definitely feels like the pressure is off and we are playing with house money.

Duke is a really strong team no doubt. The positive is that we played them this year already so at least have some kind of idea how our guys match up (minus the fact Krivas was still playing limited minutes for us then ...

Duke this week?

KU

What an unbelievable opportunity for Miller. I thought it would be a little while before he got a job this good again. He’s going to CRUSH it on the recruiting trail.

I still can’t believe this guy has a job coaching basketball. He’s such an entitled, humorless, whiny twat.

Can you imagine being a major booster and having to spend time with this schmuck while he badly pretends to want anything to do with you outside of your money? Barf

Count me among the minority that thinks the SEC deserved all those seeds. Those SEC semifinal games looked like a Final Four.

B10 is garbage. I don't expect anyone from that league in the E8.

Houston is getting to the F4.

There are a couple of brackets that have the Cats playing Lipscomb in the first round. USA Today has posted their final bracket before the announcement later today.

This game today feels more like a bragging rights game than anything else. Houston is a lock for a 1 seed, and even if we win, I think a 4 seed is our ceiling. We really owe these guys some payback.

Cronin at ucla means they're not really going to emerge as any kind of regional or national power any time soon. He inherited an incredible roster from Alford, somehow got to a FF (because Juzang's shooting got hotter than it's ever been previously or since), and now he's been squandering talented ...

Kinda crazy that the season could only have two more games. I don't expect we'll lose in the first round of the NCAAs, but I do expect we'll lose to KU next week. This team hasn't shown the grit necessary to win a game like that.

Beachcat97

The best part of the season was finishing 3 games ahead of Kansas in a league enfuego said we couldn't compete in, and that's without even getting to play them in McKale.

Years from now, will you remember this? Or how we did in the tourney? Because I'm pretty sure it's the latter.

We've had ...

Second tier program + fourth tier coach = home losses to Minnesota

Could really use some hot shooting from Caleb tonight.

Do people really expect Bryant to be back? Seems Lloyd is all in on Koa Peat. Looking him up on 247, Houston is warmer, UA is warm.

Lloyd has said he never talks NIL first.

Reading the tea leaves, I don't expect KP to come to AZ.

It’s a coin flip, but several do anticipate him coming ...

Arizona is a very good team

Just taking some time to gel and some bad luck

Adjusted offense and adjusted defense are good and they are a top team with those combined

As far as the agendas go, there is obviously more behind the scenes than we know in terms of Byrant's playing time

Yeah, I'm not getting the meltdown on social media over not getting him. I think people are thinking back on Gil's past with rose colored glasses a bit.

Also, did anyone think we'd be 8-1 in the Big 12 with this lineup? Not saying we should do the OKG thing like Football, but it's not like ...

Hurley is such a miserable prick. How does he still have that job? Not like it’s a good job, but ffs, you’d think even ASU could do better. Cronin should be available soon.

It was always going to be dicey leaping out of the Pac and into a MUCH better league, right as the NIL era was moving into full swing. Tommy benefited greatly from inheriting some of the talent left on Miller's final roster (and his incoming recruits). But we're now entirely on the other side of ...

Never wanted Miller to go.

Still, I like Tommy and think he’ll turn this around. If he doesn’t within a year or two, he’ll be let go.

Feel like his interest in AZ has nothing to do with his dad's having played here and everything to do with his and his dad's perception of the program's current direction and coaching staff.

Again, we lost some truly dynamic offensive players in Keshad, Pelle and Oumar. These three carried the team at times last season, particularly when Love's shot wasn't falling. Now that we're even more reliant on Love, along with decent (not great) shooters Bradley and Lewis, we are just vulnerable ...
