Bear Down Wildcats

I was mentally preparing myself for the end of the season, already mentally crafting my post in this thread eulogizing this team and this amazing run they’ve been on. But then Benn Mathurin and Christian Koloko told me to shut the fuck up with that loser talk because WE ARE NOT DONE YET! lets talk ...

I had retired from sports, I was out. I was clear. I didn’t watch anything from mid-September through mid-February.

But I’m full on relapse right now.

When Kier cam on the floor, the offense almost always stalled and momentum swung the other way. We need Kerr. Not a fan of Kier at all running things. Kier is a very nice spot player off the bench on a top 3 team - he is not a 25min+ a game player on a top 3 team. we toughed it out my man - now we ...

Back to the topic of the 2021-2022 season, am I the only one here unable to stop reveling in how our players saved us from the maw of defeat last night? Before the tourney started, I resisted asking you all whether you were emotionally ready to face being down with under 60 seconds in regulation. I...

i have to say the "bringing the house down" call on the nut dangler was pretty good - super genuine and in the moment and the house was on FIRE.

Houston is going to be a physical battle AGAIN...they don't have as much height, but they have weight...half the team is 210 lbs or more...lots of seniors, deep bench only play 2 freshman AT ALL...5th year guys...this will be like a more physical UCLA squad... Hopefully we are legions faster...our ...

great breakdown, EVCat. Tommy chewed out the clock operator after that happened, not sure if others noticed. And on your second point, you damn well know Kelvin Sampson is going to put together a similar game plan to put pressure on the perimeter defense. Also without the clock fuckery, DTs jam at ...

three in the corner off the inbounds is quickly becoming a fav play in key spots for for Lloyd and shot/play Mathurin loves - look for it more under the hoop on out of bounds play more

Well, somebody got what they wanted. Rather than the story being about how Arizona's dynamic team with a rookie coach overcame an injury to a starter to get to the Sweet Sixteen, while TCU overachieved in the tournament after a mediocre regular season before returning to obscurity, the narrative wa...

The dunks were great obviously but if we make a Final Four or cut down the nets on Monday that 3 pointer with 12 seconds left will be the stuff of legend. I think the offensive rebound and1 in the middle of 4 guys was more impressive. We were only up 1 100% he scored 11 of AZ last 13 points up to t...

fucking Genius went BIG last night (developed it all season) when he had too and called a masterful back door cut out of a AZ timeout at the 1:16 mark to Mathurin that had been in the bag set up all day by TCU overplay - god damn foul from behind but whatever..... going pick n roll with Mathurin whe...

when you get nuts dangled in your face its hard not to be put off.... i can see why Lampkin was so offended

very very very poor game

its all mental with him - if hes engaged hes amazing, and if hes just not feeling it well hes just not gonna try.

fucking bizzaro

I don't really like how confident I am with our draw at this point. this was exactly my reaction and i immediately posted when the brackets were released the way it broke is almost too good for AZ but it seems things have been too good all year and maybe just perhaps its meant to be too good but my...

CSM mentioned in a prior podcast that he expected Benn to have a big Tourney. So far he's spot on. that second half is the stuff Arizona legends are made of ...Mathurin is quickly rising my big board of all time AZ greats. a few more legendary runs like that resulting in pimp ass NCAA Tournament wi...

you create an advantage when you call them all all

many didnt turn out like i "said they could" but this one did. Michigan busted Tennessee and the breaks continue for AZ.

must capitalize tomorrow and advance in the round of 32

97cats

the attrition in this region is the reason this was such a good draw for Arizona - the collection of conf winners means tough games and upsets.

need to win tomorrow

Time to move this thread to arch rivals? I vote no. Our president undermined and then fired Sean Miller. He put together the foundation for our great season. He'd still be here if he could. So, it's a special circumstance deserving special dispensation. Sean Miller is not an arch rival. i like it h...

Watching a #1 go down, can only help with this teams preparation and focus, right? it cant hurt but the tournament just has that open feeling to me. tomorrow is the biggest game before the Final Four for AZ - i do believe if they can get past TCU they will make the F4 but the Horned Frogs in this s...

How do you think our lobs to CK will go? ya know ive never been a fan of feeding the post from the top of the key. however, i do like high low action between our two bigs in the flow of the offense. in Lloyds system the post likes to initiate action early off the high feed at the free throw line wh...

33mins - 18pts - 7-18fg - 4-10(3pt) - 0-0ft - 5rb - 0a - 0blk - 0st - 4to

expect a more complete game Sunday from Mathurin - thought his play today was way too loose and was reflected in zero assists, no free throw attempts, and four turnovers.

not his best

Agree. It's good to know if we face them... it will be in the final game. They were the team I really did not want to see in our region the #1 do not want for me weeks heading into the tournament. Arkansas in the top half and Illinois in Chicago were the only real others for me. crazy how things ha...

Texas Tech looking good they are built for this type of tournament where the whistles are a little less prevalent and the play on's encouraged. as the tournament progresses they are going to be a son-of-a-bitch to eliminate. i love their coach too think hes the best defensive mind in the business.
