(M) Game 37, Houston at Arizona (NCAA Tournament- Sweet 16 ) (2021-2022)

Lucky to only be down six. Don’t like our body language. We’ve been punched in the mouth and aren’t sure if we want to respond.

[RondaeShimmy]

They all have the tips on their shots - how many 6’ & under shots weren’t even close?? Like not even hitting the rim

They're rushing the shots because they don't want contact

[azgreg]

[Siempre Verde]

The fact we are down only by 6 at half is a fucking miracle. Several of our players have their heads stuck in a bad place.

[RawleArenas]

Being down 6 is indeed a break. We're going to see if Tommy learned anything from the Baylor game last year

[mofo]

Do they realize if we wanted to hear about Duke, we'd watch CBS?

Ugh no shit

No one watches UofA

If this doesn’t work out tonight and Duke loses too, at least that does give me some peace that we won’t have to hear as much Duke bullshit from now on (hopefully).

[CopaCat]

Their defense is good, but we need to play not scared of their physicality. Attack the basket!

Hard to attack when their athletes are quicker than yours. Basically only Mathurin, Koloko, and Terry are comparable to Houstons athletes. We can still win but we need better movement, screening, passing and spacing to fight their quickness, physicality, and athleticism.

[Merkin]

[Alieberman]

Well we sucked balls in the first half and only down by 2.

We need to come out fighting and scrapping. Our energy and effort must be WAY better.

I much prefer your halftime score... what channel are you watching on?

[AZCatGirl]

Okay, let's do this again.

[Postmaster]

Zu is becoming Zeus with the hands.

I’d really like to see some sort stuff f set to get a lob or something.

Still think we wait for rebounds and don’t box out

[Siempre Verde]

Switched over to the TT - Duke game. So nice to see teams that can actually shoot and not watch potential rebounds go flying by like the ball will hurt you if touched.

[CalStateTempe]

Good post merkin, I had that same thought at the beginning of half

[Catintheheat]

Zu needs to work on moving to his right and shooting with his right hand. He also needs to work on upper and lower body strength. Even if he does this, his ceiling is playing in Europe. I can't see him ever playing in the NBA.

[MountainCat]

If they didn't call a bunch of fouls on Houston, we'd be getting cooked really badly

Arizona has 7 total FGs and 10/14 from the free throw line

Thank the refs

Of those 7 FGs, we have 6 assists. Who knew…

[RondaeShimmy]

He can't stay on the floor. He loses or gets stripped the ball in the perimeter, post, wing - all over the place.

These games are too quick for him

Sorry, fat fingered the number. Much like Zu's first half play...

[Fishclamps]

Just need Koloko and Benn to be even marginally better and we got this

[Siempre Verde]

Zu needs to work on moving to his right and shooting with his right hand. He also needs to work on upper and lower body strength. Even if he does this, his ceiling is playing in Europe. I can't see him ever playing in the NBA.

Pretty sure he also needs to get smacked in the mouth or something to elicit some sort of emotion. I mean, maybe it doesn’t ever happen, but he seems way too robotic.

Oh wait…or stepped on his head!!!!

I would much rather have Zeus out there. Zu is more like Loren Woods, gets rattled too easily and the game gets in his head.

[Postmaster]

Anyone else not that impressed with Rounds?

[wyo-cat]

It’ll be interesting to see what adjustments they make at halftime.

[Postmaster]

Maybe boobgate has screwed Benn’s mind?

[RaisingArizona]

Anyone else not that impressed with Rounds?

There are no lifts designed to increase will. If we want it more than Houston in the second half we can win this game. They badly want it of course so we better dial it up

I get that reference!

[Catintheheat]

I don't think that. When I played in a game everything else left my mind.

[EastCoastCat]

Gotta make this a street fight.

[Postmaster]

Even boobs?

That's a high bar.

[ZagCatFan]

Bet Lloyd said pound it inside

[CalStateTempe]

Change the onesie, change the giant blowout diaper, we got this we good

[g32knights]

Damn, that's nuts for Edwards.

[CopaCat]

Finally passing

[84Cat]

Here we go

[AZCatGirl]

I like this start.

[Siempre Verde]

Gotta make this a street fight.

Um, no. We’d lose at that

[Postmaster]

Maybe Zu needs that Lebron powder?

[UAEebs86]

Send it in big man!

[dovecanyoncat]

Bet Lloyd said pound it inside

You know him better than we do. What do you think he said about 50/50 balls and O boards?

[Alieberman]

let's Fucking Go!!!!

[Phylek]

Watching the second half in the did with some Angel's Envy Rye. Should make me feel a little better.

[84Cat]

Flop

[dovecanyoncat]

I know I'm jacked when I get a nose bleed just watching a fucking game.

[Alieberman]

Zu woke up

[AZCatGirl]

Nice defense big balls!

[84Cat]

Let's fucking go!!!!!!

[UAEebs86]

Zu is becoming Zeus with the hands.

Manos de piedras

[CopaCat]

Definitely playing with wayyyyy more urgency. Lloyd must of laid into them at half.

[OSUCat]

How many layups can AT miss?

[UAEebs86]

Zu can't finish
