My Christmas wish... Kriisa is cleared and the team is keeping under wraps until game. I can hope can’t I?

You can hope. You cannot get. You're a UofA fan. You're going to hell. Drink heavily.

I'll be here all day.

Wouldn’t that be a Krissatmas wish?

No offense to UTEP, but I'd like to embarrass them to help wash last night away. Hopefully Miller is telling his team to do that for Tucson.

UTEP's orange uniforms hurt my eyes.

Terry is not having a good game defensively early on.

Koloko is so frustrating

5 games in and I still can't accurately gauge this team..........primarily because we have played nothing but creampuffs

Current KenPom ranking:

Grambling St. 334
Eastern Wash. 136
NAU 329
Cal, St. Bak. 205
UTEP 199

UA 40

Not sure whats going to happen when we finally play somebody.

Very uneven first half, but I'll take the lead.

yup

Exactly. Feels like we should be up by a lot more. Some really bone headed mistakes like fouling a 3 pt shot twice

Team rebounding has been good: 25 to 13.

Bad start to the 2nd.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:11 pm

Fuck PAC-12 Network for reminding me about the 1987 game.

I was living in El Paso. Did that suck.

Have to give credit to UTEP. They are well coached and run their offensive sets very well.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:22 pm

i like what i'm seeing overall from akinjo

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:23 pm

well hello mathurin

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:23 pm

Nice move by Mathurin

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:24 pm

That was pathetic by Tubelis

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:32 pm

seems a lot of the time once guys get within 8 feet, they have tunnel vision of just trying to score no matter what, instead of passing to an open player.
wouldnt mind a little more passing either to cutting teammates or back out for open looks.

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:33 pm

utep refuses to get buried. keeps fighting right back into the game.
I like it

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:35 pm

I think the comentator might be right, sometimes akinjo is moving faster than the rest of the team seems ready for.

but that's a good problem to have

Maybe. . .prolly should have been solved by now, this team wise. For JA nba future. . . all the good.

I should have known it would be an ugly game. Verne Harris is one of the officials.

I think the rest of the team will catch up to the speed as the season goes along. At least that's my hope

the airballed free throw

All ball

Can't buy a 3

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:50 pm

Have we ever had a game where we never made a 3?

PieceOfMeat · Post by **PieceOfMeat** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:52 pm

way too sloppy in the last 5 minutes

Ted Robinson answered my question. 2009 was the last time.

69-61 Cats win

Gritty win. I'll take it.

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:56 pm

Poor game, still got the W. For a young team, neither one is bad.

We'll have better days, but I'm glad we got a test.

8 5+ rebounders is frankly awesome. (16 TO's . . not so much)
