At least he gave it up to Ced on that break.

True, he was so loose with the ball I thought for sure he was going to turn it over

Saw him grab his shoulder. Hope he is okay. Kerr taking it to the basket and getting easy points. He really helped when we were in trouble.

Love how Kerr took over when our foul trouble got serious.

I’m really impressed that Arizona put up more than 80 on San Diego State with that ball pressure.

Kenpom said we had a 51% chance to win. We were 1.5 point favorites.

That was a good challenge, and the Cats met it well!!!

The addition of Ramey makes us a damn good team!!!

Cats gave me the tip time I wanted, I'll be here from tip to end. No more halftime distractions!

3pm Tucson time tip. Hope everyone can watch!

He was still playing after he grabbed his shoulder earlier, probably just a little sore.

Creighton is rated ahead of us. If we win that game we will be top 10 next week. Great play by all the guys. Kerr learning taking it to the hole STRONG will get us points. Ramey is the missing link. With this style of basketball and the results can't believe recruits aren't begging to get in. Think this game was a good test for Tommy. Had to deal with multiple players in foul trouble, saw a lead evaporate and momentum completely switch and did not panic or lash out. Stayed cool. He is a good coach that kids should want to play for.

We're relentless on O. Very few teams will be able to contain us for 40 minutes. Going to take a top 25 D team plus an off shooting night for us not to be able to score. And Ramey is a difference maker, and must love playing in this offense after playing in a slower one at Texas.

Need a little more production from the bench. Henderson is reliable, and what you want from a 5th year transfer. But Bal, Vessaar, and Boswell, 2 points combined. At least Bal had 2 assists and 3 rebounds.

Took a punch and then knocked them out. Love the toughness and competitiveness of this team as they start to stamp an identity.

Creighton will be another tough test especially after back to back games.

Can’t wait until tomorrow (ummm…later today) to see what they have in them.

Oh and this Ramey guy. I think he’s a baller and looks like that outside threat we desperately needed this year.

One good thing about all the fouls on UA was that Ballo, Tubelis and Larsson sat more than they normally would. Needs those legs for tomorrow.

Creighton/Arkansas came down to the wire. Creighton will be more gassed than us.

I work at the hospital and work swing shift. I never get to see a game live and must record it. I finished watching this game and I am really impressed with Arizona. That was a good team we beat. 1-6 rotation for Arizona is a lock. I love Henderson coming off the bench. He knows the game. I want to see more Adama Bal. He reacts quickly, but makes many mistakes. Still... he is the right speed for this offense. I believe PT will help. I also believe it will pay dividends come March. This team is really good now and has a lot of room for growth.

I may not be able to see many games live, but I can record them. This is a really fun to watch, just like last season. I believe we are one of the best teams in the country right now, but we are able to improve immensely by the end of the season. I can't wait for Creighton. Instant classic, but I would put my money on the Cats.

I live this team!!! Get to watch the game while I pack for Thanksgiving at camp!!!

So excited. Still getting up way to early to see these late starts, but firing up the VCR for the SDSU game today before the champ game.
Kalkbrenner is good, but Ballo is gonna be a load. Hope he can stay out of foul trouble, and we can get Kalk into trouble. Ramey is freaking awesome!!! And Kerr is showing some maturity in shot and pass selections. This is awesome!!!!

Wonder how long it will be before we all just assume we are gonna have a great team under CTL and not be surprised by early results.

Nice problem to have, to outperform preseason expectations.
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.
