So my parents were actually at this game — truly a Bobby Hurley unsportsmanlike master class. Why is this man still allowed to coach?

ARIZONA BASKETBALL IS BACK AND NOW IT IS EVERYONE ELSE’S PROBLEM TO DEAL WITH MY INSUFFERABILITY. I was only able to watch the second half because law school and I had a conniption the entire time. My team loves to scare me. Holy hell, I don’t have enough good things to say about Koa Peat, he’s completely clicked in the offense and when he’s alongside Bradley they’re dangerous. God I love the Arizona Wildcats.

Always good to beat em by 30! Truly I think one of the hardest feats of my life was finding a single TV with this game on in Tempe. But I did. Enemy territory? No problem.

Wildcats put on a beat down. Won’t lie, the cats looked a little sloppy out there once they were up by 30 points but you can’t say they haven’t earned a right to take their foot slightly off the gas after they beat Florida. They don’t need to go pedal to the metal for NAU. Easy fixes, less turnovers and finish those layups.

Arizona Basketball is so good for my soul and so damaging to my cardiac health. Cardiac Cats are back and I need to go outside and touch grass to calm down. Jaden Bradley is a baller and we knew that and ADO woke up and remembered that he can be an offensive threat if he wants. God I love Arizona Basketball. We’re SO back.

NO. WORDS. Cats never make anything easy for themselves giving up that lead but that’s been the case for years. Jaden Bradley is being the star I told everyone about last season and nobody listened. Rank us #1. But most importantly, we showed the other Hurley brother who’s in charge. Two brothers, equally sore losers. Cry harder, Hurleys, Arizona OWNS you.

There’s no place like home!! I cannot even begin to explain how amazing it was to be back in McKale. The more things change the more they stay the same. Somehow even on the Monday of Thanksgiving it was packed and loud. The cactus court earned extra points, I was actually really impressed with how good it looked without being distracting in person. As for the game — cats took their foot off the gas quite a bit and was a bit lazy on defense, but you can’t entirely blame them at this point after finally getting a break post beating three ranked teams on the road. The freshmen played amazing, and as a little treat, Carter Bryant was there!! I love the Arizona Wildcats and I’m so glad I got to come home.

EVERYONE WELCOME YOUR NEW NUMBER ONE TEAM IN THE COUNTRY. I know I said I wasn’t going to watch because of my final but I couldn’t help but watch the second half. Like always, the refs freaking hate us, but thank you NCAA for finally giving challenges. Arizona looked like a well oiled machine and McKale’s magic could even be felt through the broadcast. The cats are BACK.

“I don’t know if I’m gonna watch the game, I don’t wanna get riled up when I have to study for finals.” I WATCHED IT. I’M RILED. To see an Arizona team just run these guys into the ground in the second half was insane. 52 rebounds. Burries (almost) 30 piece. I freaking LOVE the Arizona Wildcats. FIRE ME UP.

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie. But dread it all you want, the cats WILL run a team out of the gym, no matter how long it takes. Good contribution from both the starters and the bench tonight, I’m really liking how rounded this team is. BTFD.

WEIRD game man, can’t even lie to you. Shoutout to Bethune though, their defense was tight and I have to give it to them. But goddamn, the refs would not let them play. Krivas got two fouls for… being tall. Tony Padilla is the worst ref in this sport and if he never touched a whistle again it would be too soon. But like always, the real Wildcats found a way to run them out of the gym.

The Cats are undefeated going into conference play!! Listen, no college team goes undefeated (at least since 1976, beat you to it Flame) so it’s nice to enjoy it while it lasts. The boys really didn’t have their foot on the gas for this, but I can’t blame em, they didn’t need to. A very nice, balanced box score shows why this team is dangerous. And that Delly can dunk, who knew?

1-0 in conference play! Utah didn’t give us too much trouble, which I’m happy for. The box score is a thing of beauty, I am so happy to see an Arizona team where pretty much everyone is scoring. I said it last game and I’ll say it again, nobody stays undefeated but I’ll take it as long as I can get it.

4 years later, Bennedict Mathurin absolutely destroying TCU still stands. They did try to scratch and claw into this game, but the only thing they ended up clawing off was Awaka’s jersey (which was somehow a foul on him? Jfc.) It may be a big day for upsets, but not here, stay safe out beyond the #1 spot tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Years of my life are gone, but the cats pull it off. I genuinely hate seeing Bobby Hurley on my screen at all and he is the biggest joke and worst coach I’ve ever seen, and he has more technical fouls against Arizona than wins. Freshmen were a little shaky, but that’s what a first rivalry game will do. Arizona can win tough games, and that’s what matters. It’s forks down, ALWAYS.

no conference win is going to be an easy win in the big12, and this game is the epitome of that. UCF is a formidable team when they’re not vying for an Oscar for their dramatics. Finally, Jaden Bradley is our cornerstone and I love him :)

Kerr Kriisa homecoming game! And he… played for one minute, fouled, and didn’t score. Listen, I’m so nostalgic for the teams he was on and the energy/personality he brought but I can’t say I miss having him on our team. Cincy kept it close for a bit but the cats did their thing and turned on the gas in the second half. A SUPER balanced box score tells you exactly why Arizona is where they’re at right now. Bear down go cats 🔄 bear cats go down

To quote my dad, quoting Tommy Lloyd, “Ass whoopings are free❤️”. Fun time just watching the guys have some fun, they’ve earned an easier game like this. Burries keeps showing the reason this team is dangerous, the scoring was spread out, but anyone at anytime can just pop out and have a 20+ point game. We’re about to go into a tough stretch, but it feels good to be undefeated, and I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.

Super gritty game. Fought until the end, and I’ll give BYU all of their flowers for a really good game. We took our foot off the gas, that’s all there is to it. But it gives me a lot of hope that we could hang on in a game this tight. Even if it took years off of my life. A lot of years. I had to light a candle and I’m now listening to calming music. Cardiac motherfucking cats.

they had me scared in the first half, not gonna lie. It’s a rivalry game in Tempe, I knew the first half was gonna be close. But one thing about the cats that hasn’t changed is that we know how to be a second half team, and we played 40 minutes of basketball. Best start in program history, swept ASU so all things to be happy about. Also very likely Bobby Hurley’s last game against us and shockingly 0 antics (beyond what was expected) from him. Onto the next!

Three letters: BTA. The rest of our schedule is super hard, and I’m sure we won’t come out unscathed, but man, this late in the season? A game like this is FUN. Best start in school and big-12 history can’t help but put a smile on my face. This team is special, I feel it in my bones. Ride on home, cowboys.

To quote gru: “Am I upset? NoOoOo I am not! … a little, BUT”. Hey, the loss was always on the horizon, and Allen Fieldhouse is a damn hard place to walk into and win. We needed the loss to keep us sharp, and starting 23-0 is nothing to scoff at. We’re still an excellent team, iron sharpens iron. Good game, Kansas.

WHAT. A. GAME. Revenge game is won and all is right in the world. They gave us a scare and they clawed their way back into it, but ripping all those 3’s giveth and taketh away. But there’s not much you can do with a Burries 20 piece. So so glad to have Koa and Aristode back, was really happy to see them back on the floor. Lastly, a wtf is a jayhawk, it’s not even a real bird

OH. MY. GOD. JADEN MOTHERFUCKING BRADLEY YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN. The scream I let out for sure scared the guy I was on a date with… but he saw the shot and understood. For a team that did not play up to our full potential, watching them pull this off at the end gave me such hope for March. Screw the championship, this was the game to win. ADO remembered he knows how to play basketball and we’re finally rid of the ugly glass court. I’ve got no words for that shot, other than Iowa must be having deja vu. Caleb Love doesn’t go away, he’s just Jaden Bradley now.
