U of A sports!

HEY THERE WILDCATS THIS IS ALEX BUDISH BRINGING YOU ALL THAT IS U OF A SPORTS.

WELL IT WAS AN INTERESTING SPORTS WEEKEND FOR THE U OF A CATS, BUT ITS ONLY GONNA GET MORE CRAZY SO LETS SEE WHATS GOING ON.

WELL THE WOMENS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM HAS PLENTY OF REASON TO CELEBRATE. AS THE NUMBER 24 RANKED TEAM EARNED ON OF THE 13 AT LARGE BIDS TO THIS YEARS NCAA NATIONALS IN INDIANA. THIS IS THE FIRST NATIONAL BID FOR THE LADY CATS SINCE 2001. THIS IS A TEAM THAT HAS NO SENIORS, BUT ARE HANDLEING THE PRESSURE JUST FINE, AND ARE LOOKING TO MAKE A DEEP RUN IN NATIONALS, SO GOOD LUCK LADIES, AND BEAR DOWN.

IN SOME VERY EXCITING WOMENS HOOPS NEWS, THE LADY CATS HAVE MOVED TO 2-0 IN THE IONA TOURNAMENT DEFEATING THE TOURNAMENT HOST 75-70 IN OT ON SATURDAY, AND YESTERDAY DEFEATING MIAMI OF OHIO 91-67. THIS COULD BE A TURNING POINT FOR THE LADY CATS AS THEY SHOWED GOOD BALL MOVEMENT AND RANGE. NEXT WEEK THEY HEAD TO SAN DIEGO TO PARTICIPATE IN THE JHG JAM ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 21 TO TAKE ON THE HOST TEAM SAN DIEGO STATE AT 6:30 P.M. SO GOOD LUCK LADIES, AND BEAR DOWN.

HMMM SO WHAT COULD WE TALK ABOUT NEXT? OH YA FOOTBALL. WELL CATS THE 4 GAME WIN STREAK IN THE PAC-10 WASN’T MEANT TO BE, AS THE CATS CAME LIMPING OUT OF BERKLEY WITH A 24-16 LOSS HANDED TO THEM, MAKING THE ROSE BOWL DREAM A MUCH HARDER (BUT STILL DOABLE) GOAL. THE CATS WERE JUST OUTPLAYED, BY A TEAM WITHOUT THEIR BEST PLAYER. BUT THAT WASN’T THE DOWNFALL FOR THE CATS, IT TOOK A STELLAR GAME FROM BACKUP RUNNING BACK SHANE VEREEN, A RIDCULOUS TACKLE FROM THE OREGON KICKER, AND A BLANTANT NO-CALL TO HELP THE CATS FALL. SO BASICALLY SAME OLD STORY. WITH THE LOSS, THE CATS FALL TO 6-3 ON THE SEASON, WITH A 4-2 RECORD IN CONFERENCE, AND AS MUCH AS I HATE TO SAY IT, NO MORE RANKINGS, BUT THAT DOESN’T MATTER. BUT I DO HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS, COLLEGE GAMEDAY HAS PICKED THE UPCOMING OREGON ARIZONA GAME TO HOST THEIR SHOW. ABC HAS PICKED UP THE GAME BUT THERE IS NO OFFICIAL TIME YET. BUT THIS GAME MEANS EVERYTHING FOR ARIZONA. NO WIN, NO ROSE BOWL. THE CATS NEED TO WIN OUT IF THE WANT TO SEE OHIO STATE IN PASADENA, SO DON’T GIVE UP YET CATS, ILL HAVE ANALYSIS ON THE GAME WEDNESDAY SO STAY TUNED.

AND FINALLY, ITS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR CATS, COLLEGE BASKETBALL IS OFFICIALLY BACK IN TUCSON. ARIZONA STARTED OFF THE SEAN MILLER ERA WITH A WIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON OVER THE ALWAYS FIRCE NORTHERN ARIZONA 87-70 TO MOVE TO 1-0 ON THE SEASON. ARIZONA HAD THEIR 23 POINT SECOND HALF LEAD AS THEY COOLED BUT REALLY SHOWED GOOD DEPTH IN THIS ONE. FRESHMAN SOLOMON HILL LEAD THE CATS WITH 17 POINTS AND NICY WISE CHIPPED IN 15 BIG ONES HIMSELF. JAMELLE HORNE STEPPED INTO HIS PRESSURE ROLL NICELY, ADDING A DOUBLE DOUBLE OF 14 POINTS AND 11 BOARDS, AND KYLE FOGG ADDED 10 AS WELL. UP NEXT FOR THE CATS IS A BATTLE WITH RICE UNIVERSITY THIS THURSDAY AT 8:30 SO MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR TICKETS, CAUSE ITS MILLER TIME.

WELL CATS I THINK THAT’S GONNA DO IT FOR ME, THIS IS ALEX “I STILL SMELL THE ROSES” BUDISH SAYING BEAR DOWN AND ILL SEE YOU AT THE GAME.
