Game Thread: AZ @ Cal

Cuse stays unbeaten...

That was a great college game! I love this sport more than any other. Lets go Cats, you're up next BTFD!!

The Pac12 (other than Arizona... and maybe UCLA) is killing itself. Oregon, once a top-10 team, might not make the tourney. Colorado, a top-10, or top-15 team when healthy loses it's best player, now is also on it's way to maybe missing the tournament. Stanford, asu, Utah? all mediocre at best.

Now... Washington, who had been playing fairly well, other than their two losses to the Bay Area schools... they get beaten by lowly WSU tonight.

A very promising non-conference result is quickly turning into a bloodbath in league play. Some of these teams just need to learn how to win the games against lesser teams. It is embarrassing. There is no excuse for a team like UW to lose to the Cougars. None at all.

UCLA has been fine but I think CU makes it still
Cal will we will and UCLA also
Oregon is the serious concern right now
STAN/ASU could battle for another spot but Im thinking we get 5 in

 

[GumbySquad]

Yeah Nogi, I think we probably get 5, or maybe even 6 in as well. My only point is: Wouldn't it be nice if those 5 (or 6) teams separated themselves from the rest, instead of consistently losing to weaker teams?

The hallmark of the Pac12 the last few seasons: Everybody beats up everybody else. Me, I just want to see a season where the cream rises to the top. Would be a better league (both in perception and reality) if teams like Cal won games and got into the top-25 instead of going on three game losing streaks against teams that they should beat (usc and asu).

It's a "gold out"

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Arizona is the only team I could see actually making it past the Sweet 16 in the Pac12. Maybe UCLA if they get favorable matchups, but the reality is we have a deep conference with competitive teams that probably won't go far in the tourney.

 

[nogicat]

Im calling it
This will be the toughest environment we play in all season
Gonna be tough to win this one

[The Derski]

Sideline reporter.... would

 

[The Derski]

shit

 

[nogicat]

Really hope Ashley is ok

 

[GumbySquad]

These announcers are terrible. Sound like they should be doing HS games.

Would be better to have Walton.

 

[The Derski]

Some universities are trying way too hard with their court design.

 

[nogicat]

Defense needs to tighten up

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Really hope Ashley is OK. That would kill us if it was something serious.

 

[MotleyDogg]

Anyone with a decent link??? The one I found is really rough

 

[The Derski]

Whenever I hear the airball chant I want to punch something really hard. Including our own student section.

 

[The Derski]

Fuck Ashley out....

 

[Arizona_Sting]

SHIT. Ashley done for the game.
