We don't normally make threads for other sports, but the U of A game tonight is a big enough event that I think we should make an exception.

Bear Down! I spent some time attending UofA and living in Tucson so I'll always be more of a UofA fan over ASU.

Hint: It's the same sport the Suns play.

Good luck to your Wildcats. I have them winning in my bracket and then losing to Gonzaga in the next round.

I know Trier was hot, brought them back and built a lead, but he forced it on his last 4 shots. Should have taken it to the hole and forced a foul in the last 2 minutes.

They never seem to pass the ball to Markannian. He has a sweet shot and I think a future in the NBA.

I'm not sure Sean Miller is a great coach, which is what Wildcat fans expect. He's done less with more talent than a lot of his peers.

Sorry UA fans. It was a good game though. They let down when they were up 8 near the end. That killed them. Xavier kept fighting.

This was the UA team I saw most of the season, they lacked the killer instinct to put a team away or make the last play.
That turned with the win against UCLA in the P12 tournament, but their old habits came back to bite'em in the end.

The ending was hard to watch. It reminded me a little of the recent Suns, where the guards didn't know how to pass the ball or run a credible play down the stretch. Seemed like Markkanen was ignored for most of the 2nd half; I read somewhere that he didn't take a shot for the last 11 minutes of the game. Oops.

Any of you guys watching this Gonzaga vs South Carolina game? Pretty back and forth. South Carolina just tied it 65-65 with 7:39 left. Turn on CBS if you aren't watching.

Oregon fighting and clawing to try to stay in this game, too. Good day for college basketball watching.

Wowww. North Carolina misses 4 straight free throws but still wins by 1 because Oregon can't secure the rebound. Rough loss for UO.
