yeah I really think it's going to come down to our bench and the 2nd half foul issues.
If we get production from our bench and we stay out of 2nd half foul issues, I think we can squeak out the win.
If not, well, we probably fade at the end and lose by 10+.

U of A favored by 1 heading to 1.5. Gotta pull this one out or it is a failure

Bring it ECC! Looks like the sharps like UCONN as the line has reversed and in most places we are now a 1 point dog.

Will do!
Hey Chi - I’m missing the Rams game today so I hope I classify as a good fan.
Anybody at City Steam Brewery come to the bar as I’m buying.
Just shout out ECC. Lol.
Friggin UCONN fans. Between Men’s and Women’s hoops they think they invented the damn game.

We have really struggled with UCONN over the years. I think last year was our first win against them.
Of course we really won the Richie Ballisteros game. Most brutal goal tend call in the history of college hoops

Both teams have something to prove this year so I’m expecting a real battle.
Go Cats!

Still remember that game vividly. Loren Woods with that huge block. UCONN has always had our number. That's why I don't have a good feeling about this game.

I just hope we get a fairly officiated game. Not only are we facing the usual regional/conference bias, but one has to wonder if any
of the officials are thinking in the back of their mind that Sean Miller is a cheater.

We need to settle down. It feels like we're speeding things up way too much and making simple mistakes.

Why is it more acceptable here to denigrate Arizona players than other posters?

Minority opinion: I love these unis!
The problem with Smith is the delta between his skill and his willingness to deploy it.

Good thing UConn can't hit the rim on 3 pointers, since Cobb is killing the Cats on his own

It would have been surprising if they hadn't retaken the lead. It's their home court after all.

UConn sure getting some home cooking.
Doesn't the traveling teams bring their refs? Not that the PAC has ever done the UA any favors.

I might be in the minority here, not sure, but Chase is not good at drawing charges, regardless of how often he gets the call. It's a lot more than he should, and both of his attempts at drawing charges today have been awful
