Bear Down Wildcats

The entire team is the embodiment of Smith. Great games v. cupcakes, but completely falls apart against real teams.

Seriously with all the talent at some point questions have to be asked of miller as to why he can’t create a system to put our talent in a position to win.

This is the game that makes me question Miller at Arizona.

Smith is not the huge disappointment being evidenced tonite...

... seriously.

The refs are unbelievable but the two stories of this game are how profoundly ice cold Nico Mannion is, and Gonzaga is too good for Arizona. It's not about being bigger, it's about executing against Arizona's defense.

You are right. Miller really should not have instructed his best player to have an all time horrid game.

Bad Coaching indeed.

Can't run an efficient offense with a 5 star PG.
Can't defend and rebound.

Player ball movement away from the ball on offense and defense is impressive with Gonzaga.

Doubt we’re gonna get there with Miller. But we are also stuck with miller. Oh well.

there ya go Green

Exactly.

It all seems like an old friend. UofA fans have really, really, shitty old friends.

Yeah, we can't even afford to fire our shitty Football coach until MAYBE next year?

Even if you're tired of Miller, we're gonna be stuck with him for awhile.

jeter was shoved and still managed to get that tipped in lol

zeke didnt rotate over to help there

Gonzaga is shitting on us.

welp, if we're gonna shoot poorly, at least we're not afraid to keep jacking up those bricks

I'll be surprised if this team makes it out of the first weekend.

You know we're not playing Oregon St right now, right?

nico omg

ha ha ha ha ha missed layup

Flex on em Petrusev!

Can Nico not shot the ball for the rest of the game?

Nico can't make an uncontested layup.

Good night

I know. And I hate to be doom and gloom, but our failures against big teams makes me really question the potential of the team this season.

honestly i would have thought we lost by 25 if you had told me in advance we were gonna shoot this bad from 3 and have nico shoot this badly from everywhere

Gonzaga is such a disciplined team and get unc at home?

Class of the west

Nico. I'm begging you. STOP SHOOTING THE BALL.

Nico is just being stupid and stubborn

Alieberman wrote:Nico is just being stupid and stubborn

pretty much

real question is why is miller letting him stay out there and do it

Game off.

My sanity and sleep is too important

Maybe this is a good sign that Nico should return next season. 2-17, 0-8.

Gonzaga is a damn good team with a damn good coach.

Merk, I know you know it doesn't work like that

Yeah, we lose by 20 and........well.........on our home court...........

Pretty clear we’re not the premier program in the West anymore. Maybe #3. Had high hopes of a statement game tonight but it ended up a statement in the wrong way.

keep brickin it nico....ffs

Signature Sean Miller.

Nico has to shoot because he can't get to the rim. He's got the floater but that's not falling tonight. He's Ty Jerome without the defense.

So when we try to foul the refs swallow their whistles.

So shit.

why is hazzard not in the game when we need shots and he's actually made some?

The eternal emptiness of life with one-and-dones....

Our backcourt should have been Baker and Hazzard during the last 10 minutes.

nnaji didnt foul

Yup and few and Altman are better coaches with better programs

We are a transformers movie, lots of explosions but ultimately no substance

Well we made the ending interesting!

There is a lot wrong with this Arizona team. The rebounding and defense aren't good enough to hang with good teams if you don't have a stellar point guard, and Nico is showing himself to be a bit of a black hole.

Nico looked great against Illinois and the weak pre-conference teams, but I haven't seen the leader we hoped for. I don't think this team's falling apart mid-game and having a weak point guard are unrelated. I hope he becomes the point guard he was hyped to be, but I'm not seeing it.

Credit where it's due: 10 assists to 3 turnovers, but the turnovers were killers and he literally shot 15% at high volume.

How is this a game?!!!!!!

why didnt miller start full court press sooner?

Miller is a shit coach. I don't know why anyone goes to bat for him anymore.
