Good luck to Nnaji, Mannion, and Green in the NBA

Jeter and Green might give the Pros overseas a try and stick somewhere

Imagine how piss we'd be if this team was 27-5 and peaking right now

rgdeuce

Cant expect these guys to close games out this late in the season, playing to win, rather than DWWD all season. Hopefully we get a few more runs before the NCAAs.

I know it's a bit easier when you are newer to the game/more raw, but he's the only guy on the team that has significantly improved this season.

Pass on a transition bucket/foul to pull it out and do what we do. Then we dont do what we do when we get the offensive board.

Was there as well. Got teary eyed for Gabe and Zeus.

Is there any evidence of internal dissension among the players?

Any insight or observations, confirming or dis-confirming, would be greatly appreciated....

Do you really need an insider for that answer?

We are saying this every year pretty much. Some quit and move on to other programs, the rest stay and reveal it through their play.

Not really sold on our conference doing well come March.

Nico cant consistently lead a team of college guys with two other very talented prospects.

Do you realize they were playing the number 14 team in the country? Arizona has two losses that are absolutely terrible. St John's and Arizona State's comeback (although they are leading the PAC). The UCLA victory was the worst shooting in McKale ever but who knows may that was UCLA's defense . I ...

Take Nico, he’s not ready for the league, but we all know he’s gonna bail. The team always looks so tight in the games/moments where it matters the most.

Outcomes are a reflection of leadership and the system in place. I think is a fair subjective question to ask if the players are having fun ...

These two teams are very evenly matched.

The biggest coaching adjustment are apparent in how teams come out of halftime...

Missed FTs, Miller overmanaging and DWWD. Took a lot for us to blow that one. Koloko's man got two baskets to end the game; Zeke had a great block sandwiched between those plays. Then you have the wrong guy on the floor on the offensive end and no timeouts to get Zeke in. And another Miller team ...

rgdeuce

Nico doesn't take many easy shots, so his shooting numbers and "slump" (confidence related?) do not come as a surprise. Feels like 90% of his field goal attempts are 26-foot jumpshots and running floaters.

You should be an NBA scout

rgdeuce

That’s a pretty shitty trend.

Facts suck

Well here is a fact for you......Coach K did not make it past the round of 32 in his first 10 years as a head coach......I guess Sean is doing better then that....is that what you are saying???..... :o :lol: those are facts.

Thought-

Adia Barnes and what she is doing= fun!

Anything related to coach Miller= not fun.

Not even close to being in the same realm in terms of pressure and expectations. Adia is playing with house money in one of the country's greatest CBB venues.

At this point, objective analysts have to admit that Staf was better as a freshman than Nico has been (thru USC)...

FG% - S = 51.9; N = 40.2
3P% - S = 39.6 N = 33.9
FT% - S = 80.3; N = 81.3
REB - S = 3.3; N = 2.7
AST - S = 4.5; N = 5.5
PPG - S = 9.4; N = 14.0

Na. The 3 point line has been ...

Both. Have fun in London and safe travels.

What’s the rumor someone dropped in the i game thread last night about nico going Italy after the season?

I meant he could end up there if it doesn't work in the NBA. He's probably a career backup at best. He has good vision but not elite quickness or explosiveness, and his jumper is clunky and ...

You think you can compare a senior laden team to one that starts three freshman. Give 3 freshman to Baylor and they will live up to Drew's conference winning percentage 46%. In 16 years you can't win the conference once...not once. He does have an NIT championship so you got that to look forward ...

You cant lose that game.

I feel bad for his boys tbh. They stick up for him & take a beating/look almost silly for it. A buddy is a friend of one his kids & he says they're solid people - which makes sense. But man, Utah homer-ism is an odd hill to stake your flag on. Bizarro world.

Zeke needs to go to the draft no matter what position he gets ANY big who stays at AZ gets worse each year, its the Zeus affect and ever since we lost Joseph Blair-helping our bigs, our bigs are now crap...

Come on dude. D Will, Zeus, Dusan, and BAsh were all much better when they left ...

Five straight sweet 16s for Gonzaga, a trip to the elite 8 and another trip to the national title game. 30 win seasons in four of the last five years (and we can only say so much about their schedule, they play better OOC and our conference hasnt been super strong). End of season top 10 ranking four ...

I fully get the PJC thing. Thats why I said top 5 adjO instead of #1 or 2

I like the latter especially since defense travels.
Unfortunately it flew south one winter and never came back. We haven’t been good defensively in awhile. That’s where I’d like to see improvement next year. Let’s hope one of the newcomers has Rondae-like skills on the defensive end.
Agreed. We ...

One of several reasons things went south, but I would agree that his departure had a bigger impact than most think.

Compete for a conference title and win a couple tournament games. He needs to get to the final 4 soon, but I'm not elite eight (or better) or bust with Miller at this point. Winning a couple of tournament games isnt really much to ask. I just want to see the trends of late shift the other way.

And still feels like behind all this is a fact that Coach was a cooperating FBI witness. I’m sure you guys aren’t buying my intuition.

May or may not be it, but there's definitely another layer to all this. Our situation is not playing out like the rest of the big or bigger programs, you got the ...
