This is some weak trolling, seriously. I mean do Marquette fans come in here talking shit about their superiority because, you know, Dwayne Wade? You gotta do better than James Harden and weak smack, dude.

Re: Guard U

Nothing?

Look Harden’s always been a great individual offensive player, but that’s about it. He has glaring defensive issues, notably in the give-a-damn statistic. So woo hoo! He’s the best half player in the league.

ASU is undefeated against arguably the hardest schedule in the nation up to this point, with all but one of their wins being double digits/blowout fashion.

Re: 2017-2018 Arizona Basketball

Yeah Sexton is tough. He killed us by drawing so many fouls, but otherwise shot 40% and had no rebounds and just a couple assists. That’s a chucker’s line if you take away the free throws. But yeah...

I don’t blame PJC for that. Sexton is going to go off on a lot of people this year.

Re: 2017-2018 Arizona Basketball

What you think of Arizona's defense? I watched the Alabama game with my eyes trained mostly on Ayton and Ristic. Despite Lauri last year, it's still weird to watch a 7'-1" player defending so much out along the perimeter. While Ristic was out, Ayton could have been more aggressive in defending the ...

I think PJC and Ristic will have to be played situationally.

Akot's vision in the RB was impressive, I though...
