I don't care who they've lost to recently, this should be a good game.

Redemption game for them so we will get there best shot

Along with UA and their notorious slow starts. Cats will be playing catch up until the wear down.

#10 RPI Arizona vs. #120 RPI Michigan
#18 RPIF Arizona vs. #117 RPIF Michigan (RPI Forecast gives AZ an 84% chance of winning)
#19 Arizona over #97 Michigan by 12 points (Sagarin)
#9 Arizona over #46 Michigan in a 68-59 game (Pomeroy gives AZ an 85% chance of winning).

Michigan is right up there with other college BB powerhouses like ASU, Yale and Sam Houston State.

Will Arizona lose at home to the team that lost at home to Eastern Michigan and the New Jersey Institute of Technology?

I don't think so - this should be over by the half.

Only remaining tough (Top 25) game in McKale is scheduled for January 17th against Utah.

Still going to place a bet on Michigan beating the spread for the first 10 minutes. Outside of the last game (lost by 2 points) almost every game the opponent has been beating the spread for the first quarter of action. It's been gold so far.

Now that's more like it.

Updated the original post with the game notes, and the rest of the game info.

Of note, the tip time appears to have been moved back 10 minutes. The official website's schedule had listed it at 3:15 originally, but the game notes say 3:25

As late as tonight espn was advertising it as 315

Hmm. the official schedule page also still shows 315.

Maybe the person who typed up the game notes had a finger slip and hit 2 instead of 1?

Michigan starts at 3:15 - Arizona at 3:25.

UADevil,
Some people posted that for awhile Vegas had the UVU line at -8.5 or -10 or something like that. (a mistake - must have thought it was Utah St. or Utah).
Did anyone manage to get a bet in while they had that line? That would have been some easy money.

I just want to say the reason I loved TOS and now this place is because of comments like this

I'm excited...not in like "oh she's wearing that to bed" excited, but "oh there's a nationally televised ESPN game in McKale with Shulman/Bilas" excited.

Javier Morales has a wonderful lead-in piece for todays game here:

http://allsportstucson.com/2013/12/14/a ... sive-past/

I remember the 1993 game like is was yesterday. Here is what Javier has to say about it:

"1. No. 12 Arizona 119, No. 7 Michigan 95, Dec. 30, 1993, McKale Center, Championship of the Valley Bank Fiesta Bowl Classic
— Khalid Reeves scored a career-high 40 points, the most at McKale in the Pac-10/12 era, against Michigan’s Fab Four who played in the NCAA title game the previous two seasons. It was that group’s worse loss at Michigan. They included Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Jimmy King and Ray Jackson. Chris Webber had already left for the NBA."

Divide the scores by two for the likely outcome today.

I will be there!

probably won't happen, but i'm hoping rondae gets the start this afternoon. michigan's gonna try and make it rain from behind the arc and work the backdoor action. we'll need RHJ locking down the perimeter and defending those cuts.

go cats!

Awesome, love to see the students camped out in the rain, 4 hours before the game starts!

Think RichRod will be in the house?

York is getting the start again. Looks like Miller didn't read the "Start Pitts" thread.

When will he learn?

Just saw a tweet - he's there.

Last year I think #aplayersprogram tweeted out yhat the win at Michigan was for RR. Hopefully there are a few thx Michigan signs up today

game hasn't tipped, so I guess tip is at 325?

Really excited for this one

Contain LeVert and I think we'll be in great shape

Correct.

ghostwhitehorse wrote:Think RichRod will be in the house?

Hopefully, and hopefully bringing along some recruits to give 'em the McKale experience.

We're due for a fast start

Or at least, we've gotta be...right?

We got Bilas and Shulman? I'm shocked.
