Cal lost both Wilkes and recently Hardin to injuries negating any possible mismatch problem AZ would have in facing them. AZ rolls the Bears easily tonight.

[RichardCranium]

There better not be any reason to change the lucky costuming today. It's too cold to get nekkid.

[CatintheHeat]

Not too cold in Tucson, but very wet. We received rain most of the day.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Anybody having trouble with KKNT? The link is fuctioning but nobody seems to be home. . . (and I used iTunes to check my speakers so the problem does not seem to be at my end.)

[Verdl]

Use this link. Once you register you'll have the audio.

[Verdl]

Man, this is a scary team! We will go far this year playing like this!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Oh, obligitory beer notice: Pike's Extra Stout. . . goooood stuff! :D

[ecurbh]

69% shooting in the first half?!? Holy cow!

[CatintheHeat]

Wow! I'd have to say that the latter part of the half shows just how good the Cats can be. Incredible bastketball. Haven't seen basketball like that by the Cats in a long time. Anyone doubt now that this team is special?

They were rusty at the start, but when the Cats play in sync I've seen no team better. Wow!

BTW, I am not posting for the second half. Seems almost everyone posting is listening anyway.

Oh, and one of the Detroit assistant coaches puked on the court at KU tonight.

[ZonaDefender1]

[NorCalCat]

Oh....and I'm working on a Stella right now. It's been out in the ice chest getting chilly all afternoon.

[davoaz]

My fault, tuned in late and we were down by 4. Soon as I b*tched when I saw the score Cats went on their run.

I was out buying a case of 90 Schilling since its looking I'm going to get snowed out of work again tomorrow.

[ZonaDefender1]

Beer Check

Mgd... Three Left.. What You Drinking And How Many Left??

[Verdl]

I've got to run to a 1 o'clock appointment. I feel we've got a pretty good handle on this game so if I don't make it back by the end of the game, I should be able to read about the win. I'm calling 17 points...

[ghostwhitehorse]

13 assists. . . NICE!

[ghostwhitehorse]

What a wanker.

he is just outraging me altogether

[ZonaDefender1]

Come on DD

[ZonaDefender1]

OK lineup switch

[lofty]

Oh, give ole Bob a break. Sitton's the dumbass. He f'ks it up. Calls players by wrong names (at least 3 times tonight) and otherwise fk's things up.. just called Duke the Blue DEMONS, right now. Perfect example. I like ole Bob.

[lofty]

Nic Wise is clearly not ready.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Marcus layup. 79-54 'Cats

[GatesPass]

CAL will be lucky to win 3 more games this season. At least they got a few wins in this season.


.

[lofty]

Shak should get the triple double. One assist and one rebound short right now.

[ghostwhitehorse]

CAL will be lucky to win 3 more games this season. At least they got a few wins in this season.

They do have ASu on there schedual. . .

81-56 'Cats

[ghostwhitehorse]

Shak should get the triple double. One assist and one rebound short right now.

Somebody tell Lute quick!

[ZonaDefender1]

Nic Wise is clearly not ready.

he reminds me of the freshman wil bynum... he needs more time

[WayneNewton]

Does Cal play defense? At all? Even a little?

[ZonaCats8]

Shak should get the triple double. One assist and one rebound short right now.

Really? cbs sportsline has him at 6 pts, 6 reb, 8 ast.

[ghostwhitehorse]

he reminds me of the freshman wil bynum... he needs more time

Except Nic will listen to Lute . . . not sure if Wil gave more than half an ear to what the Coach was saying. . .

[ZonaDefender1]

Jordan Hill=W

[lofty]

Wait.. Sitton now says that was Shak's 8th board after saying he had 9 about five minutes ago. He has 9 assists for sure.

[ZonaDefender1]

Except Nic will listen to Lute . . . not sure if Wil gave more than half an ear to what the Coach was saying. . .

he didnt at ga tech..

[ghostwhitehorse]

Jordan Hill=W

*deep voice* OOOOH! YAAAAH!

[ghostwhitehorse]

DD and free throws = :(

[ZonaDefender1]

oh god.. DD just hit 1...

[ZonaCats8]

Put in Fendi!!!!!!!!!!

[lofty]

Shak has 8,8 and 9. Never mind what I said earlier. Well, wait.. 9 boards for Shak now. 8, 9 and 9. Guess he's one bucket, one assist and one board off.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Shak has 8,8 and 9. Never mind what I said earlier. Well, wait.. 9 boards for Shak now. 8, 9 and 9. Guess he's one bucket, one assist and one board off.

Per Yahoo. .. he has 10 points. . .

[lofty]

J-hill!!!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Hill dunk 87- 62 'Cats

[ZonaDefender1]

Im not worried about no motherf&^%$n fouls... give me the mother******* ball and ill score every mother******* time ill score.. put me at center ill school shaq.. at foward ill punk jefferson.. at point guard ill school mother****** shakur because Jordan Hill=W

[lofty]

He just went out. To boos! LOL. Looks like Lute didn't know.

[ZonaCats8]

Per Yahoo. .. he has 10 points. . .

How come every site has different stats, especially when it comes to points, do they just make stuff up?

[ghostwhitehorse]

We are the Bruins as far as freethrows go. . .

[lofty]

So Shak's line apparently is what? I haven't gotten it straight yet. 10,9,9?

[ZonaCats8]

So Shak's line apparently is what? I haven't gotten it straight yet. 10,9,9?

Nobody knows.

[ZonaDefender1]

8-9-9

[lofty]

8, 9 and 9, I guess. One off in each category. Solid game. Just shows how his role isn't to score.

[ghostwhitehorse]

I *heart* J-Hill! :D (platonically of course! )

[RichardCranium]

CBS is giving rebounds and points to different players than the radio, so I think there is a good case to be made that the scorers are having a bad night tonight.

[ZonaDefender1]

MoTang!!!!!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Fendi in.

[ZonaDefender1]

Bagga Time!!!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Fendi layup 90-69 'Cats

[ghostwhitehorse]

Bagga foul! :lol:

[ZonaDefender1]

Bagga in the scorebook

[ghostwhitehorse]

Layup Bagga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Oh, and a J-Hill was fouled (uncalled. . . )

[ZonaDefender1]

how far do we go ???

[ghostwhitehorse]

WTF fang and wilks consecutive 3's in 12 seconds? *sigh*

[ZonaCats8]

uh...How did we end up with only a 9 point win?

[ZonaDefender1]

vancouver trip is on FSN

[ZonaDefender1]

uh...How did we end up with only a 9 point win?

NIC WISE CANT SHOOT THATS HOW...

[ghostwhitehorse]

Bench needs MAJOR work on the D and ballhandling departments. Yeeeeesh. (hope nobody put money on the over. . . )

[CatMG]

I know Lute doesn't wnat to run the score up but man, if somebody looks at the final score (without watching the game) they say, wow the Cats didn't win by all that much, a pretty close game (a 9 point win at home over one of the poorer Pac-10 teams. B ut hell, they had a 29 point lead what only seemed like minutes ago.

[Chicat]

People who want to know will look at the post game write-ups, not just the box score, or they will have watched at least part of the game (I'm talking about national opinion makers and anyone who is an above average fan of Pac-10 hoops). The bench got torched, but all you really need to know about this game is the field goal percentages, rebounds, and assists of all 5 starters...

[ZonaCats8]

How come Cal is a Jordan school? Also, why is Cinci?

[ZonaDefender1]

How come Cal is a Jordan school? Also, why is Cinci?

they are a nike school but there basketball team wears jordan... north carolina does the same, football wears nike, basketball jordan.. its a sub marketing nike plot,

[ZonaCats8]

they are a nike school but there basketball team wears jordan... north carolina does the same, football wears nike, basketball jordan.. its a sub marketing nike plot,

Yea, I figured that only the basketball team wore Jordan stuff. I was just wondering why of all the nike schools Cinci and Cal would get the Jordan designation, just kinda odd.

[ZonaDefender1]

truthfully UA if they push the issue we could do it.. but i think the marketing department never even thought about it or has not pursued it...

correct me if i'm wrong, but arizona is a nike elite squad. we get shoes no other school has access to. jordan status would be a downgrade.

[ZonaCats8]

correct me if i'm wrong, but arizona is a nike elite squad. we get shoes no other school has access to. jordan status would be a downgrade.

Aren't there only 3 Jordan schools? Which would make that an upgrade, but I wouldn't want it. I think it's weird having any school other than UNC having the Jordan status.

[ZonaDefender1]

correct me if i'm wrong, but arizona is a nike elite squad. we get shoes no other school has access to. jordan status would be a downgrade.

ur right thats why they made those arizona shoes. oregon is a nike elite school to tell u the company we are in...
