Bear Down Wildcats

It seemed like a lack a lackadaisical weekend with the crowd never much into either game. The team's play, with the exception of the remarkable Kadeem Allen, was disjointed and uninspiring. One might understand Miller's frustration. However, it seems like Miller--in this instance of pique-- is/may b...

So much wrong with HANK's post. First off, the pack line is not dependent on having a Rondae or a Gordon out there. Not sure where you are getting the thought that they must nail down the defense before they ever get to practice the offense. I've never been a part of or seen a basketball practice i...

It's possible that Trier doesn't even know why he isn't playing. Before you laugh at that thought, remember that time nobody informed you of your eviction and the next thing you knew the lock had changed, all your stuff was gone, and there was that big, sympathetic south Asian family living in your...

I really wish Hank was our coach. His genius could be better served than shouting at the TV and posting on a message board. Fans are allowed to grouse. Gonzaga's ball movement was a thing a beauty. Around the horn. Then still another pass before a bullet pass to someone sitting all alone under the ...

Imagine Gonzaga without best Pg (Wlliams-Goss), 6-8 forward (Williams) and best scoring guard (Matthews) and staying within 7 of a fully manned Arizona team. They accounted for 30 points yesterday. Starters would be: Perkins, Melson, Tillie, Collins, Karnowski. I'd never say your view (or point) is...

Well, the word biology did jump out at me. I haven't been on the board much lately and was leaning towards academics as the problem based on early posts. A trace of Clenbuterol was in Alberto Cantador's body for what is believed to be a good half year, or more. For one, the drug has a long half lif...

He's a really good coach. Wouldn't trade him for anyone over these years (not even Calipari, and I do like Calipari, who may well have brought us some Final Fours). But as with a marriage, it keeps itching you until the realization can hit you at an unexpected moment, and an unfair and downright ir...

" Boy I sure hope so. If the issues are not resolved by then that doesn't mean he's done for good at Arizona though. There's no target date, just fingers crossed and actions being taken to attempt to speed up the process. " ____________________________________________________________________________...

If it truly is academics, why would Miller publicly admonish Chance Comanche for his academic standing while keeping Trier's situation under wraps? Because Chance is alleged to have skipped class. That type of mistake falls in the category of simple discipline. Trier, OTOH, may have either failed a...

So he could return in January for league play? im told end of December or early Jan but he needs to "clean-up" his mess from the summer. Sounds to me like a cheating issue of sorts that can only be remedied with a complete repeat of class(es). There is also the issue of GPA eligibility which, presu...

They stand a *proud* five five tall but, because of their weight, they are not great leapers, certainly not in a basketball sense. A...

OK. We're back to "not all anabolics are the same." Perhaps *that* was what was meant when a poster said it was NOT a PED. Hence, the legitimate hope for a reduced penalty.

"Covered?" Well maybe. However, that's not the word I'd chose. Still seems possible--academics, that is, especially since it was brought up--and especially since we've been told the AD and Miller feel they can navigate/mitigate/backstory the issue. Like all of us I've wrestled with this issue; if PE...

Trier has had one of the more notorious high school careers ever. He may never have stayed at ANY school longer than than a year starting in fifth grade. The New York Tines published an article about Trier, his mom and his travails focusing on his academics as much as his basketball. It would make s...

I can't remember the last time a college basketball player was ruled ineligible for using PEDs. Not jumping to conclusions yet, but if this is indeed what Trier is suspected of, I'm hoping this is an isolated, even accidental situation, and not something shady going on with our strength and conditi...

Makes sense it was PEDs. Alonzo would have been the *one* player tested on Arizona's team. If you look at his picture shown on WA, posing yesterday with Book, Trier looked like he had a perfectly toned body. More so than I might have imagined possible. Alonzo might have been thinking "League." It al...
