(M) Game 28, Arizona at Colorado (2021-2022)

[Fishclamps]

How is that a fucking foul??

[ghostwhitehorse]

I had my trailer at an 8500 ft. camp once. It took two weeks before I could even sleep well. Elevation matters.

In my experience, a first game at elevation isn’t that hard for a conditioned athlete - but the second can be, especially if there is an active practice in between…

Kinda want the make a bunch of ESPN (and such like) chuckleheads run up and down Pikes Peak a few times. . .

[Alieberman]

Fishclamps- there must be something wrong with your stream…. This is not the Cats we are watching

[Merkin]

Refs or not, these Cats did not come to play.

[dmjcat]

Colorado wanted it more, plain & simple'

Mix that in with too many TO's and piss poor rebounding on the defensive end and its a toxic mixture.

The SC game becomes a must win if we want to stay on the 1 line going into the P12 tourney.

[Merkin]

What a destruction of the Cats.

[Fishclamps]

God this is depressing

[g32knights]

Looked like a heartless, gutless bunch tonight. A loss on Tuesday pretty much throws a 1 seed away.

[pc in NM]

This game is over. Pull the starters and start preparation for USC…

… fuck appearances

[Chicat]

Feels like this is on me.

I was too full of us.

[Siempre Verde]

Yep. We can blame the refs, the altitude, or whatever excuse you want, but the team was going through the motions tonight and that won’t cut it. Bad effort.

[KaibabKat]

An old fashioned butt thumpin'

Hope they remember how this feels for the next month or so.

[Merkin]

Mathurin completely gave up the 2nd half.

[FreeSpiritCat]

Throw this game out. The Cats didn't have the necessary energy, I believe because of the elevation. The game plan should have been to get the ball into the paint, with limited 3s.

[dovecanyoncat]

Can't wait to hear Tommy talk.

[Merkin]

Looked like a heartless, gutless bunch tonight. A loss on Tuesday pretty much throws a 1 seed away.

Exactly, no one cared. It's just like they were tired and wanted to go home.

[84Cat]

I hope we play them in the tourney and kick their butts

[dovecanyoncat]

Feels like this is on me.

I was too full of us.

Yeah, you're such an asshole. How could you?

[pc in NM]

CTL was asked about effect of elevation during news conference this week - said he didn’t believe in it at all….

[U.P. Zona Fan]

Oh my

I did a contract atop Mt. Lemmon. C'mon up there and run a clinic on fast breaks, Tommy. It'll knock your dick in the dirt.

[RaisingArizona]

That charge call was pure bullshit.

These refs have made terrible calls on both sides. Just awful. Sent a tape to the PAC office bad.

Yeah. I think most ref complaining is misunderstood. We're not complaining bc we think it affected the outcome of the game. We're complaining bc it is painful to have to watch incompetence. The NFL has become a prime example.

As for the game, Colorado kicked our asses. Time to move on.

It's pretty clear Tennessee put the blueprint out there. Turn it into a rugby scrum. If the refs allow it then we're beatable. I thought Oregon used this same script. Need to adjust bc the tournament is going to be physical.

Still like the team and our chances.

[Bordercat]

we had way too much fun dunking on Utah on Thursday and Lloyd needlessly rep the starters in the game way too long. Oh well this should be an eye opener for all. They just got their asses kicked but the refs didn't help. Fucking ASU riding on our coat tails never gets anybody's best shot.

you can be tired and play poorly, no matter how much you “care”!!!

I have no doubt that these guys realy “cared”, and feel like shit right now!

Bear Down Arizona!!!!

Totally disagree, 2-6 & 9 lost today

Shouldn't say that yet, Kansas has 40 sec to erase 10 points. And Gonzaga plays tonight

Fuck ASU

[dovecanyoncat]

Embrace the suck and move on.

[U.P. Zona Fan]

St Mary's up by 7

[pc in NM]

So, if the Zags loses, does that mean that since #1 thru #6 lost, so #7 (fucking Duke) will be #1???

and K will be COY, eh???

3-6 also lost to ranked opponents, or teams just outside the top 25. Cats got blown out by a bad unranked team.

[Captain Obvious]

Not at all surprised by this game. Firstly, I think this is an extremely good team and I love CTL. He's done an amazing job and deserves a lot of credit along with Sean Miller for leaving the cupboard full. However as much as I love this team I get the feeling they won't get far in the NCAA tournament. Turnovers and lack of tournament experience are two reasons. Also the lack of a true PG. Still IMHO we have the right type of players and talent to possibly make a deep run but as a U of A fan I've grown used to the March letdowns and I'm sort of expecting the same this year. We always seem to run into the East Tennessee States, Santa Clara's, and Buffaloes of the college basketball world. And ever since the Illinois loss in 05 It feels like we've been cursed. I want to see this team go as far as they can and I do believe they're a legitimate Final Four and even NC caliber team. Tonight was just an anomaly IMO and I believe we'll come back and win out the rest of the regular season. Beyond that is anyone's guess with U of A basketball. Just so unpredictable in tournament play historically. I really thought 2017 was one of our best teams ever only to be reminded why the NCAA tournament is so heartbreaking. The Murray State's of the college basketball world may remind us yet again this season. We shall see.

Hasn't that been the plan since November?

[Chicat]

Well, we got our bad loss out of the way.
