Bear Down Wildcats

The key to the game is to not turn the ball over, continue to drive and pass inside, get their big in foul trouble, take care to prevent offensive rebounds, watch out for steals, get to the line and make FTs. They are more prone to foul than we are, and that's against lesser teams. Their center foul...

We are the show right now. If Arizona goes on to win it all it will be one of the most memorable NCAA tournaments of all time. People love to watch us play, but there is so much hate too. It's beautiful. They hate us for FBI investigation. They hate us for things Pitino did that ESPN slandered on to...

Lampkin is 6'11 and 268 lbs. Evan Battey is 6'9 and 259 lbs. Both gave us trouble. Carlton is 6'11 and 245. That's the same as Tubelis. https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/extra-chances-per-game This stat keeps me up at night. Cool, I found the match up stats page. https://www.teamrank...

These guys don't really know they're Arizona the giant #1 seed perennial favorite. They weren't allowed to dance last year, they were picked 29th in the preseason poll, expected to be 4th in the pac, not expected to make the tourney and they balled out and got a #1 seed. They're Cinderella's in thei...

By the by, can you believe we kept Kerr and Terry!! That's awesome. Good job ACL.

If there had never been an ESPN article claiming Ayton was paid I probably would have been more willing to support firing Miller earlier. If there had been no false allegations against Miller and it was only the Book/Agent funneling scandal, and the AD said, "taking money to recommend an agent to st...

That is a good cause. People don't realize that not everyone that goes to the UA is a rich frat kid from Socal or Naperville driving a Mercedes. Plenty of students dealing with hunger. I used to eat oranges from the trees there, chew on rosemary from the landscaping to stave off hunger and take hon...

I guess this is a case where JT can't just trash Robbins, but could decline and then "leak" to sources, like RJ that it's because he loves the UA and therefore hates Robbins. One of those "some people say that JT loves the UA so much he hates Robbins for destroying it and won't work for him" type of...

I thought they were offering Byrne. Did he turn it down or did those idiots not offer him?

I don't know how or why the internet has decided Tyty wants bags, but it has. Illinois fans were like "frankly, I'm glad we're out", UCLA fans have said they want out. Kentucky fans are like, this is what we do. And Kansas fans have been the funniest, making jokes about this is why we extended Self,...

Kind of the norm to not take kids you recruited to the other school generally. This is not the norm, in fact from what I have seen it is the exact opposite. I think with HC is different then with AC. If, say, Miller wasn't figured but left us to go to UNC, for example, I'd expect recruits to follow...

I think about DWill a lot. I think if he had stayed 4 years - like if he had been born 20 years earlier and came up in the 80s - he'd have had a much longer career. On the other hand, he went #2 and got guaranteed money, and if he had stayed four years when he did play he'd probably have dropped to ...

Let’s be honest about the Tucson media... if you can’t handle the Tucson media, you wouldn’t be able to handle the media anywhere They aren’t exactly hard hitting I don't know man.

I wasn't sure Damon was ready, but I really wish I could jump to the alternative timeline where we hire him and see the presser and the fans, players and media reaction. I bet there would be some great energy and excitement there. Of course there around also be negatives takes of people who assume i...

Welcome back Matt Brase.

I didn't think I could hate Robbins and Heeke anymore than I already do. I was wrong.

Seeing them in person made my skin crawl. They're worse in person than I imagined.

Who hired them? Goodness.

... to new uniforms. My biggest fear in all this has been that Nike would drop us. I don't know who is in charge of that. Dana Cooper? Irregardless, here's hoping we stay a Nike school for a long time. "Arizona Wildcats Sports Properties" is that an separate business? If so, that's the path forward...

I'm just watching the presser now. Dude said he'll serve as your "disaster of ceremonies."

He was likely joking like that all week and then said it during the speech.

Even if it's not over racism, why is it when they already got their guy in mind that's usually a white guy? Maybe it's not racism in this instance, but add up all of these and you get a statistics that looks a lot like institutional racism. Robbins hired Sumlin, no? Or was Sumlin not Robbins "guy"?...

azpatnca

There is an intersection in what happened and what it looks like what happened. And maybe that's not just a coincidence. What I think happened: Robbins wanted Lloyd all along, waited for him to be done with the tourney, fired Miller, hired Lloyd. Then realized it's a State position and he has to int...

I posted this in the Heeke thread, but it's probably more fitting here. Read about the job the chancellor of nebraska did and tell me if you see a similarity with Robbins.

It still amazes me the lack of understanding about the “scandal” and how we are painted as alone in the situation. Now that we have a “nice” coach, it will be interesting to see how the narrative evolves. I'm clearly jaded, but when I hear Lloyd described as "the best recruiter in college basketbal...

Does JT have a chance of remaining on the staff? I really, really hope he does. Apparently there was but now he is super pissed how Robbins handled the past week and wants to go elsewhere. He was the key to keeping a few current players and recruits. Robbins pissed all of them off this past week. T...

Either way, we haven't been good at football since. The day after Nebraska coach Solich won a victory over Colorado in Boulder, he was fired by Steve Pederson. This was the first time in the history of college football that a program had fired a 9–3 coach. (I was exaggerating when I said 11-1 earlie...

Bill Walton says that offense wins championships. Given that I've heard good things about ACL's offense I'm optimistic. If there is anything limiting CSM's success on the court it was late game management, playing against a zone, and overall offensive philosophy.

azpatnca

So is it likely Few told Lloyd he's going to coach Gonzaga 10 more years so he figured he better strike while the iron is hot? Let's hope Few also said something like "No pressure, Tommy, but if you suck at Arizona, you aren't getting my job when I retire." A little extra pressure won't hurt. If Ll...

Tomey quit after the ASSU game. All of the other coaches had been hoovered up by other programs who had been working on hiring coaches for a while. We ended up with Mack because of that late start. You're right. I thought he was fired. He said he "had no other choice". https://tucson.com/coach-step...

azpatnca

I don't know why, but this thread reminded me of when we fired Tomey. Remember when we fired Tomey because he wasn't good enough. I remember Nebraska going 11-1 or something like that and firing their coach. Then they sucked for years and years after. I can't say the UA football team has reached Tom...

Cutting off your nose to spite your face is imposing a post season ban when you realize Miller has somehow put together a pretty damn good team. And then firing him at the worst time, and then leaving the players in the dark so they have to go on the internet to learn what's up with the program. I w...

Well this to me is a very big chapter in UA history. One time is a fluke. Hey, you were just lucky to have Lute. Arizona isn't a basketball powerhouse without him. He should have been at UCLA or Kentucky or Kansas, but for whatever reason the crazy old man stayed there and put you on the map. Enjoy ...

This place definitely reminds me of a neighborhood pub. we don't all have to agree or even like eachother, but we can drink and talk our shit. I never lived in London or Dublin, but I imagine it's something like this. The old "public house" style pubs, anyway.

azpatnca

So on the one hand Lloyd and Few built Gonzaga together. On the other hand, this is basically hiring Gonzaga's Rosborough. We could have hired Arizona's Rosborough and we didn't. So, here's hoping this guy is able to handle the helm.

azpatnca

What are we going to call him? CTL doesn't sound near as good as CSM. ACL. Assistant Coach Lloyd. If he goes on to do great things, he can credit Agent Zero with the motivation. Readers will remember Hibachi took the 00 jersey because people said that's how many minutes he'd get in the NBA. Then li...

If any of you have access to this man, you gotta tell him to get the saguaro logo back on the court. One of the posters here has a good render with a Lute and Bobbi Olson tagline on it.

We haven't been to a final four since removing that cactus logo.

If you guys want to do a "Thank You Sean Miller" billboard in Tucson I'd put money towards it. The Alumni Association might be the better group to lead this, but I'm not in touch with them.

It's funny how many people would have thought Gronk4Heisman was a joke back when he was in college, and now if you said Gronk won the heisman they'd probably nod and say, "yeah, that makes sense, I don't remember that happening, but I can see it."
