Losing a kid to a school that wasn't even in his top 7.

LOL

THAT Arizona basketball is dead. It died years ago.

Mustafa was arguably better as a freshman. Could probably also make a case for Momo. Wise’s junior and senior years were better than what Nico just put up. Two things: Nico is immature. He doesn’t yet possess the instincts needed to be a high level PG. He shoots when he should pass, and many of his...

Remember when we all dreaded the end of the season, when we knew we wouldn't be able to watch Arizona basketball for 7-8 months?

How bad things have gotten, the last few seasons most of us (players included) are looking forward to the season being over well before it actually is. A sign of things.

I am undecided on the OAD's. Having three of them is definitely not the norm for us. The thing I worry about the most is the negative culture it can bring into your program. I am starting to sour quickly on the grad transfers. Most of these young men are everything you want in your program, but the...

Ditto.

Only #1 seed to stay away from is Kansas. Although I really don't think it matters at this point. This team is what they are...and it isn't very good.

BTW, this website is such a breath of fresh air from another site that I post on and subscribe to.

A lot of people over there are content with the shit we have continued to see from Miller and this program. They have taken on the loser blood mentality that Miller has developed this program into.

Statfreak77

Probably a silly question, but is there any — and I mean ANY — chance that one of our freshmen comes back? If not, then yeah, it’s just a vicious cycle we’re in that never produces the desired outcome. No way - these freshman (Nico & Green especially) want to get the hell out of Tucson. Like, fast.

Yep. Was also supposed to be the case with Williams & Quinerly too, but we all know how that cluster fuck worked out.

Statfreak77

Jake would subtweet about players, Miller, etc. all the time - it was Tre Mason like, to be honest.

In the instances where Miller would bench or not play Hazzard for extended periods of time, Jake would definitely let his disgust be known via Twitter.

Statfreak77

Not sure we can bank on ASU losing to Wazzu.

Wazzu sucks balls.

If you would read the posts by his brother, Jake, you would know that Max and his family were never happy with his role with Arizona under Miller.

Sounds like he will be back (in uniform) for the Pac-12 tournament...?

Smith being labeled a "scapegoat" is hilarious.

The majority of this has been with Smith on the bench, right?

Oh yeah! He’s 3-12 FG’s....

Dude has missed a number of buckets at the rim that a better player easily makes.

Plus, his penetration against Smith has allowed for some easy looks for WSU. More goes into it than just his FG percentage.

I'm not kidding when I say this teams looks more and more like they just want the season to be over with. Its almost depressing to watch the lack of interest and lackadaisical play. If it wasn't for Zeke Nnaji this team might have 15 losses already and completely out of March Madness today. I think...

That CJ Holmes thing just tweeted that the Arizona players walked out of the locker room back onto the floor.

Didn't run. Or jog. Walked.

This season is over.

Statfreak77

Outscored 31-20 after the 9-0 start.

Scored 20 points the remaining 16ish minutes of the half.

This team sucks.

Kid needs to learn a jump stop...or euro step.

Pretty obvious teams are playing him to jump and shoot/pass. Make an adjustment, young fella.

Smith has been terrible offensively but it really is amazing how people bring him up after every loss. I mean did anyone play well against UCLA? I would say no, so why are we singling out a role player? If we need freaking Dylan Smith to play well to beat a shitty UCLA team at home then we have mor...

Thoroughly looking forward to Arizona losing to Northern Iowa or Utah State in the tournament this season!

Statfreak77

It won’t happen because smarter guys are leading our department (at least this year). So we will go to the tourney 3 of the 4 years (and the one year should be thrown out). One sweet 16 and a first round loss and we will see what happens this year. Go ahead blow it up. Miller might be harder to rep...

With our metrics it will be interesting to see if we make the list. I'm guessing we land at #15.

Metric wise, Arizona should be in the top 16.

Overall resume, I just don't think they meet that criteria.

Couldn’t watch last night, but I’m thrilled they pulled it out. Finally got a road win with good potential for a road sweep tomorrow.

I feel like every time I see the team slow down as they cross midcourt and then have the center come above 3 point line to set a meaningless screen, I see that he hasn’t lossened the reins. Might as well be Gene Hackman's four pass rule. Hell I expect the picket fence play every time they set up. U...

Yay, bring in another GT who won't understand the pack line, won't rebound, or provide anything else of substance.

Who the fuck is giving moral victories? I am giving facts. And the fact is, that U of A is still really good.

Great question. Oats and his players have been very forthcoming in their thoughts on their abilities and what they plan to do to Arizona.

Anyone got anything on this Massinburg kid? Is he quick, to where Rawle will struggle to keep him in front?

Statfreak77

Oats guaranteed that his guys will play harder than Arizona already.

And that his guys will put ball pressure on Arizona which they have never seen.
