We severely struggle with it, especially when things tighten up in the 2H.

Cincy did a gre job of applying a ton of it throughout the game, and at varying degrees. Top locking, denying the DHOs, jumping passing lanes, piss poor reversals on our end, ect. The opportunity was there all day to hit ...

My main thing offensively is more Caleb going downhill please.

It's not what anybody wants to hear but the better team won today and they did so with fundamental TEAM basketball. Boswell has to learn when to hold em and when to fold em. The confidence a point guard shows affects the entire team. What concerns me is now we enter conference play in a weak ...

RaisingArizona

The KJ push off 4 pt swing in regulation and the jump stop pivot foot weirdness out to an FAU three in OT were the two consequential plays of the game. Big swings in high leverage that both were questionable and both went their way. Rather intervening officials IMO. It happens.

Bigger Ben Gordon. But yes, we have to wait one more year.

Would like to add a shooter.

Teams are going to dare us to shoot from deep.

Paulius Murauskas is about as deadeye as it gets supposedly. Boswell can really shoot it as well. Still could use more though.

I hope so but not how many minutes is PM going to get?

We have no clue right now ...

RaisingArizona

I think there is a likelihood that our defense is worlds better with Johnson on the floor. If so I think he gets tons of minutes. Tommy's teams will score the ball. Defend and special things can happen.

If true this would tell me that Zu is probably not returning.

Importing some Tennessee defensive acumen and attitude seems wise.

Tommy won 33 games with the excellent team that Sean left behind. Though Sean left him a good situation it's always hard to win 33 games. He then won 28 with the flawed remnants. He's a terrific basketball coach. Most importantly he's still inexperienced. He will grow. He'll keep having us as a top ...

Everyone is upset. I get it. Tommy just had the best two year start ever. He's terrific and we're lucky to have him. Unlike last year this was not an outrageously talented team. We ...

Terrible end to a great season.

We lost 3 of the top 33 picks in the draft including one of the league's best rookies and won 28 games and the Pac-12 tournament. That's pretty impressive.

Today hurts but big picture another really solid year.

Under CTL we are 14-1 in neutral site games the last 2 seasons with our only loss to Houston in last year's S16 game.

Let that sink in.

And was that really a "neutral court". So 14-1*

Well, not sure McKale North would be considered neutral as well.

This team will end up a 3/4 seed and get bounced the first weekend. The defense is hard to watch.

Or maybe they'll play their best defense when it's win or go home.

So you give Arizona zero chance of a deep tourney run?

Baylor is the team that I'd prefer to miss. They're a flawed team but just so much damn firepower in that backcourt.

RaisingArizona

Honestly I don't think we are the number 4 team in the country. I would say we are comfortably in the top 10-12. The other thing is that if we played every team ranked anywhere above us in a 3 game series they would not sweep us. This tells me we got a chance no matter where we are ranked or ...

We're still 9th in the Net. Does the committee still use the Net to determine seeds?

It's part of the equation to determine seeds, yes.

Much more concerned with staying in the West than whether we are a 1 or 2 seed. Gotta sweep UCLA to ensure we are the most deserving between us of ...

I can't recall ever seeing an Arizona team pivot like this.

I wonder if Pelle was a streaky perimeter shooter in Europe. Good enough shooter. It just seems with both he and Kerr they come in bunches. Perhaps that's the nature of shooting.

If Few retired in three years, and Gonzaga offered to make Tommy the highest paid coach in the sport, anyone think he's turning that down?

I think we'll end up somewhere between 7-10 tomorrow. Beyond that, despite the fact that the rest of the Pac-12 MBB teams are either landfill material or struggling early, we all need to remember that they'll handily rediscover their mojo during Conference play and give us a case of the shpilkes ...

This is completely insane. Small sample size for sure but an effective FG % that is 17% better than number 2?
