Now that's more like it. :)

I’ll be shocked if Arizona defends, or Miller boosts Akot’s minutes in response to that problem.

USC 95
Arizona 80

And no, I’m not going to watch it.

Thanks for the reverse jinx Longhorned.

When we come to play we stand our round pretty damn well. That's all I ask.

Gotta love the spirit of the Brits. Go to any pub in rural England (Cornwall in my experience) and history names the living metaphor to "stand your round". We have the ability but not always the will.

Guess it worked.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.
