Arizona Vs Colorado 🏀 Game Preview/Discussion Thread 1/4/24 At 730pm ESPN

[lynxaz]

Eddie Lampkin owns Arizona. His injury mid-TCU game is the only reason we advanced.

KJ Simpson is better than Boswell. If Kylan wants to shut me up he will have a dominant game vs KJ. Only way. The game within the game. If Boswell wants to go pro, he will have to show dominance against KJ.

Expecting to see more of the Caleb Love show if Tommy isn't going to flip the script.

Where was your boy Eddie last night?

He literally made Ballo completely ineffective on the offensive end. Did you even watch how many times Eddie put Ballo on the floor? What was Ballo? 1-7 from the field with 1 alley oop at the end of his time on the floor in a 30pt blowout?

You must be allot of fun at parties!

Poor Pert lives in a world where nothing is good enough especailly a win against one of the teams that was undefeated in the pac. He will never be happy poor dude.

What makes you think that we should be happy with something that is expected? I'm confused as to why you think you need extra motivation to merely show up for work and run through the motions. There was no competition last night. What did you learn about this team from the performance? I saw nothing noteworthy or new other than Boswell's role is now morphed into a Gabe York/Kyle Fogg role and Ballo is perhaps the most regressed player in the past 14 months of college basketball being bullied around by someone a lot of immature people make fun of and to use a toxic cbox word "denigrate" the name of Eddie Lampkin at any moment they can while ignoring how he knocked Ballo on his behind almost every time he got the ball.

Don't get mad at me for reporting the facts. That's like being Anti Walter Cronkite. You can always count on me to call it like it is.

How about they are your opinions and I'm not mad I enjoyed us getting back to form lastnight. You call it like a pessimistic ant. Be happy for once Boswell is getting back to himself and winning is never expected in College bb. The only guarantee is ups and downs but you give us downs after ups go figure.

Not to mention the "Simpson > Boswell" argument:

KJ Simpson: 10 points; 5/17 shooting and 0/3 from 3; 2 AST to 8 TO
Kylan Boswell: 14 points; 5/10 shooting and 4/7 from 3; 4 AST to 0 TO

It isn't even a debate at this point.

This isn't the "post your excuses here" thread 😉

Not sure what you expected. That was 4 guys defending anyone with the ball all night with 1 guy sagging off waiting for a bad shot to go up or a bad pass. Colorado would have lost to the College of Biblical Studies last night.

Not sure how that is relevant. This is the Game Discussion thread and Colorado played without their 2 best players. KJ did a good job. Not sure why you compared the two here. Boswell hit the same amount of shots as KJ all unguarded and he only had 2 more assists than KJ. If the shoe were on the other foot, it is a certainty that KJ would have had a better game than Kylan last night. Everyone knows who the better player is. Just because we want to root for our guys doesn't mean that what I say isn't true.

Your quote from Wednesday afternoon: KJ Simpson is better than Boswell. If Kylan wants to shut me up he will have a dominant game vs KJ. Only way. The game within the game. If Boswell wants to go pro, he will have to show dominance against KJ.

That's why it's relevant.  KJ had an opportunity to prove your point that Boswell deserves to be "benched".  Boswell had 3 steals and Simpson was dominated from start to finish in the head-to-head matchup.

Where was the dominance? Tommy literally played a scared zone against Colorado the whole night. There is no instance of dominance in any part of the evaluation on either side. Certainly not on the court nor in the box score. If anything, sadly I must admit that KJ did a far better job with less help and Kylan Fogg. KJ would be doing far more playing next to Caleb Love if we were able to trade 1 for 1 right now. He's already basically a 55-45-90 type player when it boils down to it and that's with no supporting cast. I don't see how you can even debate this. I'm fine with Boswell as a 5th option overall. He's good as a set shooter off the ball now that this is Love's team.

Dominance is a 50 point lead with 2 seconds remaining. Colorado's injuries aside, there wasn't a single matchup where Colorado could feel good about their performance. Arizona was better in every respect except for Ballo's interior game on offense. He tried too hard to take Lampkin, which was unnecessary.

Eddie Lampkin owns Arizona. His injury mid-TCU game is the only reason we advanced.

KJ Simpson is better than Boswell. If Kylan wants to shut me up he will have a dominant game vs KJ. Only way. The game within the game. If Boswell wants to go pro, he will have to show dominance against KJ.

Expecting to see more of the Caleb Love show if Tommy isn't going to flip the script.

You must be allot of fun at parties!

What a lame comment. At least try to use sports knowledge.

Your an idiot dude, you don't even know what I meant by that. You would literally be the worst person in the world to watch a Arizona basketball game with. Just sitting there critiquing every single little thing, can't just sit back and enjoy a good thing Ever.

Another wildly irrelevant comment. Next.
