No Fat Chicks
Jordan Bachysnki would be so much better if he wasnt so uncoordinated around the rim. He needs to keep the ball high and hit the weight room. Must be hard to grow into a 7'2'' body.

All the other Pac 12 fans hate basketball. Probably because Arizona lays a fat dump on them all the time. UCLA fans don't exist.
Yeah im just talking about on this site. Apparently its cool to hate basketball and get boners for football.
Go Ducks!! Whats up BB fans.....roll call.....Jahii...here.....lol
Not a huge BB fan myself, but I do like watching PAC games. Arizona probably the favorite this year huh? I think Oregon will be good again, maybe win the conf or at least go to the tourney. ASU should be decent...not sure about the rest. One thing for sure, the Beavers will suck again....even the President of the USA's brother in law cant stop that.

Just thought I'd drop by again and saw this. I was at the store last night, in the mag aisle and picked up one of those hoop preseason mags. They seemed to think OR St had a pretty good team and were going to be the darkhorse of the PAC 12. I'm not watching all the games but will keep track of the box scores and if the Beavs get anything going, I'll drop by again to blow you guys an E-raspberry
Well, that might still happen, but that comment about OSU might have been a result of the fact that OSU just lost to Coppin State, at home.
UW loses one of their big men for the season. Starting 6'10" F Jernard Jarreau out with a torn ACL which occurred 2 minutes in to their opening game...wow. Looks like UW will be turning to inexperienced Sophomore 7 footer Gilles Dierickx from Belgium (who had 4 fouls in 12 minutes of action...sigh) and Junior 6'9" Junior F Shawn Kemp Jr to take more of the load this season in the paint with Romar's 3 guard sets.
Could be a long season.
Most AZ fans think that ASU has a possibility of making the tourney, but it's just too close to automatically give them the nod. AZ, CU, Oregon, UCLA, Cal, and Stanford all look strong enough to make it. ASU is right there. But 7 teams from the Pac won't make it, unless 6 are at large and a 7th wins the auto bid. I'm not saying that ASU won't make it, I just think it remains to be seen if ASU can play better than at least one of those six other teams. Plenty of basketball to prove it.
I never said anything bad about Marshall. What I did say was that he is completely new to the system, and in order for him to shine at ASU, he will need to work well within that system. You can't just assume that anyone will do that. I hope he does, for his sake, ASU's sake, and therefore, the Pac's sake.
What I said about TJ is that he will be a very good true PG on both sides of the ball. That means that he will have a great assist to turnover ratio, and be a great defender. I maintain that. A true PG is not supposed to lead their team in scoring. It's great if he does, but for a PG to lead in scoring, it usually means that he is not finding the other players who should be scoring more: whether because he isn't looking for them, or because they aren't there. You look at the great PGs such as Nash, Payton, Stockton, etc., they don't lead their team in scoring. They are great because they can find the teammates who are great at scoring. They have dramatic assist to turnover ratios. That is what I expect out of TJ, and I think he will be a better true PG than Jahii, because he has the weapons around him to rack up the assists, while limiting turnovers. Think about it, every shot that Jahii takes, is an assist that he doesn't have the possibility of getting. Jahii just doesn't have the weapons that TJ has. I think that TJ will have a better assist to turnover ratio that Jahii, because he has more weapons. That is what will make him stand the chance to be a better true PG. Take nothing away from Jahii, he is a phenomenal athlete, and he can do it all, but he just doesn't have the weapons that AZ has. He has to do more by himself.
