Hope this one goes triple overtime

Boy was I wrong about the triple overtime - it took place in Tempe rather than in Tucson. ASU ekes out a victory.

Arizona hosts UCLA: How to watch, what to expect

The Arizona Wildcats (16-3, 5-3) have made huge strides over the past two years, but there’s still some things that have eluded them. One of those things is defeating the UCLA Bruins (18-1, 7-1). "...

Interesting that UCLA has received no respect in this game. I voted for a U of A victory in the hope that the Cats can tire out the Bruins before their trip up I-10.

Arizona strikes first.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Hot start for the Cats. 17-6 midway thru Q1. McDonald is doing her thing.

 

[azfan]

I witnessed McDonald's speed last Friday. She is as fast as any guard.

Looks like she's in the zone, a la the Texas game

 

[nwhoopfan]

23-8 Arizona! Cats have only missed 1 shot. McDonald usually isn't a very good 3 point shooter but she's draining them so far.

 

[nwhoopfan]

A couple buckets for UCLA to close out Q1, now 27-16. McDonald has 14! O boards as usual is the key for UCLA.

 

[DefenseBB]

Good crowd again at McKale. Go Wildcats! 35-20

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona cooling off a bit but got an O board and another 3.

They are smaller, but much better w/ McBryde back and starting instead of Semaj Smith. Smith is a decent sub off the bench.

edit--38-22

 

[nwhoopfan]

UA 7-12 behind the arc, not usually their forte. McDonald hasn't scored in a while but now Sam Thomas has 13.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Corsaro is out for UCLA. Flu like symptoms, not injured thankfully.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dean is scoreless for UCLA. It's pretty much Onyenwere and Osborne or nothing for the Bruins.

McDonald up to 18 now. 44-26 UA.

 

[nwhoopfan]

47-32 at halftime.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UCLA pounding the O boards to start Q3 but not making any headway. 53-37.

edit--UCLA did cut it to 11 briefly but now it's up to 19

 

[nwhoopfan]

Okay refs, come on now. UCLA is the more physical team but all the whistles are going their way. Ref the game, not the scoreboard. I hate that.

 

[Shades]

What’s going on with UCLA? Even with Onyenwere, they can’t win.

Is there ever a time that the whistles don't favor the the team you're rooting against?

 

[nwhoopfan]

7407 in attendance. Arizona continuing to do a good job of supporting the team this year.

Are you watching the game? All the whistles are going UCLA's way. It's not like this is a nail biter, Cats are up 19. I just don't like seeing poorly officiated games.

I know Arizona is lead by McDonald and Reese but who wouldn't want Sam Thomas on their team?

Thomas and McBryde both, don't put up big numbers but do a lot of little things to help a team win.

Fouls are 18 to 15, and Arizona is probably the more physical of the teams.

Eh. I see what I see. Anyway it's just not UCLA's night, they can't hit any shots. Arizona up 70-48 thru Q3. UCLA may very well go 0-2 on this road trip and see their chances of a conference title seriously damaged (not that they were expected to, but they were tied for the lead and had a favorable conference schedule).

 

[nwhoopfan]

No blood no foul. How about when there is blood but no foul? Thomas has blood dripping out of her nose, she's probably done for the night. She has 20, big night for her.


Unintentional, but she caught a nasty elbow from Onyenwere.
