again, arizona state, once they're close to within six, a couple of possessions later. >> derrin: what a terrific game, first place cal against the second placed team, arizona. how about parrom from the corner, new yorking down the three-pointer, arizona retakes the lead. ms. going into that shot he was 1 for 9 from the three-point line. one thing you can see about kevin parrom out of the bronx, he does not lack for confidence. >> derrin: robertson off the screen. and williams with the rebound. >> marques: great challenge by the freshman kevin parrom. >> derrin: wise to the lane. williams couldn't handle it. horne comes up with the loose ball. >> marques: wide open on the slip to the highball screen. >> derrin: you mentioned how zhang's presence has impacted williams. parrom wants another three.

here comes gutierrez the other way. cal really struggling from the field. zhang will swing it around. robertson back with a hot hand. gutierrez into the lane. the floater out of bounds off of horne. cal retains possession. subs tuts coming in for arizona. mo mo jones along with kyryl natyazhko. >> marques: right there you saw the impact of the engineers to gutierrez, just didn't have any lip to finish. >> derrin: talk about that injury. a whistle, those of you just joining us, a two-point lead for the second-place team. arizona taking on the top team, derrin horton and marques johnson from the mckale center in tucson, arizona. the students can sense it. the new coach has come in and injected some energy.

they've won three in a row coming into this game. talk about early on at a conference schedule, even though they didn't get a lot of wins, it toughened them up as a team. >> marques: one of the toughest schedules in the country. top five for both teams actually. got blown out of some. denver dropped 49 on them. byu. you see what they've done as the months have progressed. they struggled in december. now in january it all started to come together, the team starting to understand what sean miller is asking of them. >> marques: i think the officials are look together see what the time was on the shot clock. the clock was reset. harris is now standing down recognizeing, going to the monitor to see, as you're allowed to do.

it's going to be an air ball. there is no reset of the shot clock. >> derrin: like

>> marques: sean miller did a nice job diagramming a play. you can see nic wise will come up and set a little back screen right here. williams right coming off the back screen for a basket and get

a pass for an uncontested layup. arizona needs more of the offensive execution so they can get some easy looks at the bucket. right now you see the screen. williams, nice job on the feed. easy, too. that's great execution on the part of the wildcats. >> derrin: i'm surprised how wise, the little guy is able to stick his chest in there. >> marques: you love little guys who got that kind of courage to take the hits from the bigs. >> derrin: derrick williams had four straight 20-point games coming into this one. but max zhang, the seven-footer has neutralized the freshman. >> marques: they know he wants to get to the rim. with the exception of maybe the fed-away jump shot were designed to get in the rim. cal has done a nice job with catches at the short corners. they back off and dare him to shoot the 50-foot jumper where

you can dip in some resistance. you can't contest it. nice defensive strate on the pat of mike montgomery. >> derrin: mike montgomery in his second year. >> marques: hi lie recruited lamont jones out of new york, suspended for a game, more of an attitude thing, give him a chance to refocus, regroup. and he has been on his best behavior since then and played productive basketball. >> derrin: three-point lead. take a look at the offensive rebound. the bears have been all over the board. robertson up strong. a wittal down low. it looks like they've got kevin parrom on that. >> marques: again, robertson carrying this team on his back with the exception of the pump

jump. great to see him after his defensive effort. seven points in that game. >> derrin: it's the front end, theo robertson shoots 79% from the line. >> marques: a couple of hip surgeries, had to sit out an entire season. missed six games because of a foot injury this year. hasn't been hell thinks his entire career. this season, his last go-around for the cal bears, he's done so especially in the paint. >> derrin: we're tied at 45 in the match-up between the two top teams in the pac 10. horne off to dribble. he'll take the jump shot and he knocks it down. >> marques: darrell horne has improved the midrange game and knocking out a three-point shot even though it hasn't been evidenced in this game. >> derrin: robertson up high. christopher knocks down the

dunk! >> marques: patrick christopher setting up mo mo jones and a good call by mike montgomery to go through the net for christopher who has struggled big time. >> derrin: tied again at 47. mo mo jones on the baseline, kicked back out, fogg. now horne from three. >> marques: he can do that. >> derrin: wow! >> marques: against arizona state, scoreless in the first half, slight injury to his foot. thought he couldn't play in the second half. sean miller got in his face and said we need you, 11 big points in the second half arizona against arizona state. >> derrin: traveling on the senior, jerome randle. buthat alley-oop upstairs, christopher struggled, no problem here. >> marques: i've seen this ten times this season. a little back screen, no contact defensively by mo mo jones, the freshman on christopher.

christopher looks at him like, you better recognize, i'm you're from harlem, i'm from compton. it's all good. >> derrin: a three-point lead for the wildcats in second place. here is nic wise from three. front iron. and christopher gets up for the rebound. >> marques: he's done a great job rebounding the basketball in this game. >> derrin: randle stole it away by fog. and a five-point lead for arizona as they come to their feet here at the mckale center. >> marques: time for the senior leadership to step to the forefront for cal or they're going to be in big trouble here at tucson. >> derrin: it is their largest lead for the wildcats. >> marques: they need a bucket on this possession. >> derrin: robertson pump fake into the lane.

uh-oh. and wait a minute. they were looking for traveling. but we've got a foul instead. >> marques: you didn't have to look far. it was right there. robertson was grabbed first. there's seel on the wing. hey, hey, hey. >> derrin: nic wise, they get him, his first foul. christopher from the corner. and he drills it. >> marques: that's play by mike montgomery, that play set up in the huddle. now you get something to go down. it gives you late more confidence going into that jumper by patrick christopher. >> derrin: two-point game. horne on the baseline. mess he can't do too much. sometimes he'll try to do a little too much. he has to stay subtle. stay within the concept of what arizona is trying to do. >> derrin: the freshman williams has been quiet in this game. wise from outside through the lane, goes up strong and he

draws the whistle. >> marques: nic wise, four coaches in four years. how often do you see that? >> derrin: it's only happened one other time in college basketball. had a chance to talk to him about sean miller's style. he said sean miller came in and revamped everything. the other guys were kind of interim coaches. it's been a big adjustment. the good thing is sean miller was a terrific point guard in his own right and has really assisted nic in understanding decision making as he hits nd. >> marques: it helps when you have a coach that sees the game the same way you see

so dangerous.

christopher going up high. we've got a two-point game at the mchale center.

>> derrin: welcome back 59-57, arizona with a two-point lead. our motel 6 sixth man of the game is mo mo jones. >> marques: giving his team the lift they need. right here in transition, pass to the other freshman, kevin parrom for the layup. a strong, aggressive move on the baseline. a little bit of hang time. and penetrate, pull up. midrange game. nothing like it. but the freshman out of all of new york, mo mo jones making a major contribution this afternoon. >> derrin: mo mo jones with ten points in this game. seen him -- they say the main

thing with him is decision making. he's increased his assists. >> marques: he's used to being the man, 41-1 record with coach steve myth at oak hill academy, you're playing with a senior nic wise, you have to learn to play off the basketball and make contributions that way. >> derrin: by the way, the officials are reviewing whether or not there was a anything rant foul. you see vern harris and randy mccall over at the tableng look at jorge gutierrez complaining that he received an elbow. they're right there. >> marques: i don't know. solomon hill, some contact. but it didn't look -- solomon hill took him down. mike montgomery is complaining that there was an intentional or some kind of flagrant foul situation. i didn't see much from solomon

hill on that play. >> derrin: mike montgomery coaching up his team. like sean miller, he says the one thing he wants to see more of from his young team is they need to be a little tougher. he had some great teams in stanford, jacobson, these guys getting on the floor in the pac 10. that's one of the things he wants to see more of from his team. >> marques: i think the stanford teams were tougher than this cal team. arthur lee, julius barnes, the point guard. the officials look at the play and decided there was nothing flagrant by gutierrez. >> derrin: derrick williams wants to work on boykin. he goes up strong.

out of bounds. off of the hand of solomon hill. >> marques: two very similar basketball players. similar size. jamal boykin. boykin does a great job bodying up, bodying up, maintaining position. derrick williams is forced into aly left-handed shot. he thought he would pick up a foul. a lot of contact allowed in this basketball game which is a good game. >> derrin: two-point game. would be rert son off the glass. he'll get the whistle. i think that's going to be it for solomon hill who picks up his fifth foul. one of the things that sean miller doesn't have is a lot of height. that's it for solomon hill. >> marques: he's going to be a terrific player in due time. early success here in tucson, struggled consistently in the pac 10 seep son. great body, great feel for the game.

terrific passer. >> derrin: a battle between the two top teams in the back 10. first place call, second place arizona here at the mckale center. you see -- cal has an rpi of 21. arizona's rpi finally up to about 53. but again, the winner of this one in first place in the pac 10. robertson is approaching his career high of 24. he got earlier this year against ucla. >> marques: talk about a tremendous teammate. nothing, nada, a doughnut against arizona state. this afternoon scoring, he's given a career high performance from theo robertson. >> derrin: 22 points for robertson as we're tied at 59. wise down low. williams up strong and gets the

layup to fall. >> marques: the hands-on display. quick foot work and then the ability for opposite hand on opposite side. >> derrin: just over six minutes left in this one. christopher lost it, but they'll call a foul on kyle fogg. that will be his third. >> marques: shooting three free-throws. patrick christopher on the foul by fogg. again, the setup, you can tell with patrick christopher is feeling good about his jump shot because he works extremely hard to get himself open. he did it on that possession. >> derrin: talk about the contrast in patrick christopher who gets the roll on the front end. the lid was closed in the first half, but he has come alive in the second half. three of six after a 2 for 11 first half. >> marques: spent a lot of times this past summer at the lebron

james skills camp in ohio. mississippi state, evan turner at ohio state, kyle george from fresno state. >> derrin: shooting three. he was fouled outside of the arc. this fro to put cal ahead. >> marques: i'm not just a jump shooter. i slash, i dunk, i rebound. i do a little bit of everything. he's put the total package only display this evening even though the outside shooting has not been there. >> derrin: here comes the trap for the bears as wise pulls it out and pulls the trigger on the jump shot. >> marques: that's a mistake defensively. two guys on the ball. once they retreat and recover, both guys leave the basketball leaving nic wise a wide open free-throw line jump shot. >> derrin: 21 points for wise.

>> marques: theo robertson against kevin parrom. can he quiet robertson? >> derrin: he wants the three. he knocks it down for a career high 25 points for theo robinson. >> marques: fifth year senior going against the two freshman. >> derrin: wise into the corner for parrom. williams with the rebound, strong for the hole. gets the whistle but not the roll. >> marques: some of the foot work on display. a little inside turn by williams, hard one-bounce dribble. then find the body of boykin to create contact. here is a catcher rebounding the turn. trying to get to the free-throw line. he'd love it if the shot goes in. he shoots eight free-throws a game as a freshman. >> derrin: shoots 70%, 11 points today. he has four consecutive 20-point games.

>> marques: and can still approach that today. he played just a game for him, still doing a nice job rebounding. 12 points here with five minutes left to play. >> derrin: what a ball game we have. tied at 65. our 13th tie of this game. >> marques: again, improved the free-throw shooting, over 81% in pac 10 games this season for derrick williams. you can now leave him on the floor at crunch time and not worry. >> derrin: double screen for christopher. rebound by the freshman williams, and they say jump ball as boykin and williams mix it up. >> marques: a lot of stuff going on inside. all three of these guys, boykin, amoke, williams, salt of the earth. after the rebounds, pats on the

butt for each player, got ef ford, good play, good hustle. >> derrin: a jump ball situation. the wildcats want to pass inside to nic wise. they say a bear actually touched it. >> marques: would have gotten there. nice idea by nic wise. fortunately for the bears, they're able to deflect the pass and keep williams from layup. >> derrin: christopher with the zoo steal. wise tried to fight it out. it's a turnover. the tenths of the game. >> marques: freshman mistake. derrick williams is way too casual with the basketball. >> derrin: quick pass down low for the bucket. am monday amoke -- >> marques: i think the intensity and pace of this game by derrick williams, lost the man near the rim who may not have been his man. >> derrin: wise can't cash in on the layup. two-point lead in this battle

for the top of the conference. >> marques: starting to see experience rear its head for cal. its ugly head if you're arizona facing it. >> derrin: traveling called on jamal boykin. break in the action, 67-65, the bears down low with boykin. two-point lead for number on woe we daser the eleae hops aroma thb is ecti tha li ri thee. thats yo se ts as it ente your mouth. the is hits ongu ally th fla ouam adamr. ha bos r inglas s liting on lager maksale f...w our.

>> derrin: what a terrific game we have here at the mckale center. 14 lead changes. 14 ties. a two-point lead for number one cal over number two, the second place team in the pac 10, arizona. darrin horton along with marques johnson. what are you expecting to see as we get down the stretch here? >> marques: cal, the seniors are doing a nice job stepping up. i think sean miller is going to i believe rest derrick williams for a couple of possessions and bring him back in the game and maybe look to set the back screen, kind of free up some success they had earlier with derrick williams. >> derrin: derrick williams has had four consecutive games, 20 points. today has been neutralized somewhat by the bears defense as we take a look at nic wise the

senior. four different coaches in four years. randle has fantastic story lines in this one. >> marques: you talk about the bears neutralizing derrick williams, it's been max zhang coming in, and then the fifth year senior -- >> derrin: kyle fogg, 15 seconds on the shot clock. now the shot clock down to wise. fog will bring it down low. knocked out of his hand. he had another turnover, the 11th one for arizona. >> marques: this is the crunch time of the basketball game. you've got to be secure with the basketball. williams was not on the turnover. kyle fogg way too careless. >> derrin: here is robertson with a new career high in this game. randle under three minutes to go. two-point lead by the first place team in the pac 10.

shot clock under ten. a whistle. a foul against kevin parrom. that will be his third. substitutes are coming in. again, three time-outs remaining for cal. two for arizona. see the possession favoring the bears. >> marques: arizona next time they commit a foul, they have nine in this game. the pressure of the defense. they have to stop the penetration without fouling. arizona can't do that. theo gets to the free-throw line. >> derrin: he has been eight for eight from the line today. make it 9 for 9. 2:49 remaining at the mckale center. california has never in the history of their program come into the desert and swept this

series. they beat arizona state on thursday, and now with a four-point lead gns the wildcats of arizona. wise splits the double-team and a blocking foul by robertson. >> marques: mike montgomery thought they did a pretty good job with their position defensively. again, nic wise puts so much pressure on you. and he's got the starting lineup back on the floor after a brief rest for the freshman derrick williams who needed it because he was kind of throwing the ball away, got a little fatigued, not making his normal decisions with the basketball. >> derrin: saw the graphic there talking about the sweep in the desert. nic wise's first free-throw is good, 89% for him with a great free-throw shooters in the history of arizona basketball.

>> marques: cal coming down at the offensive end. theo robertson, he's been there for us, he's done a great job helping you maintain the lead. patrick christopher coming off with some double screens. >> derrin: two-point lead for kachlt, 69-67. theo robertson our winning touch player of the game.

>> marques: he's got it going on from the outside. he is a massive nightmare because of his ability to keep the ball. he can put it on the floor. he's strong, physical. does a nice job. he gets to the free-throw line. knocking down free-throws. >> derrin: theo robertson, such a fantastic story. a guy who came off a game where he wasn't able to hit a bucket, now with a career high. >> marques: theo is doing what he's got to do to help his team maintain first play in the pac 10 conference at the turn, at the midway point. >> derrin: had a chance to watch wildcats practice. shawn miller was adamant saying, hey, being in first place on february 1st. that's significant. this young team, really not a lot of expectations. so young. we talked about the six sophomores, seven freshmen and now to find themselves within two points against the top team, very experienced cal team that's

impressive to say the least. >> marques: you find a way to pull out this victory in this victory against a senior latent arizona team, cal team is going to be a boost for your confidence. >> derrin: amoke's jump shot on the baseline no good. it goes out of bounds for kevin parrom. >> marques: showed a lot of frustration, veryism press sive on that play. you got to keep the mind set focused and make the plays you've got to make to let the officials get to your head. >> derrin: christopher tried to shoot over mo mo jones. >> marques: almost over and back violation by kevin parrom. the frustration manifests itself in sifrnt ways. >> derrin: two minutes to go. two-point game. mo mo jones into the lane. left hand, can't get the roll. robertson with yet another rebound.

>> marques: good shots are far and few between for this arizona basketball team. it gives you an idea of how well cal has played defense here down the stretch. >> derrin: robertson. parrom on him. christopher through the lane and in the quick hands of mo mo jones to knock s: i love the fact christoph pu it on floor trying to make stuff happen. there's the hand from nic wise and mo mo mo collapsing on him. >> derrin: mo mo with quality minutes heading to the bench as they come back with kyle fogg. >> marques: nic wise, back screen action for derrick williams, an easy bucket in the first part of the second half. >> derrin: horne to derrick williams! >> marques: williams has the sure hands inside.

given the opportunity with the quick finish. >> derrin: they come to their feet at mckale center. we're tied at 69. how about the weak side help by horne who gets if block? wise quickly in transition. and arizona with the lead! >> marques: two big-time plays at both ends of the floor for the wildcats. as you mention, jamelle horne on robertson gets it out of here. nic wise, that was not an easy shot, my friends. a little off balance. a little off balance. was able to knock it down.

♪ the foul ton

the theo robertson into the left side to draw and attract the defense. nice execution on the part of the cal bears. >> derrin: you're sending one of the great free-throw shooters in the nation to the line, jerome randle who shoots 93% from the line and hits the first of three. this one to tie things up. >> marques: i don't want to put the hex on it. there's just some certain things in basketball. this dude knocks it down. >> derrin: i don't think you can put the hex on 93%. it's for the lead. rattles it home. mechanics that's about as much as a hex will work on

>> derrin: nic wise, the senior stepping up to lead arizona. >> marques: he's done a great job in this game, started out the first half knocking down jumpers. cal defenders chose to go beneath the screen, he made them pay for it. he's ot guy that talked about cal and their confidence. he starts knocking down jump shots that impacts his entire basketball approach.

>> derrin: 25 points in this game for wise. he was looking forward to this match-up against jerome randle. they're so familiar with each other. they've been playing against each other for four years. now we have a one-point game. >> marques: what do you do? spread it out? highball screen for nic wise. you better spread this thing out and make cal switch and picking it out. >> derrin: wise to the lane and the foul! . >> marques: senior against senior, wise against randle. advantage wise. >> derrin: without, what a play! >> marques: that was all individual effort on a man that knocked down a couple of buzzer beaters to led his team to victory. i'm taking it, drawing it, knocking it down. >> derrin: he's been so unselfish in helping these

sophomores and freshman. he completes the three-point play to give arizona a two-point lead once again. the shot clock no longer effective. 20 seconds to go. robertson from three! rebounded by boykin. >> marques: cal has to get the basketball back. >> derrin: a time-out called by mike montgomery. as the rebound went into the hands of the bears, a quick time-out. nic wise has been so clutch throughout this season for the wildcats when they needed him, he elevated his game. he did it against lipscomb, comes in with the bucket at the buzzer to give them the one-point lead and then came back the next game against nc state, and he was able to cash in yet another buzzer-beater. and then today, the senior in

this huge game in the pac 10 hits the layup to give his team the lead. >> marques: that shot by north carolina state, a backhanded flip going to his left with a very, very tough difficult shot. but that's what nic wise has touted himself to be. a tough shot on the inside. a lot of contact on jerome randle. >> derrin: they are going nuts here at the mckale center. a two-point lead. if the wildcats win this game, they will be in first place. this young team with six sophomores and seven freshmen coming of age. >> marques: mike montgomery, what do you do? if you're arizona you've got to be alert in terms of cal trying to execute an out-of-bounds play to get a quick shot at the basket. you're down two. you don't want to waste a lot of time. i look for montgomery to get

into his bags of tricks, 20-plus years of coaching and come up with something. coming off a screen or two for an open look, maybe a three-point shot to break the hearts of this tucson crowd if it goes in. >> derrin: gutierrez to inbound it. it's robertson. horne on in. he drives baseline and loses the ball out of bounds. arizona with the possession. >> marques: needed to go to something in a hurry. they did. robertson who has played so well this entire game just could not put it down and maintain control. here is theo, good job, checking up horne ton three-point line. forcing him to put the ball on the floor and forcing him into the turnover. >> derrin: nic wise instantly fouled. it's gutierrez who comes over with the reach-in foul. they'll send the best free-throw shooter that arizona has to the line. nic wise, shooting 89%.

we are at the cumberland county public library and say of the north carolina speaking with author of a home on the field how one championship team inspires hope for the revival of small-town america. mr. cuadros, what made you decide to write this book? >> i decided to write this book because i noticed that what was happening in the the of rural communities in the south and midwest was a space change, a migration of latino immigrants to the small towns that i knew was a way to transform of the culture and those communities. i thought i was a very interesting story and when the

what influence and change the country and for ways and that is a story of is interested in doing and capturing. >> why did you choose styler city what did you find? >> i chose styler city because at the time they had to poultry processing plants, feed mill, about 300 chicken farmers in the county and was an easy choice because the food processing industry is a big generator for white people are migrating from mexico or central america into the small town communities. >> when you're there you are writing about people who didn't want immigrants living in their town but they wanted to benefit from having immigrants living there in the sense of the sood labor they wanted their food cheaper. how did you talk to them about this dichotomy? >> the town is a chicken council it runs on the poultry processing industry, and the people in syler city began to

see the city changed quite rapidly during the nineties and they responded to it in various ways, a lot of confusion, and there was a really interesting and difficult part to capture for the town folks, the longtime residents of syler city. since then, they've come to an accommodation with the migration. syler city is perhaps more than 50% hispanic today and the town has been transformed and changed and that to the economically it has done a lot better. the times are tough now for everybody that there's no doubt the growth of syler city during the nineties and early part of 21st century is due to the chicken workers, the foreign workers that have come and settle there. >> you had a unique approach you used to assimilate the newcomers. why did you choose soccer? >> i choose to the to -- to a

soccer because i was bored, didn't have anything to do. i've played completing high school, and i got involved in a group of boys coaching them and quickly it became apparent to me that there was no varsity team at a high school and the latino boys definitely wanted to play a high school and had been advocating for several years to create a team at the jordan high school. unfortunately the administration didn't think it was a good idea and so i lead an effort to try to get a team together at j.m.. we were successful and had success on the field with these kids but really, the boys served as a means to let you know who the community is, why they've come, with their dreams are, what their hopes are and how they are assimilating into the society. >> what do you think we as a country where government need to do regarding immigration policies, what you think needs to be enacted? >> this is a complex question to answer. the president has called on

beginning a debate about immigration or migration and hopefully that will happen this fall. dreeben proponents to provide some sort of access or pathway to citizenship for some of the migrants who have come and perhaps that is a good idea. there are people of course opposed to that. i think when you look at the kids, the team and where they've been they've grown up here and have gone to the schools here and they have assimilated to the society. they are having children of their own and getting married, having children of their own, and yet the immigration status may be in question. i think that for that population something needs to be done to assist them to integrate into the society. >> are you still in contact with any of the students in the research and? >> i am. i went to one of the kids his son turned 1-year-old last weekend so i went to the birthday party. was actually pretty good.

>> what is the summer program and what role does europe early in the program? >> the summer reading program is a program that is designed to basically get incoming freshmen to read one particular book and then to begin to talk about the issues in that book. and this year they've chosen home on the field which i'm very grateful for so we will be talking about some of the themes and issues in the book itself, issues like immigration, migration, globalization, assimilation, all those issues we've been discussing and what makes it kind of good i think for the university is that the students will be basically reading about people their own age and people that have had a very different experience than they had, and hoping they will be that connectivity between the characters and the readers. >> what is next for you? any books on the horizon? >> i've got a lot of different projects and interested in doing. i think this is a fna
