I see their 5 star freshman, 1st round NBA pick Joson Sanon is gonna play today after missing most their conference games with a high ankle sprain. Hopefully Gilbert and Heise show him what's up like they did that kid from Baylor. This game actually worries me more than the Arizona game. ASU I think shares the ball pretty well and about 6 different guys can get hot. Arizona just has that punk Love. If we can be locked in and play well today, it'll sure make Monday night easier.

I'd be careful there. They have plenty besides Love. I can tell you what AZ has:

Most AZ fans think Jaden Bradley is their best player, and I can see why. He's certainly more efficient and has a better mentality from a team standpoint. He's also their best defender.

Caleb Love is a classic streaky inefficient high-volume scorer. The ball sticks on him and he's a selfish chucker. He doesn't play with great effort. Yeah he can hang 30, but it's not a Jefferson 30 that makes everyone better.

That KJ kid will play at the 3rd guard the most, even tho the white kid might start. KJ's game is similar to Bradley. Arguably better than Love, but not quite as compelling.

Combined on both ends, those 3 guards match up the best with Lipsey Gilbert Jones, even better than Houston will. I said What I said. And their building is legit.

Their 4 bigs they rotate in will give our bigs issues with their quickness and athleticism, but we should be able to beat them up too. Similar to Tech. I'm not as worried about their front court overall but they're not to be taken lightly either.
