My Christmas wish... Kriisa is cleared and the team is keeping under wraps until game. I can hope can’t I?

You can hope. You cannot get. You're a UofA fan. You're going to hell. Drink heavily.

I'll be here all day.

Wouldn’t that be a Krissatmas wish?

No offense to UTEP, but I'd like to embarrass them to help wash last night away. Hopefully Miller is telling his team to do that for Tucson.

Where is Greg?

Finally gametime.

UTEP's orange uniforms hurt my eyes.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:11 pm**

Terry is not having a good game defensively early on.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 4:13 pm**

Koloko is so frustrating

5 games in and I still can't accurately gauge this team..........primarily because we have played nothing but creampuffs

Current KenPom ranking:

Grambling St. 334
Eastern Wash. 136
NAU 329
Cal, St. Bak. 205
UTEP 199

UA 40

Not sure whats going to happen when we finally play somebody.

Was talking about a different merkin.

And...there is a popsicle?

8 Turnovers already. Blah

Very uneven first half, but I'll take the lead.

yup

Exactly. Feels like we should be up by a lot more. Some really bone headed mistakes like fouling a 3 pt shot twice

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:00 pm**

Team rebounding has been good: 25 to 13.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:09 pm**

Bad start to the 2nd.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:11 pm**

Fuck PAC-12 Network for reminding me about the 1987 game.

I was living in El Paso. Did that suck.

Have to give credit to UTEP. They are well coached and run their offensive sets very well.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:22 pm**

i like what i'm seeing overall from akinjo

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:23 pm**

well hello mathurin

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:23 pm**

Nice move by Mathurin

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:24 pm**

That was pathetic by Tubelis

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:32 pm**

seems a lot of the time once guys get within 8 feet, they have tunnel vision of just trying to score no matter what, instead of passing to an open player.
wouldnt mind a little more passing either to cutting teammates or back out for open looks.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:33 pm**

utep refuses to get buried. keeps fighting right back into the game.
I like it

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:35 pm**

I think the comentator might be right, sometimes akinjo is moving faster than the rest of the team seems ready for.

but that's a good problem to have

Maybe. . .prolly should have been solved by now, this team wise. For JA nba future. . . all the good.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:44 pm**

I should have known it would be an ugly game. Verne Harris is one of the officials.

I think the rest of the team will catch up to the speed as the season goes along. At least that's my hope

the airballed free throw

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:48 pm**

All ball

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:50 pm**

Can't buy a 3

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:50 pm**

Have we ever had a game where we never made a 3?

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:52 pm**

way too sloppy in the last 5 minutes

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:53 pm**

Good to get this win.

Ted Robinson answered my question. 2009 was the last time.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:54 pm**

69-61 Cats win

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:55 pm**

Gritty win. I'll take it.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:56 pm**

Poor game, still got the W. For a young team, neither one is bad.

We'll have better days, but I'm glad we got a test.

Posted: **Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:59 pm**

*whew*

8 5+ rebounders is frankly awesome. (16 TO's . . not so much)
