Bear Down Wildcats

My nephew is a grad student at Duke and he is sitting behind the basket on the side of Arizona.

He texted me saying there are many UofA fans there.

Which eye are you going to watch the game with???

Well, I'm one eyed Arizona, but I'll be using both eyes.

I am assured I'll be able to see out of the new eye immediately if not sooner. I expect I'll have a transparent protective cover of some sort, but not a pirate's patch. We'll see (I hope).

Trust me, the non-corrected eye will be such a drag, by comparison, you may want to cover it.

Maybe eventually but right now its worse than when I started, but I am sure it will take some settling in.

Aaaand - the game is not on ESPN in Aussie land, they've got ice hockey or arm wrestling or some such on instead.
Watch ESPN is broadcasting "your program is about to start" on every channel including channels that have been 'live' for hours.

I might just be in trouble here.

Refs already trying to keep it "fair"

1) Pound the offensive glass
2) Take care of the ball
3) Don’t get rattled

2 out of 3 ain’t bad! We withstood the turnovers by not allowing them second chance points and never getting rattled.

Love beating Duke!!!

You know rat face was thinking "This is why I stopped scheduling these guys."

Fucking Barstool!

They're already pissed ASU embarrassed them, and now they're mad we beat their precious Duke. Love it!

I think he’s a Duke fan, in which case that is a sweet self-own. I’d never say it’s no big deal to come into McKale and get a win like it’s any old arena and we’re just any old middling team.

Lol cry harder Marty

I usually don’t complaint about refs but the some of those first half calls were atrocious.

It did seem like they let more contact go in second half. Weird how the fouls were called in second half.

I saw a post about that. Arizona had the first 6 fouls of the 2nd half at the under 12 minute mark, with 3 players with 3 fouls. Don't think any UA player ended up with 4.

Duke didn't have a 2nd half foul until the under 12 minute mark, but Arizona ended up shooting 2 FTs as Duke was in the double bonus end of game.

Numbers or clock might be off, but the gist is correct.

Bear Down Arizona!!!!
"U of A!!!"
"U of A!!!"
"U of A!!!"
"U of A!!!"

This is exactly why TV (since they control college sports) should demand more marquee joke and home series. This neutral game crap is so lame. Sheyer is probably already thinking what did I do or now I know why rat face never did home and homes

WTF!!! Is Enfuego writing these scripts?

I’m planning on a victory tonite. And I think the coaches and players are too!!

BTFD!!!!

My favorite CTL quote from the post-game presser:

“My message to the guys was it’s real simple: play with poise. Then I said, ‘Why do you think I want you to play with poise?’ ‘Well, you’ll make good decisions; don’t panic; don’t let the crowd get to you.’

“I said ‘No. Play with poise because you’re the better team. Trust that you’re the better team over the course of 40 minutes.’ I knew that it would be a small margin but I feel like that. I love this group of guys and feel like we’re going to be as good a ball club as anybody in the country.”

"Post with Poise!! - pc in NM postgame "I told you so" quote

When I went out around halftime to grab some dinner, I was listening on SiriusXM Fox Sports, and they had the Learfield Sports feed from Tucson on. Ryan Hansen was the color commentator, but it wasn't Brian Jefferies, it was some other play-by-play guy.

Anyone know why Brian Jeffries wasn't on the call? I'm sure he would have loved to call that game.

Does anyone have the clip of the three Duke player slapping the floor, all at the same time….?

….right before we took over the game.

Couldn’t believe what I saw…. Lol

I’m in rewatch this am. Around what time in the second was that?

Wait, Boswell is only 18? How come none of us knew that?

I don’t remember. Maybe the last 5 minutes of the game.

I missed the floor slapping. Need that with the final score laid over the top in GIF form.

"They're a very good team but … I didn't think we played our best despite that," Scheyer said. "I think the biggest thing for me is we didn't play together. That's hard for me to swallow."

Love how effusive praising our win their coach was. Oh wait, he played for Rat Face so this explains it

Arizona did play together. So many extra passes down the stretch and absolutely ZERO hero ball.

We are a great team Jon Scheyer. When the committee puts you as the 2 seed in the region where we are the 1, you’ll find that out in the Elite 8.

That was a sweet win. All the sweeter because ratface was front and center to watch it.

I missed it too during the game

Arizona sitting at #1 in the Massey ratings this morning and favored to win every remaining game,

He’s in Colorado for football.

I caught the floor slapping live and chuckled to myself. Duke thought the game was over, but I knew our guys weren't done yet.

Anyone know what Pascoe asked Tommy in the post game? Sure annoyed Tommy

I want to know that too.

Classic “Columbo” response from CTL

SO there were many outstanding and critical plays in last nights game. I came up with 2 that I thought directly help either win the game or gave us confidence we were going to be fine when Duke made a run.
1. Kylan's step back 3 over the Duke all american when we were down 1 or 2 I think. The team just looked different after that shot and I think they kept that the whole game.
2. KJ's baseline score and one at the end of the game right after Duke had taken the lead and did the floor slam. We needed that and he sensed it. Probably one of the toughest shots in the game.

Posted on Facebook. Couldn't find a twitter link.

Not sure if anyone saw this…but Richard Jefferson and JJ Redick talked about the game during their broadcast when it was over. Love Richard!!!

It says the video isn't available anymore. Too bad, sounded hilarious.

Movie of the year.

The more I see this team, the more I believe they have all the right pieces for a long march run.
Shooting, passing, bigs, cutters, slashers, experience, defense, point guard, Coach, heart, chips, stay with it ness.

What am I missing el capitan oblivious?

The team is beset by a bunch of small dick bad fans.

A short video on Tommy Lloyd and Arizona's decision to switch Oumar Ballo onto Mark Mitchell instead of Kyle Filipowski during the second half of the game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

By making the change, Arizona was able to switch ball screens and keep Ballo in the paint to protect the rim.

Only bad thing about playing Duke is rooting for them to help our SOS. Feels dirty.

I’m an enormous Duke fan this year. I want everyone to still be talking about the balls we showed at Cameron four months from now.

I'm a UK fan for the night.
