Bear Down Wildcats

Defense was in the driver seat for the first half of this season and led to great offense. Went to the back of the wagon the second half. Only time it was in the spotlight was when it was absolutely needed. Imo

Pretty much yeah. When Arizona was at it's most dominant was when they were a 5-6 ...

Arizona is currently in the 20/20 adjusted efficiency club fwiw while still being weighed down by heavily relying on last years data.

I don't see how this same crop of players (give Miller credit for that) is as good defensively in the packline. Koloko out 30+ from the basket hedging, Kriisa ...

Ranking Arizona outside of the top ten this morning is legit indefensible. There aren’t ten teams with better and more convincing wins.

Teams with better records:

Gonzaga
Kansas
UCLA
Purdue
Duke, maybe
St. Bonn?
BYU?

Struggling to add more at or above Arizona here.

I get nervous every time Larsson touches the ball. That 30% TO clip at Utah last year has carried over and needs to get fixed fast

Barttorvik still has us 16th as well. We really didn't lose much ground last night and if anything our defensive efficiency improved a bit. Barttorvik ranks us #27 in AdjO and #11 in AdjD. Offensively we're ranked 139th in 3FG%, 154th ...

I absolutely love the way this team has looked the first 3 games. But the 2019-2020 team will forever scar me on getting excited too early. The first few games I thought Nico and Zeke were going to lead us to a Final Four but then that team began to fall apart in December. Of course Covid ...

Ok, to your point about Suggs and Holmgren and their ratings (sorry the reply button does not work on my OS): top ten players are the bread and butter of blue blood programs, however consequential they may be. Every year brings a different box of chocolates. The whole reason I brought that point ...

You can't go into the season with one PG, especially when that one PG has never scored a 2 pt FG in his career.

I'd rather have a PG who can speed the floor with his shooting to open up the driving lanes on the wings and unclog the the paint for the bigs.

Larsson reminds me of Bogdan ...

Retaining Kerr would be huge for Lloyd and our offense. I see a lot of Kevin Pangos in Kerr's game in the few flashes we've seen making smart decisions in ball screen coverages and knocking down the 3.

Never minded Lavin at all, and the old Lavinburger team back in the 2000's on ESPN could be pretty entertaining. It does seem like he's gotten worse since that time though.

Nico's defense has been bad all year, and it's going to become even more apparent as the season goes on.

This isn't mediocrity. I posted it earlier, but Miller's winning percentage is basically the same as Lute. Miller has won a higher % of Pac regular season titles than Lute.

That's what I worry about. We'll forget what mediocrity looks like, get rid of Miller and bring in a new coach who shows us ...

I'm amused by the selective memory incorporated by some of Miller's detractors. For instance, Arizona was damn fortunate to be in the Eite 8 in 2011. Winnable against UCONN? Absolutely. If Derrick Williams doesn't get in early foul trouble (Miller's fault?) then Arizona wins. When he was on the ...

Petrusev and the Zags started slipping ball screens like crazy in the second half, which in turn really spread us out. They either got a dunk, wide open 3, or a drive out of it. Miller's not going to get rid of the high hedge any time soon, so we either have to ICE more ball screens or dramatically ...

Doutrive over Baker? Really?
Absolutely. I don't get the love for Baker, frankly. Doutrive is a superior offensive player in nearly every metric, and was a better defender as well. Doutrive is more athletic, a much better rebounder and younger. If it's a question between those two I'm taking ...

Well of course that roster isn't holding. 97 is just posting what is the current set up without anything in regards to who is leaving being official. Randolph for instance will not be on the roster next year whether he goes the pro route or not. The rest will be sorted out soon.

Arizona will start 3 freshmen next year, I'm 99% confident in that. Along side them will be a sophomore and a RS Senior.
Five teams in the last 10 years have started 3 freshman and have gone on to a Final Four:

2011 UCONN
2012 Kentucky
2013 Michigan
2014 Kentucky
2015 Duke

Three of them ended ...
