Also, there were others before me on this thread talking about tech and Arizona. Did you tell them anything Mr policeman?

Literally the last 5 posts in the Big 12 thread are discussing Tech/Arizona

Do you think that we match up better with them, or do you just not want to play Tech?

27

I think Tech is pretty good, they beat us once in Houston, so I think playing Az is easier win


28

We beat Arizona by like 4 points. They are just as tough. And we very much could have won that game against Tech.

Almost over, Az 82 TT 74,1;24 left

I definitely think we match up better against Arizona than Tech when Tech is actually healthy. As the rosters stand right now, Arizona may be a little tougher. One nice thing though is that if we play Arizona in the final then we for sure wont have them in our region which is good for the league. So I think that’s what I’m rooting for.

Yeah, you are right. We should beat tech here at home. That game upset me so much, lol
 I had to turn tv off

32

both will be tough without jwan

tech at full strength would be a tougher matchup
but they wont be


tech as is is probably the easier win

but arizona will be good prep for the tourney
 they dont give easy 3s
 and i think overcoming that will be good for this team

You picking the Coogs?

35

we struggle combo of super athletic guards and volume 3 point shooting and tech has that in droves

arizona is no walk in the park either but we did beat them at mckale despite sharp going 0fer and no offense for most of that game in general

Overtime would be beautiful.

KenPom Tech 7, AZ 14. Considering injuries, AZ is the tougher team currently.

38

That doesn’t really matter. It’s about matchups and style of play. Arizona has athletic starting 5 that are physical. The good news with them is they usually are submissive to their opponent’s pace.

39

yes
 we can defend arizona
 they dont have shooters
 they arent a great low post scoring
 they score by pushing the pace and scoring in transition 
 with or without uzan we arent giving them that 

the option i think are likely are we win in a low scoring afair
 or we win in a blowout, if we find a way to score
 love would need a crazy game to beat us or crazy fts
 thats possible

That and AP rankings have become outdated.
