We had to adjust our defense early because of ARIZ's outside shooting. If not for the 18 pts scored by our reserves, we would have been in a deep hole now Halftime: Down 33-36 Key stat(s) FG: WASH 43%, ARIZ 54%Key Players WASH: SG WInston Waldon 7 ptsARIZ: C Luke Rivers 12 pts 2nd Half We couldn't make a good run because ARIZ continues to shoot well; they are now at 59% FG 6:20, Down 59-65 SG Ronnie Peppers scored our next 5 pts. ARIZ taking advantage of our penalty situation and keeps their scoreboard running from the line 3:11, Down 64-69 C Shamel Anderson gets one down low. Down 3. A turnover by ARIZ. ARIZ comes up with a good block. But ARIZ missed on the other end. They fouled PG Brent Green on the act. Green, normally a reliable FT shooter, splits his charities. But we get the offensive rebound. Timeout 1:14, Down 67-69 We go back to C Shamel Anderson on the post. But this time Anderson missed. ARIZ must be thinking of a 2-for-1, hurriedly takes a shot. Missed. Timeout 0:44, Down 67-69 SG Ronnie Peppers missed a potential go ahead 3. ARIZ with the rebound. We foul quickly. ARIZ hits both FTs. Timeout 0:31, Down 67-71 We put in a 3 pt shooters.

Still has a chance but we have to put up a shot quickly. Peppers launches another 3. Missed. Game over. How this loss affects our chance for a (1) seed in the NCAA tournament, is anybody's guess.

According to the recent bubble watch, both teams could potentially get a (1) seed in the NCAA tournament. We protected our home court during our 1st meeting, 78-56. Hare had 23 pts (7 3s) in that game, but no else from STAN scored in double figures 1st Half It was a series of small runs, ties (11), and lead changes (13) for the most part of the 2nd half. Until the last 4 minutes of the game when we were able to disrupt STAN's offense, and came up with plenty of steals. Trailing 32-33, we finished the 1st half with a debilitating 19-2 run to silence their home crowd.

Chatman was all over the court today, either slicing the defense of STAN, and hounding STAN's perimeter players to pick up numerous steals. Chatman was the NCAA finals player of the game last season.
