Bear Down Wildcats

Captain Obvious

Oregon State has been to the Elite 8 more recently than Arizona. Let that sink in.

Captain Obvious

Brackets and seedings aside I believe this team's ceiling is the Sweet 16. I don't think we have strong enough point guard play nor the athleticism to advance very far. I think as we head into the final stretch of the season we play several teams that aren't going to test us enough with the exceptio...

Captain Obvious

Kudos to Coach Lloyd and the Cats. Really didn't think they matched up well with UCLA but I was proven wrong. I like the defensive effort today and the fact the Cats are able to win in lower scoring games. Thanks to the great crowd as well even though I'm not a fan of white outs. I hope everyone enj...

Captain Obvious

UCLA dictating tempo and imposing their will. They did the same to ASSU on Thursday. We need a real PG.

Captain Obvious

Poor guard play, low shooting percentage, and getting outrebounded. Gonna be a long afternoon.

Captain Obvious

Don't see this game being very close. UCLA has superior point guard play; Arizona does not. I think Arizona plays hard but UCLA plays smart. 71-58 Bruins. Honestly I think UCLA is a legit FF, NC team. Coach Cronin has done an amazing job.

https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2023-01-20/ucla-basketball-arizona-fans-rivalry Most condescending article ever. That should get the fans ready if they read this Not sure how it's condescending. Accurate is probably a more honest appraisal IMHO. He sprinkled in some good humor so it's act...

Captain Obvious

I think reality is setting in with this year's team and understandably so with the loss of three bought and paid for Sean Miller recruits that are now in the NBA. Realistically this team will lose 8-9 games. I see them getting into the NCAA tournament but losing the first or second game. CTL doesn't...

Captain Obvious

Sweet 16 is the ceiling for this team and that's being optimistic. UCLA is the best team in the conference.....by far. You know, the team that can actually get to the Final Four (four times) since we've been there. We are not elite. Even Texas has been to the Final Four more recently than Arizona ha...

Captain Obvious

I think reality is setting in with this team. Our schedule hasn't been that tough overall. Losing 3 NBA players is starting to manifest its ill effects. Great job so far by Wazzu. Clearly not intimidated.

Captain Obvious

As the great Dick Vitale would say, "Cupcake City Baby"!!!

Captain Obvious

Why would anyone schedule USC for homecoming? Easy win for the Trojans.

Captain Obvious

Reality check incoming. Brace for impact. We don't belong on the same field with any SEC team. Don't let the SDSU win fool you. We still suck. Expectation management must be employed wisely when it comes to Arizona football. The stadium will be mostly empty by the third quarter. Beat the traffic. Ch...

Captain Obvious

I hope Duke blows these guys out. Run them out of the arena for all I care. These grind it out, low scoring, sloppy teams are really getting on my nerves. That Houston/Nova game was horrific. 94 points combined. Just absolutely awful to watch. The NCAA needs to take measures to speed games up and cl...

Captain Obvious

Maybe Koloko will just want to come back? That's possible but I think Koloko should enter the draft. He's put on a lot of muscle and can put on more in the off season. I think he's as ready now as he's going to be. No upside to coming back and risking injury only to end up with nothing to show for ...

Captain Obvious

What a great game. Congrats to North Carolina (who has won 17 straight games against the Pac 12 by the way). Just shows you how awful the Pac 12 really is when you compare it to real conferences. Congrats to UCLA on a great season as well. I really like their players. Confident and composed. They ba...

Captain Obvious

I don't know if I can deal with UCLA getting another Final 4 Seriously. With all their other failings and ups and downs (their downs have been lower than ours the last 20+ years) they still have 4 final 4s since we've last had one. Arizona just is permanently cursed and this point. I couldn't agree...

Captain Obvious

On this day in 1997 Arizona defeated Kansas 85-82 in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament Southeast Region. Kansas entered the game with a a record of 34-1 and a team that included Paul Pierce, Raef LaFrentz, and Jacque Vaughn. But the Wildcats with the superior guard play of Miles Simon, Mike Bibby,...

Captain Obvious

I'm still concerned with our turnovers but aside from that I think we match up very well with Houston. Our size could really give them problems. We just have to rebound, rebound, rebound and limit their second shots. We need other players to contribute more as well. AT and Ballo need to give us good...

Captain Obvious

Just saw a stupid Outkick article that suggests Mathurin may have touched a TCU cheerleaders chest on his way out of the arena after the game. I watched it and it looked like it was inadvertent to me. He had his arms out celebrating. Looks like nothing to me. It's so annoying that certain people hav...

Captain Obvious

I think this game will be a lot like the Gonzaga/Memphis game yesterday. TCU will come out all gung ho and play over their heads. I'm hoping they'll get into foul trouble with their style of defense and wear down. I think we'll win but everyone's blood pressure will be markedly higher. The refs in t...

Captain Obvious

Go Cyclones! I love watching Wisconsin get eliminated. They always seem to have the most obnoxious players.

Captain Obvious

Houston's defense is the best I've seen. It seems like they have 7 guys out there.

Gosh I didn't realize Jerry 'The King' Lawler was Illinois' coach.

The worst bracket in history!

Scrotum head Vitale getting things wrong as usual. What a doofus.

Captain Obvious

Michigan holding their own thus far.

Captain Obvious

I'm thankful Miller left a full cupboard. We wouldn't be 32-3 and heading into the second round of the NCAA tournament without Miller's hard work and dedication. I'm guilty of judging him too harshly with no real evidence. I didn't always agree with his coaching style but who cares. It won a lot of ...

Captain Obvious

I wish we could have a UofA watch party with all of you guys to watch our Cats and drink some drinks. I would invite you all if I could! Except Captain Obvious. That dude would complain about the type of chips I bought Nah, I'm not that mean. Besides feeling bad for them, I give credit to anyone th...

Captain Obvious

Tar Heels working Baylor right now. I hope they blow them out. Not bragging but my bracket looks fantastic right now. I had Baylor getting ousted in the second round. I didn't think they deserved a #1 seed TBH.

Captain Obvious

The Pac 12 really stunk it up in the first round. All three teams looked awful and quite frankly all three games were hard to watch. USC played like they really didn't even want to be there, and still almost won. We let Wright State hang around but we dashed their hopes each time they made a run and...

Captain Obvious

TCU is the exact type of team that has historically given Arizona problems. Physical teams that slow the tempo and make it a half court game have a chance against us. TCU packs the paint and they will do that tomorrow to see if we can hit our outside shots. This is where dribble penetration is key. ...

Captain Obvious

On this day in 1993 Arizona was eliminated from the NCAA tournament by Santa Clara and the great Steve Nash. The unheralded Broncos held the Cats to just one field goal over 15 minutes in the second half to secure the 64-61 victory. Santa Clara only had one returning starter and several freshman on ...

Captain Obvious

Someone else already mentioned this but Wright St. watched Kentucky lose today and other high seeds struggle and they're thinking they can win tomorrow. If Wright State can limit Arizona's offensive rebounds and slow them down and make it a half court game I believe they can win. Throw in a mix of m...

Hopefully Loyola loses their first game so we don't have to have to endure the Sister Jean updates ad nauseum like before. Enough already with that crap. So annoying.

Captain Obvious

The swelling is still quite profound judging from that picture even considering the three rolls of tape they used. Just put it in a cast for God's sake. I feel as though KK may end up being more of a liability than an asset if he plays tomorrow. Especially on defense. Wright State has very good guar...

Captain Obvious

Not surprised about Iowa. They always seem to do well in the regular season and then choke in the tournament. They remind me a lot of Arizona in that respect. Such a disappointing yet predictable pattern.

Captain Obvious

Holden from Wright State with 32 points and 10 boards thus far. This kid is a legit 6'6" guard. All I can say is never underestimate your opponent. People on here making jokes about our first round opponent and talking about missing crocs. We better be ready for these guys. I think we could have our...

Captain Obvious

I think my skepticism for us going deep into the tournament is the fact we have a first year head coach. And I'll admit that's not necessarily rational or fair to assume based on the amazing job CTL has done. I just have a hard time visualizing a first year coach getting to a FF or NC game but rulin...

Captain Obvious

I had a sprained ankle that discolored very much like that once and it didn't heal for months. I could walk (painfully) but I definitely couldn't run or jump on it. Kriisa's ability to run, jump, and pivot is probably going to be pretty limited. It may be wise to just sit out. No sense damaging it m...

Captain Obvious

The winner of TCU/Seton Hall scares me if we win our first game. I could see us having problems with either of those teams. TCU is long and physical and held their own against Kansas twice this year. Seton Hall has just seemed to have our number in the NCAA tournament. We've been eliminated twice by...

Captain Obvious

I'm not really too concerned about who ends up in our region because we have an excellent adjustment coach that welcomes input from his assistants and players. I wouldn't have the same confidence with a round peg/square hole coach like Miller was. The whole my way or no way inflexible style of coach...

Captain Obvious

Going from bad to worse. Not good.

Captain Obvious

Going to be an ugly second half too. Hopefully we don't sustain any more casualties.

Shut the fuck up

Captain Obvious

This game could get out reach pretty fast. UCLA has us exactly where they want us. Defense does that.

Captain Obvious

Need CK and BM to be more productive tonight. We've got to limit our turnovers as well. The Bruins are finally healthy and firing on all cylinders. We've seemed a little off our game since the USC win and that concerns me.

Captain Obvious

They're better when they've slowed it down. If this stays under 72-ish points, I think UCLA pulls away late with free throws. If it's in the 80s, I like our chances. But I think they'll win because they'll determine the pace without Kerr pushing it. Very good points. UCLA is good at dictating tempo...

Seemed like CLo was worn down.

Yeah it could catch up to us but our luck against UCLA is more concerning. They just seem to always have our number.

Captain Obvious

Excellent half. Way to weather the storm of threes. Gotta finish strong and send these guys back to Boulder to await their NIT invitation.
