Bear Down Wildcats

Biggest game of the year. Hope they shaved.

Creme the beavers?

Time to tinkle on the beaver. Cats roll by 15

Gee, Ward, don't you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?

Fuck those pussies. Arizona takes it to them.

please tell me the game isn't on P12 network. anyone know? I feel like if I remember correctly it's on FS1 but don't want to look it up

Yes, FS1, and Sean Elliott is the color commentator. Wonder if he will call Arizona "we" all the time like he does with the Spurs when he does San Antonio games?

NBA teams have "home team" broadcasters, this is not the case in CBB outside of radio. I doubt it.

Was this a needed loss? Heard that from many sources and posters after UNLV.

Is this a game where just everything sucked and you move on or are there bigger issues?

Go away turd

3 top ten teams lost today....was in the cards all along.

Ever time we play this nobody named the beavers we lose. Ughhhhh

Rebounding was off, defense was off, shooting was off, free throw shooting off...

Cats are not this bad but gotta improve quickly

UofA is football is a joke.

We can't consistently hit open shots

We don't have a go to shooter or go to scorer

SJ can't play defense consistently; either gets beat or gets a steal (or fouls)

We don't play well against zones

Our offense is sluggish, especially against zones

We can't exploit our height advantage (why go small - play our massive front line, have TJ penetrate and dish rather than settle for threes)

Played their game, against an inferior opponent, and lost

I'd have a stiff drink but I'm on call, so no solace tonight

Nah, that's just a really bad loss to a really bad team. They shot over 50 pct and it wasn't like they were chucking prayers. This team is not playing great basketball right now

This is probably the most concerning, it seems like the Cats never have seen a zone before. Just about every team from here on out and especially in the NCAA is going to play zone.

Arizona is not the only team that has had a bad night against a zone..... Learn sports

Take on any zone defense using Sean Miller's most successful zone offense plays and his Five Principles for beating zone defense

On paper we got killed in this game.

They shot 51% from the field, 46% from 3, and 77% FT

We shot 37.8% from the field, 24% from 3, 67% FT, and got outrebounded

5 TO's is good

Lost by 2...I think we win that game 9/10 times but a lot of things went right for them tonight. Can't let a team shoot that high of a % and can't shoot 24% from 3

Edit: Last possession was rough too

I have to wonder if the team got a little over confident after Oregon. Shots aren't always going to fall so easily, and the best starting 5 doesn't always mean a blowout in the first 5 minutes.

That was directed at machina lol

Think since the Cats beat Gonzaga they can still lose one more game assuming Gonzaga runs the table in their conference to get the one seed in the West and maybe three more to get the two seed in the west.

Now this loss sucked but it seems to have been a bad night all around given the solid performances since UNLV minus last night. Just means there is much less room for error to get in the West bracket and the Utah games are now much more important to impress voters and the selection committee.

Yikes. Embarrassing loss. I see future NBA big man Tarczewski had another stellar night: 23 minutes, 0 rebounds, 0 blocks, 4 points for the big 7 footer.
