Arizona update

Grand Canyon extends its D1 leading winning streak to 23 games in Riverside.

NAU takes care of business at Eastern Washington hitting 11 threes and all five starters in double figures. Unfortunately the Jacks gave up 77 points and it doesn't bode well for the upcoming tournament matchup with Montana State.

ASU blows an 11 point first half lead to trail BYU at the half. This will be their 20th loss of the season and 13th in a row.

And the kitties are preparing for their 6:00 p.m. tip off in Houston. I suspect Cunningham will manage to get 20 minutes on the floor against the Cougs.

Columbia snapped Princeton's long home court winning streak in a game that went down to the wire.

Appropriate that this upset benefits the Columbia of the West I'm of course referring to the kitties down in the dirty t

Hey @azfan Arizona St. just benefited from an absolute phantom foul to tie the game w/ 12 seconds left. Skinner flat out fell down all on her own, nearest BYU player was several feet away.

Looks like Arizona St. is gonna have to wait at least one more game to hit the 20 loss plateau. 9-0 run to start OT. BYU has fallen apart. How long can Coach Whiting keep her job? Keeps getting worse every year she's been there.

edit--14-2 in OT, BYU was atrocious. If I was a fan, I would definitely be starting up the "Fire Whiting" chants.

Ikr....... In spite of a determined effort to lose the game after amassing a first hal 11-point lead the refs must have decided enough is enough. We know Adair is extremely appreciative and will have to wait for the next game for that coveted 20th loss.

In another bizarre turn the Houston Cougars are leading the kitties by 11. After racing out to 11-2 lead the kitties have gone strangely silent and the Cougars are now on top 33-22.

Fashionistas may well be disappointed in coach Barnes relatively muted blue outfit.

Up to 7 active players for this one. Hughey has depth now

Did Houston just get a buzzer beating 3 to force OT?!

Come on coaches, how many times do we have to go over this? Up 3 you foul before they shoot, you can't lose.


edit--I guess it has to go to OT, because Cunningham hasn't fouled out yet; usually doesn't take anywhere close to 40 minutes to do that

What's with Portland? They get behind by double digits against everybody they play lately, regardless of how bad the opponent is. Keep coming back to pull out wins.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Arizona escapes by 2 in OT. Never needed to go to extra session if coaches would just adopt the "we aren't going to allow a tying 3 in the closing seconds" policy.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Exciting barnburner between Wyoming and Nevada. 45-42. That is a final score. Wyoming scored 28 points thru 3 quarters but exploded for 17 in the 4th for the stirring come from behind win.

Montana St. really put it on their rival Montana. 98-66 final, had them doubled up for a good chunk of the game. MSU set a program record with their 18th straight win.

Good day for the Land grants.... one of these days when I have nothing better to do Imma have to tabulate the Land Grants vs Flagships records in head to head matchups this season.
