Watch how the game is called. If they allow for the grabs, holds and muggings it could be close. ASU can be a 3 point nightmare but it come and goes so you can be behind and come back.

Likely the last time Robert Matthew Hurley will lead Tempe Normal into McKale...

... let's send him out with a few "runs-of-death"!!!!

BTFD!!!!

McKale has not been a bastion of favorable calls of late. I hope Tommy is on the refs in recognition of that.

let's go 'cats, beat the cryin hurleys!

CBS is showing the UCONN/St Johns game, and it is running late (of course). I don't know if they will show our game on another channel, but don't expect the game to be on tv at the start.

It’s a national game on CBS… I bet they push back the start

hopefully uconn pulls away and cbs split screens it

Can they use CBSsports network?

Just picked up YouTube TV and their 2-day trial. But it is $10 off for the first 3 months so the price is $55/month + tax. They have a lot of options. I know their service is top quality, but they don't get the Pac-12 Network (I hate the leadership of the Pac-12). I am ot able to watch the first few rounds of the Pac-12 tourney.

I think it will start on CBS Sports app - I’m on pregame show. there is a countdown to start displaying

daaaamn someone in the crowd is totally losing it over that st johns technical

That lady is going nuts and even the announcers are commenting on it. Lol

Gonna miss the entire first half at this rate

they just sent the uconn game to the cbs app. thank you, cbs!

CBS switching over now

Fuck St John’s for TO down 11 @ 58 seconds, and down 8 @ 28 seconds

Just let it go Johnnies!

That charge call on Ballo was absolute garbage.

If that was Kerr it would of been a no call or a flop. This conference hates us for some stupid reason

Larrson clanking 2 FTs can't be a good sign

great dime

What a fucking pass

K3RR

Kerr's pass was a thing of beauty

If Henderson’s 3 went down Hurley was gonna have to call timeout

We need to wear these guys out so these ridiculous 3s stop falling

FTs...

How ‘bout playing some damn defense???

Larsson should shoot more.

Open season on Ballo

ASU is shooting 3 pointers better than the UA is shooting free throws.

This is starting to look like an NBA all-star game - pathetic defense

Ced .... leading scorer

Salim would shoot 50% from the stripe tonight.

Maybe we should shoot our FTs from the 3-point line?

HENDERSON

Thank you Henderson

Dead-eye Ced!

Congratulations, ‘Cats!!! You’re hanging with ASSU!!

Both teams are shooting 59%. We can keep up the pace. Can they? We'll find out in the 2nd half.
