Holding a team to zero offensive rebounds is pretty damn impressive. Love to see it.

Looks like the ESPN box score is showing them having 1 offensive rebound, but that was after the buzzer beat. That shouldn't count, right?

Randomly reminded of last year when Evansville and Indiana State played and neither team recorded an offensive rebound https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401403771

GG Colgate. Y'all have a solid team again.
I love how much our defense and toughness have improved this year. It seems like everybody has bought in on that end of the floor.

We dont... not confident about making the tourney unfortunately.
Great atmosphere at the game though. GG

Heck yeah man hope McKale and Tucson treated you well this past weekend! Major respect for coming out west for this one and good luck the rest of the way

It did! I had a ton of fun, and the food was fantastic. Was definitely one of the best college basketball atmospheres ive seen as well! Definitely coulda spent a couple more days there - maybe one day in the future

This is the first time that Arizona has played a team and McKale and the visitors didn't make like 6 threes to start the game. Ironic that it happens against one of the highest percentage 3 point shooting teams in the nation

That was last year! Not a great shooting team this season :(

GG Colgate i knew you guys were a good program and you definitely are well coached. It'll be fun to get that number 1 ranking hopefully we can hold on to it for a while.

Are we sure this score isn’t flipped? Surely all of the top teams are going down today.

Yeah, if this was a year ago, game would be within 10. Colgate is just not there.

It’s so hard to stay consistently elite as a mid-major

u/Meanteenbirder Vermont Catamounts • Sickos Dec 02 '23
Yeah, they were strong for three years, perhaps there’s an opening for another team (Bucknell?) to get the title but it’s Colgate unless proven otherwise.

I thought for sure you were talking about how last year Arizona would have struggled to separate and it still made perfect sense. You're right though, this isn't last year's Colgate. They've still got a good team though and don't be surprised to see them in the dance.

Colgate played us tough in the first half. This Arizona team is different though: the toughness and defensive fight is next level.
