A game between Mick and Tony would distort time so much as to halt and reverse the expansion of the universe. Time itself would reverse. Chris Nolan should do a movie about UCLA vs Virginia.

Creighton already has 13 threes.

The best defense in the country can't stop a team shooting like that. Same thing happened when Houston went to KU a few weeks back.

Man it is really hard to win on the road. Purdue, UCONN, Baylor having trouble....

Parity is pretty great for us diehards but I bet the casuals miss those super teams full of future superstars.

We've beaten Duke, Utah and Colorado on the road.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I do think this AZ team has proven it can win just about anywhere.

You don't play "on the road" in the NCAA tournament. Even if those NCAA crowds are predominantly for one team, it's not the same as playing a true road game.

I'll still be happy if literally anyone but UConn wins the title this year.

Well then look who we have lost to on the road. If we don't win the PAC it will be because of Oregon State.

I think you are missing the point. It’s a head scratcher that a team like UCONN who can’t seem to beat good teams on the road can somehow transform itself in the Tourney and beat arguably 6 good teams in a row at various venues. Not once but twice.

I don’t get that program at all and I live in CT.

Like one of the posters said, the announcer sounds like he is on Vicodin.

I took it as: don’t make too much of a top 5 team losing a road game in late February. It doesn’t reveal too much about what could happen in the tournament.

3 different coaches in that time period too, so it's not like one guy has the majic juju.
Also like 3 conferences, or 2 I guess but the big east 2* and it isn't the same big east as it was before they jumped

Also, we are the only team to 15 in both o&d in kenpom. Think we dropped in one category for a couple days once in last month or so. Been very consistent while others ebb and flow.

Duke just destroyed Miami & Illinois lost to Penn St

Kentucky continues to cost themselves at the end of games this season, losing to a below average LSU team on the road.

Crazy stat of the night

U.P. Zona Fan · Post by **U.P. Zona Fan** » Sat Feb 24, 2024 11:24 am

Houston with a 6 point lead with 15 min left is like anyone else with a 20 point lead at the under 4. Put in the scrubs!!

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sat Feb 24, 2024 11:43 am

I would say on any given day this UofA team could beat anyone… however I do not think we are are tough enough to beat Houston

TheCat · Post by **TheCat** » Sat Feb 24, 2024 11:52 am

This year is as wide open as any tourney I can remember. We could lose in the first round or make it to the final four as I believe every other team could.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sat Feb 24, 2024 2:13 pm

Duke turning the ball over to lose is amazing.

Filipowski injured in a court storm. Kids on the court before the buzzer.

Reminds me of the kid from Tucson who had a stroke when the fans rushed the court. Ended up partially paralyzed. Had a volleyball scholarship to Stanford or something like that which they converted to academic.

Although he doesn't come off as completely innocent in this view trying to trip and push the student.

He should have flopped, but there wouldn't have been a whistle.

I think no one wants UK in an early round game. They won't get a high seed, but will be tougher than that seed!

The next Larry Bird from ISU!

I really hope they make the tourney, everyone will pick them to the sweet 16

TheCat · Post by **TheCat** » Fri Mar 01, 2024 7:03 am

That is the one team I do not want to see in the first round. Lots of shooters on that team.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sat Mar 02, 2024 8:48 am

Another fan favorite. Unlike the UA, where most venues outside of Glendale and LA will be rooting for whoever UA plays. Which I can understand. Just natural when you have two teams you have no interest in you root for the underdog.

From my attendance at early round NCAA games, I find the fans without rooting interests are more likely to just appreciate good performances...

... but when an underdog is close and competitive with 10 or less minutes to go, they definitely go for the upset!

I watched that last night. Wonderful environment. Seems like the whole court is surrounded by one big student section.

It's pretty amazing that Sister Jean is still with us. Hope she still has a few years left in her.
