Another Wildcat Update

What a Saturday it was for the Arizona Wildcats. In-state rival, Arizona State, played very tough agianst the Cats, as they came storming back from being down by 15. With 14 seconds to go and the gamed tied at 68, Stoudamire had the ball in his hands. ASU knew it, and he knew it as well: he was going to take the last shot. Stoudamire is well known for his 3 point shooting (by the way, you east coast whores, Stoudamire IS THE BEST SHOOTER IN THE COUNTRY, NOT J.J. REDDICK), but did he take the 3? Nope, he drove up the key and jump shot it with one hand. The tension rose as I was on my feet. And with six-tenths of a second left, the shot sunk and I jumped for joy, shouting YES at the top of my lungs. We had won the game, but it meant a whole lot more. Lute Olson is now the winningest coach in Pac 10 history over the UCLA great, John Wooden. Olson now has 305 career Pac 10 wins over Wooden's 304. Also, I rooted for Stanford for the first time in my life (God forbid). There was a good reason and that was that they beat Washington, who was looking for their first Pac 10 title in their school history. With Washington's loss and Arizona's win, Arizona is the sole Pac 10 regular season Champ (as it should be). The Pac 10 Tournament begins this Thursday, with Arizona clinching a number 1 seed. They will play 8 seeded California. If Arizona wins, they will move onto the semi finals against the winner of the UCLA Oregon State game Friday. Should Arizona win the Pac 10 Tournament, look for them getting a 1 seed in March Madness.

GO CATS!
