That was a really smart move by Trier. He is so experienced and displays a high IQ.

Ayton finally gets his first points in the half with under 2 minutes left.

Ayton is forcing his shot. He needs to take the extra half second to get set.

Trier doin' the D Wade.

That was laugh-out-loud shot.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 8:57 pm

I thought it was a mediocre half. Ayton and Randolph are struggling. Ristic evens out with good offense and bad defense. But that is expected. PJC has really been a steady force. I like Lee's aggressiveness and would love to see him play more minutes. Pinder was disappointing. It was obvious the freshmen need more experience. And where was Akot?

Not just you, most of us. Lengthy conversation about them at the beginning of last year. Basically everyone hates them, save for a couple people here.

I like them because they look like strips of tape across the top of the jersey, which is awesome.

Do the players like them? Fans sure don't, among them me.

Yea, the old duct tape on the shoulders ones were worse.

The crowd loved that PJC halfcourt shot!

All that matters is if the players and recruits like them. Our thoughts on them mean nothing. They aren't as bad as everyone here says, but they are definitely bad compared to our unis from the Lute days

Mmmmm, yes and no. We're not dominating by means of our expected advantages. But that might be by virtue of some unexpected improvements, namely, more defensive effort which is largely hidden within the overall team effort.

Trier for one is finally playing some hard nosed defense. Ristic has been the weak point on defense this game, but actually had a few good defensive series.

Yeah, the improvements hide within the stats. We don't get bona fide props for deflections and chest bumping pressure, but when Ayton diverts effort to hedging waaaay out from the basket it will have an effect on his scoring. I bet Miller isn't bummed about it.

Trier, man among boys

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:18 pm

Defense. Different this game. Miller is our head coach.

You knew it was coming eventually. Unlike other head coaches at Arizona, I know the defense will come under Miller.

Lee needs more minutes

UALoco · Post by **UALoco** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:20 pm

I am not a bball aficionado but these guys seem to be playing a bit to the competition. I think they'll play better against more comparable competition.

RondaeShimmy · Post by **RondaeShimmy** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:20 pm

Ira Lee is the best

TatetheGreat · Post by **TatetheGreat** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:22 pm

Perfect three from Ayton. Now getting the dish inside from Smith. Feed the beast!

Yup. Fer sure. And he needs to slow. the. fuck. down. half the time.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:23 pm

Love the Lee motor. Going to be a huge fan favorite.

Hard to believe Ndoye only has half the points of Ristic. Dude has a nice touch.

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:23 pm

Lee would start in place of DR but CSM always favors the senior. Guy is pure hustle

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:26 pm

Box out Zo.

RondaeShimmy · Post by **RondaeShimmy** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:27 pm

Definitely not scoring 100 today

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:29 pm

Lee is in foul trouble. This year that isn't that bad.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:31 pm

Trier is in a class by himself. I am trying to think of the last SG this good. Arenas?

CSUB wearing down

This team is gonna be so ridiculous once Rawle gets back.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:32 pm

Love the 3s but we need to find Ayton down low. He's hard to miss

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 9:32 pm

Barcello will be Matt Scott tough very soon.

I think we're getting all those 3's because of Ayton. He's being swarmed.

"No Fear" Trier. He is fully capable of putting this team on his back.
