Dylan Smith shouldn't be playing much more tonight. He has wasted so many possessions.

Struggling with him too. Huge change in momentum.

PJC passed on a wide open 3.

PJC left his feet without knowing his next move. His previous foul was all jackass as well. This is how you get your team in trouble. Be a leader.

We have to let Rawle play through it........we don't have any other choice and we need him if we are going to go anywhere in March

He had a horrible game against ucla, a good game against sc and now he has regressed.

Ayton and Ristic were on the floor together for that entire period. We are minus 10 points with them in together and plus 10 when one of them is in. Something needs to change there.

From up by 18....to up by 1 at the half. 39-38.

yikes

....

also, I find it hard to believe PJC will not foul out by 10 minutes left in the 2nd half.

I know the injuries and everything that has happened to him suck...but if Rawle had progressed the way we all thought, we have a few less losses right now. He's killed us a few games. Just brutal getting nothing on O from him and he's playing garbage D also....but yes, there is no other option.

Miller loves stats, this can't be ignored. If the color guy working with Pasch says go at Ristic you know that it's no longer a secret.

Yes, lets replace Ristic with a garbage player who does nothing on either side. Good idea.

Rawle is totally getting reemed on twitter.

Not fair to blame this meltdown all on him. Like Miller says, the game goes how Ayton goes, not Alkins.

When Ristic and Ayton are in together our help defense goes to shit. We are just way too slow with two seven footers.

Full story:

- 4 out of 5 Arizona's starters are awesome
- Alkins is back to going stupid and killing his team
- Nobody on Arizona's bench can play the game of basketball

Two thing I know:

1) Alkins has never yet recovered from a Black Hole first half. He's always followed a Black Hole first half with a Black Hole second half. That has to change tonight if Arizona is going to have a chance in the second half.

2) PJC need to somehow not pick up his fourth foul.

Both seem unlikely. Let's just hope.

I just think Rawl needs to sit the next few games to rest and clear his head. Or at least cut playing amount down, he is two gears slower at this moment.

A few games ago Walton mentioned that rawle isn't practicing a lot due to the foot pain.
That could be why his shot is so up and down.



Also, Ira Lee needs to hammer people.
No easy lay ups.

regarding the FBI chant

Took the words out of my mouth. Reminds me when they shouted "block that kick" when we went to the FT line for the first time after we lost that TC with the blocked kick.

Such dipshits
