I know I should want the Mincey Trollops to win if only for the sake of our conference, but I can't. I just can't.

Have 7 less turnovers than Gonzaga. 15 more shots taken with four less baskets made. The plays are there, just executing pretty awful.

Refs trying to keep it close. 9:07 left, and they just called the second foul on UCLA.

To be fair, if they wanted it to be close, the first half would have looked differently

Gonzaga 83 - UCLA 63. Makes my little heart go all pity-pat.

UCLA badly exposed. They’re good, but not #2 good. Solid top 10 team.

Ironic coming from the guy who has been dealt so many message board L's that he was reduced to stalking my posts and downvoting anything I wrote.

But forgive me if I just laugh at a guy whose become a meme on multiple Arizona boards because he's been unable to "take it like a man" for two decades. (We can ignore the lame boomer attempts at toxic masculinity and gay humor, that's a different topic for another day boomer).

Heh and have a good day RC97. Happy Thanksgiving!

Nothing sweeter than Bruin fans' tears in the morning.

I'll keep racking up the message board Ls (didn't know that was a thing) as long as you keep haunting message boards for teams you don't support.

It would have been better for Arizona if UCLA had won. Not sure there’s any denying that.
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?

Not sure why UA fans root for non-PAC teams over PAC teams (outside of ASU) since PAC teams winning benefits the conference as a whole. Teams split the post season monies 12 ways, after expenses which I believe is around 1 share.

Oregon not going to the CFP is going to cost the UA quite a bit of money.

Same with UCLA now getting a lower and harder seed in the NCAAs.

By the way, I knew Few was on the short side, but my god, Cronin makes him look like Holmgren.

Despite losing JJJ to a head injury early on, and still missing Cody Riley, they cruised to a solid win today vs Colorado. Probably aren't playing the second game this weekend due to COVID concerns.

About the flight. Pretty crazy stuff they experienced

Mick Cronin on flight: "I’ll just say, it was real. We had to land as fast as possible, so we were able to do that and we all know how fortunate we are."

Johnny Juzang on flight: "I thought about a way to maybe get some messages out, which is kind of crazy to think about, how I’d get the messages out, but luckily everything was fine."

Jaime Jaquez Jr. on flight: "We don’t know what’s going to happen, if we’re going to live or if we’re going to die, we’re just, you know what, at least we’re with our teammates and let’s crack some jokes, see what we can do and luckily we got down and we’re all good now."

One would think Micky Boy is just too damn pugnacious to yield to the virus. As always, I hope he recovers well enough to get his ass whooping from Tommy Boy who is anything but pugnacious.

It's a funny thing, Tommy said he even roots for ASU and hopes they do well .... while he kicks their ass. Here's hoping the virus is scared of Tommy.

Conference games have those rules, if it can't be made up. If it's completely cancelled, then it goes down as a loss.
