Damn! We have a game!

Other than Akinjo the Cats can't shoot.

Ira still doesn't know how to play basketball.

eastern washington flops as well as duke

lol eastern washington schooling us by just going to the rim when we double the ball handler
lmao pump fake, get the late defender in the air, go to the rim. easy.

It would be nice to have Barcello.

A problem I am seeing is shooting too early in the shot clock when better shots can be found.

Akinjo shoots all the time. That is a two edged sword. It's great when he is hot.

well damn this eastern washington team can shoot it

Yeah, Sean was right. These guys are pretty good

The Cats definitely need more games under their belt. Eastern Washington is playing like an experienced team.

eastern washing up by 5 at the half.

don't worry boys, we got em right where we want em.

These guys better wake the fuck up and tighten up their defense

Well that didn't look good.

The pundits who picked the UA to finish in the middle of the PAC12 are looking prescient at the moment.

Two issues (among many):

1) No outside shooting
2) On ball defense (especially the guards/forwards) is terrible. Akinjo appears to be the only competent
on-ball defender we have at the guard position. Terry/Mathurin look absolutely lost. Hopefully this improves
as the young kids eventually figure out the intricacies of Millers pack line defense

I guess it was a good idea that we cancelled the Gonzaga game.

This is going to be a long afternoon unless the guys get their heads out of their asses.

Go small and switch everything

When is the last time we scored?

This is not a good start...

lotta whistles to start the half.
let em play a lil refs

That is not a flagrant. Let's play

This second half is a shit show

great hustle and pass terry

what the fuck did they call on Lee?

fuck off refs

Lee = Bull in a China Shop

He would be better served playing defensive end or tight end for Sumlin

the ref literallly 8 feet away didnt call a tech.

but the ref across the fucking court did.

fuuuuuuck off

because lee glanced down at the dude.

didnt stand over him and stare him down.
literally glanced down at him.

fuuuuuuuuuck off

oh no, look at Ira's unsportsmanlike conduct! fucking horrible officiating

lmfao the refs falling for this flopping bullshit

WTF is this ref looking at?

would be great if we could shoot well.

Zone beating us again. Can't hit open perimeter shots and they are collapsing on the bigs. And of course they are hitting every open 3.

Dunk the fucking ball

Not able to watch this one, but (checks notes) I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to struggle to beat EWU at McKale. Oh well. Weird season.

This is going to be a long year.

flop central

1. Kerr still isn't playing
2. We knew this. Almost a totally new team and no real studs. We are building for the next 2 -3 years

True or false: Heeke, Sumlin and Miller won't be at AZ in two years.

If the frosh transfer out just keep tacking on another year? 2 years away from being 2 years away. DWWD.

The good news is it doesn't really matter how much we struggle this year because this season barely counts.

Unless you have money to pay for two coaching changes I can't see how this will be true.

Can we dunk the ball?

I'm gonna go with yes.

I like the fight in the Cats right now. Blue Collar team. I wish they would do this more often.
