Bear Down, Arizona fan...
... IMNSHO, may have been possible with first-round bye - Just seems impossible for this group to win four games in four days....
Especially with Mannion playing all 40 minutes v. UDub and having tired legs already the 2nd half of the season.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
I read ESPN has us playing Oklahoma in a possible 8/9 matchup. We all know how that ends. Oklahoma has owned us through the years in the NCAA tournament. They've eliminated us three times including our best team ever in 1988. Let's face reality; we're going to lose to Washington again tomorrow. I''ll bet it's not even that close. Mannion couldn't care less. He's in self preservation mode. Green as well. Anyone entertaining a run in the conference or NCAA tournaments is delusional. It ain't happening. Just glad the season is almost over. So disappointing.

I will be at my 5 yr old’s softball practice at game time. Hopefully I get home quickly enough to start at the beginning and skip through commercials and catch up before the end. Hard to not see spoilers. Bear Down!!!!

The first three words of your post told me all I needed to know.
Not much joy anywhere right now. Please baby Jesus deliver a ray of sunshine in an AZ win.

Which means we are going to lose since it feels like we're 0-1000 against the spread this season
You think that since we lost at home against UW just 4 and 1/2 days ago that they would be favored. That's how gambling changes the world... there is not sense to it a times.

Big 10 just moved to stop fans mid-tournament...no more starting tomorrow.
I plan on being in Vegas for the 1st round of the real thing...I wonder how to handicap empty gym games? Will upsets be down? Or will teams that play in front of bigger crowds be lost? And who will be on the CBS and affiliates Bleep Button?
If Pac 12 removes fans I'd not have any mics near Miller during the game.

Feel sorry for Beachcat and everyone else who flew in for tomorrow.

Now instead of an expansive arena, everyone will be crammed into the sports books watching the games. That makes it better though LOL

With the NBA suspended, will they even play any games tomorrow?

I’d watch from my hotel room. And order room service and weed delivery.

I think the difference is that a Jazz player tested positive. I bet if one player gets tested positive, the tourney is over. That seems reactive but I guess limiting the large crowds flattens the curve and that is what we are seeking
