The Wildcats have won 27-consecutive regular-season non-conference games

A few tough teams in there, but for the most part no longer the Lute mantra of "anyone anyplace" going back to when the UA canceled the UNC series, unfortunately.

How many have we won at home in a row? Seems like a long time since we lost a game.

From POM's link:


UA is in the midst of a 21-game home winning streak, one shy of tying the fifth-longest in program history; the Wildcats lead the Pac-12 in homecourt winning percentage since 2010-11 and are 74-11 (.871) at McKale Center with Miller at the helm.

Stretch that to close to 40 with running the table at home this year that Gonzaga game will be a tough one for sure. THHX Merk for digging that out and thanks POM for the link

I said it before last season... TJ will not lose a single home game while at AZ.

No line on this game? Even Grand Canyon has a line against Kentucky and Presbyterian has a line vs Duke.

Anyone see a line?

No Las Vegas Line.

Sagarin = Arizona by 26.

KenPom = Arizona by 23 (84-61).

That still seems weird. MSM was a tourney team last year and is a top 150 rpi. Who does Vegas not know about to set a line on this game?

I saw us -27.5 somewhere

Saw these two stats on a preview today:

- Arizona is in the midst of a 45-game streak in which it has not given up more than 75 points.
- Arizona has been ranked in 41-straight AP polls, including 21-straight weeks in the AP top 10, and 19-straight weeks in the AP top five.

Pretty cool.

I'm interested to see PJC and Dusan play in this game. They should get a lot of run time out there, so it will be interesting to watch PJC shoot and Dusan react to what the defense gives him when he catches it on the low block.

Most of all though, I'm just excited that it's basketball season. :)

Really happy the season begins tonight. Love this time of year.

I found it hilarious he used air quotes around the word injured. But then I also find it hilarious Pac 12 hired him.

KON went on to say that Rondae is very unhappy to not be starting. I didn't think he was that close to Rondae :lol:

cause if he's not a threat on O then we're plyaing 4 on 5 on that end of the court?

Plus, he shot decently before he got here, no reason he can't do it again?

To keep the defense honest so it won't be 5 on 4.

No identity or gelling.

It's to be expected, probably take 10+ games.

Just feeling each other out.

Better start than Sunday at least. That's what I was hoping for.
