Cats V. Cards - Holy Sweet 16!

[Ziggiles]

=)

[azatm]

First team in against the last team in....no complaints.

[catgrad97]

Zig, what's your record as a game thread starter?

I think we need to delete this and go to some azcat49 game thread OPin', just to be safe.:)

Zig, what's your record as a game thread starter?

This is actually why I jumped in early to start todays game thread. I'm a little superstitious when it comes to sports.

[mmelka20]

Go Cats! Bear Down!

[scumdevils86]

1 hour and counting!

[azdoubledown]

Im off from work headed to the sportsbar - BEAR DOWN!!!!!!

[HiCat]

There's upset in the air?;)

On the radio pregame show now..

Cats worked out yesterday for all 50 minutes. Business but relaxed.. Cards arrived 10 mins. late and only practiced 30 mins and had a dunk contest..

[HiCat]

Espn

Dickie V - LVille's press will wear Cats down..

Digger - Arizona's zone is very good.. take care of the ball, they'll be in this game..

[Main Event]

Man im nervous

[scumdevils86]

30 minutes!

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

BEAR DOWN!!!!!!!!!


I believe...

[ghostwhitehorse]

Bear f'in' DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Main Event]

BEAR DOWN CATS lets get it

[Main Event]

^5's everyone..... Game time

[Big D]

We ready baby!! I'm freakin HYPED!!

[scumdevils86]

I'm as hyped as I can be sitting at my desk at work!

[Big D]

Don't tell me this is going to be the angle they show all game???

[Big D]

And1

[ghostwhitehorse]

and 1!

[ghostwhitehorse]

CBud is on.

[ghostwhitehorse]

e3rg

[Big D]

Horne a young RJ?? LOL

[azlax04]

Glad they missed that three.
But I'm still nervous.

[84Cat]

Horne a young RJ?? LOL

:lol2:

[Main Event]

Were fine we just gotta relax it could of gotten really ugly

[lofty]

There's that three point defense we've all come to recognize and love. UL continues to hit the WIDE OPEN for DAYS looks from three... we're gonna be blown out. We can't count on them missing threes like we did vs. Cleveland St. It's so frustrating.

[catgrad]

Chase -- middle of the zone all night long. He can shoot, drive or dish. Point forward for him tonight. Feed the beast.

[UofA237]

No close outs on any of their 3 point shots. Not looking good if they are going to start falling.

[Rockdoc]

when the 'better' team starts off fast and cant get away, that's a good sign for us.

[WayneNewton]

Playing right into their hands. We have to call off the press and concentrate all defensive energy to guarding those WIDE ****ING OPEN three point shots.

[SDCatlover]

The sound on this game and the camera angle suck.

[ghostwhitehorse]

foooooooooo!

[AZ1GH]

Guard the dang 3!

[tuctowncat]

The sound on this game and the camera angle suck.

I thought it was just my TV.

[scumdevils86]

we're getting pwned.

[ASUHATER!]

youd think 34 games into the season we'd try to guard the three

[84Cat]

Hill needs to wake up soon!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Fogg! 3!

[RichardCranium]

ouch

ouch x 2

[scumdevils86]

5 to's already. eep.

[Main Event]

Were still in this lets go

[Main Event]

Were not playing our best and were only down 5 lets go Cats

[UofA237]

Get ready for a 6 turnover game from Nic.

Anyway c'mon cats bear down.

[UAGreg]

Louisville is throwing it all at us, and we're only down 5. Could be much much worse. DONT TURN THE BALL OVER PLEASE!

[lofty]

Horne's so athletic, but is there anybody with less sense? Why come down on that block attempt so hard? Hands up straight at the top to block the shot.. don't windmill chop right into them.. automatic foul.

[ArizCat]

Agree, Jordon needs to step up.

[Rockdoc]

Hill needs to wake up soon!

Hill seems a little tight. he needs to believe in himself and get going.

[gumby]

Hill needs to ramp up the intensity.

[SDCatlover]

I thought it was just my TV.

Can't hear the announcers and the crowd is screechy loud.

[CatintheHeat]

I've never seen Hill play this bad this season. His head doesn't seem to be in the game.

[CharH44]

I'd like to see us start to take care of the ball.

[UofA237]

Hill seems a little tight. he needs to believe in himself and get going.

Yea I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't look that confident as of right now. He will get it going though....i hope

[tuctowncat]

I would love to see a monster dunk from Hill right now.

[UAGreg]

I've never seen Hill play this bad this season. His head doesn't seem to be in the game.

Once he settles down he'll be fine.

[Main Event]

Jordan dosent wanna get in foul trouble it seems like hes playing less aggressive which is good to an extent

[ArizCat]

Can't hear the announcers and the crowd is screechy loud.

Our TVsound is fine.

[catgrad]

Attack this friggin' zone. They aren't that good

[Big D]

Seriously?? C'mon now quit playin scurred

[azlax04]

And CBS cut away to show 'Cuse - Oklahoma.

[Main Event]

Keep driving to the basket

[catgrad]

Go up STRONG Hill. RIght through their nose.

[scumdevils86]

score?

[84Cat]

20-14

[UAGreg]

20-14

[RichardCranium]

Can't hear the announcers and the crowd is screechy loud.

sound is fine on MMOD

announcers are a bit bush

[scumdevils86]

thx

[ArizCat]

Too many TO's - 7
We will be in the bonus in a few mins though.

[CharH44]

Come on, Jordan.

[Cats101]

Hill needs to get things together.

[UAGreg]

Really just not playing good basketball right now.

Louisville is the better team and it's showing at the moment.

[84Cat]

22-15

[ghostwhitehorse]

22-15 'Ville

[AZ1GH]

Wise, you can NOT miss FTs

[scumdevils86]

ouch

[azpatnca]

It's all about hanging around.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Boom goes Cbud!

[84Cat]

going man but doesn't help. 24-17

[AZ1GH]

Way to go Chase!

[ArizCat]

We need to do more of that.
Nic to Chase,

[scumdevils86]

greggy boy is licking his chops.

[Officer Craig]

**** LOUISVILLE. **********s

[the goat]

Thanks for showing up Jordan.

[CatintheHeat]

At the rate the game is going the Cats are going to get blown out. Right now they just need to find a way to stick around. If we can keep the score under 10 at the half we have a chance.

[SDCatlover]

Jordan has been the one constant on this team all year, but tonight he is playing scared.

[UAGreg]

Jordan wasn't the one that I expected wouldn't show up.

CBud playing well.

[gumby]

Thanks for showing up Jordan.
No kidding. Making Jennings look like a superstar.

[scumdevils86]

this could get very embarassing very soon.

[Main Event]

This team is good but there giving us the mid range jumper we just gotta hit shots and take care of the ball

[ghostwhitehorse]

Lord and Lady I HATE that F***ing Sheritan ad. :mad:

[UofA237]

Getting sick of the cards players yelling and haning on the rim after every dunk

[catgrad]

Didn't expect this from Hill. Someone needs to get in his face and fire the guy up.

[UAGreg]

Just stay within 10 points at halftime. Any more and it will probably be out of reach.

[PieceOfMeat]

Getting sick of the cards players yelling and haning on the rim after every dunk

me 2.

oh look lou hits an open three. sigh

[scumdevils86]

and now the ship is taking on more water...

[azpatnca]

Hang around and believe. Stop turning over the ball, hope they go cold from three, give up the dunk vs taking the foul, as morally deflating as it is.

[84Cat]

29-19

[dmacwildcat]

not the ****ing timeline.

[AZ1GH]

2 on Hill

[UAGreg]

Thank God Chase decided to show up.

Paging Hill and Wise.

[PieceOfMeat]

dont get the rebound on the missed three.
and lou hits a 2 and gets a foul on jordan.
not good there.

we need someone to get hot from 3. zane, fogg, horne?

[ghostwhitehorse]

*sigh*

[Main Event]

.....

[UAGreg]

Down 15, I hate to be a pessimist but we're probably finished.

[PieceOfMeat]

nic just tried way to long of a 3, and lou comes back and dunks.
holy f*ck this is getting out of hand quickly

[84Cat]

Not sure I can watch much more. 34-19

[Big D]

Sosa's ridiculous with that crap

[Cats20]

We're going down by 30.

[SDCatlover]

Cant make easy shots and are getting blown bye.

[ArizCat]

Right now, I think we need a MIRACLE.

[scumdevils86]

open threes and big dunks. never a good recipe for success.

[catgrad]

Jordan is just standing around just clueless. Somebody slap the guy and wake him up!

[lofty]

Well, this is about as good as I expected it to be. 34-19, 7 mins left first half. My 82-57 prediction may be understating it.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Hill is playing like ****. He's going up against 10 big guys it seems.

[CharH44]

I can't watch. I'm not even in a room with a tv in it.

[scumdevils86]

I can't wait for doyel's column!

[UAGreg]

Sosa is pretty cocky for a guy that was told he should probably think about transferring by Pitino earlier this season.

[Cats101]

Smh.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Well Chase showed up today. He brought it. Nic...not so much.

[ZONACAT]

Hill playing like a *****.

[illcat]

Cats need about 10 point run about now.

[ASUHATER!]

sucks we didn't get off the bus at all (minus chase).

all i wanted from this game was a close loss. losing by 30 isn't going to help us with anything, at all.

[PieceOfMeat]

honestly though, this isn't too surprising.
lets hope for a miracle

[CharH44]

I've never been down on Jordan, and am not now. I just can't figure out how he's not with it today. This is not the JH I've watched for three years. The only time he's been this out of sync he was hurt.

[UAGreg]

One good thing could come out of this. Jordan could totally kill his draft stock today and come back next year.

Here's to hoping.

[EL_CHUPACABRA]

open threes and big dunks. Never a good recipe for success.

your still a buffon

[CatintheHeat]

The Cats are done. Louisville brought their "A" and the Cats brought somewhere around a "B-" game. Lousiville is the best team we have played all season. They definitely deserve their #1 ranking.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Sosa is pretty cocky for a guy that was told he should probably think about transferring by Pitino earlier this season.

That whole team is. They have reason too though. They are a very good team. We are just outmatched.

BUT I only think one of their players translate into a solid Lottery/First round pick; Clark.

[Main Event]

Just cut it to under 10 thats all i ask

[lofty]

And there she goes.. they have taken me to Syracuse and OU. The bet here in my house before the game started was how long Arizona could keep the AZ/UL game on. They kept it on for a half hour!

[ZONACAT]

Jordan Hill brought his "F" game. As in F this I'm going pro anyways.

[gumby]

De-CLAWED.

[PieceOfMeat]

slip salim out there

[ghostwhitehorse]

smeg.

[PieceOfMeat]

well hello there fendi. ouch

[ASUHATER!]

louisville has already played like 10 or 11 different guys. we aren't horrible, we just can't match that. every one of their players is kept completely fresh.

[ghostwhitehorse]

slip salim out there

Na. Bring in Reggie "This Is How You Play D" Geary.

[PieceOfMeat]

cold as ice

[ghostwhitehorse]

*double sigh*

[UAGreg]

Great season guys!

[tuctowncat]

louisville has already played like 10 or 11 different guys. we aren't horrible, we just can't match that. every one of their players is kept completely fresh.

This.

[Main Event]

Were not gonna hear the end of this for a while

[PieceOfMeat]

louisville has already played like 10 or 11 different guys. we aren't horrible, we just can't match that. every one of their players is kept completely fresh.

we're not losing by this much already just cause we're tired.
way to early for fatigue to be the reason.

nobody but chase is present thus far. that's why we're losing by this much.

[ASUHATER!]

so who will the coach be, since this game is over?

[Irish27]

Louisville is just too good. Better players who play great defense. Chase already has his head down.

[lofty]

Come on.. didn't you guys at least halfway expect this?

Kept the streak alive and made the S 16. I've satisfied.

[84Cat]

Hill for 2!

[scumdevils86]

I'm very proud of this team this season. It just sucks that it's ending this way so we'll never hear the end of it from all the jackas*es that will ***** about us after tonight.

[PieceOfMeat]

if we could get the lead to 10 or less by half, i'd be really impressed

[Big D]

wow this is a splash of cold water in the face

[ASUHATER!]

Come on.. didn't you guys at least halfway expect this?

Kept the streak alive and made the S 16. I've satisfied.

im satisfied with that. it will just suck having to listen to the nationwide anti-arizona smear campaign that is already gearing up and that will go on for at least several days, with all the "i told you so's", laughing and finger pointing.

[scumdevils86]

score now? had to turn off the radio.

[UAGreg]

Can anyone here honestly say that they didn't expect this?

[ASUHATER!]

i believe 6 straight fouls called on us? horne and jordan are pretty much done for the rest of the game

[gumby]

As soon as Hill runs to the wing, it's all over. They pass it down low. Budinger, Horne and Johnson overmatched.

[Main Event]

Samuels is making Jordan look very average

[ASUHATER!]

40-21 with ul shooting 1 and 1

[SouthBayWildcat]

Louisville - A lot, Us - A little.

[CatzManiac]

Our guys look scared out there. Hope they start playing loose.

[gumby]

Can anyone here honestly say that they didn't expect this?
Margin or outcome?

I didn't expect to be doubled up already. Didn't happen to Louisville's first two opponents.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Come on.. didn't you guys at least halfway expect this?

Kept the streak alive and made the S 16. I've satisfied.

Me too. I'm ****ing happy for our guys this season! If anyone said we'd be in the Sweet 16 this year, you would have thought they are ****ing nuts. They will go down as one of my favs! The cards were stacked against them, but they had a very good season.


BUT there's still some time left in this game; lets make it respectable.

[UAGreg]

Us starting out pressing was probably not the best idea. It wore us out.

[1UofACat]

i believe 6 straight fouls called on us? horne and jordan are pretty much done for the rest of the game

Is this because they're just not getting after it and getting beat or is it something else? (stuck at work...)

Maybe Russ needs to pull a Bobby Knight here and get after the Cats as well!

This does not sound like the way we want to go out.:fur:

[Zona_Soccer10]

Wow. I really expected a tough outing.. but this is amazing.

[UAGreg]

Margin or outcome?

I didn't expect to be doubled up already. Didn't happen to Louisville's first two opponents.

Outcome. I didn't expect this either, but I'm not surprised. They are a much better team than us this year.

[AZ1GH]

Expect UL to win - but expect the Cats to compete - screw the pressure, take it to the hole - get aggressive

[BeachCat97]

Can anyone here honestly say that they didn't expect this?

I expected us to make a game of it, not to have the outcome decided by halftime.

[scumdevils86]

41-21 :(

9 straight fouls on us

[gumby]

Is this because they're just not getting after it and getting beat or is it something else? (stuck at work...)

Maybe Russ needs to pull a Bobby Knight here and get after the Cats as well!

This does not sound like the way we want to go out.:fur:
It's because we're out of position and fouling.

[PieceOfMeat]

hmm a foul...

[ArizCat]

Cards were supposed to be poor at the line, like shooting 67%.
Now they cannot miss.

Horrible stat = 9 straight fouls against UA.

[1UofACat]

Us starting out pressing was probably not the best idea. It wore us out.

I'm not buying that... we pressed Utah the whole game and it didn't wear us out.

[sk8erzombi]

Ajac!!

[Main Event]

This is sort of like watching your best friend get beat up and theres nothin you can do about it

[gumby]

Um, Len, we always play zone.

[AZ1GH]

Cards are sure getting the calls given how they play D

[scumdevils86]

thanks chase.

[UAGreg]

I'm not buying that... we pressed Utah the whole game and it didn't wear us out.

Pretty sure Utah didn't press us back.

[lofty]

Shouldn't be any campaigns about telling us so and all that. We got a golden path to the S. 16 that even we couldn't f$%k up. What do you do? We're playing the NO. 1 seed in the tourney. This is very predictable.

[1UofACat]

It's because we're out of position and fouling.

Damnit then Russ, do some of that coaching crap!

[84Cat]

AJac in!

[BeachCat97]

This game symbolizes the gap between the Big East and the Pac-10 this season.

[PieceOfMeat]

onlky 16 points

[gumby]

2-0 run!

[1UofACat]

Shouldn't be any campaigns about telling us so and all that. We got a golden path to the S. 16 that even we couldn't f$%k up. What do you do? We're playing the NO. 1 seed in the tourney. This is very predictable.

BS to that also... you need to bring your A game and it sounds like half the team never left the bus...

[Zona_Soccer10]

I expect to see a fight... this group won't go down without swinging.
Come on guys.

[gumby]

5-0! Pitino panicking!

[BeachCat97]

If we get it down to 10 by halftime, I'll believe.

[catgrad]

5-0! Pitino panicking!

We've got 'em right where we want 'em.

[losgatosaz05]

Come on boys need to sack up and show your HUEVOS!!!

[CharH44]

Come on.. didn't you guys at least halfway expect this?

Kept the streak alive and made the S 16. I've satisfied.

I'm with you.

[PieceOfMeat]

lou loves the claw

[AZ1GH]

Can we not put a man on Smith??

[PieceOfMeat]

21 down at the half. ouch. uuuuuuuuuuuuugly

[Big D]

Well time to break out the tequila

[ArizCat]

I think I heard a stat on the pregame show that Louisville is something like 70-0 when leading at the half!

[sk8erzombi]

Sigh... We had a good, unexpected, run.... Please give us Pitino or Cal

[ghostwhitehorse]

*sigh*

[ArizCat]

Well time to break out the tequila

Hope is the top shelf stuff. You need it. Wish I had some. :(

[gumby]

Can we not put a man on Smith??
It's on purpose.

Smith: "Wow. Haven't been this open all year."

[ezinaz]

Sigh... We had a good, unexpected, run.... Please give us Pitino or Cal

Yeah...I can see why Pitino would want to run from his current situation... :rolleyes:

wish i was at a bar and not work

[BeachCat97]

Sigh... We had a good, unexpected, run.... Please give us Pitino or Cal

I agree. We're the only Pac-10 fans with a game to watch this week; so we should feel good.

I really wish Jordan would've shown up in his final game as Wildcat.

[tahoecat]

Let's see. Wise has missed two free throws and only made one FG, despite having open looks. Hill has missed three open looks and is in foul trouble for weak fouls. We've turned the ball over at least five times on bad decisions -- not Louisville pressure -- that's resulted in 13 points. And we've fouled three times on inside shots, and instead of hacking the crap out of them so they can't make the FG, we tap them so it's an easy and-one opportunity.
This isn't a good time to be playing our worst game of the season, and, no, Louisville isn't the reason. UA is the reason.

[mongrelcat]

Welp,

[PieceOfMeat]

so, do we lose by 30, 40, or 50?

[1UofACat]

Sigh... We had a good, unexpected, run.... Please give us Pitino or Cal

S**** that, get after it guys! Russ, this is where you come in! The AZ of old used to have 20-4 runs in just a few minutes!




... then again that was with the teams and staff of old...

[scumdevils86]

i say the final will be about 95-60.

[BallinestCat27]

Booze it up before the second half starts, fellas.

[ArizCat]

Telling stat is Cards 12 bench points.
Cats 0 bench points.

[losgatosaz05]

Well it looks like it will take a miracle to come back on this one so I guess it's best to say that it was a good run that very few expected and on to the next chapter of UA basketball.

[azlax04]

so, do we lose by 30, 40, or 50?

Inconsequential.

Do I get hammered? Black out? Or vomit uncontrollably?

[Officer Craig]

**** Pitino. Don't want him.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Wish we had depth.

[killervibe]

Ugly. Just ugly. I hope they dont give up.

[Big D]

Hope is the top shelf stuff. You need it. Wish I had some. :(

I know I have some Patron and I also have some Don Julio and 100 Anos I can dig out. That should get me through the 2nd half... I hope :(

[BeachCat97]

Let's see. Wise has missed two free throws and only made one FG, despite having open looks. Hill has missed three open looks and is in foul trouble for weak fouls. We've turned the ball over at least five times on bad decisions -- not Louisville pressure -- that's resulted in 13 points.

This isn't a good time to be playing our worst game of the season, and, no, Louisville isn't the reason. UA is the reason.

I agree with you to an extent. It really does seem like our guys are intimidated or nervous, especially Jordan.

[Zona_Soccer10]

Our fate is in our hands. We can either stick our tail between our legs.. or we can fight like Cats.
I realize it's going to be near impossible to win.. but hopefully they show the same heart they've shown throughout.

Why? Because he's handing our ASS to us in the game? The guy has teams that always have tremendous depth, shoot the 3, and play crazy good defense. I want him so we can start handing someone else their Ass!

If we are lucky.. we can pull a Memphis and at least come back from twenty plus.

Let's see. Wise has missed two free throws and only made one FG, despite having open looks. Hill has missed three open looks and is in foul trouble for weak fouls. We've turned the ball over at least five times on bad decisions -- not Louisville pressure -- that's resulted in 13 points. And we've fouled three times on inside shots, and instead of hacking the crap out of them so they can't make the FG, we tap them so it's an easy and-one opportunity.
This isn't a good time to be playing our worst game of the season, and, no, Louisville isn't the reason. UA is the reason.

You are high.

Louisville is pressing the crap out of UA and forcing rushed shots and turnovers. The pressure will make you look bad.

[tahoecat]

Pitino's second five can extend this lead if we don't player better. My guess is 81-62. At some point, he has to call of the dogs on his future employer.

[ezinaz]

Why? Because he's handing our ASS to us in the game? The guy has teams that always have tremendous depth, shoot the 3, and play crazy good defense. I want him so we can start handing someone else their Ass!

Keep dreaming...

[michcat]

Hill needs to Man up and get his head in the game. Get mad!

[tahoecat]

Not high. How about the ball bouncing off Jacobsen's knee? Or Budinger throwing a pass when he's taller than his defender between two people? Louisville's pressure if part of it, our decision making is most of it.

[ZONA]

No joke. Why not Pitino ???

Has pitino ever lost in the sweet sixteen ???

[Zona Dave]

BTW, I hope OU beats the crap outta the biggest Puss in the world Boeheim, and that sleeze ball Devendorf!!

[UofA237]

Chase came to play...the person who i thought might not show up.

But the one who i expected to come out 110% tonight ready to dominate seems scared of Louisville.

i agree with you. better teams wont do this for louisville. it's about us.

[tahoecat]

I'll take rushed shots all day long when our guys don't have a defender on them. If you can't make open jump shots at the D-1 level, you can't beat anybody. How can you say their pressure is making us miss wide-open shots? They aren't even near us.

[UofA237]

Atleast Duke got their asses handed to them. That makes me feel a little bit better about this situation but not by much

[PieceOfMeat]

I blame this on POM for not getting into an accident today.

(I'm just kidding :lol2:)

my bad. its just that i dont have a car yet since the last was totalled. :(
here, i'll go throw myself down the stairs, maybe that'll work

[WayneNewton]

Wise and Hill are m.i.a. to a spectacular degree. Wise is going at Louisville's pressure all wrong. What was with that floater with 11 seconds left in the half? He's also missed a couple freethrows.

[tahoecat]

If Louisville's pressure always leads to 49-28 halftime leads, they'd be 35-0 with an average margin of victory of 40 ppg. At some point, players have to be accountable for their decisions.

[michcat]

somebody step on Jordan's face....

He's playing way too passively right now.

[Zona Dave]

Keep dreaming...

I didn't say we'd get him.

It's allways at least a liveable day when Duke goes down.

[lofty]

tahoe cat sounds like a fan of all those teams we used to beat in the good ole days. They'd say it wasn't about us, but it was about them. LMAO. Okie dokie, there tahoe. This has nothing to do with UL being a top 3 team. What a dreamer.

[ZONA]

Hill may not be ready for the nba but he will be a top 10 pick and therefore he is gone.

Chase is gone as well with it being a weak draft he could go 15 - 20.

Nic Wise I think would be making a huge mistake if he declares for the draft. One more year will do him so good and improve his draft status imo ...

If it works Ill buy you a new car :lol2:

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Proud of Chase.

[tahoecat]

Of course Louisville is the No. 1 team. But are you saying Morehead State is better than us? They handled the pressure. Listen to the announcers. Even Len Elmore is saying UA is getting open shots, they just aren't making them.

[lofty]

I agree. Hill and Chase are gone. Nic should stay.

[Rockdoc]

somebody step on Jordan's face....

Jordan has tons of potential, but he isnt NBA ready. not saying he shouldnt leave but it's obvious he isnt ready.

[UAGreg]

Have you seen what our roster is going to look like next year? Nic is gonna have to do it all, and that's not his game.
