For some rough reffing, we've played a good first half. Now just don't fart it away in the last minute.

best half ever for PJC - Miller shoulda road him but instead pulled him and sat him too long and it still didn’t matter, he came back in and finished very strong.

if AZ gets PG play like that they are almost unbeatable

Do we HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO give him a breather in the second half?

you got me all wrong, I always stand up.

it’s obvious to see how good Arizona is with all the dynamic pieces it has if it gets excellent PG play.

Lute hardly gave Jason Gardner a rest. Think he averaged 38+ minutes a game.

So with these ASU Vs Colorado highlights airing at halftime, it's a good time to ask why ASU only moved down from #3 to #4 after their loss to UA, who likewise only moved up to #14? I guess we have too many losses (3) to move up much?

Defenses really need to glue a man to PJC on the perimeter. The problem is, they can't afford to, and he consistently makes them pay.

Definitely. Top teams are just this week starting to reach 3 losses. We've had them since Thanksgiving.

I don’t think so at all. 97 might not be a fan of PJC, but only because he wants Arizona to get over the hump

I hear you 97.. I totally understand your concerns about pg play but what choice do we have?

Just have to have faith in the little guy.

May have to change the channel for a bit and root for Colorado. They are now up 57-55 with seven minutes or so to go in the game.

Absolutely clear.
I've been critical of PJC, but if he plays well and we make a final four, I would kiss him on the lips.

This feels like a danger zone.

No reason whatsoever Ayton shouldn't touch the ball at least ONCE every possession

We just look sluggish right now. We have too many lapses and stretches when we lose our way.

Yep. The Cats started just going through the motions. And Utah is playing energized. Not good.

At least the Cats started picking it up.

3 point defense must be rigorous. As soon as you let up, this team will bomb you.
