I don't know if this was posted, but the AZ Wildcat forum had a lively conversation about the Aztecs after our defeat of UCLA. They have a lot of respect for us, but still think they will beat us in Hawaii. One guy thinks the Aztecs would be the top team in the PAC-12. He is probably right. mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=106&f=1668&t=10714053

Their fans seem very fair and knowledgable. That's nice.

At least they know about us...those NCST fans from last year had no idea about anything we did...east coast bias...Arizona is going to be favored by 6 or 7 if we play on a neutral court. It will be our hardest game not played against Syracuse on an aircraft carrier this year. It's huge for us. Great preparation for a big team we'll undoubtedly have to play in the tourney.

If we end up meeting they will be by far our biggest test since Syracuse. If Johnson comes in and is effective defensively from the get go I really like our chances in this one.

I think when you go into their house like we did last year and beat them up real good (they never led) in our supposed rebuilding year, you really have no other option but to give us respect.
With that said, I expect a good game from both teams if we meet in the final. I like that we'll have plenty of size to rotate for that game, and our guard game should take care of itself.
The key to a good game for us is playing well in the two games before the championship game, and defending Lyons, Johnson and Ashley.

we need Johnson to be able to hang as they have some bigs that we just can't handle with what we have right now. I think our defense is going to give them some fits, though, particulalry if we don't have to double the post

Reading their board I gather:
1. They respect our program and Fisher. 2. They love how we handled UCLA. 3. They realize we have owned them for the last five years. 4. They admire Franklin. 5. They are very confident in their current team and believe they will beat us. 6. But they are nervous.

For the most part they gave the Aztecs some respect. I would hope so since SDSU has owned them for the last 5 years or so, but they still had some that were pretty arrogant. While I agree that UA may have too much height for the Aztecs this year, it would be a close game and Fisher's teams usually win the close games.

This was not the Aztec opinion but rather some on the Arizona board. I think they were referring to the last five seasons and the overall direction comparing programs. We did not play them in the 34-4 season but they know we would have beaten them. But it is true we have only one two in a row.

I am counting the years where they backed out from playing us since they knew we would win. ;D
