Bear Down Wildcats

Unlike most Arizona fans, I hope Sean Miller and the conference have a good relationship and into the future. That's one of things that can drive him away to another job. Also could be something that keeps him. I'm sure sticking it to Larry Scott has some level of motivation for him and makes rece...

I don't want to be them...I live life with passion and what I love, I love fully. For me there is no other way to live. Exactly. I feel bad for the casual fan, it must sick to watch a game and, in all likelihood, not really know what's going on. I don't know. That is sort of how I am with Arizona f...

My 4 year old son asked: "Daddy, why do you yell at the TV when the wildcats play?" Me: "It helps them win." Him: "Oh ok...I'm gonna yell at the TV" (proceeds to yell aaaahhhahhahaaaarrrrgghhh) During the Washington game in Seattle, my then butt naked 22-month-old kept running up to the TV and yell...

Im sorry, but a 19-9 (.678%) tournament record speaks for itself. For comparison sake, Coach K (76.9), Calipari (75), Pitino (74.6), Williams (74.5), Izzo (71.9), Larry Brown (73.1), Self (70.2). All seven are hall of famers (or will be). Most of those guys have been able to pad those winning percen...

OMG! Great story BD89! I remember that game and Kenny trying to draw the foul from that UNLV guy at the 3 point line....was with 2 of my best buddies in Tucson literally yelling then acting dumbfounded at the loss.....Still hate Tarkanian and the UNLV thugs to this day....ughhhh. Love me some Kenny...

In 1989, I had plane and game tickets to go to the Elite Eight game in Denver against what was supposed to be Indiana and Bobby Knight (ended up being Seton Hall). Then Kenny Loftin tried to take a charge against UNLV. Anderson Hunt steps back and drains a three. I was so depressed I blew off the t...

I have decided I just can't watch these E8 games anymore. Would rather get my wisdom teeth extracted. Sucks but losing the past several just makes it too gut wrenching As painful as it can be, there arent many highs in life that beat the build up of an elite 8 game and the actual game itself. Its l...

I cant remember if it was after the 14 or 15 loss, but the very next morning at the gym there was an asshole parading around in a wisconsin hat and t shirt. The fact that he was probably in his early 60s was the only reason I didn't say something.... or deck him.

rgdeuce

God, if we are going back that far. The ones I remember: 1998 Utah EE: Shock and depression. Denial. It was so bad I dont even think I got mad. 2001 Duke Championship: College teammate/roommate (think he is a lurker here) was back in Tucson so I watched it alone in our dorm room. He came back to fin...

That's from the Pac-12 tournament championship game. Can't remember which of the ridiculous late whistles it was. I'm pretty intense and yell and curse a ton during big games, and a couple of times per season I get so mad I slap the crap out of the couch cushion or do the exorcist in my seat. Every...

2005 E8: Broke my right hand slamming it into the table. Very stupid on my part. :o holy shit 2011 vs Texas, I ripped off my shirt and ran around my (and fiance, now wife's) apartment screaming. . My girlfriend (now wife) moved in with me maybe a week prior to that 2011 tournament. I remember conte...

Yeah Frank Jackson went to Lone Peak, where both of my younger sisters ended up graduating. One of the few regular high schools in the country that can compete with the big boys.

rgdeuce

It's no wonder that Altman and Miller get along so well and have such a high respect for each other

I know some people aren't a fan of his because of some of the questionable transfers he has welcomed in with open arms, but I'm a big fan of the guy when we aren't playing them.

rgdeuce

That's some great company there, Kevin Costner's son could really ball too.

rgdeuce

I dunno, maybe I'm just weird, but I was ready for new teammates and coaches by the time I finished high school.

rgdeuce

So someone from Ohio, the mecca of shit hole cities, is calling a city outside of Ohio a shit hole?

rgdeuce

I posted a few games back that Trier is our best option to inbound. He has decent size, he handles (mental) pressure well, but most importantly, he can handle the ball on a return pass. If that goes back to Lauri, you have a 7 footer getting swarmed by smaller guys. Rawle is probably better than All...

rgdeuce

LMAO. That award seems a little less prestigious this morning.

rgdeuce

Yep. Kentucky is just that too. If they get by them, they likely get UNC who I perceived to be well-balanced, but judging the ACC's success and their near-loss yesterday.... At this point, I think you pencil in Kansas, who is going to give UCLA hell no matter how good UCLA shoots. Three very tough g...

rgdeuce

I won't cry over Alford leaving, I cringe at the Earl Watson to ucla inevitability. I'm skeptical on this rumor because of timing UCLA deserves the headache of looking for a new coach after the hell the Bruin fanbase (looking at you Bruins Nation!) gave him on a number of fronts. Even if Alford is ...

rgdeuce

Both Gonzaga and WVU present the issue of bringing an elite defense and knowing you have to step up because they are still going to put points up. We have weapons, and I think when you have weapons it is much easier for them to step up and make big/tough shots against an extremely fundamentally soun...

rgdeuce

It was funny as hell. Between this board and texting a friend, we were talking about the inevitable Duke homer calls coming late. And they came, three straight. But then SC would go down to the other end and get a crap call to balance it out. You saw the faces on Coach K and the Duke players, each t...

rgdeuce

With the refs blatantly swinging the game on two huge and horrible calls very late in the game and Arkansas completely choking in the moment. This has happened before (though I never recall a conference shitting the bed this bad) and will happen again at some point. VS RPI top 50 or teams ranked at ...

Kobi just has to go in and do his job for the brief periods hes in. At this point, his PT has been so limited he is not on the same heartbeat with the core guys. Makes it really tough for him to even be places in situations to even get more than a few decent shots off I'm guessing Kobi's brain work...

rgdeuce

So who would you guys prefer presuming for a moment that we make it past Xavier? I think I'd rather play Gonzaga. The thought of Allen trying to break a WVU press scares me silly. I'd rather play WVU. We can forget about the past -- Miller is flexible with his starting lineup. He'd start PJC, who's...

rgdeuce

This is shaping up too perfectly. Makes me nervous. I'm not sure how to shake the fear. I get concerned when we get tough draws. I worry it is going to well when the draw is in our favor. Such is the lack of confidence borne out of Arizona's 16 year FF drought, I guess. Except that this year's Ariz...

rgdeuce

I'd prefer Gonzaga as well. 1) Familiarity. We have seen all of them but they haven't seen all of us (no Trier and PJC in first game). 2) That old saying, it is hard to beat a team twice in the same season. 3) No press. 4) Lack of being battle tested. They were on cruise control from mid-December on...

rgdeuce

Goes without saying. We certainly control our own path from here on out. We got the 1 seed we wanted, the best final four venue, and at best a 3 seed Between us and the title game. Cant ask for much more than that.

rgdeuce

This is shaping up too perfectly. Makes me nervous.

rgdeuce

Outstanding round of 32

rgdeuce

Pac 12 tied with Big 10 and Big 12 with three teams in sweet 16. Conference of champions only needed four teams to do it.

rgdeuce

Defense alone doesnt beat UCLA. Gotta be able to put up points

rgdeuce

Ball is ridiculous lmao

rgdeuce

Lmao. F Duke and F the ACC. They should be 0 for 9 getting to the sweet 16

rgdeuce

Use your effing timeouts

rgdeuce

Lmao. Yep

rgdeuce

That blocking foul is number one

rgdeuce

Have to think Alford doesnt have a job if UCLA goes home tonight

rgdeuce

Naw im thinking D Will, Lauri, Trier, Alkins, Kadeem. Think about it, at the 4 and 5 you have guys who can beat you inside, make half their threes, and put the ball on the floor. You can pick and roll and pick and pop w both. Five guys on the floor who can get to the rim/play at the rim or beat you ...

Surprised there hasnt been a Derrick Williams mention to be honest. He may be my non-pg pick

USC season in a nutshell. Close but no cigar.

No contact, clean release and follow through, AND he leaned heavy to try to draw something. Brutal

rgdeuce

U freakin serious w that foul call on that three?

rgdeuce

Hell yeah Oregon. cold blooded shot by Dorsey.

rgdeuce

Good grief. Should be attacking w Brooks and getting to the line

rgdeuce

How big are those two clanks Dorsey put up at the line a few possessions ago.

Here comes oregon. Gotta secure that board.

On cue. RI nails a three off a missed defensive board.
