I would like to see us try something different.......like fronting Lurch (zedey)

That's a long time without a FG for UA.

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:25 pm

Everything has to go our way from here on out. We muffed our several moments within 4.

We need to start pressing after made buckets

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:27 pm

Fucking refs.

Fishclamps · Post by **Fishclamps** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:30 pm

Refs weren't great but we played almost no defense in the entire first half, this loss is on the team.

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:32 pm

Lotta fight in this team, it just wasn't consistently applied.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:33 pm

A lot of uninspired minutes for UA for long stretches for sure.

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:34 pm

Bam Bam gotta have consistent halves.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:35 pm

This long ass review is unnecessary. Just end the game already.

Fishclamps · Post by **Fishclamps** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:37 pm

I'm fine with this loss, as long as we see them come back with a vengeance against Bama.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:39 pm

So many huge defenses lapses

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:40 pm

Redoing 2000-2001 but with a different final result I hope.

Why do we always match up so poorly against Midwest BIG teams

Fishclamps · Post by **Fishclamps** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:41 pm

We were doing well in that 2-3 zone and then we went back to man? Not sure why.

We’ve seen them once.

We catch them on a neutral game with neutral whistle. They gone.

We literally blew out Wisconsin last week

Wish we would have kept the 2-3 zone - we had multiple chances to get it to a 1 possession game in that stretch just had some bad offensive sets and shots

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:44 pm

Our unusual defense.......camp out the center out in the paint, was a poor matchup for this team.

A more conventional defense, with the center (Ballo) playing on the screener and then hedging hard, would (IMO) given us a better chance to win.

Fire the coach.

TheCat · Post by **TheCat** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:46 pm

There were a couple of times late that we just couldn't put it in to close it to 2. Caleb played great today. A couple of guys did not have the game we needed to come out with a win. They also shot very well. There is no stopping Edny when he is within 10 ft.

Get ready for the next two. Like playing great teams.

Our defense can’t tell which Caucasian fellow they are guarding?

The only upside to this game is that I didn't pay for it...

Who puts a non conference lien this on conference tv?

cerec_cat · Post by **cerec_cat** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 4:56 pm

Believe me, I want Arizona to win all games, and get pissed when they lose. We didn’t get our ass kicked on a non neutral site. Long way to go till March. I wouldn’t trade our team/coaches for any one else, long time to go

gouacats · Post by **gouacats** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 5:12 pm

I wouldn't mind playing them again in the tourney.

AzCatFan2 · Post by **AzCatFan2** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 5:26 pm

Just have to tip your hat to Purdue today. They v are a great team that played at the top of their game today. Shot nearly 54% against us and win the rebounding battle. They deserved to win.

If we do meet then again, it's likely in the Final Four, in our backyard this year. Would be an epic rematch.

Can you name a team that would have beaten Purdue this afternoon in Indy?

If Purdue's guards shoot like they did in the first half and the last couple of minutes, I am not sure anyone can beat them.

We chose to limit Edey and did. We had multiple possessions where we just needed to make the big shot to get over the hump. We made enough shots to stay in it but not to win.

I thought it was a really good game.

The Cats played pretty well, Purdue just played better.

But Robbie Hummel can lick my taint.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 5:35 pm

Whoa Bam-bam! That +/- stat is crazy bad.

Purdue pretty much controlled the game throughout. Clearly the better team won. I had said our schedule up to this point wasn't as hard as people thought and I was proven right today. Two more good opponents before conference play begins. Hopefully Arizona gets challenged more than expected by Pac 12 teams. Otherwise I see another early flameout in the NCAA tournament. Heading to a better conference is exactly what Arizona needs. Anyway, congrats to the Boilermakers on a job well done. For the second time Purdue has defeated a #1 ranked Arizona team. That's annoying.

Even a broken watch is right twice a day.

LuteIsGod · Post by **LuteIsGod** » Sat Dec 16, 2023 7:00 pm

went to the game today

Fun atmosphere
Decent UofA turnout

We didn’t adjust to that high screen to free up the 3 point shooter in the first half

I think we should have attacked Edey in the first half to try to get him in foul trouble

The 3 turnovers in a row in the first half really changed the momentum in the first half in. Purdue’s favor

Too many pocket pass attempts to our bigs. Ballo had not developed the hands

Too many turnovers in general, especially in the first half

Love and Johnson played inspired ball today

Ballo is really going to need a move that gets him an easy bucket our two, come March

In fairness to Oumar and his hands, throwing bounce passes at his shoes when his back is turned is not the best way to feed the big guy! Ballo did just fine when the ball was put somewhere between him and the rack!
