Very big game if we want to dance

ug. don maclean.

Too late for a Wednesday tip. That game won't end until nearly 11 on the coast.

Actually one of my favorites. Really hated him as a player, but as an announcer he is very supportive of Arizona and quite knowledgeable about the game.

Some ESPN announcers are so anti-Arizona it really shows in their broadcast. Never hear that from MacLean, even though I am sure his hatred of Arizona as a player equals our hate for him.

I agree. For anyone bothered by the bolded part, I recommend watching his extend interview of Lute, which re-airs from time to time on the much-admired PAC-12 Network. His attitude toward Lute and Arizona is a lot like that of USC players toward Wooden and UCLA back in the really old days: He has an old rapport with Lute as a positive figure during his time as a Bruin, and his respect and admiration for Arizona basketball date all the way back to then, even as every fiber in his being was devoted to beating Arizona (which is a genuine kind of hatred, even if it doesn't translate to wanting Arizona to lose to Stanford or even today's UCLA, etc.).

Only if it goes into triple OT

Line moving to AZ, up to -4

Gonna be 1 before this beast is over here. Larry Scott sucks. I guess the dishes will get done tonight, and some laundry.

Cormac Ryan back today.

Waking up in 8 hours to fly to Denver, so I guess I'm not watching any of this game

At least the Cal game won't be going long.

Thought I had to be up at 530 MST tomorrow but meeting was cancelled. The late start time is ridiculous. All for a crap network

Nice start.

Nice movement so far

Dumb fouls by Ira

I agree that a 9 tip off sucks, but if they are going to have two games, what should the start times be?

we're gonna have a few guys foul out at this rate

hate this tmieout

Their length is causing issues.......and Jeters 2nd foul was really stupid.

Chase HAS to stay in games for us to be competitive.

8 pm start is not that late. Not sure why it is such a big deal.

Start the first game at 6 so we can go at 8. 5 PT is a reasonable start time.

Its a 9pm start in Tucson........and thats the biological clock the UA is on.

smith looks pretty bad so far tonight

Foulathon

I know but the local time should be what matters when scheduling a game IMO. It's not like 9pm is really that late.

Good Lord it'll be scrubs vs. scrubs to end the game at this rate.

And Akot

Holy whistle batman

And the camera angle on that shot ... it was hard to watch.

3v3 walk-ons only for the last 10 minutes of the game?

Refs taking over... must be Pac 12 season

I guess all of the fouls are to be expected. Although, are there any good PAC12 refs?

oh look, another foul on us.

refs really giving it to us

There are just no.leaders on this team. The best AZ teams had strong on court leaders. Too many soft non vocal guys

Luther with 2 now too.

for fucks sake

3 on Luther now.

that guy's heels were on the circle too.

what a joke these refs are.

Wtf Luther? Shoot the fucking ball

He was in the arc!!

Well, Jason. It is a PAC-12 crew.

Awful, disjointed, painful, excruciating. And yet we are on pace for 40 first half points.

Does the Pac-12 reffing culture truly enjoy games that look like this? smfh

I think part of that is that both our seniors are also first year guys.
