Bear Down Wildcats

Boz would fit in well with the Caleb and the Cats particularly in crunch time:

36% from the field
25% from 3
4 TOs per game

All the road games this first time around are tests. Two wins at Cincy and Morgantown for a team struggling to find its identity is a significant accomplishment even if tougher trips await.

BTW, I watched the last couple of games the next day and thought we did not look as terrible down the stretch ...

To be fair when they scheduled that Wisconsin game a decade ago I’m sure they thought they’d be great.

But saying they played a tough schedule when they only play 8 conference games and they lost 3 of them AND they played Mercer in mid-November is hilarious.

All true but keep in mind Mercer ...

Great thing about JET.

He stuck around until it was his turn to shine.

I wonder if Tommy couldn’t talk Boswell into a Jason Terry ‘96-‘98 role where he comes off the bench about 3-5 minutes into the game and just fucking wreaks havoc. Steals, assists, threes all in a hurry angling for him to win 6th Man of the Year in the Big12. He could have an outsized impact ...

He did not announce for very long but Steve Kerr was an incredible NBA analyst.

Coming to the game late, but remind me why Krivas is not playing 20+ minutes every single game.

went to the game today

Fun atmosphere
Decent UofA turnout

We didn’t adjust to that high screen to free up the 3 point shooter in the first half

I think we should have attacked Edey in the first half to try to get him in foul trouble

The 3 turnovers in a row in the first half really changed ...

Can you name a team that would have beaten Purdue this afternoon in Indy?

If Purdue's guards shoot like they did in the first half and the last couple of minutes, I am not sure anyone can beat them.

We chose to limit Edey and did. We had multiple possessions where we just needed to make the big ...

To be clear, I agreed with everything you posted above except tying in Zion Williamson to SM and Dawkins and the false Schlabach article that libeled SM, Ayton and the U of A -- I think one of the defense lawyers must have leaked to Schlabach that SM had a conversation on tape with Dawkins agreeing ...

atlantakat

Not to beat a dead horse, but my recollection is that Brian Bowen (or perhaps Nasir Little) was more likely the subject of the call in which Dawkins discussed money with SM which Schlabach confabulated in his reporting that it was Ayton. Would be interested in seeing evidence and analysis suggesting ...

Shameless plug but Kerr's recent biography is a great read and has plenty of detail about getting a beat down from John Stockton (in apparent violation of NCAA rules) plus receiving a very conditional offer to come to UA from Lute.

You all think Kerr is going to let this end his season?

He’s not done

see i dont think hes done, not by a long shot. if anyone cared less about themselves and their own self preservation less than Kriisa please show them to me. he would pull a Kevin McHale and ruin his career (if Lloyd would ...

I agree the loan part is dumb. The part that might bite us is he allegedly ask Pinder to delete messages about the loan, A coach telling a player to hide potential evidence is the main thing. It isn't the crime its the coverup.

While IARP is new, this is an important point. The NCAA ...

I keep wanting to say let’s not get ahead of ourselves but we are a quarter of the way through the season. 8 games is a pretty good sample size.

Also, there's something to comparing us to reasonable expectations. On that note, I think we look better than any previous Wildcat team looked in ...

Not sure a good spot to put this, but Sean is 2-0 so he's part of it.

Seems like a good place to put it. And I note that Miller's 2-0 record vs. Coach K is the reason the Cats are on that ...

Miller is a ragana.

How much liberty is allowed to move players from the positions they played most of their minutes?

Kerr played point guard with McMillan at the 2. Likewise Muehlbach was primarily a point guard with Othick a combo.

Coniel played most of the time at the 3 -- certainly anytime Rappis was healthy ...

Larry Demic was first team All Pac 10 and a first round pick in the draft (No. 9). He had an awesome senior year and should be much higher on the list IMHO. Rooks is still too low too.

As for early Lute: where are Eddie Smith and Pete Williams?

Joe Nehls, Jim Rappis and Len Gordy should be on the ...

So HBO has a tapes of FBI wire taps in which Miller: 1. says he is not going to pay a player that was trying to get a higher number from another program by spreading a false rumor that the U of A had put money on the table, and 2. asks for information about which AAU scumbag he may have to deal with ...

The U of A media office blew it by failing to recognize the Powell is not a sports writer -- he is a borderline tabloid level sensationalist.

But methinks Powell must be leaving a few details out about the process.

I can't imagine he was not told up front that Miller would not say a word about ...

I guess you were not around when Tomey left.

I read the article.

It answered questions that I had at the time.

The specific timing has grown hazy, but at the point when Tim Floyd reneged on the job, with no Solomon Hill, no D Will, no Momo, and perhaps no Nic Wise, the roster looked like Jamelle Horne and a bunch of guys that would not be get off the bench on a decent team.

The hiring of Sean Miller ...

I concur that Book was most likely trying to "hustle the hustlers" and was talking out of his nether-regions.

But Coach Miller kept Book around for a long, long time.

That loyalty was misplaced and I do not think it credible that Miller did not know (or have grounds to know) that Book was morally ...

Well it's finally personal for me. I have been on the road for a week, got home last night, fired up the old U-Verse to see the Cats and got static.

After recent testimony, wouldn't it be funny if Schlabach's source misinterpreted the whole thing? Lots to go here, but if an Adidas exec wanted to sign Ayton to an Adidas contract when he got into the NBA, and gave Ayton's family money to get his foot in the door, not sure how the UA really has ...

Who the hell knows. Looks trial isn't set until April 2019 So one more year if it makes it to trial.

My guess is that Book will get a plea deal long before trial.

The following propositions can all be true:

1. Lute Olson did an amazing job taking a program that had completely fallen apart, made it respectable in year one through great coaching of some of low-mid major players that had gone 4-24 the year before supplemented by two gutsy JUCOs and a skinny kid ...

"Mckale was built but it was dead inside outside of really one year in 1976 before Lute took over"

And just to be clear -- this statement is complete BS.

Lute did an amazing job in his first couple of years rebuilding the program after the Ben Lindsey disaster (and the decline in the last couple of years under Snowden) but anyone who was in Tucson in 1972-1977 knows how important Snowden and that time was to establish Tucson as a basketball town ...

Would love to hear from 97 Cats too. I have to think its going to take some time for the dust to settle but 97 Cats (and many others on this board) kept me sane (and entertained) over the past month.

If its a statement from Miller, I don't think he's going to say I am coaching tonight. I think he says he is stepping aside for some period of time and Lorenzo is going to do a great job....

If he was coaching tonight or this year, my gut says the AD would be reading the statement.

Since I have nothing to do but wait for more news, here is my guess about what might have happened to get Miller and UA in this pickle:

Dawkins did indeed have a conversation with Miller in 2016 in which Dawkins suggested money could change hands with regards to Ayton (or Bowen per Hansen and the ...
