This is going to be a tough one.

yeah I really think it's going to come down to our bench and the 2nd half foul issues.

If we get production from our bench and we stay out of 2nd half foul issues, I think we can squeak out the win.

If not, well, we probably fade at the end and lose by 10+.

The Cats favored by 1... didn’t see that line coming.

U of A favored by 1 heading to 1.5. Gotta pull this one out or it is a failure

Starting to crack a few here in rainy Hartford.

Section 117...will attempt to yell at ESPN crew today.

Bring it ECC! Looks like the sharps like UCONN as the line has reversed and in most places we are now a 1 point dog.

Ugh

Will do!

Hey Chi - I’m missing the Rams game today so I hope I classify as a good fan.

Anybody at City Steam Brewery come to the bar as I’m buying.
Just shout out ECC. Lol.
Friggin UCONN fans. Between Men’s and Women’s hoops they think they invented the damn game.

Line now UCONN -1.5.

We have really struggled with UCONN over the years. I think last year was our first win against them.

Of course we really won the Richie Ballisteros game. Most brutal goal tend call in the history of college hoops

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 9:42 am

Both teams have something to prove this year so I’m expecting a real battle.

Go Cats!

Still remember that game vividly. Loren Woods with that huge block. UCONN has always had our number. That's why I don't have a good feeling about this game.

Lol! As long as we don't play like clowns.

I just hope we get a fairly officiated game. Not only are we facing the usual regional/conference bias, but one has to wonder if any
of the officials are thinking in the back of their mind that Sean Miller is a cheater.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:01 am

those look like ASsU jersies

CatsbyAZ · Post by **CatsbyAZ** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:04 am

Got nothing going on today, so great to wake up to an AZ basketball game.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:08 am

Can't help but think that Jeter picked up taking the charge from his time under coach K

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:10 am

I like that Akot is trying to take it to the basket today.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:11 am

A lot of bunnies being missed by us. Just rattling in then out

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:18 am

We need to settle down. It feels like we're speeding things up way too much and making simple mistakes.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:18 am

This just in - Dylan Smith still sucks.

Why is it more acceptable here to denigrate Arizona players than other posters?

Seriously!

Luther with two buckets early!

UCONN fans here complaining about officiating. Lol

Minority opinion: I love these unis!

The problem with Smith is the delta between his skill and his willingness to deploy it.

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:23 am

That second team did way better than I feared.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:26 am

Good thing UConn can't hit the rim on 3 pointers, since Cobb is killing the Cats on his own

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:26 am

How is that a foul?

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:26 am

Ball don't lie

Need Jeter back in

was a great idea to start akot so we have someone good on offense coming off the bench

Damnit. Luther's 3 was halfway down

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:27 am

bs call

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:29 am

It would have been surprising if they hadn't retaken the lead. It's their home court after all.

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:32 am

Uconn is making some dumb shots

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:34 am

Backseat Becky sighting

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sun Dec 02, 2018 11:34 am

UConn sure getting some home cooking.

Doesn't the traveling teams bring their refs? Not that the PAC has ever done the UA any favors.

I might be in the minority here, not sure, but Chase is not good at drawing charges, regardless of how often he gets the call. It's a lot more than he should, and both of his attempts at drawing charges today have been awful

what a take, he might lead the country in charges but not good at taking charges

It's too bad this game is on against the NFL. Two very evenly matched teams.

Only 3 3 point attempts. . .
