All this Arizona love. Can they cover -8?

[Mac4Lyfe]

All I'm hearing about is Arizona as a Final Four team. They've already crowned DA as the best big man in the last 30 years. That tells me AZ is coming in cocky and possibly flat. Buffalo can put up points with a quality offense. I think they can keep up for a half but probably lose down the stretch in the 2nd half. I'm liking Buffalo 1H and will take a flyer on the game including the ML.

[Mac4Lyfe]

I have buffalo +4.5 first half and +8.5 for the game and +320 ML for shits and giggles. If the rims are loose, look out.

[jjgold]

I don’t know that’s a lot of points in these games

[El Nino]

I think the Bulls struggle with the size and versatility of Ayton and Ristic. Trier should run all over them. Took U of A 1st half. They aren't cocky after UCLA took them to OT and Ayton had to ball out and score every point in OT and hold UCLA to 0 pts.

[Chi_archie]

nope

[Mac4Lyfe]

Buffalo may give Zona fits if they start draining 3's. I think Zona may press to get Ayton buckets which may not work in their favor. The Pac10 has been pretty bad this year as well, so we really don't know how good Zona is but I think they're a bit over rated.

[KRIT]

Zona struggles putting teams away, look at all their games, most are close, even against weak competition. On paper, Zona has final four talent, but their coach sucks and the team has their problems. Not sure it's a given they get past Kentucky assuming they win today.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Ayton settling for a couple of poor mid range shots already.

[KRIT]

Another slow start for Arizona. Their last few games they've fallen behind at some point in the first half.

[krk1030]

Zona will roll in the 2nd half.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Zona will roll in the 2nd half.

I don't know. I think Buffalo's scoring offense might really put the pressure on Zona where they might try to keep up. Buffalo's defense is not bad at all and will get stops. Zona in for a cat fight tonight.

[mackave]

Team is trash hate to say it

[kingdom]

this game is fun. hope buffalo has some form of bench at this pace.

This is there pace...

[El Nino]

Cats go on a run. Buffalo timeout, TV timeout. Buffalo scores. Another TV timeout. Unwatchable.

[lonegambler23]

u get some terrible lines

[Plaza23]

Arizona's defense was terrible in the 1st half.

[daneblazer]

Arizona just letting them chuck up shots unopposed. Buffalo has to be shooting 60%

[kingdom]

This is there pace...

0

true. but running with superior athletes without a bench can drain you. i'm assuming they may be 8 deep.

[kingdom]

I'm just waiting on an announcer to say,"you can see why they paid 100,000 to get this guy". you know they are thinking it lol

[Mac4Lyfe]

u get some terrible lines

Only if it doesn't cashes. This one just did.

+4.5 first half

[Mac4Lyfe]

He was severely underpaid.

[kingdom]

He was severely underpaid.

But aren't they all..Most surprising was Kuzma at Utah of all places.

[krk1030]

Arizona has the best player in America and not getting him involved.

Miller is so fukking bad.

[ChiLLx]

Arizona plays almost no defense. That Clark guy on Buff is looking like Isiah Thomas when he was good on the Celtics

Miller sucks, but Ayton not touching the ball is why guards are what wins in March. Regardless who the best player on the team is, more times than not the ball is in the guards hands. Which is also why all the best players in the NBA are guards or wings. No one wants to play through bigs anymore.

[jjgold]

These coaches are so overrated in college

The defensive game plan is horrible. You have two 7 footers, that can defend the rim. And their guards are playing so far off just giving up wide open 3s. It makes no sense. Their guards should be closing out hard on 3 point shooters and forcing Buffalo to drive it and then see if they can finish over Ayton/Ristic.

They make the game way to easy on Buffalo by not even contesting their 3s.

[Plaza23]

Arizona might lose this game. They definitely ain't covering 8. Their defense has no answers

[lakerboy]

Zona wins by 8

[jjgold]

These games can change very very fast but right now it looks like Buffalo will cover

[krk1030]

0 defense

[krk1030]

Near 60 percent shooting.

Zona pathetic

[Plaza23]

I have no clue why when you have two 7 footers on the floor, you are inviting the other team to shoot wide open 3s. It makes no sense. Make those guys drive to the basket. It's a harder shot shooting over Ayton or Ristic, than it is shooting a wide open 3 with nobody within 5 feet of you. I don't care if they are 3 feet behind the line, you can't give that up.

Az needs to shitcan him whenever their season comes to an end.

jackson-Cartwright is straight garbage.
