Roxy and Bill? This might actually be tolerable to listen to.

[Merkin]

Thank God Pasch isn't there. That will make Walton a little more tolerable.

[dovecanyoncat]

Even more than Bobby, I wanna beat Mick. Fuck ASU; Skullfuck UCLA.

[Postmaster]

Good sign that Akinjo hit one

[Merkin]

Finally a guard hits a shot!

Tubelis with half the team points again.

[FreeSpiritCat]

Cats are horrible at shooting the 3.

[84Cat]

No flow to this game...thanks refs

[WildcatStunner]

Still struggling defensively.

[dmjcat]

Tyger Campbell has been personally kicking our ass the last 5 minutes

[84Cat]

Someone might want to cover this Campbell guy

[UAEebs86]

Cats look like shit

[FreeSpiritCat]

If we don't start playing some defense we are going to get blown off the floor.

[Merkin]

Well, at least the guards have scored for Arizona.

[UAEebs86]

How many steps does Tyger get?

[84Cat]

Tied at 41 at the half

[Merkin]

Gonzaga won't play UA this season, but plays Portland?

[FreeSpiritCat]

Gonzaga won't play UA this season, but plays Portland?

Portland is a member of the WCC.

[dmjcat]

Gonzaga won't play UA this season, but plays Portland?

And I'm glad they don't. Playing Gonzaga this year would be strikingly similar to the UA-asu football game

[84Cat]

11-4 run to end the half, 5 - 12 on 3's

[Merkin]

Gonzaga won't play UA this season, but plays Portland?

And I'm glad they don't. Playing Gonzaga this year would be strikingly similar to the UA-asu football game

Truth. That would be embarrassing. Reminded me of when UA had to cancel the UNC home and home series due to being blown out.

[Dave]

Let's put some length on Tyger.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

I knew if I didn't pick akinjo hex score some points.

[dmjcat]

UCLA is just slowly grinding us under.

They play fundamentally better defense than we do.

[Dave]

Ben is bringing it.

[84Cat]

We just can't stop these guys. They are scoring so easily

[dmjcat]

Our blocking out has been sorely lacking in this game.

[84Cat]

We can't get a rebound playing zone

[dmjcat]

We can't get a rebound playing zone

Unfortunately we can't guard Tyger Campbell playing man to man

[dmjcat]

Horrible shot by Akinjo

[Merkin]

Has UCLA and USC swept the Arizona schools in AZ before?

[84Cat]

Has UCLA and USC swept the Arizona schools in AZ before?

Bill said no

[AZCatGirl]

What a disappointing week. Don't really care as much we won't go anywhere in March.

[dmjcat]

Miller has been turning into Altmans bitch over the past 4 years

Looks like he's turning into Cronins bitch as well.

Recruiting has dropped off this year. 3 recruits ranked 86,98 and 102

The program continues to trend in the wrong direction

[OriginalAZ]

Crappy weekend of games. Not sure why both were televised on ESPN. Are we even relevant nationally anymore?

[Postmaster]

Espn knew would not do well so they wanted to televise it.

[Postmaster]

Wow, UCLA AZ and we don’t fill up one page of thread

[IndianaZonaFan]

I like the flashes we get to see at times from akinjo, mathurin, and tubelis.

Time will benefit this team. Most are newcomers and need time to gel together in this system. I’m very hopeful for next year. If you’ve been bitching about wanting a team of players that stay and develop...this is it. Stop complaining about wins and losses in a rebuilding year when we don’t have a postseason anyway. We need to see development individually first, and then get that all to come together late in the season. This one is a wash anyway.

Im a strong Miller supporter. I believe in him. However, I’m not blind and I can see reasons some want him gone. Well...suck it up and tough it out. He’s gonna be here a while. We had to pay to fire Sumlin, and hire Fisch. No money left to get rid of Miller. And he will get extended because there aren’t many better options out there. Plus if we found one, are they willing to come here with the “dark cloud”? I doubt it.

I think Miller will build up this team and the core of returners. We have a solid squad to keep building next season. Next year we should be able to make a tourney run. And depending on 2022 class could make a deeper one if we can somehow again keep our core.
