The Cats come up short against Colorado in the Tournament Finale, 53-51

It's okay Sean Miller, I'm screaming my head off too... Actually it's not okay. You know why? It's cause the Cats were given a golden opportunity to win the Pac 12 Tournament. The only problem with the opportunity was that it was Colorado gold. The Cats would go up against a team that was playing four games in four nights, a team that they had routed before, a team that was new to the Pac 12, etc. Those should help Arizona win, right? Wrong. The Buffaloes had a solid game plan against the Cats and their leaders stepped up when the Cat's leaders did not step up. The Cats were in a position to win the game, though as they played airtight defense for the last several minutes, but their offense would not take advantage. Down by two with the final possession, the Cats would opt to go for the kill, but the trey was no good. Arizona will not be able to return to March since they've wasted the many opportunities they had this year.

Cats top the Buffs on ESPN, 71-57


Foggy the Frog drives in the lane against Colorado
The Cats got a crucial win against the Buffaloes of Colorado on Thursday night on ESPN. The Cats came off an emotional high in the bay area last week, making it extremely important to ride that momentum for the next few games. The only true obstacle in their way was a winnable game against the 3rd place Buffs on ESPN. The Cats went up by 6 at the half, but viewers missed the first five minutes of the second half. By then,the Buffs had gone on a little run and narrowed the margin. The Cats would then take over as Jesse Perry scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half. The Cats are now tied with the Buffs for third place in the PAC 12. They should look to capitalize on this with their next game against the Utah Utes at the McKale on Saturday.

Cats fall short to the Buffs, 64-63

This game shows exactly what the Cats need and what they lack: a dynamic scorer. Last year, Derrick Williams would've stepped up and take all the key shots (even 3-pointers), but our senior leadership is lacking. The Cats battled the Buffs for the entirety of the game as both teams had slight leads, but the Cats were cold for about 5 minutes and Colorado took a 5 point lead. The Cats came back, but Carlon Brown nailed a huge three-pointer, giving Colorado a one point lead. The Cats had the last possession, but Kevin Parrom missed a game-winning three-pointer. The guard play was lacking as Foggy missed some key free-throws, but Jesse Perry stepped up with 20 points. However it wasn't enough as the Cats drop to 4-3 in the conference and 6th place in the Pac 12.

Cal beats ASU in Tempe, 47-38, ASU fails to make the PAC 12 championship game

Sofele, Anderson, and Maynard stomped the ASU defense and Dennis Erickson's last game in Tempe. Earlier today, Colorado upset Utah to eliminate ASU from the PAC 12 championship game race as UCLA will make the visit to Eugene. ASU had nothing to play for except the difference betweenthe Las Vegas Bowl and the Kraft Fight the Hunger Bowl and their pride on Senior night. They had no pride as they committed 11 penalties for 121 yards including a few personal fouls from Vontaze Burfict. ASU wrapped up their season with four losses to poorer teams and Erickson will definitely be dismissed after a promising start and an awful end.

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.
