as you do now without the history and the success you've had?

Call me "fair-weathered" call me a "front-runner" but here's the thing, I refuse to support mediocrity. I believe in consumer driven economics where a series of positive incentives leads to success (i.e. I'll support the team when they offer me utility). This program doesn't deserve my money, they hardly deserve my attention. In the past the program has feel short of providing an exciting brand for it's consumers to enjoy.

I have no doubt that ASU will be good at basketball in the near future. The school will see the potential there is to make money and influence the fan base to spend their hard earned money on the team. There are just too many things to offer. But until then, the majority of us just don't care. So build up this game and enjoy the athletic focus of your school.

Let's not get carried away here...

 

[WhoDatDevil]

Let's not get carried away here...

Tell me why they won't and I'll give you 3 reasons why they will..

 

[GumbySquad]

Reasons why asu has a bright future in basketball

Reason #1: Herb will be fired
Reason #2: asu basketball is a sleeping giant
Reason #3: USA basketball moved to Phoenix which means that (in the minds of asu fans) Lebron and some other good-basketball-playing-types are going to be able to suit up.

#4 ASU has a larger Athletic Budget than UofA.
#5 Phoenix is the 12 largest TV market in the nation.
#6 ASU has the largest student population in the country.

Keep it going Gumby..

Says the guy who's consistently on sportshoopla talking about ASU athletics but all of a sudden doesn't support his school. Smh. Congrats Who, you've shown your true colors tonight and proved that you are indeed a fair-weather fan. You're an embarrassment to all and any ASU fans out there.
