Game Thread: Dexel vs. AZ @MSG

[CatsTopPac]

ASU an Cal are looking pretty tough right now.. some big games in the next two/three weeks for those two teams, a real chance to prove themselves before conference play

True. Both have to play Creighton, but ASU also has to play Marquette. Those should be some real tests for them.

I wonder who will challenge CU for that #4 spot. Cal/Stanford/ASU?

That's a toss man IMO. I mean you have ASU who will be dependent on Jahii and the development of Bachynski and you know that Coach Montgomery will have Cal ready as well. Stanford has a solid front court that can rival any team in the Pac. Any one of these teams can creep into the top 4 and make some noise this year.

Good job CU!!!!!!!! Nice battling back!!!!!

Nice CU, Rep the Pac

Yep, and Stanford still has UConn and Michigan, so we'll get to see where all of them are here in the next month.

Nice Xavier

 

[CatsTopPac]

There's the crowd. Nice buckets by XJ.

CU running away on this run.

 

[Monte Carlo Wildcat]

Wow, Colorado has just exploded! 18-2 run!!! That's the CU team I expected to see.

 

[WildcatR.J.MacReady]

Place is really rockin now

 

[CatsTopPac]

Nice show of poise and resiliency. Wish the crowd would have helped them a little more there earlier.

 

[WildcatR.J.MacReady]

I think the Pac has 7 legit top 45 teams in the Conference.

1.Arizona

Top 15
2.Oregon

Top 20
3.UCLA

Top 25
4.Colorado

Top 30-45
5.California - can't go against Montgomery
6.Arizona St. - can't go against Jahii right now
7.Stanford - Can't go for Dawkins

This is how I'd put them too. Really looking to see how Stanford's frontcourt develops, and how ASU's bench comes along.

Yep, that's the mark of a crowd that has no tradition of success. They are there because CU is doing well, not because they've actually believed in them for years and years.

It's almost like you can see them thinking "I didn't sign up for this, I came because I thought we were going to win easily." This is college basketball, folks.

 

[WildcatR.J.MacReady]

Big shot by Rivard

 

[CatsTopPac]

CU is looking good against the press now. If they can beat it for another two possessions, game over.

 

[CatsTopPac]

That's game, good job CU. Go Pac!!!!

 

[WildcatR.J.MacReady]

Good non-conference win for the Pac. Colorado needed this one

 

[WildcatR.J.MacReady]

Has anyone noticed that the Cardinals are just destroying the Colts right now?

 

[CatsTopPac]

Not a NFL fan, but good for them, Colts are a good team this year.
