Nico Mannion will likely play, but be limited by a sore back. If he doesn't practice today, team rules dictate he cannot play.

Josh Green, the team leader in minutes played and by far the best on ball defender, likely won't play.

You guys will run us out of the building if those guys are anything less than 100%.

I guess Arizona fans are lucky no one will be watching.

Looks to be about 10-1 Arizona fans in FC. Figured it'd be about 50/50 anyway.
Bearly any Baylor fans. Did meet Macio's dad though really nice guy.

Blame the football team.

More missed tackles on that Lamb play than total field goals in this game.

Energy is high! Everyone getting minutes playing well!

Men bb looking good. Need to send some of that to the football team.

Clark just cooling on the bench in warmups. Does he plan on playing anymore?
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Playing way better with this rotation of course but Clark being a non-factor again is troubling.

Getting a bad whistle here. Robbed of a 3 off a horrible travel call. Letting the Cats back in.
rudylaw

Up 11 at half despite playing extremely poor last 4 minutes aka when Clark came back in. Hate to beat this horse dead but he's not close to ready to play in games like this. Let the guards continue to carry us. Vital and Freddie played amazing.

Welp, this game has turned a full 180. 18 point lead down to 7 and we haven't scored in the second yet.
rudylaw

Still haven't scored and Vital got his 3rd on one of the worst calls I've seen this year.
rudylaw

Refs are killing us. Vital #4 and I have no idea where the foul is. Flo coming in... oh boy.

Who is bleeding all over the court?

Asking the real questions. Someone sprung a leak for sure.

Sean Miller is the Fat Pat of BB in terms of sweating!
rudylaw

Offensive gameplan is atrocious. Still up 8 somehow. Need more Bandoo and Mayer.
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Energy picked up last few possessions and +5 in that span. I think you have to risk putting Vital back in here for a couple of minutes.
rudylaw

Offense still on life support. Teague is cold as ice... Butler hasn't touched the ball in a long time.
jdrs

Need a basket

Vital fouls out immediately after coming in. Butler has 6 shot attempts.
rudylaw

Mitchell and Teague keep trying to force it down low and are getting rejected every time. What is the problem here??
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Down to 7 again. Extremely hard half to watch.
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bandoo turns it over driving baseline for the 3rd time today. Just let Butler do it.
rudylaw
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Defense is shining especially on loose balls and one and dones.
jdrs

Hope we can hold on to lead and not lose it at the end.

Mayer with an atrocious foul on a three shooter. This game is just... man. Gonna be up 6 after these FTs.

AZ getting a Tuscon whistle. Unwatchable.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Please stop fouling Mannion.
DanaDane

Self destruction.
rudylaw

We're in trouble. 3 and a brutal foul on Bandoo on the rebounder. Down to 3 and AZ has the ball.

5 point trip. What a joke.
