This team deserves the hate they will get if they lose

Dude...WTF..why do we always suck in the Tourney!!!!

Lol, we are playing like shit.

If Buffalo gets a 10 point lead on us.......we're screwd.

Every guard has a career game against us.

Horrible call. Bail out call.

They want it more

Hard work > talent

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:14 pm

Buffalo sticking it to us. Of course our team of mental midgets can barely respond

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:14 pm

the same ref who made the incorrect overrule on the out of bounds, just rang up the foul there.

Buffalo is hitting threes, driving the lane, and playing with determination. But we're only down five with 11:59 left. Time to BTFD.

The Ristic/Ayton combo is not working. They are too quick and getting too many open 3s, or just blow right past them.

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

Cats being outrebounded at 1-10 3 point shots.

UALoco · Post by **UALoco** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:15 pm

This is why I refuse to travel for the tourney..heartbreak city. Even if we win..this team is just not fun to watch in the NCAA's.

Might be asking too much, our team is weak as fuck.

I think pinder needs to come in for ristic. He was beast in the 1st half for a few minutes

Being on top of a dog do conference still makes you dog do.

Maybe Kentucky will have better luck on Saturday.

Because our guard line D has been shit since Nick Johnson left.

The fact that Buffalo is still beating this team to boards and off screens is the real embarrassment. Trier has been officially exposed--and for the last time, I hope.

This, yes..Pinder. At least he rebounds and gets the easy layups.

Being an Arizona basketball fan is just heaping helpings of pain.

Ristic is playing well. Our guards are the problem.

Yeah he can ignite the team with his physical play. There was a point when Rawle and Ayton were working down low to free up Ayton more. Not sure why we don't do that in this game. Rawle has a size advantage too.

DrWildcat · Post by **DrWildcat** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:17 pm

I just don't understand this team. Why does it feel like it just doesn't matter to them? This could be the last game of the season/your career. Play like it.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:17 pm

Those are some ugly game stats

zonagrad · Post by **zonagrad** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:17 pm

And suddenly the whistles come out and Buffalo is rewarded.

UALoco · Post by **UALoco** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:17 pm

Trier makes me want to scratch my eyeballs out.

For Ristic? Ristic has been hitting nothing but net.

We said the same last year

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:18 pm

How about some high low instead of having the guy stand in the corner and let his man stop the over the top pass? Or maybe set a screen for the corner so the defender has to actually guard him? Some weak side action while trying to throw it into the post would be great.

Lol at keeping Dusan and Ayton in for so long together.

AZMoon · Post by **AZMoon** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:18 pm

This is same we've played all year. It's just the PAC12 sucks and we are able to overcome with our talent that doesn't know how to play together.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:18 pm

lol stop jacking 3's

The discordance between his “stats” and how he looks when he plays is mind boggling.

Okay, we're in trouble......

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:18 pm

burning our next-to-last timeout with 11:21 left? lmfao

I think SM is scared to rip into them, doesn't want them to freeze up.... Fuck me with that sequence...

I said don't let them get a 10 point lead. We're done.

We could play zone when Ayton/Dusan are in but that would make too much sense.

RaisingArizona · Post by **RaisingArizona** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:19 pm

They are +27 on three point shots. Hard to overcome.
