Why was Trier even taking that shot? Needed to dump off to Ayton in the paint rather than making him get the rebound and score.

I guess the gap isn't closing after all.

We didn't even play a particularly great game either.

Ayton 6 TOs, Rawle 5 TOs....ughhhh

Absolutely! So many stupid turnovers by us in the second half made it much closer than it should have been. You know Miller will beat them up about that.

we didn't play great at the end... the outcome should have never been in doubt for about the last 10 minutes. We owned them in the second half.

Bordercat wrote:we dominated this game... the closeness is a mirage

Yes. And damn near gave it away at the end because we stopped attacking and started settling for crappy shots. We should've won by double digits with Ayton getting 30 points and a ton of FT's.

There's a lot to clean up. We need an identity and can't settle for mediocre shots. I don't mind us shooting threes, but they need to be taken late in the shot clock when we've gone inside a few times in the possession. There needs to be an order to our shot selection. Ayton inside. Ristic inside. And once ASU or any opponent is so far out of position and throwing double & triple teams at us, then we can take the wide open 3's or the straight line drives. That has to be our biggest area of growth on offense. We need to understand our strengths and and prioritize our shot selection.

Well stated zonagrad!

We didn't rush the court did we?

Why would we? We were favored to win. We've been there before. You can bet your ass that if ASU beats us in Tempe they'll storm the court.

Good, just wanted to make sure.

The crowd was good all night. Came early and stood up most of the game. Pretty damn loud too. I blew out a tonsil on that missed goaltend.

I believe he was referencing an article at Arizona Desert Storm. https://www.azdesertswarm.com/basketbal ... ats-tucson" target="_blank

I had the Cats laying 5. Can't wait for my chicken chimichanga enchilada style with rice and beans on Tuesday.

I couldn't get through that article. Such tripe, as if the thought of rushing the court was even running through our fanbase's collective mind.

pfffft.

I wasn't really referencing anything, just wanted to make sure we are still the rushed as opposed to the Russians. Glad we did not think that beating asu, on our floor, was something to lose our minds over. Even if they were undefeated and ranked #3 by a bunch of boneheads apparently. Because it's not. It's an expectation, and I've never heard of anyone storming the court after winning a game they were supposed to win.
