Hopefully Muehlebach won't call us Arizona State like he did last game he called.

Cats opened as 24.5 point favorites. I think we cover that tonight

How is there any explanation for that?

You would think of all people. Apparently he did it twice if memory serves.

Choppy start. But the criminally underrated Smith making plays, as usual.

Didn't take long for everyone to turn against the kid. Winning gold jerseys to off the team in less than a month. Here's to hoping our wings stay healthy.

If Green pulls up again from 10-12 ft, id sit ass on the bench for the rest of the half

Who’s turning against him? Beyond what he deserves for being a knucklehead? I’ve been on record as not being as impressed by him as others. But nobody’s saying we wouldn’t be better if he was bought in and still here. But he’s not and he’s not. So on to the next phase.

That questionable call on Nnaji that sent Miller grinding on the ref, did Miller say to him: "OK, that's one on you!" ????

Haha, bad timing. That was classic bad Smith there. Though some of that was on Nnaji.

Agreed. Won't work when we finally play a quality opponent.

Chance Hunter really needs to change his name to Hunter Chance... since that is what the announcers keep calling him

My take:

We measured the team at this point based on a high water mark of performance for Zeke, which was destined to revert to mean. Meanwhile, we can’t hit free throws or secure a rebound. Those three issues are killing us right now.

A little rough around the edges but a good half minus all the missed free throws. If we had any abilities at the line, we'd be up comfortably.

Old timer post: This is basically how we looked in our game against NAU on Thanksgiving week in 2002, when we went into the half up 5 as the pre-season #1.

Sutton called us ASU today.

How many turn overs do we have?

I don’t mean Isaiah Fox pastries.

8 TOs but at least 3 of them were unforced. 2 "Mustafa Shakur's" stepping on the line, and one bad pass for no reason.

Dylan dribbled off his foot didn't he? I mean, didn't the sun rise in the East?

I feel like our free throw problems are mostly on the older guys. The freshman seem pretty good from the line.

I agree. But I think it’s better to have some firepower to come off the bench.

Obviously Baker also has more upside than Smith since he's coming off injury and adjusting to the system.

I love Jeter's calming presence as a leader even when the clock is stopped.
Smith is much more composed this year. He's still going to dribble off his foot.
Baker is golden for the next couple years. What a get for us.

Green taking over as the team chucker. However, Green is much more talented and can get away with it more.
