Is Southern bringing all or part of their band?

That isn’t a joke question at all.

I thought that was just a football thing.

Maybe the SU Dancing Dolls, too!!

Out of curiosity I went to their site.

A) They’re called the Human Jukebox which is objectively awesome

B) There’s 300 of them, so no room at McKale for more than a third of them

C) Their next scheduled event is the Battle of the Bands at the Southern vs Grambling game over Thanksgiving

D) I’m sad this isn’t the away game it was supposed to be

Back in the day when McKake would host first round tournament games, Southern was there with their pep band. That band got several standing ovations and the fans immediately went for Southern Who upset their opponent and the fans were to thankful for another opportunity to see the band. Not sure they cared about the team LOL

Has UNLV really fallen that far?

FANDUEL SPORTSBOOK LINE: Wildcats -31; over/under is 158.5

BOTTOM LINE: Southern visits the No. 12 Arizona Wildcats after Tai'Reon Joseph scored 22 points in Southern's 85-71 win against the UNLV Rebels.

What happened with that? Seems to go against the spirit of the agreement. Just guessing Southern was offered a more lucrative deal than they would have made hosting Arizona. Maybe UA just wanted to avoid another long trip so closely after going to Durham.

Meanwhile, SWAC schools get the opportunity to host power-conference opponents, which is a rarity for schools that largely have to play grueling non-conference schedules filled with road games against power-conference schools to bring in money to support the entire athletic department.

“These teams are very under-resourced, and they’re forced to basically go on the road constantly. As a result, it becomes very difficult for them even if they have a talented team to get selected to the NCAA Tournament,” Pac-12 Deputy Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich said. “We thought it would be meaningful if we offered to do a true sort of series, like Power 5 leagues have done, but actually play road games.”

As a result of this initiative, some Pac-12 student-athletes have already had the opportunity to journey to the center of the civil rights movement in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, walking on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma and visiting the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum in Montgomery that focuses on the historical legacy of slavery in the United States.

Thanks AW. The story is behind a paywall, so can you, or someone, detail what Southern gets out of it?

Understanding of course, that these schools get their biggest payday of the whole season while traveling.

Looks like they get a future game in Baton Rouge and the high end of the typical buy game payout which is between $80,000 and $95,000.

Ballo continues to end up on the floor.

No one matches Kerr on the full court press…

… or catches one like Zu.

We look like ass!

TheCat · Post by **TheCat** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:15 pm

A little sloppy to start. Let's go Cats.

LuteIsGod · Post by **LuteIsGod** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:22 pm

Attack the basket and let Kriivas and Ballo clean up misses

And play clean D

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:23 pm

Just get Krivas the ball in the post and let him pass out after they double

Fishclamps · Post by **Fishclamps** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:24 pm

Chucking up 3s

TheCat · Post by **TheCat** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:26 pm

Tommy will calm them down.

Love is NOT a good shooter. He and Pelle need to play inside out to play impactfully.

pc in NM · Post by **pc in NM** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:27 pm

this is starting off as an exhibition of basketbawful

Don’t think I have ever seen McKale that empty. Upper deck is basically empty

pc in NM · Post by **pc in NM** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:30 pm

Why hasn’t anyone complained about the refs yet? Shameless homers

Fishclamps · Post by **Fishclamps** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:32 pm

Awful

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:33 pm

Jaden can get out of this game tbh

LuteIsGod · Post by **LuteIsGod** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:34 pm

Boswell should be bringing the ball up every time

Fishclamps · Post by **Fishclamps** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:38 pm

Can't help but like Fili B

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:39 pm

Bro is a great passer

TheCat · Post by **TheCat** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:40 pm

we have like 5 fg's. Need to start to play team ball. Those guys are really quick and that seems to be a problem. Like Love pushing the ball.

What is the Arizona record for turnovers in a game?

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:52 pm

12 TOs, 1-8 3 pt

pc in NM · Post by **pc in NM** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:53 pm

Probably a good thing this is on Pac-12 Network…

… No one east of the Mississippi will see it.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 6:54 pm

Worst half in the Tommy era but kind of expected it. Get home at 4:30am Saturday and have one day of prep/rest.

The refs have made this game nearly unwatchable. No one is tuning in to see you guys blow a whistle!

Bradley is the shakiest ball handler I have seen at PG in a long time.

KaibabKat · Post by **KaibabKat** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 7:00 pm

On the other hand - not bad defense.

Just haven’t been impressed by him. I know it’s early but he is way too careless with the ball

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 7:02 pm

16 straight misses

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 7:02 pm

Nice end to the half. Hopefully we can really play in the 2nd.

Agree…is Martinez too weak/underweight to play PG?

pc in NM · Post by **pc in NM** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 7:04 pm

Combined shooting : 15-55!

Basketbawful!

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Mon Nov 13, 2023 7:04 pm

Can we combine Martinez and Bradley into one player? Would be good for sure

35 -23 Arizona

Whatever Frisch said to the offense at halftime on Saturday, CTL needs to say now - and not the PG-rated “version”…
