It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:


Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
Pac 12 is airing the Sabatino Chen game if anyone wants to see the end of that one again.

VERY big game early in the year. Must win if we want to sniff the NCAA tourney.

Way to dunk it Koloko!

Battey is kicking our asses on the boards..........someone needs to block him out
Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
This is weird as hell to watch with no crowd.

Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
The Cats are playing fantastic on the offensive side of the floor. They are playing the best I've seen them play in a long time. Fun to watch. Defense and rebounding needs to pick it up, especially closing out on 3-point shooters.
Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
Guarding Battey would be nice as well.

Something's off. This isn't taking place in the Pac-12: nowhere near enough fouls.

Akinjo with the buzzer beater!

Nice 6-0 run to end the half

Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

This has been the most enjoyable game to watch in a long time. Really high level execution. Even plays that weren’t executed, you could see were well-conceived. Hope they can keep it up and clean up the rebounding.

Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
That is the most entertaining half of basketball I've seen this season. Maybe since the Illinois game last season. I love the speed and depth of the team. They are really good in transition basketball. We don't have superstars, just a lot of solid players.

Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
Perhaps establishing facility in an empty McKale will stand us in good stead. The game has to mean a lot to players outside of the positive feedback of our home crowd. Who knows, this weird year might be just what we need to begin a new team identity.

Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
I am really impressed the way the Cats are playing tonight. Ira Lee not shooting the three and driving the lane for a layup was exactly the right move. This team has high basketball IQ.

Good question... we seem to have lots of guys willing to make the right pass on this team. I haven’t seen anyone chucking bad shots tonightCatintheheat wrote: Mon Dec 28, 2020 8:55 pm What was the last Arizona team that can pass like this team can?

Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
I am wondering how often the Cats are going to wear teams out down the stretch, especially when Kriisa returns. We are very deep and should use that advantage.

Tubelis really needs to hit the weights. That is his biggest weakness. He gets manhandled on the boards. And he doesn't seem to feel comfortable yet in the college game.

Re: (M) Game 8, Arizona vs Colorado (2020-2021)
Mathurin, Tubelis, Lee, Terrell Brown, and soon Krissa off the bench. Wow. That is a full second team.
