Got the split- oh well
Tough road swing. Come home, let the dust settle and let's get the championship.
Re: Got the split- oh well
Oregon 17/18 from the line and 4 TO's.

ESPN promoting post game Arizona coverage. I hope Romar and UA tells ESPN to fuck off. On the air. But he's too classy.
I hope ESPN gets zero access the rest of the season. In fact, I would schedule interviews and then cancel at the last minute to screw with them.

Re: Got the split- oh well
Dylan Smith and PJC hurt us with the bad entry passes and turnovers. Smith thinks he's Lebron at times. Rawle with the bonehead tech but I'll give him a pass because I thought he had a ton of energy tonight.
Bottom line: Ayton needs touches. Find ways to get him the ball. Not getting it Lauri last year was our downfall. If we can't utilize Ayton we aren't going anywhere (assuming the NCAA doesn't shut us down either).
Thought the team came out angry tonight and I liked it. Most emotion I've seen all year. Let's keep that going.

Re: Got the split- oh well
Hard to get Ayton touches down the stretch without Trier in the game. Hard to keep Smith on the bench without Trier in the game. That right there, and not PJC, is the story behind the turnovers.
But the main reason Arizona lost was Oregon played a really good game start to finish.
Really, it was a hell of an effort in a very, very difficult building against a team the executed brilliantly.
If Arizona gets Trier back, we'll be fine.
Thanks, NCAA. And might I say you cleared some Duke and MSU players facing current questions very quickly.

Re: Got the split- oh well
We let a great opportunity slip away, but overall, I’m proud of how they played, especially PJC and DA. They showed tonight that the scandal hasn’t taken away their will to compete.

Re: Got the split- oh well
When was the last time we swept the Oregon trail on the road? Seems like we always have trouble with the second game of the Oregon trip especially if it is late in the season.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

Re: Got the split- oh well
Oregon did more last year than AZ has in a long time.... So they rush the court lol. Wow
Re: Got the split- oh well
Oregon won one more game last year than Arizona has under Miller. One. Game. And in their high water mark year, they still lost to us in the conference tourney title game after tying for the regular season crown.Gilbertcat wrote:Oregon did more last year than AZ has in a long time....

They rush the court because in their hearts they know which program is the big dog in the Pac 12. And that's why McKale fans don't rush the court.

Totally embarassing. Act like you've been there before.
You beat a team without it's coach, second best player, and one of the first guys off the bench.
In OT.

Re: Got the split- oh well
Trip report:
I love going to watch away cats games, one of the reasons is you meet really great people who are doing the same thing you are. I’m used to cal and furd, where we really turn out, but wow we all felt a definite us against the world feeling in Eugene in sat.
Rolled up the terminal for the connecting flight and there were about 10 fans in the bar getting started. Entered the play and it was a cacophony of bear downs and go cats. It’s a good thing that 30min puddle jumper didn’t serve beer cause we would’ve cleaned them out!
Eugene reminds me of a Pacific Northwest version of Tucson. Everything is really nice and centered around the university with residential zoning surrounding. Population wise Tucson is probably larger as a whole but the college town feel is definitely there.
Had one duck fan in the crew I was rolling with (met on plane) who offered to show us around. It was really cool. Before the game Oregon fan was lighthearted with gentle teasing, and overall very hospitable. Closer to game time the cats fans came out of the wood work and walking to the stadium was joyous with anticipation especially cause by now we knew ayton was good to go.
The stadium; wow, Nike didn’t spare anything building it. Like a Mini NBa stadium. Oregon fan got more hostile once in the stadium but largely was quiet the first half. It was about 90% Oregon fan to 10% Arizona. About ten minutes to go in the second when they took the lead things really popped off. As a crowd the basketball iq is now where near McKales as there reactions to things just seemed off.
So glad I got to watch ayton in person, man that guy is a beast. Hope we can hold it together and work on getting the ball to him cause he’ll take us places.
Overall glad I went, supper glad I could rep on a dark day in cats B.B. history.
Oh and one more thing, the burritos in Eugene sucked, whoever suggested burrito boy needs to have their taste buds checked. Lol.

Re: Got the split- oh well
Good stuff. Ive always had positive interactions w Oregon fans away from Tucson. Wish we could have gotten that W in Eugene, but still really proud of how the guys played with all that is going on. Think this team is going to be pissed and on a whole new level when (if..) Trier returns.
