This is lazy and cheap, yourself. We mixed it up all second half. It's a reason we got back into it.

Blaming the refs is cheap. How about:

PJC only playing ball for 10 minutes
Rawle stinking up the court
Miller stubbornly playing behind Dickerson the WHOLE game

It's college basketball. On the road. Against a scheme that no other team plays. We'd fucking boat race UW at McKale if there was a return game. Duke lost to a St. John's team riding an 11 game losing streak. And Kansas just lost at home. Again. We're a damn good team. And frankly, this type of game was really good for us against this style. I saw a lot of growth tonight. PJC stepped up and played well in the second half when he could've packed it in. He made plays on offense and forced some turnovers. Needs to bring that every night.

Quit finding fault and support your team. We almost won that against all odds and all you can do is find fault. Miller Technical changed the whole game, we played good D, shot 50 percent, one point away from three players scoring 20. Two players with double-doubles. Etc. Go fill your glass up. Go root for someone else if that's all you see.

I think we can say we are back to being a final 4 team again. We are better than most teams out there.

And then you'd be bitching because we'd be giving up second chance points. Credit Dickerson for making some really tough shots. He also got bailed out 3 or 4 times by the Pac 12's finest.

I'm more upset that Ayton shot a grand total of 3 FTs the entire game. He gets hacked more than any player in the conference.

Oh, I don't know, maybe because he KILLED us all night while we played behind him???

And fronting him solves that? And then UW swings the ball from the wing to the high post and suddenly Ayton gets sealed on Dickerson's hip and is out of position for an easy entry pass and definitely out of rebounding position. Keep it up coach.

I fully support AZ, have for 45 years. But there is a difference between fanboy homerism and objectively pointing out issues that we have. Rawle didn't play well......FACT. PJC only played 1/2 of 1/2 well.............fact. Miller didn't even TRY to front a guy that killed us underneath all night........FACT.
