Arizona may not win them all this year but they could be favored in every game they play from here on out.

What a game. This team looks tough as nails. Every time Duke cut the lead or even when they went ahead by a couple, somebody makes a big play. And the FTs at the end......cool as ice.

Our starters all scored between 11 and 14 points

I would say that is a balanced team!!!

I think we'll win the most important one. This team knows how to win. Amazing job by Tommy with the freshmen and transfers.

This team can be great defensively. Tommy's plan was as good as I have seen in awhile. All the guys played hard whether they missed a shot or blew an assignment. Great team win.

Rat Faces' hand picked Eunuch (Scheyer) had a floor full of 5 Stars and a bench full of 5 stars AND 3 zebras in his corner at home and still lost.

CTL outcoached the crap out of Scheyer.

My favorite moment is when Duke finally took the lead late, did the 3 player slap the floor to prove intensity and we immediately scored and then held them. Slap the floor MF'rs. Big shoutout to Ballo who ran the floor and put pressure on Duke's D.

The announcers don’t even care to analyze the game either
It was 1 and 1. He made both.
Is that a new rule?
It was off the ball. The shooter wasnt fouled.


I still could have sworn that used to only be one shot if the basket was made.
That was my thought also, but I think it’s been this way for some time.

He just said BTFD when they showed the score!

Now he's talking about floor slapping too!

I was thinking to myself when Love hit that 3 pointer at halftime that it would be hilarious if the game came down to that shot. And what do you know? If he hadn't hit that shot the game would have been tied towards the end.

Watched the game at the club. Elliptical at very low resistance. In the 1h Bam Bam makes that late shoot clock 3, we get a stop on Duke's big under the basket, 'Shad makes a power move FG, TIME OUT BITCHES!!! I check my pulse: 158.

It was a great very early season game. I think we were better throughout, but either team could have won, but for some damn decent foul shooting in crunch time.

I think both teams will improve greatly during the season.

And I don’t fault or disrespect Scheyer at all. To do that is just bs. In fact, to claim that CTL “outcoached the crap” of him can only be true if one thinks Duke’s personnel are superior to Arizona’s…

I’m really glad that CTL and Scheyer like and respect one another, and that this home-and-home series is happening. It was a really good, competitive game, and next year’s contest @ McKale will truly be a treat for Arizona’s fans!

BTFD!!!!

Hopefully Boswell is okay. We've got plenty of big games ahead of us. I sincerely think we should be #1 and should win the big enchilada.

Still don't understand the call by Scheyer to put 4 players on the far court and hope for a Hail Mary. They still had time to get the ball down and take a 3 point shot.


Fantastic!
