Bear Down Wildcats

I think it comes down to the fact that Bennett realized he needed to make changes and went and made them. I'm not sure if Miller has really ever considered 'changing' from the offense, defense, or his coaching style. Watching our women's team's NIT run, I kinda wish Adia Barnes was our coach. What s...

Kobi spent the entire season with the Memphis Grizzlies, but wasn't good enough to get off the bench at UA? Hate that Miller wasted that type of talent.

Jon Wilner's article says all it needs to. I love the DWill, Aaron Gordon, Stanley Johnson, Lauri, and Deandre as much as the next Arizona fan, but I love going into the FiInal Four more. I also would like to cheer guys who come into their own at Arizona. I would be cool if Sean takes this sabbatic...

elriop20

Who besides TJ? Not arguing, just wondering. You could also make the argument nobody believed Kobi would be on a roster last year at this time. But that is in spite of Miller, not because of him. It was kind of bs that Miller benched Kobi going into the final stretch of the season. The kid was very...

What will it take for Miller to be more open minded on his play style?

Duke solved its defensive problems by taking a page from Syracuse's playbook

Altman wouldn't be a bad choice, he can recruit and coach with the best of them. We would have less pac 12 championships, but more final fours.

elriop20

Perspective. In March 1993, Arizona was bounced in the first round for the second year in a row. The '88 Final Four was well in the distance by then. Lute was badgered by the media for not delivering in the tourney. Arizona was blown out in the 2nd round in 1990. Reached the Sweet 16 in '91 and the...

It's called "ZONE" defense sean, his hard head doesn't help this team win

and some how Arizona found a way to not give this dude the ball for the last 10 minutes of our tourny game

"I can got to Arizona's practices like I'm on the team..." said the head of the bribery ring "The coaches, that's the easiest thing, because I know them all - were friends." Again in reference to Arizona Miller is notorious for running a tight ship and not even letting people in during shoot around...

Don't have time to look it up right now, but have most champs from recent seasons had star-level PG play? Is average PG play effectively a deal-breaker? By the way, I'm probably in the minority here in thinking PJC will be good enough to help us to a FF this season. Last year the Zags and NC both h...

Best of luck Chance! Always part of the Wildcat familia. 8-) I'm indifferent to Chance aka Grant Jerret 2.0 and I hate saying that but it's how I feel. I think it's a really foolish decision IMHO. Having said this and moving on from Chance, how many here wish we had landed Bennie Boatwright instead...

Solomon Hill and TJ McConnell should really be the template these players are looking at when deciding if they are ready for the pros. Solomon Hill signed a contract for over $50 million and he was not half the player Dwill was in college, but he stayed four years, developed, and improved his game. ...

Someone explain this to me.

He isn't ready for the NBA and his play time is only going to increase here. If he was a 3-4 year player he could play his way into a long term NBA career.

He's just throwing away his future.

Someone explain to me why we think Kobi is leaving? He has a ton of talent and could really be a great player with another year or two of experience.

Altman is a better X and O coach. Hopefully Miller will adjust and get there soon.

This isn't going to help recruiting battles with Oregon either.

elriop20

This Oregon team really has that 'Nastiness is required' edge Miller use to talk about.

elriop20

Zags also breaking down that Xavier zone like butter.

Do you guys see the way Gonzaga passes and shares the ball?? Def a better 'team' than we were. We had that team chemistry prior to Triers return.

elriop20

Screw ESPN

elriop20

TBH I think Oregon and UCLA are better teams this year. We haven't had any bad losses and we can beat anyone, but usually the better team wins.

elriop20

anyone have a free live stream?

elriop20

If we a top 3 draft pick this year then no excuses, let's get it done and make the final 4.

elriop20

Sometimes relying on your defense doesn't work. Even though Oregon was shooting lights out for a big chunk of of the UCLA game tonight, UCLA could stay in the game because they could keep making buckets. Defense should always be the foundation, but we have to be able to score if we want a championsh...

elriop20

Trier has completely thrown off the team chemistry. He was suppose to be the guy that could take over a game when we needed it like today, but he was just living in brick city with the rest of the team. One reason the patriots are so successful is they change their game plan to take away the strengt...

Just rem watched a game from 2014-2015 season. We were so incredibly stacked that year! Hope we can get back to that level sooner than later.

If Miller ever leaves I hope we go hard after Luke.

Yeah. Most of this year falls on the team itself, but .... one thing that has bugged me since the first year he came here, is something that I'm going to quote from Sean himself, which was in the article about his weight loss...

This topic is more about our program than this team. We were down this year for sure, but our program has underperformed for a long time now.

In that time we've had great coaching, top ten recruiting classes, tons of McDonald all-Americans, and every possible advantage, but we can't seem to get it done. I was a kid when we made it to the F4 in 01' had a chance to go, but didn't because I didn't realize how special that really was. Back th...

Looks like a decent chance to make the E8.

Same Prez who accepted a huge pay increase while massive lay offs were occurring.

elriop20

This is the dumbest story ever. Anyone who works in high stress environments experiences blow ups. It isn't personal or malice, but a coach doing everything possible to get his players in line.

elriop20

This really makes me question SM offensive schemes. Clearly TJM is killing it in the open court without the defense settled. Too bad we didn't run more last year. We were #7 out of 351 teams in adjusted offense last year. But besides that, 3 Elite Eights in 5 years and being ranked #1 for a while, ...

Couldn't ask for a better coach.
