Bear Down Wildcats

The travel call was obvious. I yelled, "travel" right when it happened. Davis shuffled his feet and then took three steps without a dribble. Watching it at regular speed it's obvious. And I'm not sure the foul by Ayton with 2 seconds left was legit either. When the actual foul happened, A&M's Wilso...

SunnyAZ

Keeping my fingers crossed but some of this is just weird. If you are dunking and putting that kind of pressure on your foot you should be good to go. If it a timing thing I would think they wouldn't have him elavating it is a combination of conditioning and knowing you can go hard for an extended ...

gcu fans are great

The amount of fluctuation my thoughts about Randolph and Akot have gone through this year has been impressive. Hopefully Akot rights the ship, still think he is going to be important.

Ayton is guarding dudes who dude nothing on offense and we have Susan on their best scorer. Great.

SunnyAZ

Randolph has been good defensively.

SunnyAZ

Why didn't we get two more FTS for the shooting foul on Randolph?

SunnyAZ

I think our defense looks better because none of their PFs/Cs can shoot.

SunnyAZ

I don't think Barcello is better than PJC at anything on the offensive side of the ball.

SunnyAZ

So did coach finally hold Trier accountable for his defense or was he in foul trouble.

SunnyAZ

Well this is going way better than expected.

We need to shore up base fundamentals of man/packline. The argument about zone sort of disregards that. When you say 6 months should be enough, well, the reality is that it is not that easy or linear. Even our freshmen have been coached in base man rotation for years and we execute that poorly. Tri...

SunnyAZ

This is just my opinion, but I disagree, especially for this year's team. We struggle with the fundamentals and need as much teaching and practice on the base concepts. Progressing in those areas is huge for long term success. Zone is something you have to know how to execute. Teaching it takes awa...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9FXNrr9QIM A breakdown of the Pistons' PnR defense, the same as we run. Somewhat similar, but our coverage differs in a few major ways. I posted it before watching all of it. But yeah, in the NBA you have to be way more diverse schematically because players (and per...

'Bama just loss to UCF.

SunnyAZ

that turned into a fun game

SunnyAZ

Debating if I should watch the 2nd half or just keep watching the UFC fights.

SunnyAZ

Akot is definitely our 2nd best perimeter player until Rawle gets back and he never plays.

SunnyAZ

We don't have any players that know how to play and also play hard.

SunnyAZ

Ayton is a god. The rest of our team are the homeless people littering his creation.

Maybe Trier is a teacher or something.

SunnyAZ

Susan (autocorrect for Dusan, but it works better) playing his patented ole defense.

SunnyAZ

crazy that Dusan is still starting

Indiana and Michigan on now.

Then I can just cast it to my TV.

yeah seems like it should be on the cbssports website/app
hopefully

signed up for the directv now free trial anyways

SunnyAZ

Seems to me we're having a hard time figuring out how to exactly use Ayton. He's a crazy good physical talent, no question. Probably the most freak of an athlete ever to play at UA, combining size with athleticism and shooting ability. It's just that in current modern basketball, pro and college, n...

you can very easily do both

well we have 33 more points than them, I'm guessing we are getting less opportunities.

This is a stupid and useless argument.

agree but the point was that being versatile in your playstyle/schemes helps you win games isn't stupid or pointless

SunnyAZ

So we are starting from the time Miller took over eh? Completely ignoring Arizona was left on life support when he took over, as well as ignoring the fact that Coach K already had momentum from the 80s, 90s and 2000s when Miller took over at Arizona? And we have had way better individual defenders ...

SunnyAZ

It will drive me batty, but I agree with LH in giving Trier the point. That's what I took away from the article as well. It pretty much calls out PJC without directly stating that he shouldn't play. I think our best lineup to close games will be Akot, Trier, Rawle, Pinder/Lee/Randolph, Ayton. Let's...

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...

Relative to his peers he recruited quite effectively. But you are right... recruiting to a mid major and to a school in a Power 5 conference is exactly the same. Miller recruits better than Lute did. You are right... recruiting at Arizona is the same as Stanford, LSU, ASU, Auburn, etc. etc. Miller ...

SunnyAZ

I would be fine keeping him or firing him. There is definitely better coaches out there and I don't think it is too hard to recruit here. I disagree, Sunny. Better coaches out there? I'm quite sure that if you look at overall coaching success over the last 5 years (it has to include benchmarks beyo...

SunnyAZ

Alabama was down double digits and had their whole bench kicked out the game, one more player foul out, on more get injured. They had to play 3 on 5 and they brought the game back to a 3 point deficit. Lost by 5 but still pretty cool. Sexton dropped 40.

There may be SOME better coaches out there.. they don’t grow on trees and they are not lining up for this job. Lute & Miller both demonstrate...

SunnyAZ

bright side is we were unprepared and unfortunately had to play three games without time to get prepared

and hopefully this breaks Miller into being less stubborn, doubtful tho imo

I hope we hire Gregg Marshall. Or Jay Wright.

Why try and win games when you can teach lessons or whatever he is trying to do. He is a stubborn POS.

SunnyAZ

Miller needs to get elite NBA defenders otherwise he is gonna be out of a job soon.

Keep scrolling, it was the very last game on watchespn. Or just search Arizona in the search bar.

Every team knows how dumb we are for hard hedging and shred it. And we keep doing it, so dumb.

SunnyAZ

Dusan should be taken out of the rotation.
