Bearcats and Wildcats giving each other a game. At Arizona

Bearcats and Wildcats giving each other a game. At Arizona

It's early. Arizona by 15.

 

[NJHusky]

I understand conference realignment has been talked to death and there's a whole board for it, but none of it makes sense. They make exceptions all the time when it suits some purpose.

U. of Denver being a member of the Big East for lacrosse is my favorite example

I think Stanford and Cal being in the ATLANTIC coast conf is even more absurd

 

[UCFan1513]

beating top 2 teams at home is so easy, everyone should just do this lmao

Certainly appears a lot easier than beating Eastern Michigan at home

Gilbert Arenas son making his debut tonight, he's been sidelined recovering from a torn meniscus repair

 

[RuffRuff]

Arizona is legit - neutral court right now, they are better than us. They are just tough, throttle it up for a majority of the game.

 

[Waquoit]

the hype on metrics darling Vanderbilt has gone up in smoke

If the metrics were a true predictor of how good a team is, how the hell did Vanderbilt lose three in a row getting their ass kicked twice? I’m thinking because the metrics aren’t a true predictor of anything.

The metrics are primarily bs. Vandy was always gonna flame out in league play.

Arizona wins 77-51. I was only off by 11. 😀

They were lucky when they caught us and Florida, the losses will start coming in February.

This guy was my favorite pure 2G prospect wise in this class. Excited to see him play.

Knew you'd be the first one to jump on this. You took the bait - almost too easy. It's almost as if you don't like calling another team good. It's an impossibility.

Try doing this - watch them. They're really good. They out-tough teams, and play at a high level. What they do is consistent. They don't rely on threes.Theoretical prognostications don't do much for me. Give me the why.

I'll catch the 2nd half before it's time to snooze

Arenas is tough

The losses will come in February.

As will ours, in all likelihood. Doesn't make them a lesser team if they lose on the road to Houston & ISU.

 

[Mr. French]

SC losing at halftime to Northwestern ... but the main story is they are 6/17 from the FT line. Sheeeesh that's bad.

 

[bendm]

Dailyn Swain would probably be challenging for BE POY if Miller had stayed at Xavier. He's the type of player I thought Stew was gonna develop into.

Who’s the front runner, Demary? ejiofor?

 

[gsmooth]

Who’s the front runner, Demary? ejiofor?

Probably Ejiofor because not only is he playing great, but he was the Preseason BEPOY and I think that will factor into determining the BEPOY at the end.

If Demary keeps playing like he has the last few games, I won't care who wins the BEPOY. As far as I am concerned Demary is the reason the Huskies won and grinded their way to some difficult wins.

Wow, Michigan is going to hear about this disloyalty...

We know you think everybody is better than us and we don't have a chance to beat anybody. Matter of fact why don't we just shut the rest of the season down because it's hopeless.

Here comes the posts where he gets defensive and tells us how he knows more than all if us. Rinse and repeat..

 

[noelle]

toughness teams tend to do worse in the tourney. az just doesn't have the shooting

 

[BFieldHusky]

Cuse goes down again.

 

[RuffRuff]

No I tell you it’s ok if a team looks better than us now, and to stop putting head in the sand, he constructive conversationally.

Shooting matters but doesn’t matter that much - our 24 team didn’t shoot well that tourney (from 3). They won in all other facets of the game. AZ defends and owns the paint.
