What is it with Dykes. He is so openly rooting for Baylor? Is it an ESPIN thing?

“The reality is that the hardest games to win are over teams on their home court. Teams that don’t play those games can spin it however they want, but what they’re saying is, ‘We don’t want to lose in our non conference season.’" - Sean Miller
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Well, missed the last 2 minutes of the game. Thanks ESPN. But great showing by the team with all the headwinds they were up against. Covered the spread. Could have cratered but didn’t. Not gonna shoot that poorly the rest of the season.
Some negative and positives to take away from the game. I like that we eventually cut it down to a one possession game with a chance to tie at the end. I am concerned with the rebounding. Overall the officiating was pretty atrocious as was our offensive flow. Oh well, onto the next one.

You would never expect a team like this that thrives on shooting to have that kind of performance. Our bigs just didn’t play well at all. Doubled Zeke and Lee and Jeter just flinched every time they had a puppy at the rim.

Groan. Even if we had tied it up it feels as if we would have fallen prey to the demons this game: refs/weak legs/short shots/refs/missed bunnies/TOs/refs/slow rotation down the stretch/two starters under the weather/refs

Good summary. Everything was going wrong. Pretty much needed to do just one thing right to win. The part that bothers me most is the rebounding, followed be being too rattled to score in the open paint. I can live with the atrocious jump shots.

Probably might have been better if our bigs had finished their shots. Need to see more of Koloko going forward

Well they now have a nice game tape on slowing us down, Millers move now. Gosh another long week with no AZ basketball but I guess that’s good as we still have guys that need to get healthy

Oh cool, thx Chi, I thought that was between the zags/St Johns game. Omaha is decent. Saw them shoot lights out in a couple games including at WAZZU. Don’t look ahead cats
