Ayton is the the new Brandon Ashley, any contact gets a foul call against him.

Dude has regressed.
Why is he going to the league? He has no handles, a poor shot, terrible decision making, and can't think of even why he is out there with 2 fouls.

1 point in 15 minutes.

At this point I'm not sure Alkins would be taken in the second round. Doe's not look confident in his game at all.

Because Arizona. Ayton is his own arc.

Cats need a lift off the bench, from anyone this game.

Has Dylan Smith made a field goal in the tournament?

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 8:59 pm**

so pjc will have 2 misses on his 3 point attempts that really shouldn't matter

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:00 pm**

We tried to foul there and they didn't call it. Do these refs have skin in the game?

I'm not even sure Trier would be a 2nd round pick, completely disappears again in the first half.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:00 pm**

It's amazing we keep getting beat by the same pick & roll play on Rikocevic.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:01 pm**

welp despite the glaringly obvious issues, we're only down 3 at the half.

Ill be shocked if rawle gets drafted. He honestly couldn't step foot on an NBA court right now. He can't shoot, he's an avg. defender. He's pretty bad on the break and driving. He's going to need a lot of years in the NBDL.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:01 pm**

Cats getting beaten off the dribble and via bounce pass to the posts. That's it.

Better footwork and more aggressive drives against the zone will have Cats winning this title going away. Unfortunately, this is not that kind of team, and the result is yet another react-and-respond first half.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:02 pm**

Basically in the 2nd half the ball should go to either Ayton or Dusan even with the zone. Our guards and wings are sucking it up tonight.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:02 pm**

I’m looking forward to seeing how this team adjusts to USCs ball screen offense. Absolutely killed us in the first half RUNNIJG THE SAME DAMN THING

Rawle is the new Trier.

Seriously he is the single player most responsible for us not being ahead by 8. But I don’t think he is selfish or a mercenary. Just playing like shit. If he floats one more ball into the rafters and clangs it off the back of the rim, I give permission for Ayton to slam the ball in his face.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:03 pm**

Down 4 last night at half so I guess we have them right where we want.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:03 pm**

Rawle will have a better 2nd half

Trier needs to get more aggressive and start driving the ball and getting fouled.

And we need to stop their big dumb looking white guy

Final- Cats by 7

Arizona is out-rebounding the Trojans 20-11. Can you imagine this game without all those turnovers?

As good as Ristic has grown into being in most facets of the game, his four-year inability to stop the pick-and-roll is the reason SC is ahead, and Rikocevic is responsible. Just too easy, and I do look forward to a defense that can recover off high-post screens next season.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:05 pm**

Dylan Smith is 0-8 from 3 point range in the Pac 12 tourney.

Alkins is playing like absolute shit. If he was a freshman, he wouldn't be playing at all.

It's a shame that Randolph hasn't developed and the coaches don't trust him. We could use some help right now. Akot had a bad turnover and a bullshit foul. But he plays hard.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:06 pm**

I'd love to see us play zone for just a possession or two, just to see how it would effect USC. But I doubt our execution would be any better than our terrible man defense fundamentals.

Younger, quicker players. If Ira Lee hadn't had his concussion protocol, I would've loved to see what he could've done in first-half situations in this tourney.

But yeah, at this point, Ristic has far more pluses than that minus, and it's up to the rest of the packline to provide help.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:10 pm**

With a once in a lifetime talent like Ayton on your team, you can't waste this opportunity. We've got to make this work.

The rest of the team needs to man up.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:11 pm**

The D better pick up in the second half.

Steve Nash, Santa Clara for one.

Keep feeding Ayton!!!

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:12 pm**

Ayton is also getting fouled every time underneath the basket but apparently he's too big and athletic to get anything called

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:15 pm**

Cats 2 of 10 from three, and nine turnovers (Rawle's got to have eight of those).

Unacceptable.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:16 pm**

Rawle woke up.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:17 pm**

you have to remember AZ was in an overtime game last night with the second best team in the conf, while SC basically had a scrimmage

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:17 pm**

RA3! Finally

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:17 pm**

rawle made a 3?

woah, what's this crazy world coming to

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:17 pm**

Ok lets do this!

Oh, I know. It's been a long, long time I've wanted to get you your very own Arizona ugly floppy haired white guy to make other team's fans feel the feel.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:19 pm**

The 2nd half of the 2018 PAC 12 final will be known as the greatest 20 minutes of Rawle Alkins Arizona career

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:20 pm**

Floppy haired Wildcat

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:23 pm**

Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed Ayton

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:23 pm**

Why is that a shooting foul?

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:26 pm**

glad trier skipped the 3 and drove that.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:26 pm**

More of that Trier

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:27 pm**

PJC has been awesome recently.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:27 pm**

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:28 pm**

I'd be really interested to see what this game would look like with last night's officiating crew.

I've been a big critic. But he's had a sensational tournament.

If Alkins and Trier could step up their play on the defensive end, we might actually be a dominant team.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:30 pm**

Terrible last possession by Arizona. Nobody moved, and all perimeter passing. Embarrassing in March.

Posted: **Sat Mar 10, 2018 9:30 pm**

that was a god awful possession. sheesh.
