Agree. Might have been the best game he has played for Arizona. And with the way TCU kept coming back we needed just about all of it. Hoping these last 3 games from Love are a sign that he has turned the corner (his father told me at halftime that he told Caleb after the Bahamas that he needed to go back to being aggressive [or something like that]).

Re: Caleb Love
Like someone said in the in-game thread, no 3 point shot attempts until Love makes a basket at the rim.

Re: Caleb Love
We need more of last night’s Caleb. But at the very least a little more consistency.
He’s such a hot or cold player.

If we had a player named Hate would we start him? You know just to balance things out.

Re: Caleb Love
Looking up to see how well he does the following game where he made 40+% 3PT the prior game.EastCoastCat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2025 8:04 am We need more of last night’s Caleb. But at the very least a little more consistency.

Interesting to note this is is the first game all season where Love made 40% of his 3's outside of McKale.

Re: Caleb Love
I also saw he averages 1 more steal a game on the road which is weird. You’d think a player would be more aggressive at home.

Love won this game on offense and on defense today

Re: Caleb Love
Love's defense is great compared to last year. He would have been blamed rightfully so for losing that game but has the balls to keep shooting on a bad night. It wasn't the shot that sent it to OT but the 2 3's in OT that took guts. Could have just past it out and let someone else take the shot.

Re: Caleb Love
It was so frustrating watching him miss a million times, but all anyone could talk about after the game was how he's the best player ever.
Someone said this was the most Caleb Love game ever, and yeah that's 100% true. Enjoy your night young man.

Re: Caleb Love
A goat for the first 39:59, then THE GOAT when he made that shot then hit a couple more in OT.
I thought the Fran Frischilla baseball analogy was a good one. a .240 hitter who gets 35 homers a year but strikes out 200 times.
Caleb strikes out his first 3 times v. ISU, then in the bottom of the 9th inning hits a home run to tie it. Then tops it off with another couple dingers in extra innings.

Caleb on the game-tying shot:"best moment of my life"
A bit surprising for a guy who's won a NC, MVP, etc...
And, for all the part-time Caleb Haters around here: Fuck You!!!

The logic of a "shooter"!!Love noted that he always is going to have confidence in himself to keep shooting, whether he's "1-for-10 or 10-for-10 ... you got to have confidence in yourself that the next one's going in."

Re: Caleb Love
I don't think Caleb wants to remember that NC game.
Re: Caleb Love
Awaka on his reaction to Love’s shot: “I was ecstatic, jumping up and down, running on to the court. Just a credit to our team and how we work, and how we stuck with it throughout the whole game. Props to Caleb as well. He’s a guy that goes through a lot. There’s a lot of pressure on his back. He goes to a lot of things mentally, too, that people might not see behind closed doors. So just seeing how he rose to the occasion, seeing how he’s been dealing with ups and downs this season, he’s one of the hardest workers I know. So just to see that ball go in for him, and then show up during overtime as well. It was just a blessing to see.”

Not more so than Bradley, Awaka, or KJ but when you’re determined to be the told you so guy you say stuff like this.
Team defense was outstanding, Love included.

Context for how insane the shot was.

Re: Caleb Love
The fact that is wants to take every big shot there is says a lot about his make up. Most players shy away from that. The McCaleb shot will live on forever

Frye and RJ give their take on the shot. ESPN needs to let RJ do one of our games again.
