God our shooting is awful right now.

 

[The Derski]

0-8 on threes

Refs are calling everything

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Again, need to feed kaleb down low in good positions...but we're not

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Lol Ive never heard of a team dropping in rankings DURING a game! Missed ballot my ass

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

We've had some bad calls against us. These refs are quick to blow the whistle every time someone drives the ball in.

 

[The Derski]

TJ not shooting well

 

[CatsTopPac]

I couldn't watch it, I had class. How did we look overall? Box scores don't look too bad other than Zeus fouling out, and our shooting % (FG and 3PT).

Real question. How the ef is ARIZONA dropping in the polls when we are wining?
I haven't seen any other teams (UK) doing any better than us.

Started out slow as usual and just slowly built a lead that eventually reached 20z our shooting really sucks.

Duke is kind of like Notre Dame football...they could move up the polls by like 5 spots just because there was a rumor Coach K made a free throw in his driveway the night before. That said, when you have Duke bias AND some actually decent victories (Mich State, Stanford)...I'm not as annoyed as usual to see them ahead at the moment.

Wisconsin is WAY more perplexing. Their big win over the Chattanooga Mocs must have impressed some people.

zeus came to play today, so did SJ. Let's make a nice little run to get up 7-10 at halftime

 

[GumbySquad]

Cats shooting 51%, holding K-ST to 40%... out-rebounding them 24-18 and have 4 blocks to Kansas St's 1.

... and yet they are only ahead by one basket. Not good.

 

[GumbySquad]

nvm... TJ with the 3, then the forced turnover... and Gabe with the trey, Cats up 9.

 

[GumbySquad]

2 point lead by Arizona. 2:08 left, KST has the ball.

... it has to be said. Arizona is not a very good team right now. They are an unbelievable collection of talent, with options all over the court...

...and, the bottom line is: They are not a good team. Period.

 

[GumbySquad]

I love McGenneral...

but... how the fuck, as a 5th year senior who has started at PG every year in college... can you miss the front end of a 1and1 under a minute left in the game, with a 2 point lead.

I mean... people miss FTs, it happens... but when you are the team leader, you HAVE to hit those types of shots. You just have to.
