Wow we pulled it out. Way to prove me wrong Cats!

The Cats got lucky. They didn't play a really good game overall.

There were parts of that game where there was some significant mental weakness/lapses

BUT there were also some parts of that game where they showed some significant mental strength. And those were very good to see.

Nice job down the stretch to pull it out. Way to shut down Reid in the last 10 mins.

ha not at all. Furd just isn't that good. Still a road win and furd was confident/rolling. Think we'll all take the W, but damn those huge droughts are brutal.

Didn't play well for the majority of the game but did enough to win on the road. Now coming home to avenge the Buffs loss.

Looked like a world beater for the first 8 or so minutes before the bench came in

Arizona just came back and won on the road against the team that would be alone in first place. Full stop.

Ristic might argue. Stepped up big time tonight and is the MVP tonight. Great job closing the game by the whole team.

small ball is not having two bigs, and since Ayton was in foul trouble we played less with two bigs in the 2nd. But specifically, the stretch run (last 5-6 minutes) I think we played Rawle at the 4 almost that whole time.

I know CSM has his set rotations, but bringing in Smith, Pinder and Randolph, leaving in Ristic and PJC really upset the flow of the game.

Was the worst officiated game since the last PAC game.

I am screaming into the void, but PAC officiating is by far the worst in the nation.

And intentionally so. Every crew calls concepts, not contact.

Last freaking conference to whistle hand-checking, and most of the crews don't even get that right.

They just end up protecting piss-poor teams through enforced parity.

After rewatching ... god did we get lucky. Our 11-0 run to tie came with either 3-3 or 3-4 3s and a busted play deflection to Dusan for an unkempt score while Stanford missed 2 or 3 shots at the rim not due to our good defense.

Props to PJC for the late steals, but the last dagger was risky and wasn't due to good position defense. And then, on the play where Ayton fouled out preventing an and one on a drive to the rim, PJC totally buggered the perimeter switch. Sigh.
