Game Thread: Arizona @ UCLA

And another thing, Y'all weren't the no 1 team in the country last year when you were undefeated, right? I don't think you were ever above No. 3 undefeated.

That alone creates a confidence in not only the fans but the players.

And if the players feel it, why wouldn't you?

Oh no doubt. But it has nothing to do with being number 1, it's really just the eye test and the way this team plays as a team. Last year's team often did not

Rankings mean nothing next to an educated eye when watching games. Last year it was clear that they had big weaknesses, including a shoot-first "PG" who played sloppy at times and a lack of experience inside.

Besides, they didn't play the toughest pre-season schedule last season. This year they have and this year's team is much more complete, much fewer weaknesses.

I have always preached this
most important portions of a game are the last 2 min of the first half and the first 5 min of the second half

A) incredible grammar, I can tell you went to Syracuse.
B) We were a bad switch away from OT in a game where we had all the momentum against Ohio St. And we were better than Wichita St too.
C) everyone will see you are, not crap, but certainly not the #2 team in the country. It will take a while since the ACC is garbage this year, but fear not you will be exposed eventually. Hell, St Francis almost did it haha

LMAO. ok.

i guess being undefeated with some great wins and some very solid RPI wins. a couple of poll voters have us at #1 and everyone else at #2. but yeah ==> I guess we must rely on your judgement O' wise one

Miller tore into them at half
lets hope we rebound better and stop turning it over and we should be fine

[520GGATO]

Whoa! Paully is packed and rockin'.

 

[podsox]

how does this announcer put up with Walton? im shocked he hasn't told him to stfu yet

 

[GumbySquad]

HAHA, you gotta love the look of the dude's face who is broadcasting with Walton... looking right into the camera as if to say "Yeah, I hear what he is saying too guys, apologize to everyone watching"

Comparing last year to this year for the Cats is more than just a sense of calm due to an 'eye test' or an 'educated eye'. You two are a little pompous in this regard don't cha think?

Having such a superior defense, being top ranked in the country and another year under Sean Miller, beating teams like Duke at MSG and Michigan on the road all contribute to your 'sense of calm' over last year IMO.

If you can't admit to those being contributors than I guess we just disagree.

This game is much better to watch because I'm listening to Jeffries, just saying.
