Obvious travel. Can we play Ristic and Zeus and have Anderson take a seat?

I dont question CSM much.....but why was Simon in the game????

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 8:00 pm

Hard to get too mad at Gabe when he kept us in it and didn't get a break since I don't know when.

qwertyus · Post by **qwertyus** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 8:00 pm

This team turns the ball over so goddamn much. Allen is wild, and PJC makes terrible passes.

was not a foul on Simon. absolute BS bail out call!!!

Yeah agreed. Kadeem gassed out early and PJC just isn't good enough to get big minutes.

Actually, I'm asking why we didn't see more of him sooner in place of PJC and Tolly...both of whom were horribly abused on the defensive end and put out very little on the offensive end

I thought he clearly hit the shooters arm.

Both awful. And Anderson gets tired after 1 quarter nowadays.

Chill out. he DID foul him. The replay was very clear on that

Beardown33 · Post by **Beardown33** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 8:03 pm

We had 3 more fouls than usc, but shot 17 fewer free throws.

It appears to me that Andersons ankle problems are chronic.........his vertical looked like 2mm in this game.

In the replay I watched, Simon went straight up. If anything, slight body contact. BS call!!!

IMO blaming the refs is a copout. Some games the ref lose for us. This was not one of them. Although I thought there was a travel that wasn't called. We missed key free throws. Had gaping holes in the defense at times. And we just lack a playmaker that we can go to in the clutch. I was waiting for York to take over this game and it just didn't happen.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 8:05 pm

A sweet 16 team at best. We are not good enough defensively. And we have rotation players who are showing they just aren't at an elite level,especially some seniors (not including Zeus). Disappointing.

I suggest you watch the replay in a few hours after your blood pressure has dropped. Simon was definitely NOT vertical and definitely hit him on the shooting arm. I certainly don't hold Simon responsible for the loss. Had he gotten more minutes in the past 10-12 games he might have played more under control today.

Refs weren't the reason Arizona lost. Dumb, slow defense was.

We drop out of the Top 20 now.

17 or 18

Agree 100%. Cats had every chance to put this away as a W, and didn't.

Last time UA lost both in LA they ended up a Sweet 16 team. We should be happy with that with this defense.

No it doesn't. Alford appears to be circling the wagons in LA and Cal is drawing a fence around the bay area. The same thing happened when Howland showed up at UCLA. Lute turned to recruiting foreigners (don't look now but thats what Miller is starting to do) and we ended up with Radenovic and Daniel Dillon. Millers going to have to successfully recalibrate his recruiting scheme to keep the UA in the upper echelons of College basketball.

Totally agree. We were seriously over-rated going into this road trip and were exposed. Miller has some serious holes in his lineup (PJC/Tolly) and another starter (Anderson) that appears to be having physical issues that are not getting better. I would like to see more Simon.

I was glad he came in when he did because everyone was gassed and he has the height, until he made that boneheaded foul. Like somebody else said though, if he had played more before this game maybe he would have went up vertically instead of making that very bad mistake.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sat Jan 09, 2016 8:20 pm

Seniors make that mistake too. I would rather have Simon out there with all his upside than PJC with no upside.
