Mr. Camp is very accurate with his assessment of the killer B's. Let's just hope and cross our fingers we dont match up with them in the Pac-10 tourney. As shallow as the Wildcats are... they bring a matchup that just spells trouble for us. We are gonna need "Donk" to do more than what he did against Hill.
Only a few games left so buckle up kids and lets watch these COUGS do work!

In the first half we missed a bunch of easy hoops...basically lay-ups, and there were 2 in the second half I can remember. It's amazing how those come back to bite you (much like missing an extra point in the 1st quarter of a football game). Bayless and Budinger were sensational...both top 10 national recruits out of high school, and they are living up to it. As we all know, when we have guys disappear in games, we just do not have the talent to win, whereas Arizona does. Everyone has to bring their best every night for us to compete in the Pac-10.

On the baseball note, I have a question Tim. Is Creighton a pretty tough squad? And also, I have a feeling they do not, but being from Omaha, do they play in Rosenblatt stadium?

Champ Kind...whammy (I love it),

I also meant to mention the fact that the Cougars need to be clicking on all cylinders to win. If the defense is strong and the shooting is weak...we lose. If the offense is strong and the defense is weak...that'll never happen, so who knows. Thanks for bringing up that point.

As for Creighton, they are picked to finish third in the Missouri Valley Conference (according to Baseball America). It's not a power conference, but there are some good teams, like Wichita State and Southern Illinois (both are projected NCAA teams). As for their home stadium...they play most of their games at the CU Sports Complex, but do play nine games at Rosenblatt this year.

Wright State, who rolls into town this weekend, is also a projected NCAA team. They're picked to finish on top of the Horizon League (can't say there are any other good teams).

Here's what BaseballAmerica.com had to say about the Raiders lineup: Wright State's dangerous lineup is anchored by junior first baseman Jeremy Hamilton, who hit .374 with nine homers and 22 doubles a year ago before earning a spot on Team USA in the summer. Junior shortstop Justin Parker (.379 with a school-record 26 doubles in 2007) and junior third baseman Jeff Mercer (who hit nine homers last year at Dayton before transferring to Wright State) add other power threats.

I like that people are expressing interest in the baseball squad.

P.S. To my man Joe Kane..."Donk" (Aron Baynes) needs to come back to life. He's averaged eight points and five rebounds over the last five games (which included a blowout victory against USC and an easy win over Oregon State). He should be doing much more damage than that. "Donk" is obviously an emotional guy, but sometimes I think his emotions get the best of him.

There was a lot of blame to go around on Sat. Everyone always seems to go after Baynes in our losses. Kind of like the Brink thing to me.

Weaver missed two bunnies in the first half, Cowgill missed a layin, we missed 4 in the first half. Turn that 22 firt half points into 30, things change.

Everyone loved Baynes on Thursday.

Harmeling struggled, we needed his threes, and a couple more from Low.

Weaver struggled some on D.

And yes, Baynes had his troubles. But not defensively. I find it intereting that Bennett gives Cowgill, and sometimes Harmeling a pass, and often talks well about their D, specifically after lesser offensive performances. The reason is that Bennett knows that this team can't win without playing well defensively, but the opposite is not the case.

PS. Like the blog, my first time here.
