That Was Fun While it Lasted; WSU 78 - UA 60

by Smooty on Feb 7, 2010 9:05 AM PST in Arizona Wildcats Basketball

Punked in Pullman. This will be quick, as it is Super Sunday. Three days ago, whispers of The Streak continuing started to surface. Now? Arizona is 12-11 (6-5), and based on the mediocrity of the team, and the Pac-10 in general, Arizona has to be considered at the moment on the outside of the NCAA tournament.

Now, a significant run to close the season, or a Pac-10 tournament win, obviously could change all that. Let's see what Coach Miller has up his sleeve. The margin of error shrunk dramatically in 80 minutes of basketball.

Didn't see U-Dub, but saw a good chunk of Wazzu

Lots of empty trips. That’s what you live with this year as guys figure out where they’re supposed to be and what they’re supposed to do.

They clearly weren’t ready for the crowd. But more to the point, this team does lots of dumb things with the ball. On defense we got back-doored and back-doored and back-doored. The effort was there while it was close, and to keep coming back but you could tell that they weren’t ready to play a team that runs really precise cuts.

The thing I like about Miller’s team so far though… they just keep playing. Nobody is running away with this sorry league. So just keep playing.

agree doc to an extent

I think the active big guy in the middle gives Dwill matchup issues as the same thing happened at McKale. I don’t mind them taking jump shots, just want them to make a few of them.

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
