Wait, you of all people aren't giving us a chance? That's... unexpected.

We just held the OK State team to about HALF their season average. Don't care that they are unranked, that's unreal. I think there is a very good chance we beat ANY team in ANY arena in the country right now. Vegas even has us favored right now.

Houston scares me a lot more--we'll be playing them only 3 days after we play BYU, and that is after a brutal schedule (which we can definitely win out on if we are focused). At the end of the day, there is a good reason why we've been the number 1 team in the country for so long.

Huh? I’m hardly ever bullish on this team away from home against ranked competition. I knew we were gonna lose, and I bet we lose at least two more before the tournament

Houston is gonna win the conference, which sucks because of how dominant we've been so far this season.

Bradly was bad and Peat showed way he will not be a good NBA player, too short

Koa's gonna be one of those players who declares one year too early. He obviously has NBA game, but doesnt have a consistent jumper, struggles with ball pressure, and doesnt know how to play assertively without fouling. One additional year under Tommy would make him a surefire lottery pick and possibly a future all-star by working on these fundamental skills.

KU went on an 8-0 run after this obvious missed travel call.

So they are not giving up the McKale name, but just making it part of an awkward longer name? What else besides McKale Center does the Alkeme Arena contain?

Arizona could've made more money on the deal had it been willing to get rid of the McKale name, but that was a non-negotiable item in these discussions.

I'm not a fan, but I get it

That was one of the worst no calls I've seen all year

Watched Houston play Iowa St last night. Both really good teams I have my doubts if AZ can win.
