Blow out right now.

Lots of Cats players hitting the floor when UA has the ball. Uncalled moving picks when the Howland thugs have it.

Athletically, UA can compete. Can they overcome thug ball, on the road? We'll see.

Arizona's Finest

Nope.

I do think we can say one thing though. If there is any trajectory of a top coach that KO should aspire too it is Howland.

I'm still not convinced he will recruit like Lute did but I do think Wildcat teams are going to get alot tougher and look like this UCLA team in a couple years in terms of pressure and defense.

Unfortunately that hasn't quite been the case tonight.

UCLA is a cut above.

Again I have to laugh. THe dirtiest play by far in this game was Chase Budinger's shoulder block and then shove of Shipp on a breakaway. The refs agreed they called an intentional and warned Chase and the UA bench.

The dirtiest play in the ASU game was an ASU player drilling Collison into the basket standard.

Yet somehow UCLA is the one getting accused of "thug ball".

OH well, keep up the woofing it seems to be working against you Skorp.

On 2nd thought, the dirtiest play of the game was NOT when Budinger tried to take out Shipp on the break. It was in the first half when Shipp was dribbling upcourt and Bayless got crossed up and stuck his foot out and intentionally tripped Shipp.

Even ESPN caught that one on replay and pointed out he did it on purpose.
