Not one competitive game yet. Larry is a genius for keeping these games off TV

The opposite, it is ONLY on the national feed, unless a team from your region is currently playing.

Does anyone in AZ with Cox get the P12 national feed?

It shows up on my channel guide as Channel 70 (SD) and 1070 (HD), but I do not receive it. I called Cox and Customer Service said I should receive it based on my package, but that it shows on their 'system' as Ch 334 (which does not even show up on my channel list).

They connected me to Technical support, who said they do not show either 70/1070 -OR- 334/1334 as channels - and do not reflect any P12 channel in their lineup other than P12AZ (75, 1075)... which I have always gotten.


I have been meaning to call about this before but have not remembered to do it during business hours until today.

WTF?

70 and 1070 are for Tucson COX customers only. It is a free weekend, like they do with HBO sometimes.

According to Wilner, COX does not offer the national feed in Arizona or Southern California, not even at a super-premium $10,000 a month tier.

I think COX realized they were going to catch a lot of flack in Tucson for Larry's mismanagement, and chose to give everyone (in Tucson) the National feed for a few days.

Phoenix, LA and San Diego PAC12 fans are out of luck.

Not for me in Phoenix. Was on 1070 for me.

hmmmm.... I cut the P12 after the football season ended, and everything I read today said it was just for Tucson.... but good to know Phoenix got piggy-backed on too if you pay for P12AZ

Fire up the MGM Food Court for Hurley's lonely post-loss meal.

Finally heard the first U of A chants of the night. Much louder than OSU or ASU.

Does Walton really believe or even know what he's talking about at times....'Bobby Hurley has a top 20 class coming in next year'......really? Or has Thon Maker already committed to ASSU??? Smh

PS. Those ASSU uniforms are absolutely horrible!!!

Called the Huntsman Center the second largest clear-span timber dome in America.

...or am I the only dork who knows that's wrong?

Great stat, if it is correct, ASU has won three games in the fifteen years since the PAC-12 Tournament was restored.

But those uniforms sure are pretty!!! Always fun watching ASSU lose

Glad it's the top 8 playing today... All teams have something real to play for. Should be a great tournement. Glad I'm done working early today

I was talking to a friend of mine that works security at the MGM and she said they don't allow scalping on the property but because they're so understaffed they don't have enough people to enforce it. So if you need tickets, go for it

yeah, pretty boring yesterday. the real tourney begins now. vivaaa!

ASU has won 5 NCAA tournament games in the last 35 years. We have won 6 in the last two years.

UW came to play

Lotta folks in red watching this Oregon / Washington game.

For a 1/8 at noon great game and good atmosphere

Huskies look done

If you are gonna scalp, be sure to be indiscreet. I almost got thrown out for selling a couple of tickets in the hallway.

You need to buy or sell your tickets in the hallway LEADING into the arena, not in the arena hallways

What kind of prices? Upper/lower?

go huskies go

Just woke up in time to see that last minute missed dunk by UW ... Too bad. Oh well, can't believe how close that game was.....hope we are ready for Rado!

Problem, game time is 230-430pst.

In work till 430pst.

No tv's... How can I watch this game?

The team basically executed the plan. GG

It wasn't pretty, but one down.

That entire 2nd half was an abortion.

I basically posted this in another thread, but this team has all of the maddening, complacent inconsistency of the 2004 club.

At least this team will last longer in its conference tourney, though nobody could honestly attest as to how long after tonight.

I doubt they will get by Oregon tomorrow. The Ducks are just better.

The Cats ceiling in the NCAA's is the second round imo. Love Miller and the Cats win or lose but they just don't have that "it" factor. In all honesty not many teams do. Only a special few.

Really elite teams will have no problem with this squad.

Exactly. Teams that go deep into March don't give up 20 points one half and then 58 the next.

Amazing that no one remembers what a great 1st half this entire team played.

Alieberman wrote:Amazing that no one remembers what a great 1st half this entire team played.

But we sure as hell remember the 2nd half. Funny how that works when your shitting your pants hoping you can hang on and beat a middle of the road team like Colorado.

Strange how that works.

Strange second half. So many odd bounces off shots that CU seemed to always get.

Also the refs just called a foul seemingly every time down the floor. CU is not pretty but man are they physical down low

Alieberman wrote:Amazing that no one remembers what a great 1st half this entire team played.

When we play a whole game, we're dangerous. When we play half a game, we can still beat a tourney level team, but probably no chance against a top 6 seed.

So, we could make the final four or lose in the first round.

CU remained tenacious, so props to Boyle for that.

But I remember going into half thinking that a Miller team would never lose such a lead and laughing at the absurdity of the thought of this team having to go to the final possession this game.

Yet that's exactly what happened. Definitely not a performance that inspires confidence.

Not a great finish. Coach Sean MIller:

“So, I guess if you're the coach, you can look at it this way: Hey, everything's fine. We're in the semifinals against Oregon. Awesome job. We advanced. A lot of teams would have loved to. Or you can really say our effort level is as bad as I've ever seen in the last 20 minutes. I choose to focus on the second one.”

- Pac12 Post game presser

lol...wow.

Way to go Sean. Nastiness is required.

The 2016 payback tournament continue tomorrow. If this team can't stay focused staring at Oregon across the court, then my expectations come next week will be tempered. I still have faith this team will finally click on all cylinders.

what time is the game

Was talking to some people around me that bought tickets from scalpers in the first few rows for the sessions today. The first session they paid $60 per ticket from ASU fans who thought they were going to win last night. The second session tonight they paid $250 a ticket for row 3.

i expect Arizona to play very well tomorrow night.

Miller's post-game addresses to his teams are like masterful orchestra conducting in a bear suit. They'll play very well tomorrow.

This tournament hasn't seen one upset of a seed yet. Let's hope that changes tomorrow.

Will never happen, but it should go back to the top 8 teams. You had eight ncaa tournament quality teams and four teama who just wanted to put a bullet in a gun and end their seasons

you know, the team has played 32 games and not in a single game have they played two even halves. This team got outscored by 13 points in the 2H to a RPI#30 Colorado team on basically our home floor MGM packed to the brim with Arizona fans plus alcohol. Not, good. (the 2H part I mean)

Miller blames "poor effort". He says that a lot so I'm starting to think these players just a bunch of lazy bums are they not?

So what's the way forward then, keep trying to squeeze more blood from the rock and demand MOAR EFFORT or demand that Ryan Anderson morph into Aaron Gordon on command?! nonsense. There is a physical limit to sustained defensive intensity, its science.

Here is a radical idea - when you finally find a mix of players that has it going on like in the first half (with Trier, Kadeem, York, Tarc, RA and some Comanche torching Colorado) why not consider a more energy-conserving defensive style and actually keep that lineup on the floor instead of subbing them out to cool off on the bench while PJC and Ristic come in at the pre-programmed 4-minute game segment? The other team certainly wouldn't have prepared for any defense than Pack Line, another advantage.

I know the answer is DWWD but I dream the impossible dream
