Reminds me of Lute bringing Jason Terry off the bench.

But Lute generally had a better bench than Miller anyway.

It's a 1-and done era problem. I think Duke gave exactly zero minutes to their bench the 2nd half of a recent game lol.

Roxy Bernstein: "Make him play with a handicap in the second half."

Please stop baiting the refs to get involved.

True, when Lute had long time NBAers Sean Rooks and Jud Buechler on the bench as gumbies, then you have to realize that the game was a lot different then.

umm, I don't think the strategy to stop Ayton is put a 6'3'' guard on him lol

catgrad97 · Post by **catgrad97** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:12 pm

That last dunk by Ayton actually sounded nonchalant.

Never seen such a casual dunk.

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:13 pm

that's the pass I wish Ayton made, the quick pass to the other big after a double

Dusan with the dish, and then a couple plays later, Dusan with the block? well nicely done sir!

(not to mention nicely done Ayton, Trier, etc lol

I know it’s only Wazzu but I’ve got this feeling that we’re turning a corner here and really progressing...of course having Rawle back is HUGE! Seriously though....can’t wait to see us at UW.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:17 pm

BTW nobody this year has throttled Washington at home like this.

Lute's bench was often better than other teams starters.

Don't they play 100% zone? I think UW will be a close game.

Uh, did PJC run uncontested under the basket and do nothing? The hell? Just lay that in!

i imagine he thought someone would come over and swat him if he tried to shoot it.

Yes, and it's a Jim Boeheim matchup zone. (Huskies new HC Mike Hopkins played for him at Syracuse.)

Arizona has never done well against that.

Coach is from Syracuse. 22 years

It's really unfair to have a player like Ayton when playing teams like Washington St.

Yep. And that's why he's a liability against really good opponents. If he can't take an open lane and finish with a layup, then what? No excuse for him not going quick to the rim with a lay in.

Don't ya just know we'll come out cold and shoot in the high 40%, just to keep it interesting. And remember,this game isn't over yet, lol.

PJC scared of ghost defenders now? Nobody was within 3 steps of him... It looked like the easiest layup from a terrible defensive lapse, and he didn't make them pay..

Uc Davis won by double digits, furd by 9, 5 or less for the other losses

Trier should have gotten points for his tip in of his missed free throw. Lol

U.P. Zona Fan · Post by **U.P. Zona Fan** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:25 pm

And they beat saint Mary's, and SD st.

that wsu guy who got the flagrant for his foul on trier. guy needs to knwo when the game is out of hand. we were up 28, don't try to wreck trier.

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:27 pm

WSU basically plays pickup

poorly coached team

qwertyus · Post by **qwertyus** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:27 pm

Little thing, but IDK about that reach Trier...

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:27 pm

Can we bottle some of this and use it against UW?

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:27 pm

So only when we're up by 30 points will the refs concede that our opponents can actually foul our 7 footer.

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:28 pm

WSU is crumbling tonight. They look totally lost

Was actually going to point that out. Very dumb, unnecessary play and it's his third foul.

catgrad97 · Post by **catgrad97** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:30 pm

Barcello time?

RondaeShimmy · Post by **RondaeShimmy** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:31 pm

Free Barcello!

qwertyus · Post by **qwertyus** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:31 pm

Oooof, PJC airball. I kinda want a couple more shots out of him. Otherwise, just get Barcello some minutes. We gotta develop these frosh...

qwertyus · Post by **qwertyus** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:33 pm

LOL! PAC12 refs never change! Big bad Randolph with the ticky tack touch offensive foul. I assume a moving screen? AKA, he existed and a WSU guy touched him?

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:33 pm

PJC can't hit water from a boat. Time for Barcello.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:33 pm

I just think Barcello is done.

dusan's ball fake had the bench jumping, but he missed the finish

Really? I'm not sure but he better raise his game with the way Miler recruits.

catgrad97 · Post by **catgrad97** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:37 pm

Bench has already allowed Wazzu to cut 10 points off the lead.

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:37 pm

Franks is balling.

We should trade for him so he doesn't waste away on WSU.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 9:38 pm

Why do I feel like this will come down to the wire?

Lute would probably take the scrubs out now.

I'm actually looking forward next year to being a fan with lowered expectations, purely for my own emotional security.
