Congrats CTL nice win over Ducks….now go slay the dragon!

You got this CTL

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Zags gave Houston 1 hell of a game. Mark Few is certainly appreciated and respected but somehow I feel he is still underrated

Yeah it was a battle….i’m sure CTL helped in scout. Few is low profile and shy one of the reasons he never left Spokane.

Players ...

Zags are explosive on offense with depth and experience but what stands out with this years team is defense.

Big beatdown last night of No 8 Baylor 101-63.

ZagCatFan

Tommy's not leaving for Kentucky, right?

Got mixed messages on that yesterday which is to say that I am clueless on that right now.

I would be astonished by this. With all due respect to Coach Lloyd, he hasn't exactly built the kind of resume (yet) that Kentucky has come to expect in its ...

Cats got this….keep the runs to minimum and dominate!

BTFD!

Purdue is 7-0 against Sweet 16 teams.

I was pulling for Kansas against Samford….better match for Zags imo.

SWEET 16

I was a CSU employee (LBSU is a CSU school) for many years. Monson will most certainly get a retirement and health insurance for life.

Like in AZ, in CA coaching staff at state universities are state employees.

15 years service, and over 50 years old and you are 100% vested.

So that would ...

ZagCatFan

CTL will never leave Arizona unless he’s fired ….IMHO.

ZagCatFan

I don't know about Gonzaga joining the big 12.
I have been a Zag supporter since 1999 but this run they have had with mark Few has been special but only has a few years left on it, and I think that Tommy was the special sauce that made the sandwich great.
I fear they will decline and that they ...

Congrats Cats. Excellent balance.

Congrats Tommy and Wildcat Nation HUGE WIN!

Few is also one of the coaches.

Zags are courtesy call to take pressure off Lloyd for poaching rumors imo.

From Seth Davis The Athletic

Why did this happen?

Arizona had a really good season, despite how it ended. But it did end badly, and while no single person is at fault, it strikes me that an amicable divorce between Arizona and Kriisa might be in everyone’s best interest. Kriisa is a strong leader ...

. Arizona couldn’t overcome limitations against Princeton

Arizona was a team with real limitations entering a single-elimination NCAA Tournament. The Azuolas Tubelis-Oumar Ballo frontcourt was always ripe for a team that runs a five-out offensive scheme to be able to space out the Wildcats and ...

With all the tv timeouts….best players play most minutes

So glad we’re not in same region. Congrats on #2 seed.

I’m OK with Zags in west with UCLA & Kansas. Cat coaching staff is loaded with former Zag players and coaches will help if we meet Bruins in scouting.

I’m sure Zag staff will provide scout on Baylor and Alabama as needed.

Go Cats FINAL FOUR

Nice to hear Few tell Miller Good to have you back!

They always seemed to get along in all their battles. I always respected Miller for playing home and home with Zags.

Good Luck Coach Miller!

NIL has changed the game especially among the 5 star athletes imo. Zags believed right up to the end Anthony Black was in the bag for Bulldogs and bam Arkansas. scouting services had him going to GU. The guess was NIL money was too big to turn down.
Every time I’ve heard a player was coming to GU it ...

ZagCatFan

I do recall these alums saying

Former Wildcat star Richard Jefferson called the search a debacle, while Gilbert Arenas said Lloyd was unqualified.

I’m guessing a lot more were quietly agreeing as an assistant from West Coast Conference was given the keys to P5 program.

I don’t blame them a ...

Ballo has a chance with those long arms…anyone know what his reach is?

ZagCatFan

If Few retired in three years, and Gonzaga offered to make Tommy the highest paid coach in the sport, anyone think he's turning that down?

Arizona is Arizona, and that's well understood. But we're talking about the guy's dream job.

First of all Gonzaga does not have that kind of money to ...

Apropos your last remark, my sense of Tommy is that he's self-contained and humble such that the only temptation to leave would be a return to Spokane. But he's also his own man and wants to make his own dent in the universe. I think we have him for the duration.

Maybe….not saying AZ fans ...

Congrats Tommy Lloyd!

Great first year can’t wait for next!

ZagCatFan

Then I guess we hired the wrong guy.

I wouldn't go that far. UNC showed a few times it's certainly not impossible to play fast and win a natty.

True….but if you remember that Final Four game in Phoenix UNC against Zags in 2017. Bully ball

Thanks for an exciting year Wildcat Nation….players coaches fans!

Lloyd will reload and adjust.

Lloyd has built his foundation strong and recruits will respond.

Good Luck

Bet Lloyd said pound it inside

ZagCatFan

Easy to say hard to do…play under control and get it inside. More the better play inside out

ZagCatFan

Well that was tough way to exit.

Gotta say we had our wide open shots and couldn’t drop’em

Go Cats kick Houston’s ASS.

ZagCatFan

Article came out today on practice and pace of play for Gonzaga. Quote from Lloyd. My guess is Arizona runs similar practices.

Over three subsequent years, many have tried and failed. Most haven’t come close. Some have hung around for 40 or 50 possessions apiece, but that’s around the time Kispert ...
