I'm not gloating but,

[Jim Basnight]

don't you think I deserve a little apology? UW is almost all that I said last summer and AZ is also alot of what I said as well. Go ahead and deny it, but you know I'm right. How many posters here called me foul names and told me I was a know nothing, neophyte, nobody, etc. I really don't need the ego stroke but don't you think I was a little more right than wrong this time?

[UA Direct]

How in the world is this not gloating?

""I'm not gonna say "I told you so", but I told you so"

Thank you so much for not saying 'I told you so'.

Asswipe!

So, on your home court you barely survived a Gonzaga team without Heytvelt (broken ankle), and Raivio (11 whole minutes) before injury.

In reality, Gonzaaga is clearly the best team in Washington.

No doubt whatsoever in my mind.

[JMarkJohns]

Your a piece of **** who just happens to root for a very good team. Washington gets credit... You have now part in it.

Everyone said they would be top-25. That's pretty damn good.

[the goat]

This is exactly why I can't root for Udub. Dude honestly this **** is so low ball. This is something Carnage or some ASSU peice of **** would do. I know you just recently started watching a half decent program, but let me remind you that great season's are a very long process. We'll be fine and you should just hope you don't catch us when we finally have our act together.

[AzDave]

don't you think I deserve a little apology?

No

UW is almost all that I said last summer and AZ is also alot of what I said as well.

It's early December.

The Huskies have played Morgan St., UWGB, Air Force (and UW didn't exactly coast in that one), American (who?), Idaho, Loyola Marymount, and Gonzaga....almost all in Hec Ed. UA has played Kansas, UConn, and MSU on a neutral court, UVa in Tucson and on the road vs. a potential up and comer in Houston.

To recap, UW has played crap and Gonzaga at home. UA has played 2 final four caliber teams and one young but talented team on a neutral court, an ACC team at home, and a decent team on the road. In our 3 losses we have played miserably yet still been in position to win those games.

Virginia isn't good, but I'm fairly confident in saying that even the Cavs would be 6-1 with UW's brutal schedule. Same goes for KU.

UA would certainly be at least 6-1, and if we beat up on a bunch of cupcakes I think we would have the confidence to possibly beat GU if they were to play in McKale.

Come back in a month or so (if you must come back at all).

Go ahead and deny it, but you know I'm right.

No gloating here folks. :rolleyes:

How many posters here called me foul names and told me I was a know nothing, neophyte, nobody, etc.

UW may be good, but those posters were still completely justified. If you would have simply said that you thought UW would still be good nobody would have cared, but when you come with your condescending bullsh** (such as this lame post) you get what you deserve.

I really don't need the ego stroke but don't you think I was a little more right than wrong this time?

Don't need the ego stroke? Then why are you here?

[AzDave]

Just for further clarification re: UW's schedule vs. UA's schedule.

Air Force is actually 7-1. They beat Miami, but other than that their wins have come against a who's who of teams that make you say, "who?". Still, at least the Falcons have actually won some games.

Morgan State is 0-6...best loss other than UW was @ Towson St.
Wisc. GB is 2-4....best win @ UNC Greensboro
American is 0-5...best loss @ Loyola of Maryland
Idaho is 1-4...only win was against 1-6 Southern Utah
Loyola Marymount is 2-4...best win @ BYU
Gonzaga...obviously a good win.

On the other hand:

KU is 3-3...best win...Idaho St. (admittedly nothing special)
UConn is 6-0...beat UA, Gonzaga, and Ark.
MSU is 5-2...beat UA and GT...lost in 3 ot to Gonzaga and they had the stinker vs. UH.
UVa is 3-2...lost @ UA and @ GT, won @ Richmond, also beat Northwestern
UH is 3-1...won @ LSU, beat UA...bad loss to VCU though.

Just figured I'd give the Huskies some love for their game against Air Force.

Hey Jim, it must have been hard to type that post with one hand stroking your cock. You sure are talented. :rolleyes:

[Bison79]

I don't know much about Jim's shenaningan's, I pretty much stay away from outsiders who are annoying, so he probably annoyed me once and I stopped following anything he said.

But wow, talk about a hard-on for an ego stroke...

[catgrad97]

Hey Jim, it must have been hard to type that post with one hand stroking your cock. You sure are talented. :rolleyes:

Boy, you said it Chi. Basnight, I've waded through your asinine excuses for posts for six months now, and this six-year-old display today was the final straw.

You're on my Ignore list. And if you don't think that's a big deal, just wait until your beloved Huskies come back down to earth with a loss or two, because you'll get no response--much less sympathy--here.

Get a rubber woman already and quit ejaculating all over our public board.

Perp-

Dennis Miller once said, "There's no such thing as a minor groin injury." Well, there's no such thing as a positive punch in the nuts. :)

I think we would all approve of giving one to the thread-starter in this case, though.

[TucsonDon]

Basnight, you're a schmuck. UW is a good team, but this win will look better at the end of the year than it actually was. Gonzaga was playing without Raivio, had Batista sit out 12 minutes in the 2nd half w/4 fouls, had Mallon sit out 10 minutes in the 2nd half w/4 fouls, is still without another starter in Erroll Knight, and just lost Josh Heytvelt to an ankle injury. They were playing a French-Canadian who can't shoot, a freshman from the Bay Area whom nobody wanted, a Texas Tech transfer with more knee operations than I can count, the most raw big man I've ever seen on a basketball court, and Adam Morrison...And they still almost won in Seattle. Simmer down over there, Jim.

[gumby]

Um ... I said U-Dub would be good. :confused:

[AZCatFANatic]

I am so thankful to UW for inventing the game of basketball.

Come back in twenty years...

[TheCat]

In all truth...I thought they looked pretty good. Shot better then I thought they would....did a pretty good job penetrating the zone.......one area they looked weak in....the press offense. Their defense also gave up alot of points......

[devilswin99]

Jim,

I want to say congrats on the season so far. UW is clearly the creme de la creme of the PAC, and your success is long overdue. Please do not listen to the posters here, they are envious of UW's accomplishments, and they have major self esteem issues. Here is to a very successful season, and look forward to our matchup in Tempe and Seattle.

I'm sure UW is looking forward to those games as well... Looking forward to padding their stats.

[PerpEph]

Yeah, the team with the Elite 8 and Pac-10 championship from last year is jealous of the team with neither.

You're an idiot, Devilswin99.

Scummies aren't allowed to talk basketball smack until they beat us more than once a decade.

So go away.

of a new kid on the block thinking that a home win in December is a program defining moment. Here is a hint:it is not. And if you need to come to another school's website for validation from its anonymous fan base, then you have some problems that might require professional attention.

The Huskies look to be a solid team, and last night's win was impressive. But it was an OOC win at home in December. If the Huskies are on the bubble in March, then this game will mean alot. Otherwise, it really doesn't - except that it means you can now be considered as a contender for the title of "Top D1 BB program in the State of Washington".

As for the premature comparisons of your program and ours, let's get a few things straight:
1. You have 1 quality win this season, and it comes with a number of asterisks (see TucsonDon's post in this thread for details)
2. You barely beat a very good, but hampered, Gonzaga team at home. Both the 'zags and Cats took Michigan State to Overtime in a neutral venue. Do the math, it does not pencil out to UW>>UA.
3. The AZ loss in a very hostile environment against a talented Houston squad was certainly disappointing, but far from devastating. The Dawgs have not yet even played in a game like that on the road this year.

Declaring victory before the war hasn't even begun is a clear indicator of someone who has never stepped on a battlefield. You might want to wait until our teams have played each other at least once this season before coming over here to gloat.

And you would probably be wise to avoid declaring superiority until the season has drawn to a close. It's a funny thing called KARMA - ask Jimmy Kimmel about it.

Devilswin99

Yea we are definately jealous of their accomplishments. I mean our National Championship, 4 final fours and 11 Pac 10 championships. I mean damn. I would throw that all away for 2 great Seasons. What do you mean we have had 21 straight great seasons?

[Jim Basnight]

I just think they will have a better team than AZ this year. Who cares. Lute has had the NC, the 4 Final Fours, the 11 Pac-10 Championships and I am very much respectful of that. You can have the better program and legacy, I just want to win this year. Is that wrong of me?

I tend to agree with ASU guy, as far as some of you 'Cats. Good luck Devil. Nice three at the buzzer to force overtime tonight. ASU is a scrappy bunch and about a year or two away, but they could do some damage, if people overlook them now. I really like Seay and Pendergraph. Nice building blocks.

AZ will be there at the end, but geez, I know it's only the OOC in early December. I have a calandar and access to a season schedule and have seen hundreds of Pac-10 and Pac-8 basketball games. AZ will be in the NCAA's and McClellan will play a large part in that accomplishment. How they do in the tournament is too soon to call, but one thing they must figure out is the post.

Good luck 'Cats!!!!!

By the way, GU was no wounded duck (no lame Oregon reference intended). Batista and Mallon were in foul trouble because the will of the better team put them there. Knight and Heytvelt were out, but so were Jensen and Perry Jr. Advantage GU there, if you ask me. Raivio was out, but Bobby Jones had him pinned for the whole time he was in and GU looked better without him. If you don't think 43 by Morrison on some of the most amazingly tough shots plus inspired play from the entire Zag team was not their best shot, you are wrong.

Yes it was in Seattle, but I think the refs called it more for the Zags, than the refs did for UW in Spokane last year by a huge margin. Last year Few has a hissy fit when Conroy blocked that shot and the refs promptly gave GU a couple of make up calls, chilling UW's momentum.

This year, Appleby was totally bearhugged by Mr. Superstar call himself and Romar get's hot. Next he get's T'd for protesting a wrong charge call on Roy. The list goes on, but I do not think that GU got homered or lost because of injuries.

History will show that Morrison and Batista, with the young Pargo and the rest are great group, but UW just did a better job preparing and had a better game plan than Maryland and Michigan State. I don't think UW is in a class with UConn, but I do think that they are the best team this year in the state of Washington.

The best team won, both teams put out incredible efforts and were well coached and that's all that happened here.

[UA Direct]

Can we get an IP ban please???

I second that notion.

Allowing someone like that to post on this forum is equivalent to inviting a serial child rapist to move in with your wife and 6 daughters!!

Pure shiit, all shiit, nothing but shiit, all the shiiting time...

Classic Basnight.

Raivio was out, but Bobby Jones had him pinned for the whole time he was in and GU looked better without him.
I didn't see the game, but wouldn't Jones have been on Morrison, with a UW guard guarding Raivio?

[KrazyCatFan]

Actually if i remember correct Roy was on Morrison most of the night.

WTF? This can't be serious, can it? Reese the rapper and record label pimp! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAA!!!!

Please say this isn't the same Basnight either. If that's the case, I don't think I'll ever be able to read any of what these guys say without laughing the entire time.

Now that I think about it, how would that be any different then how it is right now?!?

[WildcatPaulG]

We should allow Reese back, just so we can humor ourselves over the record label/clothing line.

Watch out, Diddy! Here comes Pizzy!

[Jim Basnight]

You have no taste. As far as not taking anything I say seriously, I could care less. My track record speaks for itself. By the way that's not "Reese". You have no life, if all you have to do is chase around looking to find out who "Reese" is.

Thought this one deserved a bump. I love when idiots project teams during a string of meaningless games against inferior opponents.

Guess what...? UW ain't all that.

They could still win it though, but they've got the hard road now. Sort of funny that the Basnight allstars are still looking up at one of the lesser AZ teams in recent memory.

UW is the new UCLA of the 60's and 70's.
They are in first place in the Pac10 and currently ranked number 1 in the AP poll.

Yes azcatfanatic I (UW) did invent the game of basketball. It all started one fine sunny (as it always is in Seattle) day here at UW. I was bored after throwing 200 yard football passes to myself. I thought why can't I/we throw something a shorter distance. My assistant a guy named Naismith was holding a peach basket .......

UW @ UA = MUST WIN for UW.

Piss off, pretenders. You had your run, just like UO. You had your run, it's over unless Hawes = G-d.

[Jim Basnight]

but AZ is definitely going to have a tough time in a few years replacing Lute Olson. Hawes is not god, but he's a much better Center prospect than UW has ever had and they've had some great ones come through there. What post player played at AZ that looked as good as a high schooler as Spencer? UW will be very good this year, next year and the next, so what the **** are you talking about?

So i checked out the recordings...liked what i heard...good acoustics! No bad rep for you J/k :lol2: As for UW, your a fan, i get that...I like UCLA..Arizona and UW round out my top 3...You get yourself in some heated debates...it's ok to just ignore some of the comments...it is an AZ site they have their opinions and you have yours...you don't have to agree (it rarely happens) But kudos on not backing down!

Have a Smurfette Morning!:smokin:

[WildcatPaulG]

but AZ is definitely going to have a tough time in a few years replacing Lute Olson.

Typical crap. Lute's not going away til 2011. Deal with it. We'll still be stealing cats out of the Seattle area.

Hawes is not god, but he's a much better Center prospect than UW has ever had and they've had some great ones come through there.

Some great ones? Who?

What post player played at AZ that looked as good as a high schooler as Spencer?

You have to realize, Assbight, that it doesn't matter what they look like high school... but what they translate to in the college game. See Channing Frye. Although he was no slouch in high school, the kid was developed into a lottery pick... as well as being probably the only rookie that Larry Brown has ever started in his coaching career.

UW will be very good this year, next year and the next, so what the **** are you talking about?

...barring any "one and done" situations. You can't see the future.

[Auercat]

Great. Another idiot going to the "When Lute Retires Card." Save it sonny. We've been hearing that from ASU, Kansas, Texas, UCLA and other assorted fools with nothing better to say for over a decade already. It's a little bit late to be on that bandwagon Basnight, but then again UW has been nothing other than a flash in the pan in and of itself. Next time, think before you write. ;)

Bearing Down on No Guarantees How Th UA Will Be Once Lute Retires (Good or Bad). That Being Said, He's Given Every Indication That He Will Be The UA's Coach For At Least 5 More Seasons

Auercat

[Intermezzo]

UW will be very good this year, next year and the next, so what the **** are you talking about?

Actually Basnight UW will follow Oregon's path. Just wait and see. New coach comes in and has some temporary success but just doesn't have what it takes to sustain it. Happened to Kent, Lavin...and it'll happen to Romar and Floyd.

The good news is that soon you'll have a better appreciation for programs and coaches like Lute that have actually established a good amount of tradition over an extended period of time.

[Jim Basnight]

UW is building a program that will be the best in the Pac-10, if they continue moving in the same direction. Look how far they've come just since Romar was hired less than 4 years ago. UCLA is getting better as well, but I like Romar better than Howland, as the one to recruit talent over time.

AZ and Stanford will continue to be great. They both have great coaches and legacys, but I think that UW can start to be ing able to make that claim in a reasonably short period of time. All of these teams and a few others will do well in the future and the Pac-10 is a conference on the rise.

About Centers, just because your basketball knowledge is equivalent to the notion that Nirvana is the beginning of rock 'n' roll.

"Some great ones? Who?"

How about Jack Nichols, Bob Houbregs, Doug Smart, Bruno Boin, Steve Hawes, James Edwards, Chris Welp and Todd MacCulloch.

"UW will be very good this year? Um.... no...."

Oh yeah those centers tanscend the game of college basketball. Im sorry.. I was wrong..


Worry about USC? Im a fan, I dont worry, I dont live my life on the whims of a game.. If I were playing then Id worry about it, and I wouldn't be here reading a half assed journalism reject like you. Now I'll let you be to your Appleby fawning..

3 losses in a row and now you have to face USC and UCLA.... Things aren't looking too good, are they? I told you I was right about the Huskies turning into the Ducks....temporary success followed by a deep slide into the abyss.

[haji81872]

I think Washington is going to have much more to worry about concerning making the tournament then Arizona does. 6th in the conference. .500 league record. Crappy RPI. Look out.

[Jim Basnight]

I think that they could be at bottom right now. If they get it together against the LA schools and pull a couple of home wins out, they might just right the ship. It does look like both UW and AZ are not going to meet expectations, but I haven't given up hope for either team making the tournament, or for that matter ending this season with a run that makes it's fans proud.

I am not sure that any team in the top-6 in the Pac -10 is out of it, but UCLA could really put itself in the drivers seat with a win at UW next weekend and really start talk about the Dawgs non-conference schedule, even if they did turn things around enough to get into one of the top 4 spots.

I don't think it'll be that easy for the Bruins and I am feeling strangely confident about this next weekend for UW. AZ also has reason to be optimistic about next weekend, as the OR schools don't seem ready to do much damage, though Oregon lost two close ones at home against Stanford and Cal.

UCLA looks to be in shape to win this, but if they blow it this weekend in the state of WA things could change quickly for them, which would be right in character with the way this year has been all along.

Cal and Stanford also seem like they are in a position to pass up UW and AZ into the top of the league, but they have to go to WA and also play the 'Cats and each other, so that picture could easily change a lot in the next two weeks.

How big was that loss to Stanford last week after they had the game won? Washington goes on and loses to Washington State and Stanford gets two big wins on the road against the Oregon schools.

Stanford is now on a roll, their confidence is high while Washington is sliding. The Huskies need to get the last two games out of their mind and need to sweep the LA schools to get the momentum going. If they don't come out with at least a split next weekend, it could turn ugly.

UW need to sweep the LA schools next weekend, They've lost too many home games as it is, with a tough trip to the desert still to come.

Heck, even a sweep doesn't guarantee them a trip to the dance. Say, whatever happened to the newcomers THAT WILL TAKE THE REINS FROM THE DEPARTED TRIO and take the Huskies to the top of the conference THIS YEAR? This is a DOWN YEAR for the PAC, right?

[LegallyKenny]

News flash for you guys: UW ISN'T THAT GOOD.

[Aca]

I'll agree that UW is definitely not as good as I good as I thought they were in early January or so... But (like AZ) I have seen the glimpses of a solid team...not great...but a solid team that could win a game or two in the tourney. They just aren't playing well right now. They don't have the offensive firepower, they don't have good, consistent senior-play from Bobby Jones and Jamal Williams, and most importantly they don't have that on-court leadership they desperately need. All three of their senior "leaders" are frickin' mutes out there.

I'm not going to give up hope yet...I still think they'll make the tourney. A sweep next weekend is going to be tough. UCLA looks like a much better team at this point. But it's the Pac-10! So you never know what's going to happen!
