Dammit. Had a chance.

Anyone running down Caleb Love is a total fucking moron and deserves to be banned. Fuck all the way off.

Crappy play
Need to set a screen, pass it once or twice, something other than a three over Jackmehoff.

Love is POG. What a scorer.

Cats really deserved to lose. They played like shit. Ballo had the least impressive double-double I have ever seen.

Ballo got 7 of those rebounds off of his own misses.

Ballo is just an average player without another big to help him in the paint. .

If Boswell turns into a ghost, we seem to lose. Simple as that.

Was that the play where Rice went left,Ballo waived his arm then backed up so the guy had an open J?

Our PG has gone into incognito mode and other teams have figured out how to beat us. Just let Love get his and shut down everyone else. I'm debating if Arizona even wins the lousy Pac 12 at this point. Anyway off for a nice steak dinner and then off to nail my neighbors wife again. Good night MoFo's.

40 Minute "Bird" scores for the WSU game:

23 Johnson
22 Love
15 Ballo
9 Larsson
8 Krivas
8 Lewis
8 Bradley
-16 Boswell

Any questions why we lost this game?

This.

I was not a fan of Love early in the season... too many turnovers and chucking too much. I've since come around and don't know where we'd be without him. Probably fringe Top 25.

How does this team miss the fact that we are physically and athletically better than everyone we play.

Tommy needs to harness his ‘87 Jimmy Johnson Miami Hurricanes and have the team show up in camo outfits.

ALL ELBOWS the rest of the season!

I still can’t see how Boz is on anyone’s draft list. Other than 3-4 games he has been average at best. And mostly well below average

Lloyd has mentioned Jaden Bradley - after this post game too - a few times positively, e.g. his +/-

Would he ever start him over Boswell?

I hope so. I think Boz might be a lot better coming off the bench, being a 3 point sharpshooter without the pressure of running the offense

At this point I think you have to shake up the starting lineup. I don’t care what KenPom says. Our offense and defense has looked liked garbage against Stanford and WSU. We are regressing! Teams are also turning Ballo into a pretty big liability. Every foul placed on him is a great play. If the refs don’t call a foul it’s an even better play.

If you want to include steals and blocks I think it was a 0-0-0-0-0 game.

I’m not sure we’ve ever seen an Arizona starter play 25 minutes and put up a line like that. And my guess is we never will again.

I wish I had some constructive criticism for him, but I don’t; I wouldn’t even know where to begin. He was just flat terrible.

I agree. He doesn’t have freakish length, like the NBA looks for today nor is he a superior athlete. I like him a lot, but he’s a 4 year player.

Club 25 trillion!
Not many of those.

Edit, 2 fouls and a turnover, so 25 trillion and 21

I don't feel the need to dump on any player on the team.

This was a good test of very physical play - few games will have as physical a half as yesterday's, especially the first half.

IMNSHO, Chinyelu's block/steal of Johnson's dunk attempt was one of the most amazing defensive plays I've ever seen, especially in CBB! WOW!!!

Where Boswell struggled, Lewis seems more suited to the physicality.

And, I believe that nothing whatsoever has changed in my assessment of this team, and its prospects. A very high level, very skilled and deep team, that, like every other team in the country, has vulnerabilities... I really have yet to see any team that should be confident of a six-game winning streak in the tourney - many optimistic, sure, but not one that should be "the favorite".

BTW, our '97 championship team, much moreso than this team, was fully capable to beating or losing to ANYONE (as they almost did twice to lesser opponents in that tourney). And, BTW, they beat KU, which was as much of a "lock" for the NC as just about any team since the mid-'80's
