UA vs SHS

[KrazyCatFan]

im calling for a big time blow out in this one

[Chicat]

It better be a big time blowout . . . because if we struggle against The Sam Houston State College for Blind and Deaf Teachers A&M this freakin' board will melt down like at no other time in history.

Cats - 89
Nobodies - 53

[ASUHATER!]

when we beat sam houston st, we'll have to play ucf or western kentucky. and at the very least western kentucky isnt thaat bad.

[ArzCatz3]

hmm thats kinda hard to read...sry

[ZONACAT]

Won at Missouri, 6-2 on the year. Definately a team that could give us some problems if we come out cold.

[ASUHATER!]

but missouri really really sucks. they barely beat texas a&m corpus christi at the last second by 1 point. big important points about shsu: in their last 4 games they have shot 20% from 3 point land and in the first 14 minutes of their game against houston they had 15 to's...they struggle with pressure big time d's.

[HASSstafa05]

ITS MISSOURI.....

they've got nothin but a slick haired coach.

[SCCat]

Won at Missouri, 6-2 on the year. Definately a team that could give us some problems if we come out cold.

A team could bring a monkey out to randomly write Xs and Os on a chalkboard and end up outcoaching Quinn Snyder.

[azcat49]

That can't be, he's from Duke and Coach K

[popque]

I don't wanna go 0-2 against schools named Houston

[TundraCat]

Anyone who knows anything about this team could post a little info on who their players are and what type of game we might expect...

When I saw SHS in the title... I thought .. Hey are they playing Sahauro High School.. I thought we were SHS...

:)

[CatintheHeat]

Good shot in rhythm by Rodgers

[CatintheHeat]

C-Rod is taking goot shots tonight so far. Not forcing anything.

[ASUHATER!]

good, we're actually taking good shots in the flow of the offense. rodgers has 7 points and is 3-4 or 3-3 :)

[CatintheHeat]

C-Rod made a really nice pass too.

[TundraCat]

C-Rod is taking goot shots tonight so far. Not forcing anything.

Go Chris, Go.. and keep your damn Yapper shut.

That's what Ros said. :lol2:

[CatintheHeat]

Rodgers hasn't forced anything yet. Definitely his best game of the year. Of course SHS is way overmatched by UA's quickness. Nice start by the team.

[TopCat]

2 fouls on Staf.

Be interesting to see how the offense works with Staf on the bench.

[UofAcat23]

sounds like a lot of good ball movement...

[Ziggiles]

Where is newport cat to tell everyone how he hates chris rodgers... idiot.

[TopCat]

Sounds like the press is tearing SHS apart.

[TundraCat]

Nice move to the basket by Hassan

[CatintheHeat]

First bad shot by Rodgers, an NBA three with 2 defenders on him

[TundraCat]

Rodgers was floating away on the 3... and he was short

[ASUHATER!]

staf on the bench, 2 to's...some sloppy play for the cats. staf needs to be back.

[Ziggiles]

the press is to hard for SHS to handle, we are playing strong man to man defense in the half court and right now we are really moving the ball around there is little to no dribbiling going on.

[ASUHATER!]

missing shots now, forced shots, no rebounds...blah

[CatintheHeat]

UA got out of sync the same time MS went to the bench.

[TopCat]

SHS already with 8 turnovers

[Ziggiles]

Chris from deep, we are looking to swing the ball all over the place and going to the post before anything goes up very nice to see.

[ASUHATER!]

since were winning by 13 do our guys feel the need to stop playing hard or rebound?

[CatintheHeat]

Kirk is not aggressive enough in the paint. What's it going to take to light a fire under him?

[Ziggiles]

lack of defensive intensity so far. Crowd seems really dead.

[TundraCat]

since were winning by 13 do our guys feel the need to stop playing hard or rebound?


Are we watching the same game??

[ASUHATER!]

yea..they are boxing us out on every play and gettin most of the rebounds, we still have no inside presence..

OH WAIT OH SH*T THAT WAS SWEET GO M DUB!

[scumdevils86]

wow, prince, williams, dillon, bret, and staf already. niceee.

[ASUHATER!]

eeek jp dont shoot...thats ugly hahaah

nice little kiss off the glass m dub

[scumdevils86]

oh isaiah. he could have all the time in the world and he'd still miss.

[CatintheHeat]

That was a pathetic airball. Bad pass too by Fox

[TopCat]

Fox... :confused:

[TundraCat]

Nice shot Mdub

[CatintheHeat]

SHS's 2-1-2 zone is definitely packing it in, daring the Cats to shoot from the perimeter.

Nice shot MW

[TundraCat]

SHS's 2-1-2 zone is definitely packing it in, daring the Cats to shoot from the perimeter.

Nice shot MW

Could that be a reason we aren't rebounding as well :confused:

[popque]

20 point lead, 14 minutes in.

[scumdevils86]

sit fox's ass down now. sh*tty fouls, turnovers, airballs...lord

[TopCat]

Fox... :confused:

[scumdevils86]

still question marks....but nothign like a good ole fashioned ass whoopin:D

[TopCat]

15 turnovers on SHS

[CatintheHeat]

I'm conviced that Tangara needs more PT.

[CactusPants]

Tangara's play reminds me of Edgerson. I think in 3 years Tangara will be better than Edgerson on the court, but I doubt he'll match his leadership.

[CatintheHeat]

Nice interior shooting by MT. Nice Offensive Rebound too.

[TopCat]

I'm conviced that Tangara needs more PT.
Has to be a better option than Fox...

[ASUCatfan]

Fox is the best we have at making entry passes, apparently. Tangara looks great. Its nice to see Rogers paly so well.

[scumdevils86]

let's pretend fox doesn't exist right now.

[popque]

12 assists for UA, according to the Live Stats

[ASUHATER!]

fox sucks, tangara is showing some stuff but is still raw

sure shs has 15 to's but we also have like 10 to's

[TopCat]

Great shooting stats so far.

60%
50% 3pt
80% FT

[ASUHATER!]

and i think arizona now has like 13 turnovers....good thing shs sucks.

[CatintheHeat]

Mo-Tang is rebounding with authority. He doesn't lose the ball either. I haven't seen rebounding like that since Michael Wright.

[CactusPants]

That makes those 3 misses ok. SICK alley-oop.

[MustafaFan15]

I hate having to rely on this Yahoo game tracker thing. I like being able to watch the game so I actually know how they are playing, but at least we are blowing them out.

Gonzaga is losing to E. Washington though in the 2nd half.

[azcat49]

Mo Tang is someone you can really root for

[TopCat]

Nice to see the team come out hard right out of the gate. This game feels like business as usual. Good to see (or hear in my case...)

The 3 balls are dropping tonight.

So much for the shortened rotation. Only guy who hasn't played is Bagga.

[CatintheHeat]

That was a good half. I know it's SHS, but you can see UA is playing a lot better as a team. Nice flow in the offense.

Fox needs to take the seat on the bench past the walk-ons.

That's the first time I've seen Tangara's potential. Definitely his best game to date.

[DCCat]

What a turnoverfest. SHS with 18, UA with 14. UA has more "unforced" turnovers (not resulting from steals), 10-9. That indicates very sloppy play on our part -- loss of concentration.

On the other hand, 14 assists on 18 buckets is very nice for us.

We have a slight edge on the boards, but SHS has more offensive boards. Our frontcourt actually has almost half of our boards tonight, 8 out of 18.

[azcat49]

That rotation will get shorter come Wed and then especially next week

[DCCat]

That's the first time I've seen Tangara's potential. Definitely his best game to date.
He also had three fouls in five minutes.

[CatintheHeat]

He also had three fouls in five minutes.

That's obviously not very good. But at least the time Tangara was productive when he was on the floor.

[DCCat]

Gonzaga's in another tight one with Washington. Um, EASTERN Washington, that is. Tied with 10 minutes to go.

[ZONACAT]

Nice to see Rodgers hitting his shots, I'm not gettin the game so I have no idea if he is waiting for quality looks or not. Anyone want to fill me in on that?

/see I can say something positive, although I did have a hunch because I picked him for RAP.

/see I can say something positive, although I did have a hunch because I picked him for RAP.

Most of his shots have been pretty good looks within the flow of the offense. One particularly stood out to me as not being within the offense, but he hit that shot...

I got him in RAP too. In fact my RAP says

Rodgers 10

+40.

[ZONACAT]

Thanks for the report, that is great news.

[CatintheHeat]

The bench is looking pretty good and seem to have more energy than the starters who left.

[TundraCat]

Raining Threes

[Irish27]

Is Jawann at the game?

[TopCat]

Goddamnit...

Put Staf back in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!










I need him to cover his RAP price! :lol2:

[CactusPants]

Granted it's SHSU, but this performance is worth those two extra fawking points from the AP! But who cares, rankings are just rankings.

Saturdays performance, today, and hopefully Wed. is EXACTLY what this team needs for its confidence after a reltively hard opening schedule.

[azcat49]

JMAC is at the game

[azcat49]

How bad is Missouri

[CatintheHeat]

WK will be much better than SHS. It was a nightmare the last time WK entered McKale. Their best player tore his AC (can't remember the name) and UA played the best full court press I've ever seen. We bet them by 40+ points.

[TopCat]

26 turnovers for SHS. Let's force 30!


The only really bad stat is rebounding, and 14 turnovers.

24 assists and 13 steals are awesome stats.

[CatintheHeat]

Hell is freezing over. Fox make a bucket.

[UA Direct]

Marcus Williams;

8-9 FG (89%)
2-2 3PT
8 pts.

Oh it's already frozen... I live there

[azcat49]

Thats why they drink so much in Wisconsin

[TopCat]

Happy PT board tonight... :cheers:

40 point blowout.

[TopCat]

Bagga!!!!

[mongrelcat]

wow 10/16 3pt percentage? wow.

[HASSstafa05]

if bagga made that 3..

i would have stabbed my self 3 times.

[UA Direct]

Please don't tudor Jawann.:)

My 1/! key doesn't make contact very well.

tudor? Isn't that like a house??:D

[TopCat]

scrubs are jacking 3s. Wiped out that nice 3pt stat in about 3 minutes...

[ZONACAT]

Scrubs better be running laps after the game than. WTF?

[azcat49]

Bagga down to 50% on the year

[CactusPants]

Good Win:robevans:

[TopCat]

87-51

Routine blowout. Nice to see!

[CatintheHeat]

Haven't played really good competition for awhile, but the Cats appear to be getting their confidence back. At Half-time Lute Olson said the team has been playing a lot better in practice the last week and a half.

[ASUCatfan]

As much as everyone is bagging on Fox, I think he could really be an asset if he was in the game with Walters. He made some really nice entry passes to Tangara. I don't think he looked as bad as everyone else apparently did.
