Lots of dog crap match ups among the 100+ teams playing today.

UA vs SDSU is the marquee game on today's slate.

I like how Georgetown matches up with Wisconsin. Should be a pretty good game.

enfuego · Post by **enfuego** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 1:34 pm

That's how you play against an unranked opponent (Rhode Island). Up by 18 at the half, instead of down at the half like Arizona. I think you all are missing Nick Johnson too much with this team to make too deep a run in the tourney this year.

Nice game against Kentucky.

I am surprised you can walk much less talk after Kentucky butt raped you

Well, if anyone knows what a team who is unlikely to make a deep run in the tourney looks like, it would be a Kansas fan.

Pretty weak effort by enflamo. Guess he couldn't find any special needs kids or injured Arizona players to make fun of today.

That's weak sauce.

I made a valid point. Nick Johnson made McConnell (sp?) look better than he actually is. You have no consistent shooters on the perimeter, hands of stone Tarczewski in the post (still looking for his first patented post move) and a stud post player in Ashley. Johnson and Jefferson are a load, but Arizona is going to have to figure out how to create offense off their defense and look to score in transition this year. I'd play zone against Arizona all day every day.

It has been so far. It will be interesting to see if they can keep up with them in the second half.

Kansas fans should really stop worrying about Arizona and focus more on how they have ZERO signed players for 2015.

You are talking smack on an Arizona message board on Thanksgiving.

Get a fucking life troll.

Now, tell us, how do you play against a ranked opponent?

Pounding his chest over RI. Is this what KU basketball has come to?

Arizona has faced zones in 5 of their 6 games. Still undefeated.

The funny thing was Kansas was only an 8 point favorite! I guess we know what Vegas thinks of Kansas this season.

KU knows how to roll. Lose to the mid majors in the tourney and be a marquee upset victim and get rolled by elite teams like Kentucky.

Then they whine when Miller beats them up on the recruiting trail and won't play us anymore. They prefer to watch us from the friendly confines of a military base hanger or on the deck of a carrier.

A true trifecta

I honestly thought GTown had them. Oh well...

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 3:43 pm

Yeah I thought Wisconsin was going down as well, but they really battled back to win. Maybe Oklahoma can take them down tomorrow.

3goggles · Post by **3goggles** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 3:47 pm

Wisconsin hold off GT and they are gritty and close team but we beat KSU and its they are doomed in the tourny and are overrated. Funny how that works!!!

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 3:49 pm

This UNC UCLA game coming up is like a throw-back to greatness game.

Would've been a marquee match up in the 80s.

cats101 · Post by **cats101** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 3:50 pm

Yeah even the headline yesterday was Arizona "eked" out a win over SDSU.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Thu Nov 27, 2014 4:00 pm

Blame Larry Scott. If the PAC TV contract was solely with ESPN the headline would have been, "Arizona Dominates Maui".

A 4 point win over K-State and a 2 point win over SDSU does not equal "domination."

The difference between how ESPN frames stories and reality are often quite different. That was my point.

To be fair, Kentucky would beat Arizona by 40.

Buffalo was more competition for Kentucky than Kansas

When you say things like this it makes me question your Kansas fandom. I mean, no real fan of such a storied program could know so little about basketball matchups and fundamentals.

I mentioned Arizona's weaknesses. Arizona is squeaking by non ranked teams. Kansas is blowing non-ranked teams out of the gym.

Way to rep the Pac12 UCLA.

Looks like kicking ass falls on UofA's shoulders again, as usual.

Today I learned that beating a #97 KenPom team by 10 and a #106 KenPom team by 16 is "blowing them out of the gym".

Arizona just beat a ranked team. Has Kansas had a result against a ranked team this year that was anything other than a prison rape?

In games against unranked teams Kansas has won by an average of 19 points while Arizona has won by an average of 16 points. If you think that means Kentucky would beat Arizona by 10 more points than they destroyed Kansas, you're so much dumber than I thought you were.

So, once again, we achieve something significant in the OOC and the other Pac teams mess themselves. If this tradition holds true, some fans here will later say the conference isn't that bad. Sorry, but November, December and March are the only months to prove that.

Another solid double digit win against a pesky Tennessee squad.

Unranked Arizona opponents -- should've won by more.

You've played one ranked opponent this year which was playing without its best player and almost lost.

That was it. But then again, Miller only gave 11 minutes to Arizona's best player: Gabe York.
