You have to tip our cap to Alabama the way they are raining in 3s in the first half. And BYU couldn't hit the ocean from 3. I'm surprised BYU is within 10.

Arizona is so athletic and talented but they play with a low IQ. We make great plays, and it is fun to watch. But follow it up with head scratchers. This is who Arizona is as a team. If they could play smarter basketball they could be one of the best teams in the country.

I think of the 97 team ...

Creighton keeping up with Auburn

I always root for teams where I have no idea what state the university is in.

Creighton has a small campus in central Phoenix so last night one of the news was calling them the "third team from Arizona" in the tournament, and they weren't talking about ...

Texas Tech is playing a lot of iso ball. That is not a recipe for success unless you are Michael Jordan.

FreeSpiritCat

I am watching the game on Max. I didn't even know they were streaming TNT, TBS, and TruTV until yesterday.

I picked almost all the teams who play SEC schools.

I see a new identity for Arizona. We are a tough team. Not so much finesse anymore.

FreeSpiritCat

The Auburn/Tennessee is a fantastic game. It's coming down to the wire.

FreeSpiritCat

No overtime?

FreeSpiritCat

The hockey game going into overtime. Probably.

FreeSpiritCat

It is probably on ESPN News which I don't have. That requires the sports package on Sling. I only have Sling Orange. It was $99 for 3 months and I get to watch almost all the games, but with limitations. I had to buy ESPN+.

Which is terrible if you have to record the game. I have to watch the game on ESPN watch.

Watching Houston at home got me thinking about these Big XII arenas and the capacities and some history and I found this ranking of the arenas. I think Okie St is way to high and certainly not above McKale

That's funny. Firefox is the only browser on my pc where I can see videos. My iPad and iPhone have no problems.

I'd rep you for that statement if I could.

I can't rep on any of my browsers or devices, even after clearing cookies and cache. It won't work on the new browser I just downloaded (Librewolf).

Just for shits and grins, looked into moving to BC since it has a much nicer climate than other areas in Canada, and is close to the US.

However, it is extremely difficult for a retiree to get in for an extended period. There is no retirement visa. Canada only wants working people, or family ...

FreeSpiritCat

I am in the process of acquiring my passport. I will let you know how it goes.

I posted on a Canada forum telling my thoughts. I receivedover 2.4k reactions and over 300 responses. On Facebook it is from "Meanwhile in Canada". Not many bad responses or trolls. It appears I would be welcome there ...

I am going to try and back away from the news. I talked with my boss at work and she says I'm being negative, that things like this will always happen.

I don't agree with her that what is happening is normal. She doesn't understand what is happening now. However, she did make one point that I do ...

FreeSpiritCat

Finally!

FreeSpiritCat

13-0 run at the half. The Cats look lost and have no idea what to do.

FreeSpiritCat

I am glad we aren't on national television.

FreeSpiritCat

That is the first real run of the game.

FreeSpiritCat

They should not have reviewed the goaltend. Bad officiationg. I take it back that officiating in the Big 12 as better than the Pac-12.

FreeSpiritCat

Gotta keep driving to rack, good things happen when we do!

Right now that is what is working for the Cats. CB needs to stop taking 3s, maybe post up more. At least get to a point where he can rebound.

Damn!!! We're gonna make so many threes in the second half!!!

I which it worked like ...

The Cats haven't played good basketball yet.

KSU is as bad as UA on 3s

FreeSpiritCat

Weak passing and getting the balled stripped. Kansas has a good defense and Arizona is not in sync in running their offense. I see a lack of confidence.

FreeSpiritCat

It just started.

When I listened to America the Beautiful, I found it sad. That is because it has little meaning right now. The National Anthem doesn't mean that much eather. The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

FreeSpiritCat

That's a shame

FreeSpiritCat

I just watched the game. And I read the thread. I understand the heat of the moment but fans here are too hard on this team. I see toughness, even when we were struggling. I like the team. The first 6 are great. But ADO and Townsend leave a lot to be desired. ADO can be an asset if he hits his shots ...

Texas Tech is going to be hard to beat next weekend. The Cats still have some very big games coming. And BYU won't be easy either. The Big 12 is entertainment. It's been a long time I've enjoyed basketball this much, especially when you consider the officiating is better.

Big 12 rocks.

FreeSpiritCat

What is a shame is that ASU played their hearts out. The players deserve more than this. I respect their effort, but as usual, the ASU infection takes its toll.

FreeSpiritCat

That is one of the most classless moves I've seen from ASU, and that says a lot. It wasn't Arizona's fault what happened in the game. But what can you expect from the scummies? They always strive for new lows.

FreeSpiritCat

Great look by Love. He saw the mismatch.

FreeSpiritCat

This is a great game. Wow! The scummies are giving it all they have.

FreeSpiritCat

How about Carter Bryant? He is becoming the best player on the team. Just play smarter and stay out of foul trouble.

FreeSpiritCat

This is becoming a really good basketball game. Fun

FreeSpiritCat

Way to stir the pot. Perfect time.

FreeSpiritCat

Low IQ basketball to start the second half.

I expect that to change.

And Carter was hampered by 2 quick foul call - hope he lights up in 2nd

Henri got 2 quick fouls too. He is great in the paint.

FreeSpiritCat

As bad as the Cats have played we are still up by one at the half. It isn't all bad. We are tough on D. The Cats are a little out of sync. If shots were falling we would be up by double digits. I think the second half will be different. One thing I am not concerned about. The Cats are tough.

FreeSpiritCat

They are calling way too many fouls. Pac-12 style officiating.

FreeSpiritCat

The Cats have the energy, just not playing smart.

FreeSpiritCat

A lot of unforced errors.
