I assume they won't lose another game until maybe the Elite Eight.

Ummmm, not so sure about that. He can be a liability too often still.
It’s what you get when you can’t pay your players.
One rebound shy of a double-double. Where he drives me nuts is with his decision making with the ball. He makes horrible passes when under pressure.

Exactly ... that pass he made right after AZ turned the ball over drove me nuts. He was trying to start a fast break, but given the traffic around him he would have been better served to just cover up and turn the ball over to a guard for a more productive possession.
Fortunately for his sake, he later redeemed himself in my eyes with some crucial rebounds and shots. Good thing for him.

He'll never be confused for Andre Roberson; but he does his job now. He led the team tonight in offensive boards with 4, (9 total, 2nd on the team) and in steals at 2. You'd never would have seen that last year.
That was the calmest I’ve seen him. I think he knows they aren’t very good.
Still a solid win. Kind of an uneventful game actually. Kin going on the 7-0 run by himself was great. Very disappointed in student attendance, but let’s keep rolling. Get the split in Washington and I’ll be satisfied.

I sort of had the same thought/feeling. This was in large part due to the poise and confidence the Buffs displayed with for basically the entire game. They came out expecting that they could win if they played their game, which they did for the most part.
Loved the adjustment made by Tad & Co. when the game was tied at 36. At the beginning of the second half Arizona had figured out how to get the ball into Jeter in the low block. It looked like the Buffs were in trouble. But the Buffs made the adjustments on defense and then went on a run to open up a gap.
One issue they need to work on is having Wright IV being the only option when the shot clock is down to 10 seconds or less. Everybody in the universe knows he's going to try to get something at the rim. It gets a bit too easy to defend.

AZ is clearly down, but even in down years, they’re still trotting 3 and 4 star guys out there. So this is a big fukcing win.
I love how recently we’re finding ways to win even when our big guns don’t go off. Outside of that quick 7-0 run Kin had in about 1 minute, he had only 7 points the rest of the game. Bey scored most of his 9 in the first 5 minutes. Gatling was fairly quiet. Tonight was about defense and Siewert stepping up. Lots of criticism of him on here, but he’s been a rock all year. Yes, occasional lapses on defense and decision making. But how many big men have we EVER had that we ask to play in the low post on both ends but can also step out and hit the 3? He’s causes a lot of matchup problems.

One of the most beautiful things was the arena staff holding the rope on the court and no one even thinking about rushing the court.
**** Sean Miller and **** that red clad horde of nursing home resident fans.
Earlier in the Battey was a bit of a liability defense. He was getting lots on screens and help defense frequently. He seems to have figured things out. Especially when defending in the post. Good luck trying to back that guy down. He isn't moving.

They should be able to get a good deal on Conference tourney T-Shirts at the very least. There may be some other good deals out there too... it is Vegas... wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
