Then Miller stopped the clock for Kadeem Allen in Las Vegas against UCLA. Since that moment, I've wanted Miller to stay Arizona's coach forever, and I've sent him my piano, one of my legs, and my wife. Miller would have to pork my wife without my consent (which I would forgive, if he gave me locker...

I don't think I could do it anymore. Love Miller but it has been highly infuriating since the end of the 2015 team. Miller doesn't recruit for HIS system. Instead, he makes one and done types talent learn this convoluted system that's hard to grasp. It is for teams with less talent (mid majors and ...

This is a spinoff of a lot of the posts I see. There seem to be a ton of suggestions about the lineup, tweaks, sitting Dusan more, Trier at PG, etc. Is the solution to building right now more about personnel tweaks or the development of the guys we have. My personal opinion, developing players and ...

Yea I don't really think I believe in "Miller speak"...he is ALWAYS respectful of whomever we play and he is ALWAYS honest about his assessment of where he thinks the team is, and frankly he seems to always be right. Millerspeak is a real and well-studied phenomenon. He waited until Arizona crushed...

I like how we crown Syracuse for 3 FF's in 15 years when they've missed the tourney 4 times in that same period. People are shitting bricks about Miller having a 1 seed, 2 2 seeds and a 5 seed in the last 4 years. If Miller missed the NCAA's once every four years when the program's been all his for...

You lose three in a row, the coach has you. For a while. It wont stop til he gets his way now. Thats one reason why three losses in November isnt always the end of the world.

Was nice to see these guys show a marked improvement in defense, focus and effort tonight. Still had their moments, but you can tell Miller got back to the basics in the preceding practices and the team listened. The rebounding basics are still not there outside of Ayton, though Ristic's improved ef...

He (Miller) recruits better on a star rankings per scout 247 rivals and espn But in terms of NBA draft picks and success that means anything to anyone, he does not. Great, Miller can recruit better than Lute but gets less out of his guys than Lute did. Not a good endorsement. Just get to the final ...

There was a point last season when many thought Comanche should have been starting and/or getting more minutes than Ristic. Not from me. I was not a Comanche fan at all. Would you partially agree that the offense last year was more fluid with Chance on the floor (rather than Dusan) and without Rist...

Florida was running Duke out the gym then Coach K went to a zone to ruin their rhythm and it worked! Then they went back to man and now are winning before the 2nd half even started! How are they ever gonna get back those 5 minutes of zone defense to get better at man defense? Duke's Kenpom adjusted...

Really who has UK had a problem with? Cal kept 8 draft picks on a roster and happy. Sean has undrafted guys leaving and guys transferring the second they don’t get a start. And your views in talent seem to be just as correlated with rankings as Sean’s. Maybe you should watch the guys on the floor. ...

I am so tired of the fickle fans. Win or lose, I will always support the team. The start of this season kind of reminds me of the 2000-2001 season, where the Cats lost 4 non-conference games. That team didn't do so bad. Young players and waiting for Rawlie to come back, the Cats will be much better...

Some of the stuff in here is wild.

On the bright side, Randolph finally had a strong night. Build off that, get Alkins back, maybe Trier comes back down to earth, and we can figure out our offense. Defense and rebounding is another story. Thank God we have a home game against a pushover and several practices before we hit the UNLV, A...

Do you all see what the difference is between Bahamas and games prior? Is it just quality of opposition or do you see a change in the team? Also, I wonder how the concussion and week off because of it is affecting Randolph Little of both I think. They are playing other men in these games, less wigg...

It'll be good enough to win a bunch of games this year and reach the elite 8. All told, we are underachieving at present, next year's class has gone to shit, the future is a huge question mark, and we're known as the team who chokes in March. You can ride or die with Miller, but I'm willing to move...

Guy wants Ayton, Pinder and Ristic together.....

rgdeuce

He is blending/just there far too much when Trier goes Trier. Either he is chumping up and not being assertive to re-take the reins, or he's being told.

rgdeuce

It's about that time we just run the offense through Ayton. You get benched if you take a non wide open shot without him touching the ball on a possession and that includes Zo. You're never getting a player like him again so act like it and ride him Yep. It's been like a see-saw w these two with th...

rgdeuce

Two embarassing losses after we were all on cloud 9. Only logical explanation is Ayton is the only guy not treating this tournament like a vacation. These dudes are all playing like the were knee deep in some locals until 5am. Very little to like on defense, from anyone. Team (sans Ayton) cant rebou...

rgdeuce

Why Pinder over Akot? Motor. Other than seeing his limited minutes last night and hearing the rumors about it being his effort in practice, I thought Akot has been good in this regard. Also a better defender, shooter and most importantly passer. That said, I see the Pinder argument and I wouldnt ki...

rgdeuce

This has probably been discussed ad nauseum in other threads, but we could help ourselves by adding a zone defense. Maybe that’s how you get Ristic and Ayton on the floor together. Couple things: harder to rebound in a zone defense and this team hasnt proven they can do that at the expected level y...

Lot of things to bitch about this game but yeah, this team was getting murdered with very vanilla stuff. Teams would be wise to make Miller pay the price for keeping Ristic out there.

Tonights game was like watching the team from two years ago early in the year, without having a Kadeem at least

rgdeuce

The defense was horrible. The new guys (sans Ayton) got their first taste of legit D1 competition. That game was maddening. We will see what this team is made of tomorrow.

ESPN now loses 15,000 subscribers EVERY SINGLE DAY, 13 million over 6 years. With so many people cutting the cord, DirecTV will most certainly not give the PAC the money they want, similar to the Big-10 and SEC deals, since the PAC does not have the interest those other conferences have.

Team defensive rebounding has really been my only major gripe with this team so far. That's seemingly something we have struggled with early in very recent years. I would add defense.
