[CBCat]

Worked 12 hours a day all week. Who's out other than Parrom? Anyone else?

[Osborn]

Kinda excited to hear the new chants Sean Miller taught the students.

[PieceOfMeat]

well there was a pointless, midly interesting fact.

only school in the pac10 to never have faced rice, until now...

[WeezyFcat]

Kinda excited to hear the new chants Sean Miller taught the students.

me tooo

[What I See]

Interesting lineup

Ben Brown :lol2:

[What I See]

you could kind of hear them with the new chant

[PieceOfMeat]

hope rice doesnt' start knocking down the threes...already they've had a couple open looks.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Horne! 3!

[PieceOfMeat]

would be nice if Horne consistently makes the three this year

[CBCat]

oy vey why does sitton have to explain the crowd?

[mach5]

3 min in and we look mediocre. horne is a player.

[mach5]

diggin the crowd noise tho.

[PieceOfMeat]

:lol2: the zoo is kinda funny to listen too :)

well done

[PieceOfMeat]

well done momo

[What I See]

how do you travel before you hit the court?

[PieceOfMeat]

nice passing cats

[PieceOfMeat]

corey really is so much better than "lemonade under the basket"

now if only we could do something about sitton

[What I See]

3 min in and we look mediocre. horne is a player.

we're going to look that way a lot this year. We're young

[scumdevils86]

the students actually sound awesome! wow! man i love coach miller. i hope we can keep up this participation and enthusiasm all year!

[mach5]

the passing is improving. sitton sure cant get kyryl's name right...

[What I See]

Corey correcting Sitton on Carol's name :lol2:

[PieceOfMeat]

the passing is improving. sitton sure cant get kyryl's name right...

sitton called jamelle jamal all year last year, is it any surprise he can't get kyryl's name right?

[CBCat]

Wow those girls look very very young

[alieberman]

Boing!

[CBCat]

President Shelton in the front row.

[PieceOfMeat]

kyryl has to be able to pass out of that.

[PieceOfMeat]

there ya go nic, make some more :)

[PieceOfMeat]

jeez, couldnt get one of those to fall lol

[CBCat]

We need some buckets

[CBCat]

How do I get that hoody Nic has?

[azcatmuledeer]

Love the battle on the boards with Williams & Hill there. I'm gonna really enjoy watching those guys develop this year.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Wise = Rudolf!?????!

[azcatmuledeer]

Can't believe how quick Sol Hill is.

[mach5]

lookin better. hill looks pretty damn good!

[CBCat]

How many have played? 8?

[azcatmuledeer]

Hill is the real deal.

[84Cat]

Hill could be called for traveling on some of those moves to the basket.

[UA Direct]

Solomon Hill 6
Rice U. 4

[CBCat]

Hill is the real deal.

He'll be a 2 in the pro's?

[What I See]

that was a foul on Horne

[What I See]

Jimmy Chipwood!

TREE!

[CBCat]

Go Jac

[84Cat]

I thought Rice was going to be better than NAU? Or are we playing better?

[CBCat]

Horne lucky there wow what a dribble by Nic

[What I See]

This Iranian kid has some game

[azcatmuledeer]

I thought Rice was going to be better than NAU? Or are we playing better?


Playing better. More assists, better D. ( At least it seems that way)

[ghostwhitehorse]

Tree sighting!

[CBCat]

Damn we play fast and furious we need more jumpers. More O.

[UA Direct]

We foul a lot.

[scumdevils86]

more points please.

[azcatmuledeer]

Damn we play fast and furious we need more jumpers. More O.


Yep. Love the effort, though.

This team seems potentially better than last year's. Am I crazy?

[ghostwhitehorse]

Nic for 3!

[PieceOfMeat]

finally, make a bucket :0

[CBCat]

Nic great range on the three

[84Cat]

Nic!

[ghostwhitehorse]

Fogg for 3!

[What I See]

DJ in

and Fogg for 3!

[azcatmuledeer]

Atta boy, Kyle!!

[84Cat]

Raining 3's!

[azcatmuledeer]

The Ukraine Train needs much work still..

[84Cat]

Boing boing boing breathe brick...gotta love it!

[CBCat]

Wish I would have chose Nic for rap

[PieceOfMeat]

some sloppy play

[azcatmuledeer]

Mo Mo!

[CBCat]

The Momo, damn quick

[CBCat]

DWill much more agressive tonight

[azcatmuledeer]

Damn the Iranian kid is tough.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Wise again!

[Enosh]

Just turned it on. How has Dwill and Hill looked?

24-11 looks amazing.

[azcatmuledeer]

Oops.

[CBCat]

can anybody post a box score?

[1UofACat]

freshmen playing like freshmen... :/

[UAdevil]

Hill reminds me a lot of Chris Mills with those deceptively quick drives and soft touch around the rim

[CBCat]

DWill has some hands

[RichardCranium]

can anybody post a box score?

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/gamechannel?c=passed&gid=200911190017

28-16 UA 2:21 in the 1st

[CBCat]

Hill reminds me a lot of Chris Mills with those deceptively quick drives and soft touch around the rim

Totally

[azcatmuledeer]

Hill reminds me a lot of Chris Mills with those deceptively quick drives and soft touch around the rim

Nice!

[CBCat]

We haven't shot a free throw

[CBCat]

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/gamechannel?c=passed&gid=200911190017

28-16 UA 2:21 in the 1st

thanks

[WildcatStunner]

Looking pretty sloppy on O

[etank34]

Single digits...

[What I See]

not worried at all...young team

[84Cat]

Nic not moving very well tonight.

[azcatmuledeer]

Hill has been out with two fouls for awhile. He's a huge upgrade whenever he enters the game. Same thing with Jamelle.

[CBCat]

How do you like them apples

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

ahhh we actually scored at the end of a half.


Coaching, refreshing, isn't it?

[RichardCranium]

33-20 UA halftime

[ghostwhitehorse]

Fogg for 3! Do like how the 'Cats are ending halves.

[WildcatStunner]

Miller handles himself pretty well on the Mic.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Jamelle played like, "last 2 years Jamelle."

[PieceOfMeat]

we should be up my so much more than 13 lol.

like Miller's comments there though :tup:

[84Cat]

I love watching Coach Miller talk!

[azcatmuledeer]

ahhh we actually scored at the end of a half.


Coaching, refreshing, isn't it?

And soothing at the same time..

[Reydituto]

This offense is brutal right now whenever Wise is out of the game ...

[ghostwhitehorse]

Harvey Mason!

[CBCat]

Sitton is cornball

[CBCat]

Jamelle played like, "last 2 years Jamelle."

Yep and because of it he sat a lot.

[mach5]

Nic not moving very well tonight.

agreed. seems like hes not that into it.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

This offense is brutal right now whenever Wise is out of the game ...

Agreed. To be expected, but it was plainly obvious. We have stretches of great ball play and other times of pure WTF. I like what I see in our guys though.

[TheCat]

So ......Horne needs to let the game come more to him. Not sure why Fogg is not playing more. Kreal looks like he tries hard but can't quite get over the hump. Hill and DWill are going to be animals as Sophs. Just a little tenative right now.

Wisc will beat these guys pretty bad. There offense isn't where it needs to be to be a team like that.

[CBCat]

Kryl, wrote on his facebook or twitter can't remember which, that he got to see a screening the other night of Harvey's movie. I assume most of the team went, but really don't know.

[cmbbulldog]

We have a long way to go, but the potential is there. It is going to be fun watching these guys for the next few years.

[azcatmuledeer]

So ......Horne needs to let the game come more to him. Not sure why Fogg is not playing more. Kreal looks like he tries hard but can't quite get over the hump. Hill and DWill are going to be animals as Sophs. Just a little tenative right now.

Wisc will beat these guys pretty bad. There offense isn't where it needs to be to be a team like that.

You don't think the Cats will hang in against Wisky by forcing turnovers and scoring on the break? I'm not sure they won't play 'em pretty tough.

[CharH44]

So ......Horne needs to let the game come more to him. Not sure why Fogg is not playing more. Kreal looks like he tries hard but can't quite get over the hump. Hill and DWill are going to be animals as Sophs. Just a little tenative right now.

Wisc will beat these guys pretty bad. There offense isn't where it needs to be to be a team like that.

Even last year the offense was not where it needed to be unless Nic was in the game, and that team had Chase and Jordan. I think that Miller is using this game to try different combinations in preparation for Hawaii.

[UofAcat23]

Sitton is cornball

http://www.thechangelab.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/the-cornballer.jpg

[CBCat]

Agreed. To be expected, but it was plainly obvious. We have stretches of great ball play and other times of pure WTF. I like what I see in our guys though.

Not a lot of rhythem out there on O. Guys have to get use to playing in shorter spurts and going in and out.

[What I See]

Wisc will beat these guys pretty bad. There offense isn't where it needs to be to be a team like that.

way to stay positive

[Enosh]

Any timeline on when we will see DWill and K-Real on the court at the same time?

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

So ......Horne needs to let the game come more to him. Not sure why Fogg is not playing more. Kreal looks like he tries hard but can't quite get over the hump. Hill and DWill are going to be animals as Sophs. Just a little tenative right now.

how good is Wisc. this year? I have paid absolutely no attention to them. Thanks

[PieceOfMeat]

Not sure why Fogg is not playing more.

me either

[CBCat]

http://www.thechangelab.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/the-cornballer.jpg

Ha ha :lol2: that's awesome

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

me either

Maybe still recovering from flu

[mach5]

how good is Wisc. this year? I have paid absolutely no attention to them. Thanks

2-0. they beat Oakland and IPFW (which is like IUPUI but IUP-FW)

[1UofACat]

Even last year the offense was not where it needed to be unless Nic was in the game, and that team had Chase and Jordan. I think that Miller is using this game to try different combinations in preparation for Hawaii.

I agree... but you realize that when we start to play some real talent these kids are going to be in unchartered water.

I hope they learn to swim real fast! The Cats do have alot of potential, but imo they also have a lot of growing up to do. I just hope that we can hang with the experience we play against to keep us in the thick of things.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

2-0. they beat Oakland and IPFW (which is like IUPUI but IUP-FW)

Thanks. What about where they are expected to finish in conference? I thought our guys would be real competitive against them.

[1UofACat]

me either

Probably because I've picked him two games in a row! :D

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Jamelle stop pressing dude...

[1UofACat]

Horne doesn't look comfy with the 3...

[What I See]

i really dislike the old timers in the audience

[azcatmuledeer]

Wow. 14 turnovers already. Yikes.

[PieceOfMeat]

14 turnovers, can't imagine Miller will be happy with that

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

McKale looks great tonight.

[CBCat]

I know its been posted before but what channel will that wisky game be on?

[1UofACat]

i really dislike the old timers in the audience

where do you think the money came from that helped Lute build this house???

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Careless passes, careless dribbles....yup sounds like 14 TOs

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

I know its been posted before but what channel will that wisky game be on?

espn2

[1UofACat]

14 turnovers, can't imagine Miller will be happy with that

I was thinking the same thing

[What I See]

where do you think the money came from that helped Lute build this house???

I could give a shi.t. They suck the energy out of the building like a stinky fart

[Reydituto]

I could give a shi.t. They suck the energy out of the building like a stinky fart

To be fair, it's past their bedtime, and from a basketball standpoint, this game sucks ...

[What I See]

wow

[azcatmuledeer]

Good god what a dunk!!!!

[PieceOfMeat]

Maybe still recovering from flu

ah, probably

Probably because I've picked him two games in a row! :D

or it could very well be that! :lol2:

[1UofACat]

sweet dunk!

[CBCat]

i really dislike the old timers in the audience

Count Sitton as one of those

[CBCat]

Hans Solo

[ghostwhitehorse]

sweet dunk!

If it doesn't make SportsCenter. . .

[RichardCranium]

I could give a shi.t. They suck the energy out of the building like a stinky fart

And without them there wouldn't be a building.

[What I See]

and from a basketball standpoint, this game sucks ...

You have a point there. I imagine we're going to win a lot of ugly games this year

[PieceOfMeat]

nice dunk (understatement)

[What I See]

And without them there wouldn't be a building.

keep telling yourself that

[RichardCranium]

If it doesn't make SportsCenter. . .

... it didn't happen?

[1UofACat]

If it doesn't make SportsCenter. . .

Did you see the defender get the he** out of the way!?:lol2:

[CBCat]

I wish Foggy would play more.
Why is Momo ahead of him in the rotation?

[Taylor]

And without them there wouldn't be a building.

Huh? All the old people that were around when McKale was built died. Like twenty or thirty years ago.

[azcatmuledeer]

C'mon B-Lav...jeezes you've gotta hit those dude!!!!

[Cats20]

That dunk was huge. :lol2:

[CBCat]

uh oh 5 point swing not good after the good D

[mach5]

kyryl has to make those under the basket shots.

[azcatmuledeer]

kyryl has to make those under the basket shots.


He almost seems soft out there.

[ghostwhitehorse]

... it didn't happen?

Actually. . .I will be a sad panda.

Did you see the defender get the he** out of the way!?:lol2:

Yeah. :lol:

[PieceOfMeat]

don't look now, but here comes rice

[1UofACat]

Huh? All the old people that were around when McKale was built died. Like twenty or thirty years ago.

um.... I'm not talking about the building... I'm talking about the "house"...

Most of those fogies are still there...

[CBCat]

um.... I'm not talking about the building... I'm talking about the "house"...

Most of those fogies are still there...

Yeah there are some super super older folks in those stands these days.

[1UofACat]

um.... I'm not talking about the building... I'm talking about the "house"...

Most of those fogies are still there...



They're the type that tell us to "sit down!"...

[azcatmuledeer]

Beautiful!

[mach5]

time for the zoo to get the energy level up in there.

[CBCat]

Fogg finally.
Wow Love SM's intensity. Wow.

[PieceOfMeat]

didnt' expect this game to be a "test" considering how it started, but let's see how the guys respond

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Remember Radenovic used to flick up those lay-ups at first?

[1UofACat]

I know Rice is better than 5 points 14 minutes into the game, but they're not suppose to be down by only single digits w/12 minutes left.



come on Hill.... slow it down or make the pass...

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Too many TOs (duh!)

[Zona Dave]

I love watching Miller gettin' after them. I think we'll see quite a few games like this this year.

[CBCat]

You do not want SM in your face.

[RichardCranium]

keep telling yourself that

I don't have to. I was there. I know what it took.

And I know how skeptical the city and the state was.

We couldn't fill Bear Down, how the heck are we gonna fill a modern stadium? Jealous f*cks from Phx weren't gonna give 'em any money.

It was an extraordinary sales job by Dave Strack. Those folks you resent built that building, made this program possible, and deserve to be there.

Get off your elitist high horse. There is plenty of room for students, and plenty of atmosphere.

[1UofACat]

You do not want SM in your face.

would you rather have Floyd??? :lol2:

[azcatmuledeer]

you do not want sm in your face.


lol

[CBCat]

The D is gonna be great come Pac play

[PieceOfMeat]

I would expect Fogg gets a lot more playing time going forward

[ghostwhitehorse]

The D is gonna be great come Pac play

Depending of the refs. . .:(

[What I See]

I don't have to. I was there. I know what it took.


You think you are the only one that was there? The students should have the old timers seats along the court...just like in every other big time program

[CBCat]

Man what light went on for DWill? Damn.

[84Cat]

Horne's line: 2-6 1-4(3's) for 5 points.

[mach5]

we need to tighten it up and play with 40min of intensity.

[azcatmuledeer]

17 assists on 22 FG's so far. I like it.

[PieceOfMeat]

good job exending back to double digits

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Jamelle is having a TERRIBLE game

[84Cat]

I knew DWill was going to be good. I was surprised how he started the year because I expected more.

[azcatmuledeer]

Horne's line: 2-6 1-4(3's) for 5 points.


Yep. Poor game for Jamelle so far.

[1UofACat]

I would expect Fogg gets a lot more playing time going forward

I sure hope so because I plan on continuing to pick him providing he doesn't get too expensive! :lol2:

[What I See]

Jamelle is having a TERRIBLE game

that pass was behind him

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Horne WTF dude

[CBCat]

I would expect Fogg gets a lot more playing time going forward

Yep he is steady eddie, and a smart player

[1UofACat]

Horne WTF dude

he's pushing too hard

[azcatmuledeer]

Sputter sputter...

[PieceOfMeat]

wow, some uuuugly misses tonight

[RichardCranium]

look whats happened while we are bickering. I ain't biting on that stuff anymore :)

[RichardCranium]

Yep. Poor game for Jamelle so far.

And 6 turnovers.

[CBCat]

Jamelle is having a TERRIBLE game

Performance anxiety. I think it will get better.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Ooh! Aah!

[CBCat]

ooh ahh ooh ahh

[Zona Dave]

Nic Wise is very good!

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Performance anxiety. I think it will get better.

Yup. I just hope he doesn't let it carry over to the next game. He has looked much improved this year.

[CBCat]

No Garland.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Nic!

[CBCat]

Man I wish I would have picked Nic in Rap. I picked Sol instead

[RichardCranium]

Yeah! let it rain!

[azcatmuledeer]

No Garland.


WTF? Doghouse again?

[1UofACat]

senier leadership... way to go Nic!

[84Cat]

Nice pass out of the post!

[CBCat]

Sol getting a lot of minutes tonight.

[NETSFAN4HASSAN]

Really love Sol's passing

[RichardCranium]

Man I wish I would have picked Nic in Rap. I picked Sol instead

Sol has 12 pts = to Nic

He also has 3 rebounds (> Nic) 2 assists (Nic has 6) and 2 TO (Nic has 5)

Sounds like you are doing OK, but I don't know exactly how the RAP points work.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Horne for 3!

[84Cat]

Horne finally!

[CBCat]

I wish the camera angle showed the students not the other side.

[84Cat]

The defensive rotation is still a little slow at times but overall is much improved in this game.

[CBCat]

Sol has 12 pts = to Nic

He also has 3 rebounds (> Nic) 2 assists (Nic has 6) and 2 TO (Nic has 5)

Sounds like you are doing OK, but I don't know exactly how the RAP points work.

Makes me feel a bit better. We'll see. Yeah its Rebounds points assists

[CBCat]

Rice getting tired?

[1UofACat]

AZ = 3/5 on FTs... terrible...

[84Cat]

Love the pressure D right there!

[azcatmuledeer]

We've had some very favorable calls...as it should be at home...

[1UofACat]

Rice getting tired?

naw... just not that good.

[CBCat]

It's wierd so few points. I think the guys have to get use to playing both ends of the floor.
We all know that hasn't happened for the last three or four years. It's gonna be a fun year.

[ghostwhitehorse]

Horne again!

[What I See]

Horne for 3!

Starting to look good!

[azcatmuledeer]

It's weird seeing Arizona play good defense.

[CBCat]

That was an incredible dunk

[CBCat]

It's weird seeing Arizona play good defense.

lol right. It's all weird. But good weird. :)

[PieceOfMeat]

odd seeing rice foul us....when we're up 17

[ghostwhitehorse]

It's weird seeing Arizona play good defense.

"Old school" is the term, not "weird". :)

[PieceOfMeat]

hate missed throws

[WildcatStunner]

You guys see the Miller Hoops Life shirt someone was wearing? Got its start on this site I believe

[What I See]

TREE and Dj in

[CBCat]

I don't see Garland on the bench

[CatintheHeat]

I am impressed with Horne tonight. He didn't play that good for most of the game but he didn't let it get to him. I don't believe he could have finished a game last year like he did tonight.

[CBCat]

"Old school" is the term, not "weird". :)

How bout "vintage" as in vintage Lute.

[azcat49]

Who are these refs, they are pretty good. Can't be Pac guys.

Let em play and kept a flow in a choppy game

[ghostwhitehorse]

odd seeing rice foul us....when we're up 17

Practice for future games that are closer?

[PieceOfMeat]

gah, make your throws people!

[84Cat]

What's with the fouling bs? Rice isn't going to win.

[What I See]

D Wise in

[What I See]

What's with the fouling bs? Rice isn't going to win.

5-10 FT's on our part

[84Cat]

I am impressed with Horne tonight. He didn't play that good for most of the game but he didn't let it get to him. I don't believe he could have finished a game last year like he did tonight.

good point & I concur.

[ghostwhitehorse]

66 - 49 'Cats. Final.

[CBCat]

anybody have the link for the pressers?

[PieceOfMeat]

Ok then. that was an ....odd.... game to watch.

Team still has some growing to do, lets hope maui goes real well.

[Zona Dave]

Wow, that was an extremely boring game!

[1UofACat]

I don't think Ben has ever won as a HC in McKale Ctr... :)

[What I See]

I don't think Ben has ever won as a HC in McKale Ctr... :)

Nope

[Reydituto]

That game ... sucked ...

[azcatmuledeer]

"Old school" is the term, not "weird". :)


It's been so long I'd forgotten the term.:)
