The place was rockin' and that is what separates McKale from all the other Pac-12 arenas. Hopefully Gordon got to watch the game last night.

Great video...still have goosebumps from the game. The atmosphere was great. Had some Gators fans in my section trying to get their "Lets go Gators" chants goin...but every time Cats fans would immediately drown them out with the ARIZONA chant. They were also smugly laughing and talking trash when they were up like 6 with a minute left....and coyly disappeared when the place erupted :D

I think we're more in the 7-10 range right now personally but we should get better as the season progresses. Just way too many young guys getting big important minutes. Looking at the schedule I'd be disappointed if we don't go at least 25-5 before the conference tournament.

I think we were very fortunate to beat Florida, they looked like the better team. But, watching that game I had no doubt that by the end of the season we'd be a noticeably better team than them.

The tournament in Hawaii will be a good tuneup before the Pac-12 season starts. Miami and San Diego State will be tough games if they meet.

That 360 slam by Nick last night wasn't the flashiest dunk I've ever seen but it might have been the smoothest, most effortless one. Incredible.

Not a very impressive effort against ETSU although the talent gap is large enough to allow us to go on cruise control. Hopefully we're saving our best for Miami today. If we play like this against just about anyone else on our schedule, we'll get out butts kicked.

Another game another blow out. Lyons leads the way with 19. Dominated the boards but way too many turnovers still

If Nick Johnson were 3 inches taller he'd probably be a lottery pick

If he stays one more year and refines his game he's a sure-fire top 15 pick

This team is constructed like the late 80s teams and the 97 NC team: not one elite player, but a culmination of very talented players who benefit from one another.

Us Cats fans are very blessed

I think he's a top 15 pick right now although he'll probably have to make the switch to point guard in the NBA. The 2014 draft figures to be a little stronger so I wouldn't be surprised to see him go out after this season.

Great gutsy win! 12-0 and up next our first conference game against Colorado which should also be a tough game

Did not think the Cats would go 12-0 with a young team. Tonight's game was not pretty but San Diego State is going to be a very good team. These close games will be beneficial as the season progresses. The Cats still have a lot of upside. They will be a better team when they get to March.

Imagine what this team will look like when it plays an error-free game against top-tier opponents. We're just scratching the surface. Bear Down!

Do you have a smart phone or tablet that has access to ESPN Scorecenter?

I have the app and it reminds me of all of my favorite teams' schedules and gives an instant alert when the game begins. Helps because I cant memorize schedule worth a damn anymore, especially college games when the starts are TBD.

If the rumors are true the Pac 12 is about to get more interesting.

Not UA related but apparently something on the horizon.

not going to change who the best team in the conference is this year, but could shake up the rest of the year and going forward future years.
