Couldn't hit fucking layups, or threes. What a fucking horrible performance and a failure by the staff to adjust when the threes weren't dropping.

Outplayed and outcoached.

Horrible. Just horrible.

Another dog shit performance in the first half. And another disappointment to end the season. Sadly, not unexpected.

Yeah?

Coaching coached like 37/16/68 on fairly open shots?

I’m the first to agree they should go to the hoop when 3 shooting is dead, but eventually someone needs to make a shot.

I don’t know…..I love Lloyd’s style of play

But……I don’t understand how he failed to recognize that he needed to have the team play balls out defense in the first half to MANUFACTURE points.

We ran 8 fucking deep tonight…..there is no reason that we shouldn’t have pressed and trapped the entire game!

I don't blame Tommy for this loss we just couldn't hit a shot. Most of those shots were good looks. Pelle probably played his worst game ever in an Arizona uniform and Love has not been shooting well the last 4 games.

I would like to give a special shoutout to Omar. Man I am proud of you and all you have accomplished. You have been a great representative for this program and played every game with heart and drive. I will really miss you and thanks for being a Wildcat.

This is an example of poor coaching….sure Boswell is not playing well. I never thought that he had above average athleticism or length. But this is on Tommy for not getting on him to play some tough D and force turnovers and get some easy buckets.

Merk was bullseye.

It's the coaches job to reign in his players when they are taking shots that put the team in a hole. This could have been corrected within the first 5-7 minutes or so. If the shots are not falling, the coach has to have a plan B gameplan for these type of situations.

I agree that Tommy can coach and he can coach to win, but he didn’t recognize that he would need to coach his players to execute a different style of play tonight for the ENTIRE game to win. We needed to play balls out D to win tonight AND we did do that in spurts.

Clemson hasn’t been favored in any of their games and have won all three. Teams have shot 14-75 from three against them, many were wide open shots. Kind of hard to figure that out

One thing for sure, we did speed them up with pressure and it was effective. CTL should have told them to just put your head down and take it to the rack every time. If you get called for an OFoul, so be it.

I am happy with his leadership but he needs to rethink his recruiting. Less foreign players and definitely find a shooter. I am good with Larsson, Love and Boswell moving on if they choose to do so

Disagree. We just need to recruit some more consistent players............Love was too streaky.

I don't think any UA Cat fan expected Love to get hot for 6 straight games.
I don’t think this is a Lloyd problem either

We need a dynamic PG and SG//SF that can hit 3s

The fact Boswell was MIA for so long this season and Love is a streaky volume shooter doomed us
This is absolutely 100% coaching. Our guys were. Chucking up shots left and right and he never corrected that not once. We had a clear advantage if we kept finding it inside. But no.....early out once agin

You guys are idiots. Yes, we got back into the game getting to the hoop but then Clemson packed it in on defense - as they should have - and dared us to hit open shots which we couldn’t.

Easy knee jerk reaction to blame this on coaching but it was our top player like Love and Pelle that let us down.

And when we needed stops, we gave up easy layups.

The wide open 3s we missed are unfortunate, but Larsson getting lost and abused on defense all game was inexcusable. He really regressed the last part of the season with missed FT's/layups/poor defense/TO's; hate to see it because overall I think he had a great career at UofA

As much as I want to blame PG play for tonight, Bradley made up for it. This loss is on terrible basketball basic basketball plays. Gave up 3 layups on inbounds plays. Piss poor defensive communication knowing that Clemson was going to run a 5 out offense. Last 10 minutes of the game went completely away from what was working. For CTL to let that happen, is unacceptable.

So go force it in and hope for foul calls instead of shooting open shots. Great idea. And btw, how many bunnies did we miss?

Looking at Twitter and Facebook, you might be in the minority if you think letting the guards chuck up 28 3s when the Clemson bigs were in foul trouble is good coaching.

This loss is on Tommy. KJ didn't get in until the under 12 min media timeout in the 2nd half. He was the reason we got back in the game in the 1st half along with Bradley.

Not playing KJ over Pelle and Bradley over Boz is coaching malpractice. Pelle is a 6th manz KJ will be a pro.

So disappointing, this was such a good draw for us and we have talent. At least Miller made elite 8's.
