Game Thread: WSU @ AZ Pac Opener

I wish they had picked a better student representative than Bear-Guy for the UofA's pac12 spot.

"You got the big guy Kaleb Tarczewski.... Aaron Gordon, he can dunk..."

Not exactly a basketball aficionado that one.

RHJ with 3 bad turnovers so far.

THe pac has been focusing on that fan in the stands for a few games. Hahahaha, there obviously wasn't a speech test to qualify!

Our offense is a little stagnant right now

I think we were giving up good offense for good defense. But since WSU got their FGs, it seems like we are focused on both sides of the ball again. AG should have thrown that down, he would have had an and-1 jam!!!

 

[CatsTopPac]

Fuck, 34% AZ?!?!?!?!?

Defensively Arizona just looks like they are getting better and better. It will be scary to see how good they can be in march.

Part of it is the layoff and part of it is just the game itself. Hard to get into a rhythm when you are playing by yourself.

Not giving excuses, they are not playing well on offense, no doubt... just sayin that IMO if this was a closer game they would be more focused. Miller looks pissed... team is up by 20 in the first half and he is yelling at them.

 

[CatsTopPac]

Agreed. I'm definitely nit-picking. Jesus though, what's the record for fewest points/FGs in a half at McKale????

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Lets hold them under 20

They don't have records for fewest points in the media guide... but I can tell you that the McKale record for most points in a half was 74 by UCLA in 1984.

 

[CatsTopPac]

Damn, looks like Cal is going to beat Stanford!!!

 

[GumbySquad]

Ya know... when Arizona goes 4-5 possessions without a basket I don't understand why they don't feed BA on the block.

He has been pretty close to automatic this year down there.

 

[CatsTopPac]

Refs just pissed Zeus off and he took it out on that poor kid going up for the dunk.

Cal and Washington both with somewhat surprising wins. Pac 12 basketball is so unpredictable.

Classy move coach. The game is in hand. No need to risk the starters. Great game Wildcats.

I said this on the ESPN board, and Don Maclean just echoed it. It seems like every year Cal looks a bit weak in the non-con. But every year it seems Monty has them ready for the Pac season. I'm not saying that I caled them beating Stanford, but it doesn't surprise me.

ASU is a dumpster fire. They are the opposite of Cal. They "look good" before the Pac season, and then they always fall apart.

Very true. Cal's backcourt is a bit underrated as well. When they show up to play they can compete with anyone. Monty knows how to get his guys ready.

ASU a dumpster fire? Hmmmmm......sounds about right.

Where is Jahii? He's usually on here.
