This team and the PAC-12 just aren’t good this year. I had really hoped that taking a more optimistic view of the teams chances would help. No so far.

Hoping for the reverse jinx here.

Sadly no.. but there are a few scenes where she's getting busy.

Pundits going on and on about how unfair it is to Arizona that they got potential matchups with Kentucky and UVA after Buffalo. I think it’s the other way around. It sucks for Kentucky and UVA that they have to play Arizona. Ayton and team are going to destroy them on the way to the Final Four. Hist...

I am now watching the 1,232th repeat of a Star Trek Voyager episode (by far the worst of the franchise). WHAT!?! Voyager is by far the best in the franchise. Its the most badass ship of them all and they are constantly in battle. The finale were probably the two best episodes in the history of the ...

After watching this clip of Duke fans trolling ESPN by chanting "check your sources" during their broadcast of the Duke/UNC game, I'm starting to thaw on my hate for Duke and its fans.

Sign me up. I have decent handle, great movement away from the ball, and am one of the leading rebounders in my Lifetime Fitness league. Not to mention, I can dribble down the court and jack up ill-advised threes without even considering a pass or dribble penetration just as frequently as Trier does...

What an ill-willed, unfounded thing to write.... I believe Miller. I have to because the alternative is program destroying terrible. So Dan does make a couple good points. I also believed Lance Armstrong. He was so passionate in his defense. It was so believable. Same for Ryan Braun. It seemed so i...

I don't follow recruiting closely.. I just read that neither Shareef nor Brandon were McDAAs. Is that correct?

killervibe

I was hoping he had the character and fortitude to stand by his commitment and Coach Miller. I guess not.

killervibe

As long as Miller credibly proclaims his innocence, I think the program should support him. No matter the end result. I'd really hate for them to fire him (or ask him to resign) only to find out too late that he was innocent. He could have left for another job but stayed loyal, the program should do...

On the bright side, he doesn’t have any National Championships to forfeit. So there’s that.

If this is true, Sean Miller’s career at Arizona is over.

They're passionate, play hard from whistle to whistle, and know how to finish an opponent on the ropes. They have great movement away from the ball, do an excellent job of dribble penetration to collapse zones, never take ill advised threes, know how to win big games, and most importantly always def...

It's simple. I have a high tolerance for hypocritical bullshit. But the original post stickied to the top of every forum by the queen of personal attacks exceeded that tolerance so I was compelled to respond.

I’m a strong believer in the presumption of innocence. I’d love to believe that Book is innocent and believe that he should be presumed to be so until found guilty in a court of law. Unfortunately for him, the program, and the fans, it does appear they may have a solid case against him. I hope there...

I hope the irony of this thread and the original post are not lost on its authors. Of course, I will assume time has resulted in greater maturity than what I recall of them.

Miller is the third highest paid coach in the NCAA.. which bodes well for keeping him. Frankly, the school should open the vault doors and pay him at least 50% more if that's what it took to keep him. https://www.aol.com/article/finance/2017/03/23/sweet-sixteen-ncaa-coach-salary-tournament-highest-p...

UCLA, Oregon are within 2 weeks too. St. Mary's wasn't a top 20 Kenpom team for nothing, either. Yes, I already gave props to Sean for winning those games. He's still under .500 even with those wins but they were very sweet and I was grateful he was able to make it happen. My point has always been ...

killervibe

Isn't that what he's been doing the last two weeks? Do you consider North Dakota State and St Mary's to be good teams? I don't. SS is correct to an extent, had we lost I would have chalked it up to Sean's inability to win important games, however, because the teams were terrible, I expected we woul...

Probably no surprise to anyone here.. but I refuse to get my hopes up. On paper, we have the best match-up of the weekend. The only double digit seed left in the tourney.

If a 16 game parlay was possible in Vegas (its not, 12 games is the max), the payout on a $5 bet would be close to $20K, I believe.

No doubt, two great wins in big games against good teams. I hope it continues and Sean is able to prove me wrong. Until then, his record in similar games is still sub .500.

The last two games have been especially sweet.

This is why I don't believe the 2012 and 2016 teams are very useful in this discussion. It's not that Miller isn't responsible for the losses, it's just that those losses are not very relevant for what we are trying to ascertain. I understand your point. It looks like we just disagree on this one. ...

Are you suggesting the cupboards were not bare when he arrived here? Edit: I had my years confused. Yes, things were a bit barren when he took over but his first class was pretty darn good. In fact, because I had my years confused, that 2011/2012 season was his third. So yeah, those wins/losses sho...

PRH - I did miss your post, thanks for pointing it out. I'm on the fence about it.

67 of 68 teams lose their biggest game of the year, every year. True. But you may miss my point. I'm not suggesting that Miller should win 100% of his big games, including winning the National Championship each year. I'm pointing out that the data indicates he has a sub .500 record in all big games...

If you consider that we didn't have good teams last year or in 2011-12, the numbers paint a much different picture.

In essence, if Arizona busts down the door this year and gets to a Final 4, and then loses that game....there will still be complaints that Miller can't win the biggest game of the season.
