Game Thread: WSU @ AZ Pac Opener

[CatsTopPac]

Bear Down everyone. Here is to 2014 being the Year of the AZ Wildcat!!!

Hopefully Zeus is reseted and ready to bring it. Looking for a good start to the conference season. Glad we are starting with the Washington Schools so that we can come out strong before the LA trip.

WSU is first. Make them feel it!!!!!

Utah at home vs. Oregon could be loss numbero uno for UO tomorrow.

New board is up at McKale. Looks pretty sick... 2013 was a good year, now it's time to dominate 2014. BEAR DOWN

Finally! PAC 12 play begins tonight! Time to take the crown out right and solidify our spot atop the PAC 12 reigns again. GO cats!!!

Two things...

1) Glad this team learned last year that an undefeated noncon means nothing in conference play.

2) Very happy the Pac performed as well as they did in the noncon. Better than anyone hoped for. Now I can get back to rooting against the rest of the league

Can't wait to see how the new video board looks when live.

I still love Coach K's Quote from the Duke Arizona game after Thanksgiving:

"You get by the rim an they are 6'9, 6'10 and 7'1"

Can't wait to unleash our team on the Pac 12... "Arizona Skyline Part II"

My favorite quote was from Coach K in the 2011 Sweet 16 game: "We were overwhelmed."

I hear ya Gordon, I feel icky when I have to root for the Pac. I want them to do well in the non-con, but it still makes me feel disgusting.

Fuck them, BEAR DOWN!!!!!!

I hear ya, that's going to be a great matchup!!!!

 

[CatsTopPac]

I'm glad you guys finally chimed in, I thought I was going to be the only one on tonight!!!!

Funny you bring that game up. I've been going through Arizona Basketball withdrawals the last week so I have been rewatching games on YouTube and DVR. The 30-10 run Arizona puts on Duke in 2011 to make it 77-63, capped by the Horne Slam on Singler still gives me chills.

 

[CatsTopPac]

And that was right after K got his 900th win. Made a legend look dumbfounded!!!

the Pac 12 is definitely the strongest it has been since the late 00's nice to have some dignity back for the overall league and end this stupid dispute about who the best conference was outwest with the Lame Ass MWC. Pac 12 was 10-3 verse teh MWC in head to head matchups this year, only a 9-7 edge for the Pac 12 last year. So two years in a row now we have gotten the better of them and with the exception of SDSU and UNLV I don't think any schools will be getting better in that conference next year.

Exactly, and 10-3 is a good ol fashion ass-whoopin. Hahahaha, I remember MWC fans saying that the MWC should take the Pac's spot as a power conference!

Fuckin idiots. Back to the basement!
