House Divided - my daughter is on a one game win streak over her brother and me. Let's end that now

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.

25 sounds a little high. Thinking we win by 15-20.

Bear down!

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.

I might wear the F ESPN shirt

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.

Koloko is going to be a fan favorite

EVCat · Post by **EVCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:50 pm

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."

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:54 pm

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.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:57 pm

Our shooting is terrible, especially in the paint.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:59 pm

I love the athleticism of JT.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:02 pm

Only 10k tonight. That will change if we win in Las Vegas.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:03 pm

I did not like DT as a player last year.... I think that is about to completely change

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:06 pm

Even though the Cats aren't playing good right now, they are fun to watch. It's been a long time I've enjoying watching Arizona play this much. I love the pace.

Dalen with an opportunity to play with the ball in his hands - night and day player

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:10 pm

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.

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:10 pm

Definitely fun to watch. Looking forward to the season.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:13 pm

DT has improved his game in every imaginable way.

The freshman to sophomore leap is real

scumdevils86 · Post by **scumdevils86** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:13 pm

Getting out rebounded by quite a bit.

wyo-cat · Post by **wyo-cat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:13 pm

Holy fuck, Tommyball is exciting as fuck.

There’s been more run outs tonight than in a season for Miller ball.

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

EVCat · Post by **EVCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:20 pm

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.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Tue Nov 09, 2021 9:23 pm

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.
