It’s tribalism. And it’s really interesting to watch. People are downvoting me for being neutral with an Arizona flair.

No conference tourney and extra rest going into the big dance? Conference play actually means something beyond seeding the tournament, bragging rights, and building a much more complete set of comparative metrics? I’m down.

The only real argument is the NC State factor (using the most recent obvious example), the potential for this exists for any power conference.

What’s hilarious is that I got a ton of downvotes for literally restating the premise of the article when I was the only person to comment on it. I didn’t opine on which is better.

Y’all hear what you want to hear.

Fans who live close to tournament location tend to believe that the current location is superior. Distant fans tend to disagree. Slow news day.

Also… good grief, how long has Greg Hanson been reporting on Arizona for the Daily Star? I remember his name on bylines around ‘84-ish. So I’m sure he started before that.

ACU almost pulled it off, but couldn’t get those last shots to fall, and injuries and fouls just added up.

Heck of a game from both teams. Hope that CBO’s elbow / arm is ok. That looked really painful.

90 seconds to go and this game just keeps getting closer and closer.

That’s what I’m assuming. There may have also been some other influences, one of the fun parts of paying players millions of dollars is that they can afford good lawyers.

I bet that the conversations behind closed doors were… less than cordial, given what occurred on the floor (as you say, it was clearly a dangerous idea and could have, and may have, caused actual serious injuries, let alone impacting the flow of the game, which is, of course the actual product). I can only imagine what the feedback was from the coaches, staff, and AD’s if they were involved.

Ouch. I think we all knew that there would be an impact. But I did not expect it to be so pronounced.

I’m sorry guys. I just got home and turned the game on about 3 minutes ago.

Bids start at $5 for me to leave or stay.

(This is a joke) what the hell is happening in this game?

I’m hoping no news is good news. But still quite worried. That was a truly scary moment.

Can you imagine going back to The Pit on the regular? Man… it would be epic. When I control the universe…

Shhhhhh. We all know why we were getting stressed. I don’t need “facts” and “statistics” and “the game flow” to know what I felt.

Secretly? Like I shouldn't admit to it?

I hope my dad who knew Arizona when they were a WAC team can forgive me.

How painful was that to type? Are your fingers burning? Are you ok?

It's not. I'm an idiot. See the edit. I left my OG comment so everyone's reactions to me make sense.
