The Rondae Hollis-Jefferson snub for Pac-12 defensive player of the year will have a lasting impact.
Arizona's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson didn't win Pac-12 DPOY. He wasn't real happy about that, and showed it Thursday. http://t.co/l2uM9b2aRz

With all due respect to Gary Payton II, I do not understand how Rondae Hollis-Jefferson did not win Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.

Parker Jackson-Cartwright is a throwback, a good kid.
UA freshman Parker Jackson-Cartwright offered me his locker room chair while I interviewed teammate next to him. That was a 1st. #polite

When Anthony told Hollis-Jefferson this, you should have seen Hollis-Jefferson’s surprised expression.
What happens when RHJ guards T.J. McConnell in practice? TJ: 'It doesn't end too well for him.' RHJ responds: http://t.co/yLwKQexTeW

This is as good of a nine-game stretch the Wildcats have ever had.
#ArizonaWildcats now on nine-game win streak with average margin of victory at 23.1 points in that stretch. #CatHoops

Refs are supposed to react quick to make sure things don’t escalate.
I don't understand why ref did not immediately separate Ashley and Kravish, by the way #ArizonaWildcats lead 66-49 w/2:41 left

Former Arizona player Kevin Parrom noticed that Cal could not defend Brandon Ashley on the blocks as well.
Nobody on Cal can hold @_Bash21 ! PERIOD

If UCLA is concerned about Kevon Looney’s injury below his left eye, the Bruins are not showing it.
Extent of Looney's facial injury unknown by UCLA teammates & coach Steve Alford. Comical C Tony Parker: "I'm not worried.He's already ugly."

Hollis-Jefferson’s one-handed jam deserves another look … and another … and ..
