This game scares me.

What's a Ute?

It should.

Arizona AdjO = 28
Utah AdjO = 25

Arizona AdjD = 8
Utah AdjD = 5

Arizona Effective Height = 24
Utah Effective Height = 12

Arizona Bench Minutes = 240th
Utah Bench Minutes = 14th

Arizona vs. Colorado = +14
Utah vs. Colorado = +25

Arizona @UNLV = -4
Utah @UNLV = +13

Arizona ATS = -1
Utah ATS = +9

Utah will be the favorite - (unless you disagree with Sean Miller).

This game could feature the Pac-12 COY, POY and FOY. If Utah wins this game then none of them may be from Arizona.

I really wish Walton wasn't doing the game. Especially since Pasch won't be there to keep things semi under control.

Who will be the other guy?

No idea. But Pasch only does ESPN games so I know it won't be him.

Now there's a stat that jumps out.

Holy crap.

Betting line opens Arizona -4

-4 is a bit surprising, check KaibabKat's post above.

Game of the year.......until the next Utah game. Cats win

Bet the bank on AZ. We are going to win easily. Guys haven't been up for a game since Gonzaga. They will be vs Utah. Zeus will even get a few rebounds.

Sagarin has it at about -1/2 point Arizona.

game notes updated into the thread starting post.

Also, I'm surprised we were favored by 4 to start

Vegas sets the points based on getting each side to bet 50%, not on how much a team is actually going to win by. That's why Sagarin and Kenpom and the like are more accurate.

For those interested, most Vegas sportsbooks have moved the line to -5 or -5.5.

A five point favorite, eh? Hmmmm.....

Cats big. Ten or 15 points. Yes, I know Utah is a terrific D team.

We'll be ready:

..Home now with two educational losses.
..New starting lineup now has experience.
..Pitts floating with confidence on O following Rado, and much improved on D. Gabe, if he's healed, should have special focus now feeling the challenge of stronger intra-team comp.
..Coach has been teaching and talking extra-real with the players since the trip.
..McKale will of course rock.

Yep, like the feel of this game.

Bear Down.

Go Cats!

Gabe is expected to play tonight.

We ready for this?

Ha. Even Pac 12 admits the best team aside from us rotates. XD

Better be.

Ted always looks like he's just starting to peak on LSD.

I'm recording it but am at a place that doesn't have game.

Nervous. . . also slightly pickled.
