Wildcat fans will be craving more from MoMo...




In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: I hope Sean Miller has had time to find a cardilogist. I know he's busy but he'd better head over to the University Medical Center and get logged in with a heart doctor.

His young Arizona Wildcats will certainly continue to make his heart go a little faster than normal. But I guess I shouldn't worry, he seems a lot more calmer on the sidelines than I am at home, on my couch, watching crazy things like MoMo Jones' buzzer-beater last night in Palo Alto.

After squandering two 11-point leads and with its senior point guard on the bench and out of gas, the Arizona Wildcats roared back to defeat the Stanford Cardinal, 71-69, to improve to 8-8 in the Pac-10 and 14-14 overall. Without the outstanding play of two freshmen, Derrick Williams and Mr. Jones, the Wildcats would have flown home to Tucson tonight with their tales between their legs. Instead, they come home with a new lease on life -- rejuvinated, and ready to tangle with UCLA and USC at McKale next week in their final two regular-season games.

Willams netted 24 points and came up with a gigantic block in the final seconds, while Jones scored a personal-best 16 points -- the final bucket coming at the buzzer, a shot that should make all the ESPN highlight reels later tonight. If there is one thing I would ask of Williams, it would be to please make your free throws! He missed four, but he made up for it with his inside play. The Cardinal did not have an answer for him under the basket.

 hanks, Derrick and MoMo for keeping are hopes alive for postseason play.
