ESPN once again picking against Arizona:

C.L. Brown wrote:No. 8 Arizona at No. 25 UCLA (Los Angeles), 9 p.m., ESPN2, Thursday: The last time UCLA started off 0-3 in league play was the 1981-82 season, when the Pac-12 was the Pac-10. The Bruins are on the verge of it after their conference-opening road trip ended with consecutive losses to Washington and Washington State. The Wildcats are working center Kaleb Tarczewski back into the lineup after missing eight games just in time for league play. Home cooking always makes things better.

Prediction: UCLA 72, Arizona 68.

Maybe "Home cooking always makes things better" means that Larry Scott has already met with the head of league officials to make sure "Home cooking always makes things better". After all, Scott feels that what's good for UCLA is good for the PAC.

hoping to see kaleb get the start on thursday. his ankle and conditioning looked pretty good during his first game back with not much of a dropoff from his pre-injury self. i love dusan, but am much more confident in a zeus + ryan matchup with welsh + parker, given ucla's rebounding and scoring from inside. need to set the tone and establish post presence early, and kaleb's our guy.

Coach Miller already said Zeus is coming off the bench for now.

Can't wait to see this game.....Bear Down Cats and beat UCLA!!!!

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Wed Jan 06, 2016 7:20 pm

Cats open as 2.5 point favorites. Over/under trending up at 150.5. I think we cover the 2.5

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 9:45 am

Sorta feel like UCLA's due for a win against us. Think it's been a few years since they beat us during the regular season.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 9:59 am

Money line down from AZ -150 to AZ -120. line to AZ-2.5

hell yeah!! i can't wait so see those goofballs.

i saw that walton pulled out pasch's holiday gifts from a garbage bag under the table during the oregon game last night -- a used grateful dead tshirt ("it's even been washed") and a jar of air from a couple of dead shows.

dude is the best.

also: it looks like there's still a bunch of tix available at pauley for tonight. didn't the ucla fans get all offended a couple of months ago when CSM poked fun at their attendance?

There is rain expected at game time. So rain + traffic + hard day at work/school + feeling a little under the weather + need to wash my hair leaves empty seats.

Best part about this statement is that it's been raining all day in Tucson...and the students arent in town but we would still be sold out and packed at a 6 pm tipoff.

dirtbags · Post by **dirtbags** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 4:59 pm

it's actually a gorgeous day in LA today with very little chance of rain in the forecast for this evening, but heavy winds and temps in the 50s are expected. oh no! better stay home!!

I'll make a hold prediction and say that this Louisville NC State game goes to OT.

At least ESPN has alternate channels unlike PAC-12, FS1 and so on.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 7:00 pm

Forgive me for saying this but I do think we are a tad over-rated. And every time Tony Parker sees Kaleb Tarczewski he magically transforms himself into Shaquille ONeal. Maybe I'm wrong and Dusan will get him in foul trouble before Tarc sees the floor.

Bear Down

UL's best FT shooter missed both, while their worst just made 2 before that?

Wasn't Damion Lee a UA target?
