Refreshing and encouraging.

[JimmyPeterson]

arizona 6-7
santa clara 1-5

15:30 left in the first half arizona up 12-3 time out budinger and hill have 4 each; juddy and horne have 2 each

[JimmyPeterson]

Granted, we played Miss. Valley State, and now Santa Clara, but how long has it been since an AZ BBall team has started out so fast like this?

Refreshing and encouraging.

Agreed. Coming out with a sense of urgency that we need thse wins regardless of where/who we're playing.

By the way ... Brian Jeffries is a great play-by-play guy ... I think , what about you guys?

[JimmyPeterson]

[Gronk4Heisman]

Nice, I like how this team has gone for the throat from the get after that UAB loss. Yes I realize the competion is week, but so was Sonoma State and FAU, but they didn't come out like this.

[slimcat]

Fogg checking in.

[JimmyPeterson]

[slimcat]

Another AZ travel. WTF?

[JimmyPeterson]

juddy travels another TO

[Gronk4Heisman]

Jeffries is great, I don't know why FSN-AZ doesn't get him to take over for Sitton.

[slimcat]

14-9.

[JimmyPeterson]

Jeffries is great, I don't know why FSN-AZ doesn't get him to take over for Sitton.

I agree. He's one of the best play-by-play guys I have heard in a while.

[slimcat]

Another damn Turnover.

[JimmyPeterson]

Trasolini scores ... 14-9 I know him i played him before (he's from VancouveR) big player good footwork

[slimcat]

Pennel needs to call a TO.

Santa Clara has two good bigs: Bryant and Trasolini - I posted a thread yesterday but Tras was a national Canadian team player but very, very good footwork around the hoop

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Nice to see our perimiter D has improved.

:hangref:

[JimmyPeterson]

Nice to see our perimiter D has improved.

:hangref:

no kidding -- they are working inside out -- we have not faced good bigs yet and they have trasolini and bryant who force double teams and attention

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

When will we have a good perimeter defense? It's no coincidence these teams shoot like this against us.

[JimmyPeterson]

5 teams fouls on santa clara
3 on arizona (horne 2 budinger 1)

25-25 7 mins to go first half

[Gronk4Heisman]

Teams are only 7 for 27 from 3pt the last two games

[JimmyPeterson]

When will we have a good perimeter defense? It's no coincidence these teams shoot like this against us.

[JimmyPeterson]

budinger missed 3 santa clara rebound 6 : 47 left

jimmy thx for the updates

[JimmyPeterson]

jimmy thx for the updates

No worries. Have to write a paper soon.. but will keep updating for a while.

[PieceOfMeat]

annnd another sc three.

ffs.

[JimmyPeterson]

Santa Clara recruits my area a lot since Steve Nash went there (Vancouver) so I know how Trasolini plays for sure. Not a bad player, but doesn;t have the side to match up with Hill and no shot. No need for Horne and Budinger to guard him 25 feet out.

[JimmyPeterson]

32-31 SC foster has 11 points on 4-7 shooting

[PieceOfMeat]

I like hearing chase rebounding :tup:

[JimmyPeterson]

Santa Clara is 6-9 from 3 and 12-21 from the floor ... airzona is 15-22

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

wooo Chase is the man

[JimmyPeterson]

33-32 juddy missed from 3 and budinger board and hoop

[JimmyPeterson]

missed open 3 santa clara rebound arizona judkins missed

[JimmyPeterson]

arizona ball ... judkins missed but arizona keeps the ball out of bounds

[JimmyPeterson]

fogg fouled

[JimmyPeterson]

'excellent pass by budingeR" (Jeffries).

[JimmyPeterson]

first FT by Fogg is good

[JimmyPeterson]

35-32 Arizona Fogg hits both

[PieceOfMeat]

come on jordan

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

The freshman makes his fts...awesome

[JimmyPeterson]

Arizona full court press and santa clara has an open 3 but misses

[UofAcat23]

I hear a lot of "open three" for Santa Clara...

[JimmyPeterson]

Santa Clara scores by Bryant around Hill

[PieceOfMeat]

sigh.

[JimmyPeterson]

hill has 14 points
bryant has 8 points

bryant just blocked wise and santa clara scores in transition

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Wise forcing things

[JimmyPeterson]

36-35 santa clara lavender is in

[JimmyPeterson]

budionger o foul

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

2 on Cbud

[JimmyPeterson]

foul by jordan hill

[JimmyPeterson]

36-35 santa clara ... santa clara at the line hill first foul

[JimmyPeterson]

kevin foster is looking great against us 16 points ... 38-35 sc

[PieceOfMeat]

Sooooo

38-35, we (can) get the last shot of the half.

Maybe we'll execute well

[JimmyPeterson]

35 seconds left arizona ball time out pennell 38-35 santa clara

[Gronk4Heisman]

Is Nic Wise's game more suited for KO's system?

[PieceOfMeat]

from up 12-0, to down 35-38. Ug.

[JimmyPeterson]

KO certainly liked Wise

[JimmyPeterson]

arizona spreads the floor here 17 seconds left

[JimmyPeterson]

budinger in and out 38-35 santa clara rebound juddy foul on SC

[PieceOfMeat]

yay judkins to the line...

and he nearly airballs the first throw :(

and the second is made.

36-38, losing at the half, after being up 12-0.

Not what I wanted, but lots of time left.

[gumby]

Last possession hoop! If the free throws fall ...

[JimmyPeterson]

juddy to the line 2 fouls on kevin foster for SC who has 16 points 0.5 seconds left in 1st half.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

make your fts

[JimmyPeterson]

38-36 halftime ... BAD

[Merkin]

Again, POM is in the future! About a minute ahead of Yahoo.

yay judkins to the line...

and he nearly airballs the first throw :(

and the second is made.

36-38, losing at the half, after being up 12-0.

Not what I wanted, but lots of time left.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

up 12-0, no trailing by 2. Well, there's still plenty of time. GO CATS

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Again, POM is in the future! About a minute ahead of Yahoo.

lol, I tempted to just close the internet feed, and just wait for his posts.

[84Cat]

No one has more than 2 points other than Chase & Hill! A third scorer needs to step up in the 2nd half!

[JimmyPeterson]

foster has 16
bryant has 8
rahon has 8
trasolini has 4


hill has 14
budinger has 11
juddy 3
onobun 2
fogg 2
wise 2

[gumby]

Freshman Foster with 16?

[PieceOfMeat]

No one has more than 2 points other than Chase & Hill! A third scorer needs to step up in the 2nd half!

agreed

[What I See]

Scarry how easy they came back without Horne on the floor. Hopefully he can stay out of foul trouble in the 2nd half. Wise and Judkins need to take a few more shots. Judkins needs to lock down Foster. That is all :)

[JimmyPeterson]

believe that Foster's brother plays somewhere

[84Cat]

SC has 5 more 3's than us.

[PieceOfMeat]

Again, POM is in the future! About a minute ahead of Yahoo.

The future is great, we got flying cars and robots who do our house cleaning.

[What I See]

believe that Foster's brother plays somewhere

Rice

[Wine&CheezBruin]

Hill is such a monster this year. Darn...I wish we had that kid.

[JimmyPeterson]

juddy has 3 ... is that stepping up? .. haha, i think horne will 2nd half but he has 3 fouls

[Merkin]

you have a working gametracker site? CSTV is still waiting for tip off.

foster has 16
bryant has 8
rahon has 8
trasolini has 4


hill has 14
budinger has 11
juddy 3
onobun 2
fogg 2
wise 2

[JimmyPeterson]

great recruiting class budinger, hill, and wise (though wise is a little off today)

[PieceOfMeat]

Ok, that is truly embarrassing... santa clara is a team who shoots 28% from three, and aginst us is 50 percent.

[JimmyPeterson]

you have a working gametracker site? CSTV is still waiting for tip off.

YEah. .. here http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=200811250017

[JimmyPeterson]

Ok, that is truly embarrassing... santa clara is a team who shoots 28% from three, and aginst us is 50 percent.

I think it will be half-time adjustments. We haven't played any good bigs and they have a solid big game. We're not used to it and are just doubling down.

[Merkin]

YEah. .. here http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=200811250017


Thanks Jimmy.

[JimmyPeterson]

Arizona is 1-4 from long range
Santa Clara is 6-12 from long range

[JimmyPeterson]

Thanks Jimmy.

Not a problem.

[JimmyPeterson]

By the way ... this Bryant is a really tough kid ... I heard he was stabbed during the summer ... recovered quickly I guess.

[Merkin]

Ok, that is truly embarrassing... santa clara is a team who shoots 28% from three, and aginst us is 50 percent.

I imagine other teams don't give them the wide open looks Arizona does.

[Gronk4Heisman]

Over/Under: 55% Ft% for Garland Judkins this entire season? I will go with under

[JimmyPeterson]

Oregon-UNC tonight

[JimmyPeterson]

As well as washington-Florida who is overranked

[SDCatlover]

I just can't get why this team is so bad on the perimeter. We are small team and should be able to at least guard that...I suppose we are just funneling everything outside to save Jordan, but really...we can't expect every team to shoot like MSVS.

In fact, we are seeing that pretty much every team will destroy us from outside if we can't close out.

[JimmyPeterson]

Washington State continues their tough 4 game homestand against Canisius. That Tony Bennett sure schedules big time.

[CatintheHeat]

Ok, that is truly embarrassing... santa clara is a team who shoots 28% from three, and aginst us is 50 percent.

Plus Santa Clara only his 5 turnovers. They had 25 yesterday.

[JimmyPeterson]

I just can't get why this team is so bad on the perimeter. We are small team and should be able to at least guard that...I suppose we are just funneling everything outside to save Jordan, but really...we can't expect every team to shoot like MSVS.

Yeah. Mind you UAB was 11-21 just the other day from 3 so it's not like they just shot it lights out against us. Vaden was 8-13 against Old Dominion ... I know it's old Diminion but when someone takes 13 3 pointer's you are guarding him out there and he is knocking them down anyway.

[JimmyPeterson]

When does Horne come back .... he's got 3 fouls

[JimmyPeterson]

again very quiet crowd... more people coming in now in preparation for georgia-miss valley state

[Zona_Soccer10]

Wow.. I just checked up on the game... were losing at half? WTH.

[JimmyPeterson]

Yep - Horne only played 7 minutes and once he came off ... SC's 3 point parade really began to heat up

[JimmyPeterson]

38-36 Santa Clara

set to begin 2nd half soon

[PieceOfMeat]

so like half a second into the second half, judkins gets called for a foul, and now Jordan gets called for a foul...wow

[JimmyPeterson]

Here we go Santa Clara ball to begin.

[JimmyPeterson]

GJ Foul immediately in first few seconds.

[Zona_Soccer10]

****. Could be a long year if we can't get our perimeter under control. Especially since we got Kansas not far off..

[JimmyPeterson]

2 fouls on Juddy. Foul on Jordan Hill again within a few seconds.

[PieceOfMeat]

And horne with an offensive foul.

3 az fouls in about 20 seconds.

horne with 4 now.

wise needs to step up for us this half

[JimmyPeterson]

basket santa clara 40-36

[PieceOfMeat]

and an sc three
this is getting ugly

[JimmyPeterson]

Jamelle Horne 4th foul offensively.

[SDCatlover]

Wow, guess we can't play defense with the way the whistles are blowing.

[Merkin]

When does Horne come back .... he's got 3 fouls


and out already with 4...

[JimmyPeterson]

43-36 brutal.

[JimmyPeterson]

Hill blocked by Bryant.

[hillary2008]

anyone know horne's IQ?

[JimmyPeterson]

Hill rarely gets blocked. SC is feeling the momentum.

[PieceOfMeat]

and another sc three.

wow....just, wow

[JimmyPeterson]

budinger 2 .. santa clara 3 46-38

[CatintheHeat]

At this rate the Cats are going to get blown off the floor against a mediocre mid-major.

[JimmyPeterson]

troy alexander just scored from 3 and he's 2-10 this season i think or 1-9

[JimmyPeterson]

Foster has 19 points for SC.

Hill and Budinger have kind of staggered at 14 and 11 for a while.

Sorry Budinger just scored a 2 so 13 now for him.

[CalStateTempe]

geez, we're effed this year. Still like this team , but you gotta close out the three.

[84Cat]

KO would have called 3 timeouts already.

[PieceOfMeat]

and another turnover....

[JimmyPeterson]

3 Timeouts? I think 5 by now.

[JimmyPeterson]

Santa Clara running Arizona to the ground.

[JimmyPeterson]

from a 12-0 start .... wow now just bad 46-38 SC

[PieceOfMeat]

hey, nic scoring. do more of that nic

[CatintheHeat]

Now that Santa Clara has a decent lead they are going to play Bennett ball.

[JimmyPeterson]

offensive foul good D Budinger ... lucky call ...

[PieceOfMeat]

jordan getting schooled by this guy in this game.

[JimmyPeterson]

Yes that would be nice POM. 46-40

[JimmyPeterson]

Didn't Jordan say when talking about Bryant too ...

He isn't me or something cocky like that.

Juddy for 2

[JimmyPeterson]

48-42

[JimmyPeterson]

hill scored against AGAIN by Bryant 50-42 Santa Clara

[JimmyPeterson]

I believe Hill and Bryant both have 14 points ... very rarely does Hill get matched like that since the days of Brook and Robin Lopez.

[PieceOfMeat]

and another turnover.....

for ... f'cks...sake

[JimmyPeterson]

No look pass by Fogg? WTF?

[Zona_Soccer10]

I know this is an off year for us.. but come on guys.. this is freakin' Santa Clara! They lost to a team we beat.. as well as lost to a few others we should.
LOCK IT DOWN.

[JimmyPeterson]

Timeout ...

16 mins left

50-42 SC

[PieceOfMeat]

Maybe we'll bring in lavendar and he'll start raining threes. Or zane...both are supposedly capable of it.

[JimmyPeterson]

Remember that SC was beating UAB until the last minute or so though. Vaden went off in the last 2 mins.

[Zona_Soccer10]

No look pass by Fogg? WTF?

If I was the coach.. i'd talk to him or bench him a few.. when your down and under performing.. you can't accept anything other than fundamentals.

[JimmyPeterson]

Yeah, these no look passes are just stupid unless you're Chris Paul... not even Steve Nash can do them without turning it over a bunch now.

[PieceOfMeat]

and charge from judkins.


sheesh whistle whistle whistle this half on us.

[Zona_Soccer10]

Somewhere... Steve Nash is laughing his ASS off.

[JimmyPeterson]

Here we go ... 15 mins to go SC ball and Bryant misses good D hill r... rebound by judkins ... offensive foul on judkins

[1stNGrant Frys]

Maybe we'll bring in lavendar and he'll start raining threes. Or zane...both are supposedly capable of it.

Yes, in this brave new world, Fendi is constantly setting up MONSTER SCREENS allowing our twin sharpshooters free reign

[WayneNewton]

Calm yourselves. I am here and I will handle this. I gots this! Here you go.

Santa Clara will win this game as the Cats collapse.

[JimmyPeterson]

Somewhere... Steve Nash is laughing his ASS off.

Why do you think I brought it up? ;)

[JimmyPeterson]

50-42 rebound Hill

Budinger missed shot and Hill scores put back

[PieceOfMeat]

and fendi gets int he game and is called for a foul.

5 az fouls already this half....

[Zona_Soccer10]

Why do you think I brought it up? ;)

Lol.. for his passing example. I meant he's laughing because SC is beating Zona'.

[JimmyPeterson]

14 mins left 50-44 SC

[PieceOfMeat]

arizona...down....by......8

is anyone on our team gonna step the f'ck up?

[PieceOfMeat]

wise for threeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Zona_Soccer10]
