Can St. Mary's overtake Nova? If so, my bracket is screwed. I have Ohio State and Kentucky winning my two brackets so I am rooting for Northern Iowa!

Yesterday was an awesome day of basketball. Washington survived and will move on to play New Mexico on Saturday. Cal plays today against Louisville and will hopefully go on to the next round as well.
What happened to Georgetown?
I hit one of my upsets yesterday with Washington over Marquette but lost the other one with San Diego State falling to Tennessee.
My upsets for today: Minnesota over Xavier and Oklahoma State over Georgia Tech.
Now, GET BACK TO WORK!

Arizona Snubbed by NIT

As expected, the Cats were not chosen for the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. Not only did the Cats not make the NCAA Tourney, they were snubbed by the NIT as well. The Cats declined an invitation to play in the College Basketball Invitational. Coach Miller had this to say about that decision:
That's really not what our program is about right now. The goal here is to make the NCAA Tournament and be in a position for a seed that can advance and can threaten for the Final Four. I'm going to sound the exact way I did when I got here. The building process and doing things the right way is at the forefront. Recruiting Arizona players ...making sure that everybody who returns, returns better and making sure that everyone who is on our roster is about winning. It's about team. It's about togetherness and having a bigger picture than six months. In another six months, a culture will be developed, a way of doing things will be developed. Not only by miles, but sometimes in inches we'll continue to improve and emerge on the national level and within our conference. It's going to take a lot of hard work and patience. Part of the story is written and there is a lot of hard work to go.
That's it for this year's Cats basketball. I'm sure there is disappointment all around at the McKale center, especially for Nic Wise.
This year's team was mediocre at best and only came together to play as a team on a few occasions. Derrick Williams is a stud and will only get better. I wish Nic the best in the future and will be keeping an eye him on NBA draft day.

NIT Bound?

Arizona's streak of 25 consecutive NCAA berths has come to an end. I think most astute observers coming into the season would have conceded the point. An NCAA tournament run from a group this young, with really only one bona fide NBA talent on the roster, would have been almost miraculous.
Still, I think this group should rate some consideration for one of the post-season tournaments, preferably the NIT.

Arizona Sweeps So Cal Schools, Beats USC 86-84

Arizona battled back in the 2nd half to tie the Trojans of Southern California to take it into overtime but even one overtime wasn't enough. The Cats won in dramatic fashion on the second overtime by beating USC 86-84. It was the second time in two games that the Cats have had to claw their way back after being down at home in the first half. This one was a little more dramatic than the UCLA game.
Arizona fell behind 38-33 in the first half and had a hard time controlling Dwight Lewis all day. Kyle Fogg attempted a three point shot with two tenths of a second left in regulation. Fogg got to the line and hit all three free throws to take the game into overtime. The dramatics didn't end there. Each team battled back and forth and one overtime wasn't enough to decide the victor.
The Cats looked a little more in control in the second overtime and were leading by two points when USC's Marcus Simmons hit a bucket to tie the game with 16.3 seconds left. Nic Wise, who scored 15 points on the night, and was playing his last home game at McKale Center, hit the game winning layup with 1.5 seconds left in the double overtime. He drove through traffic and timed his shot perfectly.

Fogg(y) Mountain Breakdown, Cats win 78-73 over UCLA

I don't know what it is about UCLA and Kyle Fogg but Sean Miller should convince that kid that every opponent is secretly representing the Los Angeles campus for the University of California every time the ball gets rolled out onto the court. It was a first half that was almost reminiscent of the first few games of the OOC schedule. Turnovers, missed assignments, foul trouble inside, shooting that resembled a game in an auto shop, clunkers abounded. UCLA played steady ball but lacked that certain something to put the Cats away, but they certainly looked to be in charge at halftime, up by 10.
