Don't think we will see much of Pinder rest of the game. Or season for that matter.

Ayton taking over the game by asserting his will on the glass and in the paint. We need this every game from him.

Any GM considering Doncic over Ayton is a moron. Ayton is the clear-cut #1 to anyone org worth a damn.

Arizona was sleepwalking the last third of the half. Fans seemed asleep too.

Sexton has 6+ inches on PJC. Easy to pull up and shoot that 3.

PJC played a really good defensive half IMO. He just banked in a prayer

Disagree. Lots of good looks didn't go down. If they do in the 2nd half we will win by 8+

Does PJC guarding Sexton make sense to anyone? Isn't there a go-to lock down defender we have available to put on that guy?

Alkins was my guess too? Isn't he the best we've got to do that? Too new to the lineup this season?

Too many possessions ending with a missed jumper by Ayton. He's good but that's not the move he needs to make.

PJC, besides being the shortest player on the court, is also the worse guard defender. I have no clue why he was out there, a 3 was given.

Ayton played 19/20 minutes. Superman he is not, give him a blow. Play small ball.

And Alabama is making their shots despite decent defense. Hell, Sexton just made a 3 pointer falling away with a hand in his face banking it in off the backboard. Meanwhile, we've missed open looks all through the last 10 minutes. Not to mention uncharacteristically-poor FT's.

Crowd will get back into it, so as long as we start playing to our mean, we'll win this by 5-8 points. It'll be close, but we should beat this team.

Ayton’s shot went cold at the last part of the half....He will find it soon.

Also, anyone notice that Hall is playing really physical and it’s got a bit chippy between him and Dusan?

Yup. Can't lean on Superman that much. And when he gets it he should get closer and draw foul if possible.

Cats need to ratchet it back up. We need to keep driving to the hoop while it's still close. And make your damn FTs!

I really dislike Ristic and PJC on defense. They are about as close to 0 as you can get for seniors on a premier program.

That's fine, where is the lock down defender that should be sticking to that guy like flies on shit? I know he's a top guy. tough to see a UA team that has no lock down defender to put on the guy in the Miller era.
