How should we be feeling about the Cats returning to the NCAA tournament?

There may be no easy buckets but there are some easy games.

I hope you loaded up on Thanksgiving protein because you’ve got your fan work cut out for you.
It’s game day x 2. Then tomorrow is game day again.
I don’t blame you if you’re focused on the Arizona Wildcats’ football game this evening. When the entire college sporting world is watching your favorite team play it’s kind of a big deal. The Oregon Ducks are trying to make history and the Cats are trying to stomp all over it.
But you’re going to have to do some multitasking this weekend. No matter what happens in Eugene life will go on for the Wildcat Universe. For the UA men’s basketball team it goes on quickly and in a big way.

What’s worse than losing to Stanford, USC and (maybe) Oregon?
Losing to Washington State and then losing to Stanford, USC and Oregon.
As bad as the Arizona Wildcats feel the Oregon State Beavers feel worse. The UA will still be playing in a bowl game while OSU’s postseason chances are on life support following losses to lowly Washington and UCLA even before the debacle against Wazzu.
See? There are still positives to be found in the Wildcat Universe. You just have to look really hard.
