Having said that, I do understand the evaluation angle to some degree. But they clearly are ready to jump ship either way. The modern roster turnover is beyond insane. Kobi is jumping ship but most think he was planning on being a OAD from the beginning so no huge surprise. Chance is probably just ...

I'm not sure which threads are worse... OP's or riseandfire? Both are terrible

I can't tell if OP is trolling or just saying dumb shit (i guess those two things kind of go hand-in-hand).

I can't think of anyone off the top of my head who have blocked more jump shots than Kadeem. Seems like he gets one a game or so which is insane.

Was at the game last night. Lauri is super skilled. Alkins has great court vision, just needs to add a floater to his offensive arsenal... I think most of his turnovers came from him just running the opponent over (reminds me of Stanley's first few games). Ristic will be fine. Simmons has the potent...

Roster updated, we're gettin closer fellas http://www.arizonawildcats.com/roster.aspx?path=mbball" target="_blank Thanks MainMan. Look forward to seeing the less-heralded new guys. especially Smith, Pinder and Denny. All should add a lot to practices and it wouldn't be surprising if one or more get...

So why don't the real all stars go? I can see CSM sending Chance to get some more minutes in, but you would think someone like Trier should be rewarded for staying. Don't think any more minutes will improve Allen's game. Ristic too could use more minutes to get his confidence back. I think playing ...

Arizona Oregon UCLA Cal USC EVERYONE ELSE Not sure about USC . They're losing a ton. No argument. Just wondering who you have above them... If pressed to rank the Pac now, before we know about injuries, eligibility, etc... 1. AZ 2. OR 3. UCLA (not even Alford can mess up this team, right? Right??) ...

I would. His dunks against NM State and on the 7'6" N'diaye were two of the best dunks in recent memory.

I don't feel that way about Allen or Ristic. Ristic was very very good on offense before Tarc came back and then regressed towards the end of the season, but there was a time when he would consistently get doubled in the post which will be very dangerous for teams to do to us next year. If Ristic ca...

Thon Maker just got cleared to enter the NBA draft. I'm not sure what this means for situations like Rawle though. About college eligibility, nothing. The draft entry rule is a NBA creation.

Guys, Pitt fans weren't even excited about Sean Miller. UNC is the best job in basketball, they're setting their sights way higher, whenever they do go looking for another coach. Coach ain't going anywhere. :lol: you are the guy who sells an heirloom for a quick buck only to find out it is worth mi...

That call against Zeus right before Miller got the tech was ridiculous.

Airizona

5 blocks tonight

Airizona

Which, given the team's record, most starkly illustrates how bad a rebounding and defensive team this is for Miller. Huh? Rebounding margin overall is +11.3, or +9.4 in conference games, which is tops. I think we are the #2 defensive rebounding team in the nation. I would have to look at offensive,...

Great game last night. Very very quiet star, but there are not many players as consistent as he is.

Cracked me up when the announcers thought the 3 he took in the 2nd half was a lob

Airizona

"I've never been more down looking at a team I coached than what I just saw" Rough game and I felt the same, just didn't seem like there was any fire and even though we hit shots to come back our defense was awful. Brooks was running a lay up drill on us all game. I think Oregon took like 25 more sh...

No kidding. Usually the same crowd that is having a meltdown after a loss...gotta disagree or be mad about something

What about gargantuan games? colossal games? enormous games?

It would have been a bigger loss than it is win, but it is real nice to get a win at ASU and start out Hurley's PAC experience with a loss.

The only part I have an issue with is making it seem like a big game. We have played and will play tougher road games this year. Gonzaga was three times the example of all those things. But yes, our basketball program does have an awesome culture. It was a huge game. We lost there the past two year...

LM is next in line.

Airizona

Agree w the post moves and the softer touch around the rim. In terms of overall offense, I am still taking Zeus because he gets the ball down low and is a powerful force and looks to slam it home or at least go up hard with it. You can give the ball in advantageous spot to Dusan down low and he wil...

Airizona

Not many teams can match the intensity that SM coached teams bring. Tough to play hard and well against his defensive schemes for a whole game especially when he is making adjustments that force an opponent to go away from what may have been working for them earlier in the game.

Airizona

Great to see him hitting from deep tonight. He looked comfortable out there and has been super efficient.

I don't think Karnowski (sp?) played last night. Anyone know why?

Always cracks me up when people are talking about how a team will do in the NCAA tournament in November. IT IS NOVEMBER. Every single team has a lot of improving to do to get where they need to be by March. We had a rough go of it over the weekend dealing with injuries and playing sloppy but we came...

Airizona

The versatility and depth of this team has been a big advantage through two games (3 if you count exhibition). There were quite a few different lineups out there tonight and that makes it tough for other teams to defend. I have a feeling this team will be good at finding mismatches because we have s...

I think everyone is outmatched by Westbrook whether they admit it or not. There are some players who just can't be contained and he is one of them.

From the beginning I said this team should be very similar to the 2012 team That is the main problem I have. Nick was a great defender, but he was too short to guard taller guards (if you remember Allen Crab lighting us up). Solo and KP were good defenders but are not as athletic as the 5*s we have...

Exactly gronk, it is important not to lean on certain statistical analyses too heavily as they have flaws and can be skewed. We will be fine in recruiting and hopefully Compton Magic players will come to their senses when they see us winning and UCLA losing

Choo choo there are flaws with Win Share, especially for players like Zeus and Tollefsen. Zeus is not a defender who fills up a stat sheet, and that makes his Win Share less than a player like Rondae or AG. Tollefsen played for a team that did not win a ton of games and there can obviously be a grea...

'12-'13 we were 10th in offensive efficiency and 47th in defensive efficiency. I expect finishing something very similar to that in both departments.

ESPN has recently started showing a good amount of Cal's tweets on their live feed through their website. They don't do that for any other coaches. Drives me crazy.
