We are playing like crap. The Cats need to throw a new wrinkle into their offense. The flow in the offense is terrible and out of sync. USC has figured out our offense.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:35 pm**

Get a fucking rebound

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:35 pm**

Boz and Abercrombie playing timidly

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:38 pm**

IF Abercrombie takes it to the hoop with two hands, he most likely draws the foul

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:39 pm**

Larsson and Boswell still scoreless with 4 combined TOs and 1 assist

USC came to play and their defense is stifling right now. They know how to clog up the lane. If the Cats can't shoot from mid-range or long range to open up the floor, they will lose this game.

Low scoring grind it out game. Who is tougher. Boogie could be a big problem with a score this low. Two 3's and that is huge in a game like this.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:43 pm**

Gotta make FTs… Boz is mia again so far

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:44 pm**

Boswell playing good D so far

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:44 pm**

This game is a brawl. It helps prepare UA for the tourney.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:45 pm**

This is a tough match up for Bozwell. USC has 2 nba level physical guards. He needs to focus on all the other aspects of the game

Most D1 players aren’t comfortable shooting 10 - 12 footers. They practice over dribbling and 3 pointers and step backs, but they don’t see the mid range shots as being integral to winning

These refs suck. Every play is a foul

Ugly bb game

Great game, outside of free throws

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:53 pm**

Ballo has got to get a couple of those freebies. Kylan paying good defense.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:54 pm**

Miller would be proud of this D. Need to keep it up all game to get the win.

Maybe, but USC has gotten it worse than us. (We've had 11 FT's, USC 1)

And, only losers complain about refs...

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:57 pm**

This has become unwatchable

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 12:57 pm**

What a fucking Defensive half AZ!!!!

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:00 pm**

I have never seen Arizona play this much smash mouth defense before.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:00 pm**

USC didn't score for the last 5:49

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:00 pm**

Up 28-16 at half... We are the Virginia of theWest!!!!

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:00 pm**

IMNSHO, that might be the best 28-point half that I've seen from an Arizona team!

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:00 pm**

28-16 what the fuck are we even doing here

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:00 pm**

Play some killer D and you don't have to worry about your shots falling.

SC missing 10 straight shots

We are not playing badly IMO

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:02 pm**

Takes a lot of energy to play that defense. Got to make some of those underneath shots. Refs will even it out this half so play without fouling is key. This is a defensive game and it will take focus and strength to finish.

Not saying we're playing poorly, just that this is just gross basketball being played

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:03 pm**

9 TOs, 4 assists, 38.5% FGs, 45.5% FTs, and up 12. I'll take it

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:04 pm**

Was concerned about the offense, but the defense is what we need. This team isn't going to score 90 points a game in the tournament. Like seeing the ability to get it done in different ways.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:04 pm**

First one to 40 wins.

Yes it's gross but nice to see we can still survive a gross game

USC will fit right in with the Big 10 with this kind of ugly ball.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:06 pm**

Pretty crowded inside for a Thursday noon game. And very loud in McKale North

HA!

Sweat Boy would have had Ballo hedging 10 feet outside of the 3 line, negating any chance of those beautiful blocks that he had

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:10 pm**

Great defensive half - still need to clean up the TOs and get some more FT made!

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:11 pm**

USC can score in a hurry so I'm nervous. Pelle only having 1 foul will keep johnson in check.

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:13 pm**

Need to come out strong. Keep playing D and hopefully a few bunnies will drop this half.

To be honest, BOTH teams played "Ugly ball" that half, and the pace was determined by USC...

... that was CSM's game, and that's also one of the main reasons I prefer CTL's offensive style.

While I think we didn't handle USC well at all last week, I do recognize that so far, this has been a good performance against one of the most difficult styles we are likely to face (before Houston or UConn, anyway)

Posted: **Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:14 pm**

USC has missed some bunnies too. Momentum will be huge this half and I'm glad our crowd is there.
