I like our kids.  A lot.  They all hustle, they don't give up, even when getting blown out by the 5:00 mark they don't quit.  Some of them do some dumb shi* and as a team aren't gelling, don't look very good, go long stretches without scoring, etc.  But, they aren't concerned more with the NBA.  They are concerned with Arizona basketball.  I'm guessing if you talked with any of them they would tell you how frustrated and disappointed they are with the current situation.  They don't like it and I'm sure they feel it.

I'm behind them 100% and would love to see them have a break out game tonight.  There are no longer any expectations.  At any time I feel like they could turn a corner.  The talent is there in terms of the PAC12.  No, not top 10 or even top 25 but within the PAC we can beat anyone.  Even Washington is not that good and very beatable.

That being said....Utah 73 - 67 Arizona.  Hopefully I'm wrong but it's hard to pick them to win after losing by double digits to WSU at home.  Jiminy Christmas!  Barcello will hit a sweet 2 at the 11:50 mark of the first half and will finish with 2 points.

This team has a little run in them coming up. They still fall short in Vegas but I think they come out of the Rockies with a couple of unexpected Was. AZ 69- UT 64.

Utah 85 - AZ 63

Utah is poised to hand us one of the worst losses of our season. Miller cannot make defensive adjustments because he has nothing to change too. Our idiot pack Line B.S. defense will give up the three point shot all night and, surprise, Utah is #1 in both FG and 3pt % in the conference. My hunch is we will see Chase and Luther hedging a lot up top on D to help with 3 point D, at which time Utah's small, fast lineup will be blowing by and getting easy buckets at the rim. If Jeter stays home, then they will bomb away from 3 point range.

They are not a big team, but they are really deep at guard and wing. They have only 1 player who gets more than 30 per game (Barefield 31.5) but 8 who get 20+

I expect Krystkoviac to exploit their depth and their 3 point shooting early, I think we will see up tempo, run and gun from them - more bad news for the pack line D. 

We beat them in Tucson by slowing it down and limiting their possessions (which is also how Washington and Oregon State beat them) and they are not an especially good rebounding team, but part of that is the high shooting % and they are dead last in steals. USC, UCLA and ASU all tried to run against them and all got beat. We will likely not be able to dictate tempo on their court (again, because of the pack line and the way refs are calling such tight games lately), and to beat them we need to be the one thing we are not - efficient.

But don't worry - its all easily explained away - it is all Schlabach's fault. Miller would be headed to the national championship if only Theilemans had stayed.

Finally took a minute to look up pack line defense. I was wondering since last year why it looks like teams consistently bomb 3 pointers on us along with lots of open dunks.    No stats to back that up, just the eye indicator.  Last year there were times when Ayton and Ristic looked like the keystone cops looking at each other while the other team is dunking on an open basket.
