I agree there was concern on whether top recruits would take a chance or if transfers thought it was wise to sign with a young head coach. Hell before KJ and Love signed that angst was here in spades. What we have in a coach is a guy that took an out of shape player that could not get a minute at go...

I think we need an annual series with GCU soon. https://c.tenor.com/nuQBdq4JF6EAAAAd/tenor.gif This. GCU is a for profit Christian school that offers nothing to the UA. Beating them is like a 6th grader beating up a kindergartener, and losing to them would be a disaster. I know what they are. If th...

Texas A&M rebounds the fn ball. Played hard the whole game. I think we need an annual series with GCU soon.

TheCat

You’re moving the goalposts again. The issue isn’t “contributors”. The issue is: lack of ncaa tournament performance coupled the very unconventional roster composition when it comes to teams that have made F4s and won natties. When the AD is looking for folks to commit to $25,000 a year times 10 ye...

I guess when boosters say foreign player heavy rosters have not been shown as effective I would question that and the intelligence of those that said that. Ballo (foreigner) and Pelle (euro)are both starters on a team that was number 1 in the country. Mathurin was a foreign player. The leading scor...

Ben Gordon is probably a better comparison because of build alone. We will be incredibly young in a new league but like the way the team is structured. Would like a big PF that rebounds the hell out of the ball because although we have numbers down low most are a bit light and need to add strength. ...

That is who Louisville really wanted. Scott Drew is next but he isn't going anywhere.

TheCat

Never heard about any agreement. Did hear Robbins was ready to move on Miller immediately after the Romar - Oregon weekend. Imo this was a pretty big week for Lloyd to get through. His seat isnt hot but a third flameout may have got people talking and his AD is no longer there. Yeah let's threaten ...

McCullar is out for the tourney. Tough break for Kansas. I still see Kansas making the Sweet 16. Everyone is picking them to lose in the first round. Ain't happening. Bill Self is the best coach in college basketball and has been for at least 10 years. Enough said: It marked the first time in Kansa...

Offensive rebounds was the story of this game. With Martinez on the bench with foul trouble we had no chance.

TheCat

Play solid. Don't try and force the ball inside which we have a tendency to do at the start of games and after halfs. They have momentum. We started to act like we were invincible with hero passes rather than good fundamental basketball. Second half will be a war. Have to turn the momentum around. I...

TheCat

I don't think there was any mutual agreement with Miller. They refused to extend him and decided to go in another direction. I loved coach Miller but he and the university were so damaged by the ESPN and others that both parties needed a break. Sean learned a lot in that year as his offense looks no...

TheCat

I will know how we will play based on 2 factors. Caleb Love and Pelle's first free throws. In games we struggled you can see it when they struggle in that first set of freebies. My hope is they are pure. This will be a tough game because these guys will reduce the number of possessions and they will...

No CSM was dismissed but not for cause which meant they had to pay his salary.

I wished we cut that hard. Tough team and what a great offensive flow they have. Imagine these teams fans that don't often make the tourney and proud they must be for a win.

TheCat

You can tell those guys really like each other and have a great bond. Hope they play well tomorrow.

TheCat

If he can continue to rebound like he did it is a new dimension to our offense and defense.

TheCat

Holmes will be a nightmare. Not sure who will cover him because he is mobile and would move Ballo away from the basket. They're all good shooters. Not an easy game at all.

TheCat

Tom has to assert himself and have the nuts to bench Boswell and start Bradley. I really think our chances of winning increase without Boswell as this point. No more Mr. Nice Guy. You have to put your team in the best possible situation to win. Never let the inmates run the asylum. Thankyou Capt O ...

TheCat

WOW. Nice call on the block shot. Finally glad to see Kansas getting some calls.

TheCat

Rising up. Now get Caleb on track and we have a good chance to keep advancing.

TheCat

Nice class and I think Phillips is a lot like Salim. Those guys are shooters.

Who do we want? Dayton or Nevaduh? I’m not seeing any match up problems or stylistic problems from either of these teams yet, so probably either are fine. Anyone else seeing anything? That would be wrong. Dayton is by far the team that can give us trouble. Got a stud in Homes II and he has good siz...

So in reality a couple of glowing issues. We were out rebounded. That should not happen. KJ Lewis has hit a wall lately and is not having the impact he should. Larrson was terrible in the first half other than a corner 3. In the zone he is the guy that needs to flash to the middle because he is a go...

You guys see the Washington AD that hired Jedd is leaving after 5 mo on the job and with no basketball coach.

Caleb Love $21
Pelle Larsson $16
KJ Lewis $7
Filip Borovicanin $2
Paulias Mauraskas $2
Conrad Martinez $1

If you want to understand how bad some of the decision making was we lost to Miss. St. that fired their coach. We say he was a great evaluator of talent yet he didn't understand who his best QB was. I loved the offense he ran though and hopefully that continues. Everyone points to NF as the reason w...

True. Probably won't name a AD for another 6 months while they get alignment. Whatever that means.

Love the time. Too late in the day and we'll be nervous all day. This way I have a chance of being productive after as long as we win. The women's game was just announced for the same day at 4pm Tucson time, so forget me doing anything but watching basketball all day. I suspect many of you will be ...

Interesting article till I read this "He (Crowe) should also open the vault for Greg Byrne, the former Sun Devil and current Alabama athletic director who no longer has Nick Saban as his head coach. Even at the risk of a phone call that might go unanswered." This just goes to show that they are so d...

I gotta say: I'd rather have UNC in our region than Purdue, UConn or Houston. It's right there for us if this team can get its shit together. Would have preferred Purdue. I think we can hang with their guards better than we did earlier. UNC will be a particularly difficult match up at center who ca...

Par for the course meaning impatient Arizona fans get really antsy real fast. I’m along for the ride and enjoying watching CTL put his stamp on things Stamp on things?

Thanks Capt O. Appreciate the endorsement.

TheCat

Imagine if the whole team came back but KJ. That would be a good start in our new league as opposed to a entirely new team. I saw a ranking of NBA prospects and that highest associated with Arizona was Adama.

TheCat

The Oregon game. But I started my posts about the picture saying “if it’s real”. The team came out flat twice this week. Both losses could have cost them a seed. I think it’s fair, as fans, to be upset about it. So you think that looks like Las Vegas? Maybe old downtown Vegas where locals went.

TheCat

Sorry about the wrong nickname. Capt O is right they are the lopes. People don't know who they are but since you do that is all that matters to Arizona fans.

TheCat

This kid has done more than I ever expected and I just hope the rest of his life he finds joy and success. He has been a great ambassador for the university and is always well spoken. He has made the most of his abilities and not many players or people can make that claim. I respect and admire him.

TheCat

The one coach I would have on speed dial for Louisville, Ohio State or other openings is Bryce Drew. The jackrabbits are going to their 3rd tournament in 4 years and no one knows who they are. If given unlimited resources and a national platform I think he would KILL it.

TheCat

That buyout has eliminated most teams from even considering him including Louisville. You can get the highest level coach for 2 years for that kind of money. I'm happy you are stuck with him for at least 2 more years and by then you will probably be willing to wave the buyout. Unlike others I think ...

TheCat

CST sorry if I misinterpret your comment. There are plenty of others though that heap unfair criticism on this team. These guys will have ups and downs as much as it pains us all. Kylan has been struggling for half a year with his confidence and no one feels that more than him. Love the last 3 games...

Interesting. Long Beach State has terminated their coach (Don Monson) but was allowing him to play out the season since Irvine and San Diego were prohibited favorites to win the conference title. Guess what LB State just won and will be heading to the NCAA tourney. Great story.
