Texas A & M undefeated (7-0) at Arizona. Lots and I mean lots of empty seats in the McHale Center.

Don’t let Koch or McNamara know. It will be all over for Arizona.

Their game tonight was not at the McHale Center. It was part of a 4 team "Showcase" at the Talking Stick Arena in Phoenix. Pretty much a home game, but certainly not on their home court. They will bounce back and be a factor in March, as long as the FBI doesn't shut them down...

I'm extremely behind the times here, but what has everyone been ragging on Koch about for the last week? Can you link me the article (I'm assuming we got some bad press)?

That Ayton guy is a freak!

He really is 7'2 with skills should go 1 in the draft or 2 at worst behind Bagley

Koch has been critical of our attendance since the day he stepped foot in the Projo office.

For most of that period, he has been correct. I personally don’t agree with using the crap Brown and Holy Cross games as indicators.

Ditto, I think the big beef some have with Koch and McNamara is that PC doesn't really do much better in attendance percentage wise other than their home game with URI, but they don't mention that. However, I don't care about PC. I want butts in seats at the Ryan Center, at least for the important games.

It was the next 16/20 prediction. The attendance hawking.

Then I hate to bring it up but, for me it is his opinion of Brady.

Arizona's campus in Tuscon is 116 miles (2 hr drive) from Phoenix. It is the ASU campus that is in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe.

ASU to Arizona = URI to Providence in many, many ways. ASU is our kindred soul program.

I think their respective coaches know each other.

Bad analogy.....Arizona and Arizona St are in the same conference......

Yeah but I am sure ASU gets treated like 2nd class citizens just like we do ??

Thank you. I think I have a good handle on the relationships in both cases. Preached the very same thing to a local talk radio show in late 1990's about the similarities between ASU & URI to their more publicized counterparts.
