Re: Caleb Love
If Ballo misses the front end of a 1 and 1 it’s a TO. But mostly I use that phrase because its catchy and simple and conveys the point. I’ve always thought missing the front end of a 1-&-1 should be counted as a turnover if the other team rebounds it. To me the 1 and 1 is the most irritating rule i...

Re: Non-UA Tourney Thread
Gotta say that's a stacked UConn team. The final half was reminiscent of the Women's final. Clark gets a hot start and then shut down late and no hope for Iowa. Also SC, like UConn, was a stacked team with even the bench players, freshmen even, coming in an hitting big shots and playing shut-down D.

Seems like every single game in the last month or two there's a play where a guard drives straight into Ballo and he gets the block and the ball too!
This season we have really see a different player on defense!
Gonna miss that guy!

Clemson plays smart basketball. They usually don't beat themselves. I think we need to limit the stupid mistakes..........especially turnovers. Win the turnover battle, win the game. Bear Down Cats Clemson only forces 9 turnovers a game. Lloyd will love it if the Cats stay below 10. Tommy 🤬

Re: 2023-2024 Arizona Basketball
Think about it. In a way, WSU screwed us a third time by losing to UW and making the Cats celebrate early.
WSU wins that one at home and there's no way UA loses at USC and are likely the #1 Seed out West.

Does Ballo score tonight and draw fouls? If so could be a blow out. Just 18 minutes played for Ballo last time out
Or does USC get him in ball screens for open jumpers for their very capable guards. Boogie leads the PAC from 3.
