Even humorless Dave Pasch finds Booby's sideline sideshow hilarious

What a joke Hurley is.

Dylan Smith shouldn't be playing much more tonight. He has wasted so many possessions.

Struggling with him too. Huge change in momentum.

PJC passed on a wide open 3.

If the refs allow us to be up by 6 at the half I'll be gobsmacked.

This is awful

PJC left his feet without knowing his next move. His previous foul was all jackass as well. This is how you get your team in trouble. Be a leader.

Akot needs to be first off the bench. Randolph and Smith have added nothing positive lately.

I assume a brick anytime rawle shoots now...or some f up on a fast break.

We have to let Rawle play through it........we don't have any other choice and we need him if we are going to go anywhere in March

He had a horrible game against ucla, a good game against sc and now he has regressed.

Alkins comes out with the BLACK HOLE GAME again. You know what that means.

Baffling.

Ayton and Ristic were on the floor together for that entire period. We are minus 10 points with them in together and plus 10 when one of them is in. Something needs to change there.

I see none of theconfidence and power that seemed to just drip off of him last year...

From up by 18....to up by 1 at the half. 39-38.

yikes

....

also, I find it hard to believe PJC will not foul out by 10 minutes left in the 2nd half.

ghostwhitehorse · Post by **ghostwhitehorse** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 7:55 pm

39-38 'Cats at the half. ..

TatetheGreat · Post by **TatetheGreat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 7:55 pm

I still like our chances. Heading into half 39-38

Smith's 3/4 court shot was his closest shot of the game.

WildHolcs · Post by **WildHolcs** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 7:58 pm

I know the injuries and everything that has happened to him suck...but if Rawle had progressed the way we all thought, we have a few less losses right now. He's killed us a few games. Just brutal getting nothing on O from him and he's playing garbage D also....but yes, there is no other option.

Miller loves stats, this can't be ignored. If the color guy working with Pasch says go at Ristic you know that it's no longer a secret.

Apropos the lobotomy remark: Hurley, lacking a brain, can nonetheless have an aneurysm. There's that.

DrWildcat · Post by **DrWildcat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 7:59 pm

Yes, lets replace Ristic with a garbage player who does nothing on either side. Good idea.

At this ratehe'll have to spend another year in college - pros won't even stiff at this level of performance....

Makes me wonder about a Junior year.

Rawle is totally getting reemed on twitter.

Not fair to blame this meltdown all on him. Like Miller says, the game goes how Ayton goes, not Alkins.

When Ristic and Ayton are in together our help defense goes to shit. We are just way too slow with two seven footers.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:02 pm

2nd 5 has 2 points. The bench sucks again.

Was is that long ago the UA 2nd team would start on several PAC teams? Guess so...

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:02 pm

Full story:

- 4 out of 5 Arizona's starters are awesome
- Alkins is back to going stupid and killing his team
- Nobody on Arizona's bench can play the game of basketball

Two thing I know:

1) Alkins has never yet recovered from a Black Hole first half. He's always followed a Black Hole first half with a Black Hole second half. That has to change tonight if Arizona is going to have a chance in the second half.

2) PJC need to somehow not pick up his fourth foul.

Both seem unlikely. Let's just hope.

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:03 pm

I just think Rawl needs to sit the next few games to rest and clear his head. Or at least cut playing amount down, he is two gears slower at this moment.

A few games ago Walton mentioned that rawle isn't practicing a lot due to the foot pain.
That could be why his shot is so up and down.

Also, Ira Lee needs to hammer people.
No easy lay ups.

Gilbertcat · Post by **Gilbertcat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:05 pm

Deep threes and some empty possessions killing em. Hopefully they force them inside and mix in some 3s while feeding ayton and avoiding foul trouble on Parker

I'm trying to imagine all the ways PJC doesn't pick up a fourth foul while trying to defend Holder. I can't come up with any.

krissyp · Post by **krissyp** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:06 pm

regarding the FBI chant

Took the words out of my mouth. Reminds me when they shouted "block that kick" when we went to the FT line for the first time after we lost that TC with the blocked kick.

Such dipshits
