"The Wildcats will miss their two key returning seniors, Oumar Ballo and Pelle Larsson, along with an expected frontcourt rotation player in freshman center Motiejas Krivas, during an exhibition game Friday against Lewis-Clark State because of minor injuries, Lloyd said Thursday."

Is this going to be the game thread or should we start a new one?

One nice thing about stream only is we get Brian Jeffries. I wish we could always have that option to listen to him as we watch.

!. Get the defensive rebound
2. Need better shot selection

So far, ain't noooobody as smooth and fast up with a shot around the rim as Zu was.

My wife said the same thing.

Those brats sure looked bummed.

With 3 guys not playing I still am surprised by all the names of the guys rotating through the game tonight. So many guys.

Maybe I'm thinking of Anderson. Either way, they've got Zeus' hands surgically attached.

I want FiliB to develop a full blown monster ego. He can be that guy.

Kylan, 3 of 4 from beyond the arc

I hope Fili B gets some good minutes this year.

I like him the closer he is to the basket. He can shoot from distance, but not to a level warranted by his efficiency.

Steals, FTs, assists, and layups. The rest of his game gives me the shpilkes.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Fri Oct 20, 2023 7:52 pm

Wow what a buzzer beater to end the half!

Boswell looks amazing. Easily the best player out there. Backups need some work, but it gives Tommy plenty to work on at least. Excited to see us at full strength.

We didn't even play well and we're up 57-38. I'll take it after how slow that start was.

I agree. Attack the rim, slash, and get to the FT line

Defense needs some work, probably miss Ballo

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Fri Oct 20, 2023 7:58 pm

Only ten free throws and all by Arizona.

Lloyd has to love that

We're just dunking at will. That's gotta be pissing off the Lewis-Clark coach.

I would give my certificate to someone else in that section so they can get 4. Not worth my time otherwise

That bad? Jack's were just a touch above canned dog food.
