Cats rally past St. johns, 82-73

The Arizona Wildcats showed poise and resiliency in Madison Square Garden against Steve Lavin's St. Johns team. The Cats got to an early but lost it after halftime. With eight minutes to go, the Cats went on a huge run to come back from an eight point deficit to win 82-73. The Seniors showed poise down the stretch and this game said a lot about the team. Arizona's guard play was exceptional as they hit 14 threes but they'll need the big men to work if they want to beat Miss St in the 2K Classic.

Cards top the Eagles, 21-17

Arizona showed resiliency in almost every position on Sunday, especially at QB. Back-up QB, John Skelton, led the Cardinals to a hole and got them out. Skelton led the Cards up and down the field, but they couldn't get any points. Fortunately, the Cards defense kept Michael Vick in check. The first points of the game came off of a pick-6 by Asante Samuel, but Skelton and Fitzgerald led the Cards down the field to tie the game. Down by three in the 4th quarter, Skelton showed his mettle by leading the Cards to a lead and a victory that was capped off by a pick from AJ Jefferson.

Oregon chops the Tree, 53-30

Stanford ran out of Luck once they faced the Ducks and LaMichael James. James ran for an easy 146 yards as the Duck's super offense overwhelmed everyone in Palo Alto. The Ducks ran out to an early lead while a luck was pestered for the rest of the night. The #4 Cardinal can say goodbye to their BCS hopes as they open the door for Oregon.

Cats suffer an embarrassing loss to Colorado, 48-29

The Wildcats stumbled to last place after a huge and embarrassing loss to Colorado. The loss sent the Cats to last place in the PAC 12 and gave the Buffs a win at Folsom Field. The Cats defense was awful as they let the Buffaloes run all over them, but the real surprise and reason why Arizona lost was because of Nick Foles' turnovers. He fumbled the ball and threw three picks. All Arizona can do know is muster every once of strength they have as they travel to Tempe next Saturday.

North Carolina tops Michigan State 67-55 in the Carrier Classic

HarRison Barnes and the #1 Tar Heels topped Tom Izzo's Spartans in the first Carrie Classic on Veterans Day. President Obama was on deck to observe the young and talented Tar Heels as they look to start the season at first and keep it that way. I think that the Heels are more experienced than last year, giving them a better chance for a Final Four run and put last year's Elite Eight run behind them.

Raiders best the Chargers on TNF, 24-17

Carson Palmer did just enough to get past the San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football as Oakland reclaimed first place in the AFC West. The Chargers never helped themselves as Philip Rivers continued to show he is not the elite quarterback we all thought he was. He continued to make critical mistakes and Oakland did enough to top San Diego. Rookie Denarius Moore caught two of Palmer's touchdowns as the costly quarterback didn't play pretty but at the moment, he's doing what Hue Jackson brought him in for.

Arizona basketball gets past Dusquene, 67-59

Jordin Mayes led the Cats against the Dusquene Dukes with 19 points as the Wildcats managed to rally at the McKale Center. Both teams played sloppily as they couldn't find any rhythm on offense. The Cats defense kept them in the game and they eventually went on a run to put the game away late in the second half. Miller's Cats need to focus on finding team chemistry so they don't commit careless turnovers. I'm sure it will only be a matter of time til the Cats grow together, but they must do it quickly since they have St. Johns coming up soon.
