12 point favorites. I would assume they slow it down. Have to check the total number. I think we play well. 9:30 tip, hate the late starts. What is this, football

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 7:24 pm

So if we win, do we play at 10pm on Sunday?

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 8:18 pm

when I google the game tonight, google tells me it's on at 9pm mst.
but the game article and game notes and bball's twitter still list it as 930 so i'mma assume 930 is still correct

Yeah they are early in the 2nd half of the Pepperdine game now.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:24 pm

I hope our game is as boring as this Ok St./Ole Miss game.

College basketball needs a mercy rule like softball has. Just an awful terrible game in front on no one.

Why is Jeter still starting?

Pepperdine was 5-24 from three in their loss today...

... tired teams miss jumpers

Another slow start. Let's fucking go!

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:40 pm

Well if you're going to make stupid foul, at least he only shoots 64%

No reason...

.. except he’s 3-3 and has AZ’s only rebound.

nnaji knocks down nico, and penn gets called for a foul?

lmfao refs suck

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:44 pm

Of course Jeter does better after I call him out.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:47 pm

I'm 100% okay if Penn wants to just start chucking 3s.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:51 pm

That guy Broder looking to grad transfer? We could use someone like him haha

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:51 pm

So Pepperdine lost to UCF 78-65. Just crazy. We must have worn them out. Right now we look bigger, more physical and much quicker than Penn

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:54 pm

The Penn coach subscribes to the Sean Miller style of calling timeouts

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:57 pm

Not a charge

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 9:59 pm

fucking refs are blind not seeing the guy who draws the "charge" is standing on the fucking restricted circle line

pc in NM · Post by **pc in NM** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:02 pm

I love having multiple good three-point shooters!!!

We suck at fouling apparently

Jeter out there yucking it up.

Much better half. Let's put them away in the 2nd.

There's not enough 3 point lines out there.

Love how the Penn guy just blows past everyone for easy dunk

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:23 pm

I'll take an 8 point lead at the half givin our slow sections that half.

He is also letting Brodeur blow past him on defense. So you tell me what is better, leading in points or surrendering just as many? There is a reason why Lee was out there for a lot of the first half.

Chase is faster than Gettings, but not by a ton. Brodeur is 3 for 10, so we're not doing too bad on him in aggregate.

ByJoveByJingle · Post by **ByJoveByJingle** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:34 pm

It’s just shocking how many catastrophic defensive breakdowns we have. I guess the upside is that they are brain problems more than body problems . . . so maybe this can be fixed?

I agree that he, and a few others on this team so far, has defensive liabilities...

... but “out there yucking it up” is not accurate for his contributions so far tonite.

Maybe he meant fucking it up.

Just trying to be helpful here.

When he blows past Jeter, other players have to help, this leads to opportunities for the other players on Penn. Brodeur leads his team in assists. Oh well.

Seems we've always been vulnerable to a drive across the top of the paint and down the far lane. Opponents seem to have a Stapley and we only occasionally have a Nick Johnson.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:43 pm

If we can't hedge on screens against Penn and Pepperdine without giving up easy buckets....what the hell kind of chance do we have of making that work against the Oregons/Gonzagas of the world??

I think Miller needs to rethink parts of his defense.

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:46 pm

Yes, I would love to see Brodeur as a grad transfer. Penn is shit without him on the floor

ByJoveByJingle · Post by **ByJoveByJingle** » Fri Nov 29, 2019 10:46 pm

God, such beautiful offensive basketball. They look like pros out there.

Agreed - Brodeur is a smart player, and their offense runs through him...

... benched with four fouls, they should have major difficulty now.

Which part is bothering you more . . . The 37% fg percentage or the 17% 3pt percentage?

The part where plays stops and there’s a commercial.

The out of position, lack of communication/anticipation, and easy buckets are concerning to me

The catastrophic breakdowns are frustrating and concerning. But they still only count for 2 points despite drawing lots of attention to themselves. But that means they are playing good D when they don’t throw a shoe.
