Bear Down Wildcats

A year playing volleyball would have helped Ayton with timing. Look how well it did for Buechler and Budinger. but the big problem with this team is that our backcourt cannot stop penetration. It’s a head scratcher. Sexton just absolutely destroyed PJC. Felt for sure he was going to go all Jimmer o...

great win by UW - total shocker. beat the #2 team on their home court held them to 64 pts playing a ZONE that extended out to guard the 3pt line :shock: Miller does not approve because they didn't effort enough. “Another Golden Oldie.

Probably won't be hearing from enflamo for awhile. Meh, We played flat and are going about 6 deep right now. We get Preston and De Souza we'll be fine.

Isn't Romar involved with the offense? Oh and that wasn't a travel but glad to hear the whistle. He didn't make it anyway Would've been shooting FTs for Ayton's hack on the arm. I think if ESPN started a show in which ref calls were analyzed and argued, it would get epic ratings. Never ceases to am...

What I notice with the offense is the absence of weak-side action. Guys coming off screens and ready to shoot. Pin downs. Cross screens on the block to free a big for an entry pass. Seems we toss it around until someone makes a one-on-one move. Trier is often motionless until he gets the ball. Then ...

Cats remain undefeated on U.S. soil! Last time I checked, that's where the tournament is played!

I can’t remember the last time I was this uninspired by a win. It was probably going 11 minutes without a FG in the 2nd half and then some real crappy play in the final minutes which has me so meh right now. Feels like we have a long way to go. Is this real life? Texas A&M is a legit team, the sort...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9FXNrr9QIM A breakdown of the Pistons' PnR defense, the same as we run. Somewhat similar, but our coverage differs in a few major ways. We hard hedge the side ball screens, and drop coverage the middle/flat abll screens (sometimes Ayton will hedge those too because ...

Just looking back on UNLV... I think Lee played PF for the last six minutes of regulation and nearly all of OT. I almost threw my remote when Dusan checked back in during OT And when he got that offensive rebound, I'm, like, "Don't dribble! Don't dribble!" He dribbles, gets it stolen, but Parker st...

Akot is the biggest surprise for me. Expected much more by now. Instead, he's buried and that will get worse when Alkins gets back. So much to learn. Hope he's a willing student, because he has what we so desperately need: great size, potential to defend really well and moves the ball.

gumby

One thing Milller can do is to deploy a packline more similar to Izzo or what Gonzaga was successful with last year. Ristic is not Tarczewski and can't recover nearly as well when hedging that far out. And even when Tarc was here we would get burned by it from time to time. Last year, Few had Karno...

Seriously doubt he'll be back Tuesday. https://twitter.com/BrucePascoe/status/937210363723988992 Interesting to see if the team builds on the comeback or backslides, thinking they can just outscore teams. Again, there isn't ONE problem or lineup change that fixes this. Even when Ristic was out, UNLV...

I rewatched some of last night - can see why Miller was pissed. I really enjoyed this post. I rolled back a lot of the plays (I don't do halftime and timeouts), and you're right. I remember the Randolph play. I'm like, why are you in the paint? There are three Wildcats in the paint. Why are you one...

I rewatched some of last night - can see why Miller was pissed. The freshman look absolutely lost at times. Like, they can't remember to play defense for more than 10 seconds.

Sounds a lot like Lute too. This year reminds me a lot of Lute during the 90's. He'll never win the big one, the final 4 is his ceiling. What a bunch of delusional fans back then.

So what makes the fan base change it's mind about this team? Does beating UNLV on the road Saturday mean anything if we lose to A &M in PHX? What about Alabama at home?

From those clips it sounds like guys aren't buying in. It's especially concerning that even the older guys aren't giving full effort. We clearly lack the leadership of years past but I've never seen a Miller-coached team so tuned out. Perhaps there is frustration with his coaching style and schemes...

Don't know that he expected him to be the best, but certainly better. We have no shortage of bodies at the 2 and 3 slots. Fierce competition for playing time.
