    well, i’m not a fan of the early game…. makes it hard for me to watch, but that might also reduce the home court advantage for ucla, since I bet the arena is pretty empty for that game.

    good luck cats

    Upset special: WSU gets past Oregon and Cal, setting up a rematch vs Arizona in Fri’s semi’s. Arizona-Washington for all the marbles – and the right to keep on Dancin’ – Sat on CBS.

  3. Phxcatfan Says:

    I agree that if the Cats make the final game it will be against the Huskies. But we have a long way to go to get there. Good to see Tempe Normal School f0r Teachers not tie for any title even though if Cal would have lost today they still would have won the regular season title because Cal sweep normal.

  4. AzGood! Says:

    To think that if Arizona takes care of business and beats UNLV, BYU, WSU, OSU and ASU like it should, and by that I mean all at McKale, we’d be playing for seedings right now. And I don’t mean PAC-10 Tourney seedings, either. The ‘Cats would be 22-8, 13-5, and with UA’s SOS and RPI (in this not-far-fetched-at-all scenario), Dance No. 26 would be as real as real gets.

  5. vegasallen Says:

    Playing UCLA at “home” and if you win you get rested Cal? That’s what the 4 seed gets? I’d much rather be on the other of the bracket as a 6 or 7 seed.

  6. vegasallen Says:

    Oops, I misread the bracket. Cal wont be resting but I still think the other side of the bracket looks better.

  7. Chad Says:

    I disagree vega.
    Against teams in their bracket, UofA has 5 wins. 2 sweeps. One of Oregon, the other UCLA. And a win against Cal.
    Against the other bracket, UofA only has 4 wins. With only one sweep of Stanford and 2 splits against ASWho? and UDub.

    A lot of people always say ‘It’s so hard to beat a team three times in one season…’.
    BULLSH*T! That’s what losers say.
    It’s actually EASIER for a team that’s won twice previously against a certain team, to beat that same team a third time. It’s psychological. As long as that team doesn’t look to the next game, 90% of the time they make it three in a row.

    Whoop some ass Cats!!!

  8. Chad Says:

    Now…if WSU beats Oregon, we might have an issue.

  9. AzGood! Says:

    A couple of days ago the question was wheteher or not the UA crowd would boo, politely clap for or welcome back O’Neill with thunderous applause. Now knowing that the guy left the floor with his new team in tow and without saying a word or shaking the hands of his old team, I wonder what the sentiment is at this time surrounding this event and this “coach”. Don’t want to say I told you so, but KO is as easy to read as a 5 cent comic book. It’s only too bad the ‘Cats won’t get a chance to beat him and his Trojans again in the PAC-10 Tourney. BTW, anyone else notice right after – I mean right after – the game when Wise turned to what appeared to be the SC bench and waived? Am I wrong in seeing it that way? Sure seemed like it happened that way. Also, anyone know when the FSA repeat of the USC game at McKale is scheduled to play again?

    looks like kent is out, wonder how that affects oregon in the tourny… could be a source of inspiration or could be nothing.

  11. Anthony G. Says:

    KO did go through the handshake line, but left quickly while some other UA players, including Wise, were still celebrating at midcourt.

    I have been a KO “supporter” — mostly because he was put in a nearly impossible situation that year and there is a lot of blame to go around — but it wouldn’t have killed him to seek out the few Arizona guys he knows after the game. Not doing stuff like that helps give KO his prickly reputation … and, for that, he has nobody to blame but himself.

    Not that he cares.

    To me, though, he’s old news now. How about that Sean Miller …

  12. augie Says:

    UCLA is not playing at home. Yes, its in LA, but they have absolutely no fan support!

    They performed better on the road fueled by the home fans energy.

  13. STR Says:

    See that is what I meant when I wrote: Let’s wait and see if he pays his respect to the sole UofA senior Nic Wise that he coached 2 years ago. And now he doesn’t shake the guys hand? Wonderful, I hope his buddy Andy Katz now writes column after column how KO is a douchebag.
    I actually think he should be fined for not lining up to shake hands after the game. Seems like that is one of those unwritten rules.

  14. PHXCATS Fan Says:

    None of that matters. We need to beat UCLA, CAL and WASH in the next 7 days. It probably won’t happen but the U of A fans i have been discussing this season have been talking about this week for three months. I hope the ghost of Lute shows up this week. Go Cats!!!

  15. wildcat in dc Says:

    PHXCATS, you know Lutes not dead right? :)

    Anyway how about a nice little 12 game winning streak? Only 9 more to go. Thats not asking too much is it?

    HA @ 3:48 in the interview!

    Reporter (to Horne) ” What turned you on this weekend?”

    Jamelle looks in Fogg’s direction sort of confused…

    Fogg- “No homo…”

    Hilarious.
