Utah @ #10 Arizona - 1/22/21

[nwhoopfan]

55-36 at the final media TO. Arizona forcing a bunch of turnovers, but then giving it back w/ dumb passes. Sloppy finish to a fairly ugly game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Pellington is 0-5 from the charity stripe. Now 15-0 FTA discrepancy. But UA is only 7-15.

Arizona continuing to give the ball away as fast as they can, Utah mounting a rally. 55-43.

Whoa, Utah shooting a FT on an and-1!

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona has 18 TOs...but Utah has 27! Holy cow, no wonder this game looks so ugly.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Chance to cut it to 8. Hit a 3, then an and-1 sandwiched between a McDonald layup.

Cats trying really hard to throw this away, but probably not enough time left. 1:33 to go. Utah now fouling intentionally.

 

[nwhoopfan]

58-51. McDonald going to the line to get to 2000 career points.

 

[nwhoopfan]

And she does it.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Aari w/ the mother of all flops, backfires, gets called for a block.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wait, I didn't realize Gylten made the shot. Another and-1, cut the lead to 6. 57 seconds left.

My goodness Arizona has been the last 4 or 5 minutes.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Finally started hitting FTs, got another steal at halfcourt and run out, game over. 66-54. Not pretty. Something just isn't quite right w/ UA. Definitely don't look like a Top 10 team.

 

[nwhoopfan]

McDonald w/ 20 (only 7-19 shooting), 14 for Yeaney, 11 for Reese.

11 for Martin and 10 for Becker.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona held at 18 TOs, Utah added a couple more to get to 29.

This is very likely going to get pre-empted by I believe the first volleyball match of the Pac 12 season. WSU is up 2-1 on Oregon, set 4 just starting. This could be over anywhere between the next 10-15 minutes, or an hour from now. All of the players are wearing masks. I wonder why volleyball is different than basketball?

I did see that Volleyball players are required to be masked throughout the games by the PAC 12. Also as you doubtless know it is a conference only schedule. We normally have season tix for Volleyball as well, although it has been a number of years since my wife was well enough to go and I never had the urge to go alone (unlike WBB). But we keep the tix because they are exactly where we like (and they are not expensive).
