Results wouldn't have been back till Friday and AT wasn't cleared for Thursday.
1 hour after the game ended and I check in on ESPN and SI pages...Only mention of the game is how UClA is back among the best in the game. WTF? Even if you don't mention Arizona, the #3 team in the country just lost and they have UK all over the front page. WhatevaaaLonghorned wrote:After that convincing win at Pauley, ESPN be like:

I think he's saying Arizona can play better going forward. Zo for sure, he was a little rusty at first. Once he gets rolling, watch out.Merkin wrote:psiclist23 wrote:Great write-up by Matt Norlander CBS sports.

Yes it was, except for this part: Arizona didn't play its best game on Saturday.
What game was better?
That's how I looked at what he said as well, and I think he's right. We could have played even better than we did, and other teams should watch out if we do (especially in the tourney).EVCat wrote:We had a pretty big lull there in the 2nd half without scoring. We definitely have better games in us, which is what I think he was saying
We're always the biggest draw for every other team's home game season lolThat building doesn't always sell out, but get hated Arizona in there on a Saturday afternoon, both teams ranked and fighting for a league race? Yeah, it was terrific.
Fact is, Alford can't guard any of them. Big weakness.HiCat wrote:Merkin wrote:

I've given up on them. College basketball is so far down the priority list now. They're totally in the NBA's jock now. All they care about is March and who is coming out (no, not the closet).Longhorned wrote:After that convincing win at Pauley, ESPN be like:

It’s a process that had no history,” he said.
“I think the NCAA did the best they could. They were extremely fair. I think they really had the student-athlete welfare at the forefront of a lot of things. It might not have felt that way to the outside, but they were very communicative, very direct, vert cooperative, trying to hold to the standards that they need to hold these types of issues to.”
Miller also praised school officials, including president Ann Weaver Hart and athletic director Greg Byrne, who last week accepted the same position at Alabama.
“We couldn’t ask for more cooperation, and putting in incredible hours and time into this, just to make sure the process was done right and what’s fair is fair,” Miller said. “The outcome came, and I’m looking forward to not looking back.”

Though the main difference for me was I was expecting nothing vs Duke, glad to be in the building (a friend couldn't go so I flew (in my jeep) to Anaheim and crashed at a friend's apartment in downtown Orange), had front row upper deck between the midcourt line and three point line on our shooting side in the 2nd half (I was right in line with Jamelle's shot and the hoop from behind him vs UConn), and after being down big at the half, I still did not have any kind of anxiety or hope.

UCLA Saturday? First, I had a new TV delivered at noon. So I frantically hooked up cables, realized to get my sound system to work for Netflix from the TV I needed an optic line, and I was short one HDMI cable for the new Xbox One S I had on its way, so I had to bust down to Target and grab some cables, put the TV together, move my 12 year old Sony 720/60Hz projection paperweight out of the way (biggest mistake I ever made...not paying the $14 for them to haul it away for me.

Haha, I understand the feeling, it's happened to me so many times. But for some reason I never felt like we were gonna lose that game, at least not after about the first 10 minutes. It almost felt like the 13-14 team, where (pre Ashley injury) I just knew we couldn't lose. Nice to feel that way again.

They should retire that seat with a plaque in your name.
I RARELY feel this way, but the game felt so much like that Duke S16 game where Miller had the guys in the right mindset and they were there focused and ready to make a statement. I've watched enough AZ ball over the last 20 years to know that feeling on the rare occasion it happens. About halfway into the 1st half I had that feeling that we were not going to be stopped. This team has the nastiness in spades, and I think that was in full view on Saturday. You know it when you see it, its the only way to explain it.dcZONAfan wrote:Haha, I understand the feeling, it's happened to me so many times.

Wish I would have had that confidence, would have saved me aging 10 years. I wasn't confident until we got that stop with 1:49 left when we were up 8. I told my wife if we get a stop here we win. In the back of my mind though, was Bryce Alford fresh off of two ridiculous late made 3's (ignoring another being blocked), making 3 circus shots in a row to somehow send it in to overtime. That offensive rebound after Kadeem missed the layup with a boat load of time on the shot clock (?!?!?) and 1:32 left in the game was huge, and then obviously Lauri's and-one was the dagger that made u feel you could start celebrarting.dcZONAfan wrote: Haha, I understand the feeling, it's happened to me so many times.

This is a good point. He never pressed against UCLA and played a very mature game. He took what the defense gave him and didn't force it when it wasn't there.loomer wrote:Finally got a chance to catch the game on the Pac-12 Network last night. I really liked how Allonzo passed the ball. He consistently jumpstopped under control and was able to find Lauri and others for open shots. That's already a big improvement from last year, when he only had a total of 30 assists in 27 games last season. Love the rebounding numbers too. He still needs to quicken that jumpshot release, although at this level it probably won't matter all that much.

It's always an awesome thing to see other fans outside of AZ.
On a side note, I did get to watch the USC game at the ESPNzone in Downtown Disney. It always surprises me that I am basically in LA, and the game is on one solitary small television, with no sound and really nobody outside of me and my wife watching.
Traffic.
