I'll have my stream up

[HiCat]

Hope the Cats get it done.

[Merkin]

Thanks Fish!

[AZCatGirl]

With Gonzaga losing I hope the guys know they can't take anyone for granted.

Bear Down!

[Bangkok Wildcat]

Thanks Fish…I assume the same as last time for Duke. BTFDB

[Abrahamarvel]

PM not working again... Fish can you send me the new link? Thanks!

[Merkin]

Game is delayed.

This stream works too: https://methstreams.com/ncaabballstreams/espn2/

Exciting Providence/OU game!

[Fishclamps]

How long can one review take

[Abrahamarvel]

Thanks!!

[Merkin]

Holy shit I wanted that to go in.

[84Cat]

We're in for a long night

[84Cat]

Caleb with the rainbow 3

[84Cat]

Let's see if ADO can stay in front of his man

[84Cat]

Tie game

[Djcat]

Oh no Dilly is in

[84Cat]

Dilly scored at least

[Djcat]

This team is pretty slow. Gonna be a long year. And Love is so lost

[Fishclamps]

Conrad

[Djcat]

Spaniard seems serviceable

[Djcat]

TOs killing the flow

[LuteIsGod]

I didn’t know that the garbage NBA step threw is allowed in college now (the kid who planted his pivot foot and then stepped threw past Krivas)

[LuteIsGod]

We can wear them down IF we play the boring game and take it down low EVERY time

[Fishclamps]

Would like to see us start really pulling away before halftime

[Fishclamps]

Really haven't seen a lot of Carter

[84Cat]

Nice drive Caleb

[Djcat]

Can Love do this against teams like Duke?

[Fishclamps]

Can Dell'Orso keep this up ?

[Djcat]

Maybe this is comfortable for Dilly - like back in Campbell playing against teams like Davidson

[Djcat]

The commenters just shit on Dilly’s defense

[LuteIsGod]

Can Love do this against teams like Duke?

He can BUT will he?

[U.P. Zona Fan]

He has played like this against Duke, multiple times.

[LuteIsGod]

Maybe this is comfortable for Dilly - like back in Campbell playing against teams like Davidson

He needs to flash to the open spot for the 12 footer. Once he made that first jumper, he looked comfortable. I’d be happy if he never takes a 3 and just hits the short jumpers

[AZCatGirl]

Team is looking better. Hope they can keep it up in the second and clean up a few things.

[Postmaster]

Who has more minutes? Martinez or Bryant?

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Glad they stopped just throwing it away every possession early in the half. That was a rough start.

I think his sole purpose is to make 3s.

[TheCat]

We just don't look fluid at times. Also way to many turnovers to start the game. Our defense is good. Krivas protecting the rim. In the 1st half we picked up two quick fouls against their best player (number 1). It really affected them until he came back in. Will be a close hard fought game. Go Cats!!!

[Merkin]

ADO with the highest +/- of +11

[Merkin]

9 TO's. Most elite teams want 10 per game

[Djcat]

Krivas actually stepped up his D as the game wore on. Impressed. First minute when he was in - not good

[azcat49]

Love is just so much better when he is a WILLING driver of the basketball.

If he could find consistency in his effort on that end, we would be vastly improved

[Djcat]

Today is not Lewis day. He’s trying too hard

[AZCatGirl]

More driving from Love.

[AZCatGirl]

Where has THIS Dell'orso been?!

[Djcat]

D intensity is fading

[Abrahamarvel]

Where has THIS Dell'orso been?!

He should stick to this catch and shoot mode

[AZCatGirl]

Heads up play by JB!

[Djcat]

That should have been and 1 on JB

[84Cat]

Boom!!!
