The Arizona Wildcats' shooting woes continue

The Arizona Wildcats' shooting woes continue. Arizona loses to the Colorado Buffaloes 71-58, and unfortunately, the current road trip is not over.  It's on to Salt Lake and another "tough one" as the Wildcats face Utah on Sunday.

I'm a Wildcat fan and always will be. Every loss hurts. I hate to see my Wildcats struggle. It ruins my day and my week. I try to look on the bright side. Arizona does have 20 wins and is currently in a second-place tie in the Pac-12. Arizona has been in the national spotlight for most of the season, keeping pace in the Top 10 polls with the best teams in the country.

As for last night's game, teams like Duke, Michigan, Florida are okay with the fact that Colorado is not on their schedule. Would Duke even attempt to play a non-conference game at Colorado? I'd venture to say, there aren't too many teams in the country that would have beaten the Buffaloes last night.

On the flip side, our freshmen are just getting hammered. Kaleb Tarczewski and Brandon Ashley are struggling and the upperclassmen, Solomon Hill, Mark Lyons and Nick Johnson, can't get in the flow, and, I hate to say it, disappear at times.

Arizona coach Sean Miller must be ready to explode. The good news: The season is not over. Arizona could still get a favorable seeding in the NCAA Tournament and could face the Buffaloes, not only in the Pac-12 Conference Tournament in Las Vegas, but could see them again at a neutral site at the "big dance."

I'll go out on a limb and say Arizona is still capable of beating the Buffaloes, the Duke Blue Devils, the Florida Gators (we already have), the Miami Hurricanes (we already have), Michigan, Ohio State... you name it...the Wildcats aren't DONE! Just frustrated.

Right now the 'Cats can't shoot straight. If, and when, they decide to outdraw an opponent, hit from downtown, hold on to a rebound and defend the ball, things will be different. Remember, it's still the middle of February. There's still time. March Madness awaits.
