#7 Arizona @ Washington St - 1/10/21

[LETTERL]

WSU draws first blood in OT. First lead of the game for the Cougars.

 

[LETTERL]

And now a THREE!

 

[Plebe]

Arizona scored 7 in Q4! 20 in the 2nd half. Ugh.

You sound disappointed. You should be supporting the Northwest team.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aari has missed a pair of layups. Cougs up 5. What an epic collapse by Arizona. Say bye to the Top 10 for them and hello to the Top 25 for WSU.

Cougs are a great story and I should be getting behind them...but I just can't do it. Maybe if UW didn't suck so much I would feel more charitable.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McDonald has missed about 10 shots in a row.

67-62 1:20 left.

If so, Washington State will be the 158th team to be ranked in the AP poll since its inception in 1977.

Charitable? Your handle is nwhoopfan. Shouldn't be a charity case.

 

[nwhoopfan]

69-67, Arizona has a chance to tie or win w/ 15 seconds left. They really don't deserve this one.

I know how you feel. I just find it very difficult to root for UNC in any sporting endeavor if NC State is having an off year. Heck, I never root for UNC in anything. Period.

I don't have such animosity toward Duke...but I just cannot stomach those Blue Bellies over in Chapel Hill.

 

[nwhoopfan]

WSU fouled? WTH?!

 

[LETTERL]

Why do players foul away from the basket late in games instead of playing good defense in trying to prevent a shot? Is that what Ethridge wanted?

 

[nwhoopfan]

McDonald hit a pair of FTs, now up to 23 pts. Maybe not such a bad move by WSU, they have the ball now w/ 10.5 sec to go for the win. Tied at 69.

 

[Shades]

69-69 with 10.5 left
WSU with last possession. It’s their game to win.

 

[LETTERL]

THEY DID IT!!!! THEY DID IT!!!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Leger-Walker wins it at the buzzer.

Wow, Cougs are a hair away from being undefeated w/ 2 wins against Top 10 teams.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Cougs are in SECOND PLACE in the Pac 12. Anyone who predicted that is lying. They were picked 12th by the media.

 

[Plebe]

The Washington State Cougars! Say their name!

[DefenseBB]

do you mean the aussie Jaz Shelley at Oregon? She is a sophomore I believe.

Sorry, not Shelley, Parrish was who I have been tracking, thanks for the question.

Wait what? Especially because Udub stinks you should rally behind "the Cougs" as there is no conflict of interest! While it was my misunderstanding from the past 2 years of dialogues, I am a NW hoopfan so as @Plebe says-say it with me...C..O..U..G..A..R..S!

@LETTERL gets me. You guys can't make me like the Cougs!

To me the situations just aren't analogous at all. Washington State is way out in the sticks of eastern Washington and the Cougs are almost never good at anything. The power dynamic between NC State and UNC is something totally different.
