Really looking forward to Arizona @ Duke tonight. Love these type of games especially since it's not at a neutral court

I agree. It's awesome that it's at Cameron.

I'm also looking forward to Tennessee @ Wisconsin. The game itself might be 50-something to 40-something but it's a good test for both teams.

After talking with a former teammate who lives in Tucson, I expect my Wildcats to give Duke all they want in Durham and likely win. In that regard, I hate it when the Illini, of which I have been a rabid fan for almost 70 years, play my alma mater, in which case I root for the Illini. When I was in school, I never dreamed that Arizona could ever compete with the Illini...but things change. Regardless, it should be a riveting year for me to watch college hoops.

I like Arizona as well and likely taking the points. I took the over at 151 as well

2:23 left in the first half and the Cats up by 6 at Duke. Too many talented bigs and too many scorers for little Duke to shut anyone down. Filipowski is darned good along with 2 or 3 other young Dukies....but the Cats...like the Illini...can go 11 deep and it looks like Duke has a tough job tonight.

Boswell is having a good game for Arizona. The kid is not yet 18. He came on strong the end of last year. Wish we had signed him.

Completely agree. I don't think he was ever coming here, but it's too bad. He'll be back next year, at a minimum too and potentially the year after.

Boswell with 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists against Duke with 3 minutes left. Only 1 TO I believe.

The announcer just got a call overturned in the Florida-Virginia game and is actively admitting it. Weird.

Arizona just won at Duke by *checks notes* making their free throws.

They must practice free throws.

Both teams making FTs down the stretch. Textbook game of needing FTs to close out. Don't think this team would be able to.

It's not about practicing...it's about practicing the fundamentals that make it easier to put the ball in the net from the same spot over and over. Our guys do not:
1. Get their eyes still. Before doing anything, the player must get square to the basket, balanced on the balls of his feet, and get as close as is comfortable to the rim.
2. Move their eyes vertically ONLY.
3. Use a consistent and short as is comfortable length of lift
4. Use a consistent speed of lift
5. Use a consistent arc of lift.

I’m randomly in Tucson this weekend and watched the game amongst a large Wildcat happy hour crowd. Based on just chatter around me, Boswell is definitely the BMOC.
