I would not have said that would be possible a week ago.

Go Cats!
A run in Vegas is entirely possible.........the P12 stinks.

I would like to see us get a 7 seed with Stanford and 2 out of OSU/asu/Utah on our side of the bracket.

Teams I don't want on our side of the bracket: USC/UCLA/Oregon

Completely agree with this.

Just noticed quite a few U of A fans left of the basket on the game winning shot! Had no idea until I saw this gif.

I think POM is looking for the dunk from earlier in game.
I think it was left handed.

That's not a dunk. That's the put-back winning shot at the end of the game. I'm looking for the putback dunk he had earlier in the game.

I'm surprised he didn't get called for over the back, because you know, PAC-12 refs.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 9:36 am

I like our chances to make some noise in the P12 tournament.

If the season ended today we would have to go through WSU/OSU/asu to get to the championship game.

I think we match up well against all 3 with the exception of Trent Franks of wsu

for a crowd I figured would know...

When was the last time we had a buzzer beater shot? And I stick to buzzer beater...Salim's UCLA and OK St shot were not, as the other team had a possession with some time remaining. His ASU shot was. Mark Lyons was not a true buzzer beater vs Florida. Neither was DWill's shot to beat Texas.

And not looking for ones against us...lord knows that seems to happen every year.

When was our last buzzer beater for a win?

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 10:50 am

If we beat Oregon this weekend, this team is gonna start to believe, if they don't already.

The Pac tourney is very winnable.

Kadeem was close against Michigan St. two years ago. Only 1.3 seconds left.

Any word on Jeter?

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 1:05 pm

Didn’t Wise have one?
Didn’t Fogg hit free throws with no time on clock?

KillerKlown · Post by **KillerKlown** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 1:09 pm

I think Fogg or Solomon hit three fts in a row to send a game into ot. I think.
I think Wise had two in one month.

My memory of Wises was it was against a team we should have beat easily and that the review took for ever

I included fogg only because , IIRC, it was at buzzer AND he had to hit 3/3.

After this play, Jacobsen pointed out that OSU needed to box out better.

Was that the game against Colorado, here in Tucson? The shot where, even days later, there were arguments about whether or not the shot got off on time?

No, that was where Colorado hit a buzzer beater against us, but the refs said it was still on his finger tip when the clock hit 0. The game he's referring to is the one I linked, which was the Lipscomb game.

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 1:52 pm

Not sure
Someone posted a link to the lipscomb shoe earlier, but it seemed like the ball blocked the clock in one camera angel so it was really hard to tell

Edit Thanks for clarification

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 1:58 pm

I also remember going crazy that Fogg passed instead of shooting, didn’t think there was any way Wise could shoot in time.

Postmaster · Post by **Postmaster** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 3:13 pm

Someone on radio just pointed out that DD probably wouldn’t have been in game at end if Jeter and or Luther hadn’t been unavailable.

I doubt either makes that play.

Catintheheat · Post by **Catintheheat** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 4:30 pm

The most dramatic buzzer beater was Miles Simon making the 3/4 court shot, while running, against Cincinnati.

It looks like we still have an outside (way outside) chance at a first round bye in Vegas.

Chase Jeters knee injury is only a bruise........but its unclear if he will play Saturday

My job requires too much math to see that myself (and the math of my job is a meatball in comparison with the sausage party that’s your job), but that surprises me. Especially given that we’re going to win the next two games.

Scenario A (No. 4 seed)
Arizona beats Oregon and ASU. ASU wins at Oregon State before losing in Tucson. OSU loses at Washington but wins at Wazzu. Utah wins at Colorado and either sweeps the Los Angeles schools at home or splits, as long as it beats UCLA. UCLA gets swept on the road by the Rocky Mountain schools. Stanford loses at home to Washington. USC either splits in the mountains or is swept. Colorado wins no more than two of its final three games, but one of those wins is over UCLA. Arizona and OSU tie for fourth place, with Arizona’s sweep of the Beavers serving as the tiebreaker.

Scenario B (No. 3 seed)
Arizona beats Oregon and ASU. ASU wins at Oregon State before falling to the Wildcats. OSU’s only remaining win comes at Wazzu. Utah loses at Colorado and splits with the LA schools, beating UCLA. UCLA loses both games in the Mountains. Stanford loses to Washington. USC loses at Utah but beats Colorado. Colorado beats Utah and UCLA but loses to the Trojans. Arizona ends up in a three-way tie with OSU and Utah, and its combined 3-1 record against the Beavers and Utes becomes the deciding factor.

Scenario C (No. 2 seed)
Arizona wins out, its victory over ASU coming after the Sun Devils lose at Oregon State. The Beavers get swept at the Washington schools. Utah loses to Colorado and USC but beats UCLA. UCLA gets swept in the mountains. Stanford loses to Washington. USC beats Utah but loses at Colorado. Colorado wins out at home against Utah and the LA schools. That creates a massive five-way tie for second between Arizona, ASU, Colorado, OSU and Utah in which Devonaire Doutrive’s tip shot in Corvallis (thus completing a sweep of the Beavers) gives the Wildcats a 5-3 mark against the other four schools while no one else is better than .500 among the rest.

Get all that? There will be a test on Sunday if Arizona manages to knock off Oregon. If it loses to the Ducks, let’s pretend all of this research never happened.

Like I said. Long shot.

Against usc in 2010 as it was my bachelor party weekend in Tucson

20 of us at mckale to see that mid day game. So epic

Afterwards went to frogs and hung out all afternoon. Spent like $300 in total too for about 3-4 hours of drinking and eating

Fogg walked by and everyone cheered for him and I ran out and took a picture with him I can’t find which bums me out. One of the nicest guys ever

Still crazy that after everything we could still win 19 games and finish 2nd in the conference.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Fri Mar 01, 2019 7:55 pm

If we finish 2nd in the Pac, the Pac really should be disbanded.

I think I'm going to need therapy to get through my Reffy complex.

I am with you there that last game was some serious shitcalling even for Pac 1/2 standards

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sat Mar 02, 2019 9:45 pm

Randolph hitting all those crazy shots the other night was probably the worst thing that could have happened to his game.

Now he thinks he should be shooting those types of shots on every possession.

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sun Mar 03, 2019 12:59 am

This team is a reminder that you can’t really do much without reliable shooters.

In the few games where we’ve looked halfway decent this year (first half of Gonzaga, Iowa State, the three prior to tonight), we’ve shot the ball very well. It’s easy to pick on Randolph. He’s probably our most disappointing player this year. But he’s certainly not alone.

Altman’s teams tend to be very good offensively. Lots of scorers. This year is no different. Our only chance against a team like the Ducks or USC or UW is to shoot well above our season averages.

ByJoveByJingle · Post by **ByJoveByJingle** » Sun Mar 03, 2019 1:59 am

Oregon is 109 in AdjO, Arizona is 144. Both putrid. All comes down to having the players.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Sun Mar 03, 2019 7:32 am

There is very little chance the Cats can win a game again without a full roster with Jeter and Williams.

BR can't be the guy when they are out.

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sun Mar 03, 2019 12:46 pm

So true, Merk.

My weird, abiding hope that this team could still heat up at just the right time and get into the dance...this hope endures until the final horn sounds on the season.

But we know what we have with this team.
