vs Arizona

[COUGinNCW]

Saturday at 5 on Pac12 Network.
No line yet. I'd guess it will be Zona by 8-9.

Arizona is way more talented than WSU but as we've been seeing, gritty D and taking care of the ball will keep the Cougs in most games. Getting some minutes out of Cannon would be a big lift as well.

Hope to see a good crowd on Saturday. WSU will need all the energy they can muster with the short bench.

Vegas has the Cougs as 9 point underdogs.

The Cougs have compensated well for their lack of size but Arizona is going to be a tough match up down low. We will be giving away a lot of height. Hopefully we can force them into turnovers.

Sounds like Cannon has the green light tonight. Not much help inside but helps overall depth.

Couldn't shoot at all and couldn't defend. That was basically talent but we also couldn't get going. There was a stretch in the first half where we missed 7 straight shots with many not only good shots but gimmes.

Good to see Vova' get more minutes. Hopefully another week helps Pollard get a bit healthier with only a Sunday game next week.

Arizona is just plain bigger, faster and stronger. Apparently Elleby has the flu. Bonton got beat up, hopefully he's ok. It looked to me like Miller still has a bit of a limp. Vova seems a little slow to react at times. He nearly had a couple of turnovers because of it. Hopefully he just hasn't adjusted to the quickness of the game. Haven't looked at the stats yet, but last I saw on the scoreboard they out rebounded us by 14 and had 8 steals to our 1. Tough to win like that. Still the guys played hard again.

Elleby looked pretty beat up along with Bonton. Hope they are both okay and ready to do battle with the evil empire next Sunday.

I think we will see unpredictable play all year. With a team put together quickly, plus several young players contributing, they still have a lot to learn. Especially when things aren't going their way. Still, a split is good against the Arizona schools and better than our instate five star cousins did in Seattle.
