#6 Arizona +3.5 vs #2 tOSU (ov/un 133.5) Thurs 7:45 TBS

[Jake]

Only being down 4 at half feels pretty good after being down 11.

I think we need to have Williams, Ross, Thomas and Craft on the floor at the same time as much as possible. Having Ross at the 3 spot gives us a longer line up than usual, but we did well with it late in the half.

 

[sflbuck]

At least 3 missed lay ups.

5 missed layups

 

[Onebuckfan]

If they keep making 3's its gonna be a long night..Smith, Ross, or Thompson must score something..AC and DT can't do it all.

 

[Mike80]

Are these refs refusing to call a foul on Aaron Craft's defender because of last game? Serious question.

You see trying to see a conspiracy means these refs are competent enough to pull a conspiracy off without pissing down their legs.

These refs, along with basically every other ref in the NCAA, are not that competent in my IMO.

Thompson has 9 already.

With Scott or Thompson I'd do it. Lenzelle has no offense right now so I'm not sure.

We have to quit helping on the drive and leaving the 3 wide open. Make em make a couple jumpers inside the arc first.

 

[dragurd]

Well in his defence they've given that call on the drive to everyone but Craft

 

[utgrad73]

It seem like the Cats are making every three they. they have made 5/9. Bucks 4/8. not too bad, just make the layups and this score is flipped

 

[OhioState001]

Arizona is going to cool down eventually right? Holy shit I'm proud of our boys for hanging in there. Thomas is a man possessed right now. If they cool down I like our chances because we will be able to run more. If they stay this hot then buckle up.

 

[Tonyank]

well, hoping for a better second half.

Let's look at the bright side, we were down by 11 with about 6 minutes to go: we won the last 6 minutes by 7 points.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Poor first half but they kept it close. Halftime adjustments and lets get the win.

The 'Zona bench wasn't chirping very much the last 7-8 minutes of the half...they know the Bucks aren't gonna fold. I nice 8-10 point run to start the second half by the Bucks would seriously mind-fuck 'Zona...

That's what we always say

The good news is we won't give up 38 points in the second half. The bad news is we are still dealing with non big 10 officials. Right, wrong, or indifferent, our style of play is miserable come tournament time due to the physicality. It's as if you need to balance a Big 10 championship with NCAA expectations. They are literally two different games.

This isn't a referee beef although I think they have been terrible, but Big 10 play just doesn't survive in the tourney unless you get lucky on officiating crews. We weren't lucky tonight.

Let's hope the Bucks can get hot in second half and hope Arizona starts missing more. Defense is rendered useless when you can't at it. Go Bucks.
