'Cats vs. Aztecs

[ASUCatfan]

Should be a good game. I hope I don't earn the lifetime "official game thread" starting ban.

Go 'Cats!

[ASUHATER!]

time to kick quetzalcoatl's ass

[RichardCranium]

Pre-game show on radio now...

[CBCat]

Damn gonna miss
off to birthday party
gotta pick my battles and this game isn't one of them. We'll have bigger fish to fry.
We win by 6
count it!
Chase does not let us loose although he may have a few nerves to start!!

[jAZ]

what channel is the game on?

[ASUHATER!]

channel 22 on cox in tucson, if you dont have cox its comcast 17 i think

[CatintheHeat]

what channel is the game on?

In Tucson channel 22 for Cox and 17 for Comcast.

[CBCat]

Where do I go for radio again?

[DiehardDave]

KKNT.com, but they may have a live stream working on The Proud Tradition if you have TVU.

I picked AZ at 89-81 in another thread since that was the score in 2003.

The TVU stream is almost working!

[Dosia]

did you hear all the boos for chase?

[ghostwhitehorse]

Bear Down!

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

if Zona can win this, HUGE win imo. I think they will. This will be a tough game.

[lofty]

Ok, Cats! Let's get it done!

[BlueMikey]

Where are those reporters? There's this huge wall behind them and people walking around behind.

Also, no commercials? Just a live feed during timeouts? This is so bizarre, how did this not make it onto a bigger broadcast?

Edit: Oh, never mind.

[jAZ]

what station is channel 17 and/or 22? I'm in a hospital and they don't seem to have a standard cable package.

[gman4gov]

Channel 22

[aepiua]

Ok enough with the high school football here in Phoenix, the game is over, switch already.

[MustafaFan15]

Back to the blue unis! Let's go Cats!

[RichardCranium]

The TVU stream is working perfectly: 41660 Go UA Cats

[CatintheHeat]

The TVU stream is working perfectly: 41660 Go UA Cats

That is cool. Nice to see you be able to see the game down under. :)

[RichardCranium]

That is cool. Nice to see you be able to see the game down under. :)

Yeah Man! Me too!

[BlueMikey]

Those San Diego cheerleaders...holy crap.

[BlueMikey]

Haha, wow, the announcer brought up our raping of Michigan in '93 (New Years Night, I think?). That's quite a memory.

[lofty]

WTF?? It's 7:45 and the game hasn't started yet. What time was it supposed to tip off?

[wosn99]

what station is channel 17 and/or 22? I'm in a hospital and they don't seem to have a standard cable package.

Is it that time? Is JJ due any minute? Congrats man!

[mytwocents]

Yeah Baby!!! The Internet Is A Wonderful Thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[aepiua]

WTF?? It's 7:45 and the game hasn't started yet. What time was it supposed to tip off?

My GF said her cable guide showed the tip at 8

[CatintheHeat]

That is a ticky-tac foul on Ivan.

[BlueMikey]

Haha, that poor guy blowing that dunk.

[ghostwhitehorse]

That is a ticky-tac foul on Ivan.

Home cookin'?

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats are looking GOOD right now.

[RichardCranium]

so kirk isn't the only one that misses dunks

[lofty]

Sounds like we're quicker and getting transition buckets!

[ASUHATER!]

some major home cookin' goin on here with the refs

[Volatile Mix]

The TVU stream is working perfectly: 41660 Go UA Cats

link?

[CatintheHeat]

Even though there has been a few mistakes, I like the unselfishness.

[ASUHATER!]

oh man that missed dunk was so freakin funny

[aepiua]

OMG, enough with the high school football recap!!!

[ASUCatfan]

Sounds like the game is going well. Its probably not as fun as watching the credits after a High School football game but.... :angry:

[CatintheHeat]

Chase is a little out of sync.

The announcers said the Aztecs so far are spoiling the fun. And the Cats are ahead. :confused:

[coeagle]

Mustafa seems to be playing really well. I wish Jawann and Chase would knock down their threes, though.

[ASUHATER!]

Chase is a little out of sync.

The announcers said the Aztecs so far are spoiling the fun. And the Cats are ahead. :confused:

yea i dont know why he said that really...sdsu is down 12-8 and they are spoiling our fun?

[MustafaFan15]

We are struggling from 3 point land tonight, hopefully that will change.

[gman4gov]

Hopefully, we should tire them out towards the end of the 1st.

[Dosia]

once our shots start dropping this could get ugly

[aepiua]

damn it, thought we might get lucky on that out of bounds

[CatintheHeat]

DD for 3

[ghostwhitehorse]

DD for 3!

[MustafaFan15]

Seems like we are turning the ball over a bit too much tonight.

[CatintheHeat]

Really bad pass by Staf and an easy 2 on the other end.

[RichardCranium]

link?

You need the TVU player. See the "Streaming of Today's Game Thread" on proud tradition.

[ASUHATER!]

we are playing like GARBAGE

[Dosia]

Seems like we are turning the ball over a bit too much tonight.

yup

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

yet, still up by 4

[coeagle]

Really bad pass by Staf and an easy 2 on the other end.

No kidding, what was he thinking on that one? Dillon just made a horrible one too. If these guys can just get rid of the stupid mistakes this shouldnt be a contest.

[Irish27]

Steve Quis is one of the announcers for tonight's game and he is an Arizona graduate and former sports director at KOLD.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

who are the NBA prospects on that team??? the commentator keeps saying this.

[ASUCatfan]

My girlfriend's reaction to their mascot: "What are they supposed to be? The Trojan Nazis?" :lol2:

[ghostwhitehorse]

Road trip fatigue, maybe?

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

they really arent good...

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats are actually playing some good help defense.

[Dosia]

marcus!

[CatintheHeat]

Ivan's second foul. He's out for the half. Got faked out bigtime.

[MustafaFan15]

Nice pass by Chase!

[CatintheHeat]

Great pass by Chase. :)

[lofty]

Chase is clearly affected by playing in San Diego. He's way off tonight. But others are picking up slack. Mostly.

[CatintheHeat]

Nic for 3......about time

[Dosia]

nice wise.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Nic!

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

these refs are making BAD calls

[aepiua]

Ivan's second foul. He's out for the half. Got faked out bigtime.

He's still in there, it was Marcus who picked up the 2nd foul.

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats are playing in overdrive and extremely fun to watch. :)

[coeagle]

Nice bench contributions so far tonight.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

yup the bench is definitely helping. gotta be proud of the team!

[RubenD]

Seems like we are turning the ball over a bit too much tonight.

and we're not scoring many points.

[MustafaFan15]

Nice move to the basketball by Nic, he is playing well tonight.

[Volatile Mix]

can someone put this on youtube when its over? serious rep would follow

[CatintheHeat]

When (if) the Cats get this high paced game perfected. They are going to be a magical team to watch.

Edit: The Aztecs are flustered.

[F Duke]

If you have high speed internet, you can get the game online here:

Go to www.tvunetworks.com/downloads/player.htm

Download their program. After it's downloaded, a media player will pop up with a list of programs. It's the one marked gouacats. (It's free)

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Zonas d has been great

[CatintheHeat]

I tell you what. The Cats are playing like a #1 seed right now.

[alieberman]

I like that Lute is using the bench tonight.

[aepiua]

nice shot of the cheerleader

[CatintheHeat]

Walters in the game.

[Enosh]

score?

[alieberman]

Kirk is in the game!!

Go Kirk

[ghostwhitehorse]

Kirk in.

[aepiua]

38-22

[MustafaFan15]

score?

38-22

[Dosia]

lmao at kirk running around like a chicken with his head cut off...

[CatintheHeat]

score?

38-22 Cats at the half.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Great Half

[alieberman]

38-22

halftime

[jajoyce]

lmao at kirk running around like a chicken with his head cut off...

yeah he is, if we were not up by 16 i would be yelling at the tv.

[CatintheHeat]

Keep this up and Kirk can get some important PT

[lofty]

Wow! I certainly didn't expect to be up 16 at half! SWEET!

[F Duke]

Great finish to the half! We played D very well. Kirk got in for the last two positions.

[popque]

Announcer said "mononuculosis"

Sounds like Dubya's moonlighting as a broadcaster.

[alieberman]

yeah he is, if we were not up by 16 i would be yelling at the tv.

He played for less than 60 seconds- give the kid a break.

[popque]

can someone put this on youtube when its over? serious rep would follow

Does YouTube take 2-hour videos? I thought it was only short stuff.

[Enosh]

Thanks for the score updates....Hows MWill looking?

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

MWill played a great half. imo, I think around tournament time, he will be our go-to guy. Zona willl lean on him for important plays. He played within the offense for the first time in awhile.

[Air]

Marcus looked good. Knocked down some shots without forcing them, passed it around a lot, went hard after boards.

[MacKiernan]

Great to see Kirk back on the court.

[Two Bits]

If the Aztecs could make some 3s, this game would be a bit closer.

Lute must be pretty confident of a win; he's got a lot of bench players in the
rotation tonite.

[coeagle]

Good to see Kirk get in, even if it was only for 90 seconds or so. Lets hope he can get himself into shape at least in time for Pac 10 play.

[Enosh]

Sounds like our defense is looking good....I thought I heard sdsu was the third best team in the nation at the 3

I'm sure this has been asked, but is the game on TV in the phoenix area?

[RichardCranium]

Marcus looked good. Knocked down some shots without forcing them, passed it around a lot, went hard after boards.

Your Avatar...How did you know that's exactly what I had for lunch? Along with a nice Coopers Sparkling Ale it went down very nicely thank you.

[coeagle]

I'm sure this has been asked, but is the game on TV in the phoenix area?

Only on Cox cable i believe. Channel 7? There was a thread on the main board about it.

[HiCat]

I'm sure this has been asked, but is the game on TV in the phoenix area?

Try channel 7..

[ASUHATER!]

I'm sure this has been asked, but is the game on TV in the phoenix area?

cox channel 7 i believe in phoenix

[ASUHATER!]

aghghghghghh!!!!! make a shot from close range! its a layup. geez

[CatintheHeat]

Marcus playing great tonight. :)

Not a very good game for Chase. Excusable

[lofty]

Marcus had a great half. Best this season for him. Hope it continues.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Chase is NERVOUS

[Dosia]

chase is having a bad game

[AZCatFANatic]

score please???? I am out of town and away from updated scores

[aepiua]

40-24

[MustafaFan15]

40-24

[ghostwhitehorse]

score please???? I am out of town and away from updated scores

40-24 'Cats

[aepiua]

Chase is way off tonight

[coeagle]

Sloppy as hell to start the second half.

[lofty]

How about the DEFENSE! I'm loving it.

[Dosia]

maybe bench chase and put in nic. give him some PT

[AZCatFANatic]

We looking OK though?

[ASUHATER!]

definitely a down game for chase, whoever called the hometown curse was right. he'll be just fine :)

[AzDave]

Sounds like we're playing fairly well, but maybe a little to quick and careless at times.

[jajoyce]

we must be like 1-8 in the second half

[lofty]

Sounds like we're rebounding well too. Extremely well. On both ends. I don't think SDST is getting second looks and we ARE.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Sounds like we're playing fairly well, but maybe a little to quick and careless at times.

exactly...put this team away

[Enosh]

Not the second half woes again!

[coeagle]

Sounds like we're playing fairly well, but maybe a little to quick and careless at times.

Thats actually exactly how they are playing. Going too fast at times.

[MustafaFan15]

They better not let this team back into the game. How many turnovers do we have for the game?

[CatintheHeat]

staf my make some bad mistakes. But this year it's not seeming to get to his head and he still contributes. I really like Staf this year.

[alieberman]

Not the second half woes again!

Chase is having the home again woes.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Chase is having the home again woes.

Ya. . . there go my prediction! :roll:

[lofty]

Come on guys... don't let them make a run.. let's make our own!

[CatintheHeat]

BTW I head the scummies just hired Erickson

[lofty]

M Will sure is boarding well. Just dominating the boards. He's easily got a double double already. 15 and 10 right now.

[coeagle]

Marcus is really hitting the glass tonight. Hes playing very well. Its nice to see that even when SDSU trys to start a little run the guys just continue to attack the basket and keep this game where they want it.

[alieberman]

Ya. . . there go my prediction! :roll:

RAP rule #1- Never pick a player when they play back in his hometown.

That's RAP 101.

[RichardCranium]

Does anyone else think that the on screen scorecard is in a very irritating spot?

I much prefer it in a ribbon along the top or bottom - anywhere - but out of the bloody action!

[ghostwhitehorse]

RAP rule #1- Never pick a player when they play back in his hometown.

That's RAP 101.

Good thing then we didn't have RAP back when Sean Elliott was playing. . .

[F Duke]

Nice dish by Nic. He's going to be great next year. He's not trying to do too much. I'm ecstatic to see Marcus playing well.

[Enosh]

score?

=)

[RichardCranium]

BTW I head the scummies just hired Erickson

Wrong forum, but is Erickson "powerful"?

[ghostwhitehorse]

Nice dish by Nic. He's going to be great next year. He's not trying to do too much. I'm ecstatic to see Marcus playing well.

He is starting to remember he is point guard not a short shooting guard.

[aepiua]

49-33

[Dosia]

did you see that chase poster?

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

He is starting to remember he is point guard not a short shooting guard.

haha yup

[RichardCranium]

I see what you guys are saying about the 1-3-1 zone. It just doesn't look effective. Dillon is running his ass off on the base line to no real effect.

[ASUHATER!]

51-37

[MustafaFan15]

51-40, this team's inability to put teams away is just frustrating...

[BlueMikey]

God, down to 11. Please tell me this isn't happening on the road again.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Wise is out of control...slow down little guy

[ASUHATER!]

were playing like total complete garbage...we really really can't put anyone away. this game will be a new season low for points too, we'll be lucky to hit even 65 points

[Enosh]

maybe they are practicing for wash st

[ghostwhitehorse]

were playing like total complete garbage...we really really can't put anyone away. this game will be a new season low for points too, we'll be lucky to hit even 65 points

We are playing like the number one team in the country (as per the polls)? :p

[SCCat]

were playing like total complete garbage...we really really can't put anyone away. this game will be a new season low for points too, we'll be lucky to hit even 65 points

You guys need to slow down a little. This is an away game at a fringe top 25 team. A 10 point win would be great.

[alieberman]

They made this run with Staf on the bench. Now he's back... so let's see if we grow this lead again.

[ASUHATER!]

You guys need to slow down a little. This is an away game at a fringe top 25 team. A 10 point win would be great.

but what im concerned about is that we let the lead just shrink and shrink and shrink and have 0 killer instinct. none.

[MustafaFan15]

They just need to keep pushing the ball, keep the tempo up, that's when they play the best basketball.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

whew

[CatintheHeat]

Wow! It's like SDSU went to sleep for a second and the Cats took advantage.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Marcus has been impressive with his rebounds. Impressed!

[Dosia]

when shakur goes out the team doesnt play so hot.

[BlueMikey]

OMG! They have an Ooh-Ahh man! And he's big and fat and black! And does the splits!

[Zona Dave]

Ivan about time!! The shooting stats for the game look so poor.... Except Marcus Williams.

[bhanson]

Didn't think Irad was that quick

[ghostwhitehorse]

Wow! It's like SDSU went to sleep for a second and the Cats took advantage.

And that is the diff this years team has from last years. . . you don't nap for a second on this team. :hyper:

[SCCat]

but what im concerned about is that we let the lead just shrink and shrink and shrink and have 0 killer instinct. none.

Vegas has us as a 3.5 point favorite in this game. That's what the knowing public (and believe me, the betters are complete degenerates that know everything) though we would win by, and it's almost certain we'll win by more than that. That's a VERY good win.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Didn't think Irad was that quick

It's called "crafty". :D

[Dosia]

whats up with the banana? and williams is playing really good

[UTAHCATFAN]

Score??? Has J. Hill played???

[CatintheHeat]

Staf!!!!!!!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Score??? Has J. Hill played???

60-45 'Cats and no sign of J-Hill

[Zona Dave]

Staf really has played extremely well thus far this year.

[CatintheHeat]

this is a game for Marcus. :)

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Great Win!!!!!!!

[Zona Dave]

15 boards for Marcus to go along with 21 points. Where has he been?

[ghostwhitehorse]

M-Will is back! :hyper: :D

[SCCat]

I hate the chant, but as payback I'd like to see an "Overrated" chant from U of A fans.

[Irish27]

The fans are leaving the building! Very nice win. MVP goes to Marcus.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Shakur has been awesome this year

[coeagle]

Man, Marcus is just outhustling everyone on the boards.

[ZONACAT]

A "Chase is laughing" chant would be sweet right now.

[SCCat]

The fans are leaving the building! Very nice win. MVP goes to Marcus.

If he buys into the team concept (which will help his draft spot), we are a final four contender.

[Zona Dave]

Without MWill our shooting stats are 15 for 40. That just won't get it done. Unless we are playing Duke's schedule.:lol2:

[popque]

seems safe to say this now...

Butler lost to Indiana State tonight, so there's a good chance that UA will now have the (completely meaningless) #1 RPI after today.

[CatintheHeat]

Chase wasn't even in the game (psychologically) and the Cats were still effective. That has to be a good sign.

[Verdl]

For those using TVU, has your link gone down?

[TheCat]

Mwill looking good...

[RichardCranium]

Oh man, I stuffed up and lost the feed! It isn't coming back! Oh NOOOOOOOO!

[SCCat]

Also our D, and particularly the 2-3, was pretty darn good today. Amazaingly, we need to work on our outside shooting at this point.

[alieberman]

For those of you saying we look terrible, just keep in mind that this type of game (a tough road game during finals) is a game we usually have lost over the last several years. SDSU is a good team and we played a mediocre game and are up by almost 20.

Let's have some persepective.

[TheCat]

15 boards for Marcus to go along with 21 points. Where has he been?

There goes my RAP

[mytwocents]

My game on TVU went out??

[iiyani]

I lost the TVU feed?

You're right. This is the first game I got to watch this year, and everyone looks pretty good. Chase had an off night, but I see a ton of hustle and everyone willing to contribute. MWil was crazy this game!

[gato salvaje]

I lost the TVU feed?

same here.

update?

[aepiua]

64-48

[MustafaFan15]

64-48

[SCCat]

update?

We win by double digits, beatdown style.

[aepiua]

66-48

[ghostwhitehorse]

6648 'Cats

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats should be a top 10 ranked team now.

[Taylor]

There goes my RAP

Mine too, who gives a ****?


Thank God Marcus finally woke up.

[aepiua]

69-48, Irad for 3

[Zona Dave]

Final 69-48

[ghostwhitehorse]

69-48, Irad for 3

. . .and that the final!

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats D-E-F-E-N-S has arrive. SDSU held to 48 points.

[Enigma]

good call Seth Davis

[coeagle]

Very nice win for the cats and now they have a little time off to rest.

[Verdl]

Wow, 21 point win. Very nice and a great game. For everyone that helped set up the TVU feed, THANK YOU!! It was awesome getting to see the Cats play today.

[lofty]

Great game, Cats! Game Ball to M-Will! 21 and 16. WOW! Chase with the **** game tonight, but doesn't hurt at all. Staf solid with 14 points, 8 boards and a mere 5 assists tonight.

SOLID, SOLID win. I love it.

[iiyani]

Absolutely on the TVU feed!!! It was great to see the game!!

[CatMG]

For those of you saying we look terrible, just keep in mind that this type of game (a tough road game during finals) is a game we usually have lost over the last several years. SDSU is a good team and we played a mediocre game and are up by almost 20.

Let's have some persepective.

Being out of town, I haven't been able to watch and have periodically been checking the score on Yahoo. When I saw us up 38-22 at the half, I must admitt I was stunned that 1) we were up by that much and 2) that we only allowed 22 points in a half. To think that people are saying that we look terrible when many on this board were HOPING for a win and many of the so called experts were picking us to lose (and quite frankly it wasn't a stretch for them to say so). Hopefully this team can continue to play "terrible" as it racks up more and more wins.

[ghostwhitehorse]

The Cats D-E-F-E-N-S has arrive. SDSU held to 48 points.

Eat that UCLA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ASUCatfan]

1-0 as a thread starter. :D What a fun game to watch. The team is really starting to come together.
