After CSM deleted his twitter, what's the point?

PS - reasonably confident this is our bottom and we crush for 2+ months without a loss.

1) What nuggets of info besides birthdays were you getting from Miller's Twitter?

2) those tweets linked were hilarious and in a way I hope this does let off some of the pressure from UNC. Funny how some people who don't follow UA see the same things.

3) no exposure this season until Texas A&M now but hopefully we get Purdue

4) that is a major coaching and recruiting issue if the team and just turn on the help, perimeter and interior defense and didn't do it vs nc state

5) I think the defense gets there eventually but this team ain't ready yet and why is it taking so long this year to gel defensively?

Unacceptable

[Merkin]

Gonna be a very long plane ride back to Tucson being #2 and now possibly not even ranked.

[PieceOfMeat]

Think of this season like many of our halves under Miller.

Slow starting.

It'll pick up, we'll win quite a few games by the end of the season.

[Harvey Specter]

Unacceptable

Thanks, Captain Obvious. It is unacceptable, actually. Still, STFU.

Miller has earned enough capital that he deserves quite a bit of leniency at the current moment. And you, of all people, should understand that. If one division championship and a shellacking in the title game deserves lifelong support and loyalty, then what does Miller's record up until this point deserve?

Maybe he should go winless this season, And then we can proclaimed that if he demonstrates improvement next year at 9-9 with an NIT bid - he will deserve an extension and raise.

There is only one thing I can think of to rationalize your blind love and support for RR and your disdain for Miller, and it has NOTHING to do with their effectiveness in their respective roles, because they do not compare.

There is NO way that anyone can convince me that the off-the-court turmoil does not have something to do with our current struggles. Whether or not Miller has any complicity in those issues is TBD...

I am extremely disappointed and concerned. We' ll see where this all leads.

[PHXCATS]

Again I have said many times I wanted RR gone last year and demanded improvement this year to keep his job.

Only thing I "disdain" about Miller is his/teams performance this season

Which can be explained by having a key returning player out injured and the revelation that a few highly regarded freshmen aren't ready to carry a heavy load. Yet.

The ceiling is still extremely high for this club provided they stay healthy and the locker room doesn't fracture. The off court FBI, Book Richardson stuff is the unknown variable.

This season does suck.

[Bangkok Wildcat]

This season does suck.

Agreed...HUGE disappointment so far even without the shit storm of the Book scandal. So when was the last time we had such a disappointing early season like this under CSM? Only 5 games into the year and we beat 3 cupcakes and lost to 2 mediocre teams. I’m beyond shocked as we are so loaded with talent and underperforming & embarrassing ourselves on the national stage so early.

I still think good things will happen by the end of this year but we are NOT ‘Arizona Good’ at this point. WTF is wrong with this team? Is there some sort of Bahamas Voodoo curse working against us? I’m stunned at this point.

No, having Rawle out and freshmen being freshmen does not excuse these two losses. However, they are two losses in a 30-40 game season, so there's not a whole hell of a lot that needs excusing in the first place.

[ChooChooCat]

Well I'm convinced now, Hank and dmj you guys were right, let's bring on the sanctions.

Good lord...

[Bangkok Wildcat]

I don’t recall ever being embarrassed of our play / team before. We went from #1 Contender to Bubble Team in a matter of 3 days.

Seriously, if CSM doesn’t do something drastic to turn this dumpster fire around, I’m going to be pissed.....and I don’t want to hear ‘Well, we learned from the loss crap....’. I bought that after the first one but getting beat last night by SM who? And embarrassed / punked by Purdue is disgusting.

I’m ashamed of this team right now. I can’t / don’t want to guess how it could get worse. Screw this crap....these guys need a serious butt-kicking, reality check.....We are NOT Arizona good right now.

Don't start agreeing with me Choo.......you are undermining my confidence

Sanctions ONLY if our own internal investigation shows we are guilty. Delaying the penalties hurts more in the long run.

[PieceOfMeat]

has any team ever gone from #2 to unranked in 1 week?

[Bruins01]

Nope. I think Kentucky fell out from tenth or fifteenth a few years ago, the year they weren't very good and lost in the NIT.

I would say this team would have to improve tremendously to become a bubble team.

I actually don't think this is true, but I have no idea how to verify it.

This was the year after they won it all in '85-'86. Preseason #2 and never ranked again. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/sc ... edule.html" target="_blank

Ah. I wasn't counting preseason polls.

"I wouldn't have predicted we would come down here and finish 0-3," Arizona coach Sean Miller said. "That wasn't the goal. But nothing's ever as bad as it seems. And certainly we probably weren't nearly as good as everybody thought we were before we traveled down here."

Friday's 25-point loss was the biggest of the three defeats, and the biggest since last season's 27-point loss at Oregon. It also marks the first time in school history the Wildcats have lost three straight before the month of December, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

The Wildcats didn't allow more than 85 points in a game last season but have now given up 90 points and 89 points in a three-day span.

[TatetheGreat]

Naturally, lots of gloating from other fan bases in the comments section.

This Oregon fan doesn't even give Miller credit for recruiting:

Raymond Law How is this possible when Arizona has the best team in the nation and best coach. Wrong!! Arizona recruits itself and Miller just has to keep the bus on the road. Imagine what Altman could do with this talent.

well at least we won't be the first then

thanks for the info
