Sticking with players who are not playing well is not a winning strategy. And you can of course say that about starters too, but Sean Miller is paid a heaping amount of money to determine who gives his team the best opportunity to win on any given night. Good point. And officials are paid to call f...

Thread shrinking faster than the bench. From 34 posts to 22 in 5 minutes? Forum glitch? Aggressive moderation? Software updates? I see 36 posts. Are you seeing things? I keep refreshing...I see 36 now, but it has bounced between 34 and 22. Yes, I'm seeing things called numbers. It was a legit quest...

POM, this IS a version of a gossip rag. We come here and basically...gossip. Even with PJC's injury and Victor transfer, minutes are starting to shrink a little for Pitts and disappearing for Ristic. That's what is becoming the 6.5.

BigSkyCatinMT

Oh, this looks like fun.... Pretty gross misrepresentation by you and the usual 'misquoter' of anything I said. Or did you just 'attach meaning' for your own purposes? For the record, I'm for player safety first and am fine with holding Parker out for as long as necessary. First, I made an obvious ...

So he was pretty average compared to the rest of the team against ASU.

PJC has a concussion. Should Miller have trotted him out there anyway? I guess in MT, a concussion isn't a good enough reason to be out? I imagine Craig Victor would have played against ASU also. I swear, over the years (going way back through Lute's tenure as well) it seems that about 90% of the t...

6.5 men. Nothing new.

With the latest bracket, someone on Stanford would get a detached retina.

Yep, a game against Iowa.

BigSkyCatinMT

This thread is irrelevant. No 1 seed available. Probably not a 2. Considering a 4-3 road record, 4 more road games, and the PAC tourney...6 losses in a weak conference puts the Cats at a 5 or 6 seed. Current range is looks to be a 3-9 seed.

Eddie Sutton was the first coach ever at JUCO powerhouse CSI in 1968. My family attended many of his later functions. That's been almost half a century. Must be about 80 by now.

I like giving the kids two weeks during conference season where there's only one game . Allows them a little chance to recharge during what is a grueling conference season. The problem is that weeks when we play ASU with no other game scheduled, it's pretty much like taking the entire week off. Goo...

I so knew that Stanford would find a way to gag under Dawkins.

This thread was supposed to be about teams trying to make/miss the tournament.

Isn't there a thread somewhere our fans prove that they can act like Kentucky, Duke, or Kansas fans?

Florida, NC State, and Seton Hall all crapped in their cereal bowls tonight.

I always did like the big non-conference game, but agree with Chicat on the mental issue as well, as it also distracts from the goal of smashing the hell out of the rest of the conference on the way to a title.

BigSkyCatinMT

Last few years, the team wore down. Nick in particular. The rest doesn't hurt.

Wonder if this matters to Ivan Rabb RE: California.

BigSkyCatinMT

I agree with Bangkoks last two posts for the most part. (no particular order) 1) Alford has to win enough recruits that qualify to give him an actual roster. Then we can see if he's worth risking another year or two on. 2) Kent isn't 'Oregon good', but he should be WSU good. He should be enough to i...

Still 3 - if Stanford makes it, and should. Everyone else out, or a long shot.

1/3rd of the way through conference play we can now get a sense of who is bubbly, and who isn't...and now we get to see which teams will cave in. 6 teams in the Pac-12 have 9 or more losses. Washington is going to fold like a rubber accordion. Stanford is currently in, both Oregon schools fighting t...

Oregon moved on their feet much faster on defense than Arizona.

In the second half, I saw a total of 2 minutes where the team moved without the ball on offense.

Standing doesn't produce W's.

Not as good as advertised.

The 'eye test' tells me it's a 4 bid league. The numbers tell a different story. Michigan, K-State, Missouri, etc. So many expected tough opponents sucking hurts.

I can pretty much ignore them all. Except Gus Johnson, and Vitale when he is gushing all things Duke. I like that Walton has a job. Gives me hope for when I'm old and senile. Plus it makes a fun drinking game with friends when he misnames players. Beware the double OT game if he's calling. Death by ...

The problem with Stony Brook isn't their current RPI if you want to go with computer numbers. It's where their RPI will end up. Not a single team in their remaining schedule in the top 150. Most are mid-200's, or sub 300. Even if they go undefeated, their RPI spirals and it becomes a 'bad loss' for ...

U of A, Utah, Stanford and if someone goes on a run or gets a win vs Utah and Arizona. Oregon/Washington are the two with the best chance to do that

I had figured 4 bids. Then Stony Brook and UW's last 3 games changed my mind.

BigSkyCatinMT

3 bids, but who?

Arizona, Utah and ?

Washington will crumble. Colorado has horrible losses. California's best win is Washington, that won't count in the end.

Does that leave Stanford since everyone else sucks?

I see that our rotation has actually gotten shorter than last year. despite the supposed depth. Down to 6 players, as predicted. I count 9 players getting minutes, 7 players getting 10+ in the UTEP game. I'll give you that, but barely. When I first saw the box score, different numbers. 3 for Ristic...
