Bonton is abusing our supposed best defensive player.

I'm not kidding when I say this teams looks more and more like they just want the season to be over with.

Its almost depressing to watch the lack of interest and lackadaisical play.

If it wasn't for Zeke Nnaji this team might have 15 losses already and completely out of March Madness today.

I think Miller is on the ragged edge and the team has stopped responding to him.

I was thinking the same thing. This team just looks tired and worn out and they just want to go home and rest.

Yep Merk they sure do.

Totally agree.

I firmly believe that Miller felt this team was "the" team. The one that would be the perfect mold of quality upperclassman, and elite level freshman. This was going to be the team that put it all together, followed the DWWD mantra of this program, and have one hell of a season. I think once we saw the performance against Gonzaga & St. John's, and then saw the game at Oregon State, he and everyone else realized this team was much farther away than expected.

Granted, I believe a large chunk of that is on him, but the players aren't absolved from this either.

The burn out phase is real.

Dude has missed a number of buckets at the rim that a better player easily makes.

Plus, his penetration against Smith has allowed for some easy looks for WSU. More goes into it than just his FG percentage.

It’s nice that someone knows that you can dunk in traffic.

That fade was against Green

Hopefully the Cats can sustain this run.

21-0 run.

This is the most confident that Mannion has looked in a long, long time

Wsu is shooting less then 32%.

This team's best offense comes off great defense

There was a time when this would be celebrated as a “run of death”...

... now we’re just waiting for the other team to catch up....

A nice little 24-0 run!

What we really need is someone to talk about Temecula dirt

Who the hell is this team and why don't they show up more often?

Can we have this Nico every game?

Statfreak77 · Post by **Statfreak77** » Thu Mar 05, 2020 10:09 pm

The majority of this has been with Smith on the bench, right?

Smith has a +/- of 1. Only Cat lower is Koloko at -6.

Frankly, they only thing more deflating than this team’s season performance, is the tedious, predictable, overwrought complaining about the scapegoat - Smith...

... failure to reach posting potential, not to mention posting IQ, on so many levels....

Smith being labeled a "scapegoat" is hilarious.

Smith, the starting 2G, is 8th in points for Arizona.

He’s a shooting guard, not a making guard?

What an uninspiring second half. Obviously the team has given up on Miller and this season.

Liked the 2nd half. Played with some intensity. We are not going to win many when they outscore us by 12 on the free throw line. See UCLA. I think Sean has been talking about that since January.

Whoopie.

We pound shitty teams and get pounded when we play decent ones.

NET score!!!!
