Let’s curb stomp these fools. Start the year and the Tommy Lloyd era off right.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

25 point favorite.

But being a late game, and on PAC-12 Arizona not going to get a lot of viewership, but at least it starts at 7:30 west coast.

He was here for 12 years, brother. Will take a minute or two to get used to saying "Lloyd." Hopefully he gets off to a good start this year and forces us all to learn his name, lol.

Cats by 29

Anyone that wants to go to the game there are a lot of sub $9 tickets on StubHub. There will be a ton of empty lower seats especially after half time. There are also 2 floor seats for $225 a piece. I never see floor seats available, cheapest floor seat all season.

I am going to scream if I have to hear "POE-zeshion" one more time. I have found my fingernails on a chalkboard.

11-5 is also, apparently, a game with "shifting momentum."

Ballo is huge. Why is he tipping the ball on a rebound under the rim? Instead he should be pulling the ball in. The other thing I noticed is he didn't go for the ball on a rebound, instead stretching for it. For his size he needs to stop being timid.

Already I like CTL in that he has allowed the offense to open up. Sean Miller didn't allow his players to create as much. I believe the players are having more fun and the game hasn't become a chore.

Like how he stretches the defense too. The pack line Miller defense was a little tiring.

And, this fan isn't bored by the offense!!! Love the emphasis on transition!!!

And Koloko...Koloko is why we can get away with overplaying. Packline has its place...i hate when teams jump passing lanes and give up as many 5 on 4s as they get runouts. But a rim eraser makes the overplay easier.

Already up 20 at the half, and NAU will be worn out by the end. We are literally running them off the floor. There are definitely things to work on though, like what SD86 pointed out in boxing out and rebounding. I believe part of the problem is that the players are thinking about getting out and running too much. Refining their roles on offense ought to help.
