If we're favored by double digits this weekend, I may have to finally break down and bet against AZ. These online sports books are BEGGING us to take their money.

Boswell and Ballo need to come off the bench
Re: (M) Game #19 Arizona at Oregon State (2023-2024)
And benching KJ and Bradly but keeping Boswell out there?! It's like Scheer said, there's no consequences for the starters.

You know they say, if the game is close enough for the refs to screw you over you weren't playing well enough in the first place

Laughable game. Get ready to get our shit pushed in in Eugene.
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?

Re: (M) Game #19 Arizona at Oregon State (2023-2024)
Lots of issues on this team right now. But the one thing the coaches can do is to change how we are defending the high ball screen.
We can either switch all screens (or hedge when Ballo is on the screener).
Continuing to do the same thing game after game when its not working is one definition of insanity.
If switching/hedging the screen doesn't work then it should highlight the fact that large immobile centers no longer have a place in this game.

Thank you Boswell for your grand total of 2 assists and 2 rebounds to go along with your 2 turnovers, masterclass of a game.

Honestly the D was pretty good most of the game. Tough shot at the end. We will probably be two games out of first after Saturday. We have lost some magic but we are playing hard. Bad loss.

You have to press there, like they had the previous possessions. Can’t let pope dribble up and shoot. Make him pass, make him go sir to side.

I don't think dunking a ball has ever been taught in practice in the history of basketball. Tomorrow should be the first.

I'm out of answers for this team. It's about to be February. They look like garbage.
Re: (M) Game #19 Arizona at Oregon State (2023-2024)
Can we free Murauskas while we are at it? He’s at least looked like he has a good 3 point stroke in the PT we’ve seen and we can’t seem to hit much of anything from outside
Re: (M) Game #19 Arizona at Oregon State (2023-2024)
We're a bunch of Charmin soft pussy cats out there. No business allowing teams to shoot 50%+. But just about every team we play does. Defense is about effort, toughness, and grit. Or as Miller would say, nastiness. The only thing nasty about this team is the stench of their play.
Re: (M) Game #19 Arizona at Oregon State (2023-2024)
Folks talking about how the NCAAs are all that matters could reflect on that.
Great lessons for this team

At this point it doesn't really matter because we have no inside game to speak of, so teams are just gonna hang around the perimeter and we're never get any good looks.

So just keep throwing him out there no matter how badly he plays. Great plan. Glad there's zero accountability.

Re: (M) Game #19 Arizona at Oregon State (2023-2024)
I have to admit while losing to OSU is embarrassing for a team like Arizona, they were making like really, really difficult shots. Step back, fall away rainbow 3's. Are you kidding me?
We didn't help matters with some stupid turnovers and getting out hustled for loose rebounds. We also can't hit water from outside on the road for some reason.
It happens on the road, but I'm more interested to see what team shows up in Eugene.

We need some big shakeups with lineup IMO - Boswell just isn't getting it done on defense/offense/anything and needs to get right somehow. Give time to Krivas/Borovicanin/Murauskas/Lewis etc. Bradley hasn't quite panned out how I'd hoped, was wishing he'd be able to step into PG shoes more, but he seems to struggle to get consistent shots/passes.

Re: (M) Game #19 Arizona at Oregon State (2023-2024)
I went through a lot of broken remotes even during the Lute years.
Last night was more "meh". UA played like shit, deserved to lose, and Jordan Pope had a very nice game and what a fantastic way to finish.
When Lloyd left Boswell out there the last 8 minutes or so of the game, with Ballo too most of it, I just knew the Cats were going to lose. Boswell wasn't going to shoot, and Ballo wasn't going to make many free throws.
