In Saturday’s win against UCLA the Cardinal started only one player under 6-foot-7 due to the absence of three key players, none of whom accompanied the team on the road trip. Guards Daejon Davis and Bryce Wills are dealing with injuries that have limited their play, while highly touted freshman forward Ziaire Williams won’t play again after sitting out the last game due to personal reasons.

Stanford only has one player—do-everything senior forward Oscar da Silva—who has played in every game, let alone start them all. Da Silva torched Arizona for 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting in the last meeting.

Little-used 6-foot-10 junior Lukas Kisunas played a career-high 33 minutes against UCLA, leading the team with seven rebounds, while 6-foot-9 Jaiden Delaire had 19 in that game as the Cardinal had a 36-20 edge in points in the paint.

Jay Bilas...argh.

Both teams will look totally different compared to the first time they met. I think our defense is 10x better so I don’t expect Stanford to be able to score at will. They will probably go inside quite a bit so will be interesting to see how this game is called.

came to post the thread, but it's already up

If we don't you know who to blame.

I'm so glad the game got moved up to 8. Those 9 o'clock games are killer

So happy for mathurin!!!

Glad it's not a bad injury

This is surprising.

Fantastic news!

Will be interesting to see how Miller subs tonight with only 2 guards and 1 wing available from the normal rotation.

Does Akinjo/Brown/Terry play 40 minutes??

Does Gorener get major minutes??

Does Miller go big (3 bigs and two of Akinjo/Brown/Terry)?? I suppose Miller could go straight zone with this lineup.

Hurry up and end this other game.

Stanford up 4-2 early

This team is fun to root for. You can see how good they’ll be next year when they’re a little more mature and familiar with each other.

So much for only for emergencies.

Arizona up 8-4 at the first timeout

Downtown Brown! Threeeee!

Ira Lee, well, you can see why he didn't start

Being a Pac12 ref means never having to say you’re sorry for missing a blatantly obvious call like Jordan Brown being tripped in the lane.

But then again I'm old...

Too many turnovers. Need to take better care of the ball to win

We are having problems with Stanfords length......just like the first game

9 to's already

Nice footwork by Kisunas

Akinjo leads the team in points rebounds and assists

Think we can agree that taking Akinjo as a transfer was a terrific move.

Is Coleman still on coaching staff?

Jordan brown, work harder, run faster!!!

Our big men are not playing well today. Understandably. Stanford has probably the best big in the conference

Apparently it is an emergency when tubelis isn't scoring

Let's go!!!

Dalen!!!!!!!!

Nice little run

Brown needs to get in the weight room and add muscle in the off-season. He gets pushed around
way too much.

Is Dalen Terry our secret weapon?

I like this team, guys.

Most likeable team since tj, rhj, ag

TB3!

Maybe the tj, sj, ba, rhj,

Can we keep a lead for over a minute?

We need to get our heads out of our asses NOW.

Cats in deep kimche

30-10 points in the paint

oh fer 5 FGs, no FGs in 4:30

Start bombing 3s.

We’ve wasted way too much time. Good night.

2 for the last 13 fgs. Huge choke

Siiiiigh gonna get swept by Stanford.

1 for 10 fgs

I fucking hate losing. Especially at home.

Stanford had lost 11 straight at McKale
