Wildcats' players, fans sluggish in win...

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: I went to the Arizona/Cal-State Fullerton game last night. I sat in section 9, row 24, seat 11. I found the Arizona players...and the fans sluggish. A crowd of 12,000, give or take a few, watched the Wildcats move to 8-1 with a 73-62 win over the Titans. The Arizona band members weren't exactly rocking and the fans sat back in their seats -- especially a hand full of onlookers behind me who discussed their 8 to 5 job, taking a deep breath every now and then to watch a play, or two.

Maybe the Wildcats and their fans were just looking ahead to Saturday's game in Salt Lake City against the unbeaten 9-0 BYU Cougars. Not the best performance by everyone involved. Wildcats' coach Sean Miller wasn't happy with the 40 minutes of action -- on the court- by his players, but luckily a 22-point performance from Derrick Williams and an off-the-bench, 18 minutes from Kevin Parrom (12 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) helped the Wildcats escape with an 11-point victory. Don't get me wrong, I loved every minute of it. A basketball game at McKale Center center is a happening. It's just sometimes we take things for granted. So, come on fans get with it...it's time for a little attitude. I suspect Miller will be looking for that as well when his players hit the practice court today.

Wildcats Update: BYU was too much for the Wildcats Saturday as the Cougars man-handled Arizona, 87-65. Arizona missed too many shots for the second game in a row and lost for the second time this season to a top-20 team. Time to regroup.
