This is beachcat's glory season. Absolutely. It's nice to see UCLA basketball rearing its ugly head. There are some built-in disadvantages with UCLA hoops that will keep them stuck in the 2nd or 3rd tier for the time being, and if they strike out with Brown and Zimmerman, you can expect more of the...

Except Michigan football can lure an elite coach. When was the last time UCLA hired an elite coach? And don't say Howland.

Beachcat97

Man the Pac is bad. UW loses at home to Stony Brook and UCLA is getting back to being their post-Wooden selves. I've now seen every team in the top 10 at least once or twice. The only two I really don't think we can beat are Duke and (obviously) UK. So as long as we can lock up a #1 seed in the West...

If either of these things happen, it's on Miller and our upperclassmen.

Oh, and f*** UCLA. Happy to see their "elite" program struggling to stay above .500.

HEH!

Beachcat97

Not concerned about rankings. Just want to see Miller make some adjustments and win some games.

Beachcat97

So the take-away from the latest turn in this thread is: no one understands what Miller is doing with these lineups/rotations, but hopefully Miller himself knows exactly what he's doing and that it'll culminate in a FF. Because if it doesn't, the natives will be beyond restless.

Wannah HEH!

Beachcat97

Wow. People jumping off of the bandwagon left and right. And what's even more troubling is that all the bandwagon-jumper-offers are providing very, very good reasons for doubting this team.

Ok, Salt

Dont disagree but we will have our shot to win it all and we know that. Kentucky sucked all regular season then played well in the tourney last year and we will improve. I just don't worry much about what I believe is a meaningless loss. You still have to win 6 in late March/April I don't see this ...

If we get blown out by someone, let me know. Doubt it happens. Does it matter that we lost by 4 and not 24? A loss is a loss. Is this a serious question? If we lost by 24 to UNLV something would be seriously wrong with the team. I don't think anything is less "seriously wrong" given that we lost by...

If this team loses a MERE 5 times in conference and then of course we ALWAYS lose in the P12 tourney it will be a 7-loss 4-seed. It is likely that out of the following 10 most difficult remaining games that 5 will be losses: @ Oregon: we always lose to a crappy team on the road and we have shown li...

couldn't find the exact post I was looking for, but this one works: As good as he was, Kaminsky didn't beat Arizona. Arizona's inability to score points beat Arizona. Similar to last night. As much as we got eaten up inside, over and over, we still had several shots to take the lead/tie it/win the ...

Utah and uw look like tournament teams, and Colorado, cal, Stanford and ucla could all get in, but as of now I only see the Pac 12 with like 4 bids and Arizona being the only team higher than a like 6 seed If the Pac is as bad as you guys are saying it is, we should only lose like 2 or 3 games in l...

The Pac-12 is hot garbage. Did you forget that Utah and UW are both highly ranked? USC won today on the road at Boston College. The PAC-12 is far from garbage. One elite team, two good ones, and the rest is absolute garbage. Utah and UW better hope they don't lose to one of our 200+ RPI teams other...

If the Ville doesn't get them they run the table in the regular season Yep. The only things that could slow them would be an injury (God-forbid; I wouldn't want to incur that negative karma) or a white-hot shooting opponent. Maybe Florida? Arkansas? We'll see. But still, I have this funny feeling t...

Is UCLA a good NBA showcase? They're not on ESPN, and they haven't sold out a home game since the 70s.

Count me among those who think UK is beatable. The SEC is garbage, so they'll likely waltz through their league schedule. But they have to visit their old nemesis later this week, so loss #1 could happen soon. Beyond that, though, I can't see UK losing until the NCAA tourney. I think the weight of t...

So how much of an impact -- if any -- does yesterday's destruction of UCLA have on the Brown and/or Zimmerman recruitments? How can a program mired in mediocrity and trending downward attract guys of this caliber?

If things hold steady, how much you wanna bet we see Wisconsin in our bracket? The committees love rematches. But I think we can take 'em this year. We've got more bigs to throw at Frankenstein.

And we would have won the national title if Ashley hadn't gotten injured. And UCLA would've won every single tourney in the 80s if they'd cloned Wooden.

PJC is going to be a cornerstone of this program over the next few seasons.

I want to see it. I want to be wrong. Really, I do. I want UCLA to be picked first for the conference and have everyone try to battle them down. Not that fun of a position, to be honest. Still, forget this year, how do you see it changing, regardless of future recruits. It's strange, after 1.5 year...

Prove me wrong please. Even if you had 5 five stars, you can see there is no chemistry. Alford is in over his head. He is used to coaching at the mid major level, but like Dunk City across the street, have no idea how competitive a major conference is. Love how CSA congratulated Pangos towards the ...
