1 for 7 from 3 and losing the rebound battle by 3. Not a good recipe, especially when you have a size advantage.

AzCatFan2

Have to love Zu's answer about motivation in the post game. "I just wanted them to stop showing that shot."

AzCatFan2

Looking just like the game in Tucson. Missed FTs. Turnovers. And now, not securing defensive rebounds.

AzCatFan2

Fucking turnovers are killing us. Hold on to the fucking ball!

AzCatFan2

Out rebounding them by only 4. Need to do better controlling the boards and not turning the ball over. Like to see us go inside more again. Shot too many 3s late in the half.

Any news on the extend of Kerr's shoulder injury? He can still dribble and pass, but can he lift his arm up to shoot? Been looking for an updated report, but only see it was a contusion. While we always want to beat ASu, this game has a lot more meaning to them than to us. Win and ASu is off the bub...

Beavs vs. Scummies 11:30pm EST So is it win-and-in for ASU? "In" meaning the NCAA's? I'm not sure 1 win against a lowly OSU team in the Pac tournament will do it. Lunardi has them as the first four out right now. At least beating the Trojans if they survive to the quarters tonight I would think. Ge...

Or, we could go BIG12 now and find ourselves in no better situation than we are in now in five years. Now will the next five years be an improvement at all over the last ten. Take a look at the football ratings link. Show me BIG12 games with significantly better ratings that didn't involve Texas or ...

Anyone think Clemson and FSU have $120 million on hand to break their ACC contract? And this assumes the FSU lawyers are correct that $120 million is the number needed to break the contract. And doesn't include potential lengthy legal fees if the ACC decides to fight schools that wish to leave. And...

I agree the B1G will never take us. Especially since we're tied by ABOR to ASu, and ASu isn't an AAU school. The two AZ schools don't bring enough to the B1G to take both anyway. I also agree that if Oregon and UW go B1G, the PAC is dead, and we should immediately respond by going to the BIG12. But ...

I hear a lot about an absolutely guaranteed soft landing spot in the Big XII held in perpetuity for us, but there's nothing that requires that premise to be accepted. I'm sure there are plenty of scenarios where they add teams and get to a number and mix they're happy with and adding Arizona for ba...

AzCatFan2 are you still under the delusion that the SEC is just licking its chops to snatch up our powerhouse football program because I don’t know that I can take much more of this hysterical laughing. No. The SEC has stated they aren't expanding this round. Nor do they with too expand farther wes...

Go ahead and laugh. Trust me, I did. I’m very happy for you that you somehow found some justification for dying on that hill but all that article showed me was that controlling our own destiny now is far better than letting other schools dictate where our corpse ends up being buried in 5 years.

One bad trend in recent games is getting outscored in the 2nd half. Maybe it's the 7-man rotation and we're getting tired late? Maybe we need to give Vessaar and Bal some 1st half minutes to steal some minutes our top 7 can play harder in the 2nd half? Whatever the answer, the trend is disturbing.

AzCatFan2

USC has taller guards that posted Kerr up. Tyger isn't going to do that, but Kerr isn't really quick enough to be the primary defender on him. I expect that to be Ramey. Bailey could try and post up Kerr, and while Bailey has a huge upside, I don't see UCLA running its offense through the 4th or 5th...

AzCatFan2

Great O all day. But another questionable night on D, especially in the 2nd half. USC had too many rebounds, 2nd chance points, and open 3s. Can't be giving up 80 every game and expect to go that far in March.

AzCatFan2

We lack a killer instinct. Up 15, we should put SC away.

AzCatFan2

The B1G needs a new Commissioner. I doubt they expand without one. Why not? It’s the school presidents who sign off on the deals. They could easily tab five of them and their staffs to work it out. And not sure if the first act of a new B1G Commissioner would be expansion? Why not? What better way ...

The B1G needs a new Commissioner. I doubt they expand without one. And not sure if the first act of a new B1G Commissioner would be expansion? The B1G will want to expand more in the west, and it's when, not if. The question is, will the B1G be Oregon and UW's only option?

AzCatFan2

Oregon and Washington want no part of the BIG12. None. Why? Because they know, one way or another, bigger and better things are on their horizon. What that looks like is TBD, but it's likely one of three things, a B1G invite, a SEC invite, or an APAC. By the way, this dipshit from ACC country thinks...

No source other than message board chatter for other PAC schools. Which is why I have always referred to a longer GOR for BIG12 entrance as a rumor.

One more possibility. The ACC and the PAC merge to form the APAC. Probably won't happen this round, but talks are reportedly starting, and merge could potentially happen 4 or 5 years from now.

Guys, should the game even be that close, though? Are we the #7 team in the country playing our own court or not? You can make that argument. But ASu is a bubble team. We're not talking CAL.

Rumors were it would take over $100 million to get out of the ACC contract. Confirmed now with the FSU BOR meeting. FSU's Athletic Dept is healthy, making about $10 million in profit last year. But $120 million would likely require a loan. Doubt boosters could come up with that kind of coin. Anyone ...

The reason the ACC’s contract terms are unbreakable is because no school has tried to break them? Do you even believe your circular logic at this point or are you just saying anything and everything to not be seen as having been on the total wrong side of this issue?

I'm no lawyer either. But I do know that it will take a bunch of them to get ACC schools out of their contract. And with no guarantee of winning. One lawyer's opinion is just that, and isn't binding. I'd imagine ACC schools have had their lawyers look at the contract. So have SEC and B1G lawyers. An...

I've stated before, this is likely the last PAC contract ever. Let's get as much money as possible out of it.

:lol: Einstein (aka AzCatFan2) would rather AZ stay in the PAC12 for less money and no exposure (and sign a GOR for 5 years) than join the B12 for more money and more exposure for the same GOR period.

Fuck! Ballo should've missed the 2nd FT. Make them rebound the ball instead of letting them get momentum towards the bucket.

Lost this game on the defensive end. Played like shit and let them get hot

AzCatFan2

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

AzCatFan2

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