I think you can look at stats at some of our other key players and say the same thing so no this is not that interesting imo.

Loss vs. UCLA - DT did not score, AT who was still injured had only 8 points
Loss vs. Tenn - Kriisa was our second leading scorer. AT/DT/C-Lo combined to score 19 points.
Loss vs. Buffs - C-Lo was 1-5 with 3 TO's and 4PF's, Mathurin was 3-11, DT was 2-6 and 2 TO's

When players play bad there is a higher chance you lose. Great insights there Jon.

I think because Kriisa is Kriisa folks are going to take shots at him.

We’ve also won games when Kriisa hasn’t been particularly great.

Of all teams, this one might be the hardest to say “as ______ goes, so goes the team”. That’s just a lazy take all the way around.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

And you know every time he talks about Arizona he is going to say the x-factor is Kriisa like he's discovered the Holy Grail or something.

Sheesh.

Sean Miller on the Field of 68 just told Kerr Kriisa story.

There was a conversation with Kerr in Estonia where Sean told Kerr that with Akinjo, T.Brown, Baker, Mathurin, Terry on the roster, there was a possibility Kerr would come to America and not play.

Kerr replied so you think I'm scared? I commit to Arizona right now.

It was a great story. Archie cracked up. Told
In a way only Sean can tell a story.

He also told the story about letting Kerr go back home to Estonia to play for his national team. They never thought they’d see him again, but he was back on time like Kerr said he’d be, only to practice cause he wasn’t playing games yet at that point.

Sean was like, now imagine what kind of kid sticks to his word like that kid, to come back to tucson to only practice. (Clearly Sean loves Kerr)

Making a prediction. Sean Miller will be the coach of Georgetown after next season if he gets what we think he will from the FBI bullshit. That is that he had a assistant that went rogue.

Can't remember if it was Rece or Jay, but he made a good comment on how if you are a fan of Arizona, you love Kriisa. If you aren't a fan, well, maybe you don't.

He got a tech for a flop after a made 3, then flops on defense in an immediate play after and gets a charge call. Then does this
I'd be fuming it that was done against us. He also did this. I love him

I’d like it to be known that after that FT and what Kerr did, Arizona went on a huge run.

Younger guy sits next to me at a DFW bar as we wait for planes. I sense an accent so I ask him where he's from. Estonia. Name's Timo and he's a good friend of Kerr. Talking about how they used to ball together and how competitive it was. Fun chat.
