Bear Down Wildcats

Watch Miller's presser; it just finished on EPSNN right now, but I am sure it will be online.

For as disappointed as everyone is over this loss, imagine how he and the players feel. He was a bit feisty at the opening - understandably, but not over the top. He was as brutally honest and candid as he always is, and finds a way to keep things in persepective even at the most trying times.

He basically said that if someone told him we would have 10 TO's, win the rebounding battle by 1, shoot 56% from the field, and go 28-30 from the foul line - he would not have believed we could lose.

He admitted feeling snakebit in the Elite 8 ("No question... Losing this game 4 times in 7 years is probably a record, isn't it?) and actually laughed when someone confirmed that Wiscy had gone 10-12 from 3 in the 2nd half. He pretty much said "Maybe Kentucky is good enough to beat Wisconsin if they shoot that way, but IF they are - they are the ONLY ones". He heaped praise on Kaminsky and Dekker, very sincerely.

Life does not always go your way... How you handle the moments when it doesn't is a window to your character. Our coach has it in spades.

Would. Not. Trade.

Completely. Class act.

That pressor was good to watch and helpful. Very very helpful.

didnt watch but not the least bit surprised

I am not lying when I say there is not a single coach in the country I would rather have. Sometimes it takes a while for the best to get the breaks.

Sean Miller is the right coach for Arizona.

Good things will come one day. I have a feeling the breakthrough is going to happen when it is least expected from both our fans and the media.

Yup. If we can keep him for the long-term I would be surprised if he didn't pull in 3-4 FFs and a title or two.

Couldn't ask for a better coach.

Loved his opening statement. Paraphrased - These guys have been in the top ten the entire past two seasons, won 69 games in those two years, won the Pac-12 twice... if you have a problem with that you know what you can do with it.

No coach I would rather have over Miller

Part of the allure of Miller is his youth and room to grow. hopefully he learned something today because the in- game coaching part could be better

You will not beat 15-19 and 10-12 threes no matter who you are. Wisconsin won that game, we didn't lose it

Jason at the other site basically said (I'm paraphrasing), "this game/end of the season isn't nearly as tough of a pill to swallow as last year."

I could not agree more.

I'm heartbroken & grumpy as all fuck.



BUT to TJ & all of the young men who will not be back - thanks for the ride. Hats off.

To Coach, Gabe, Elliot, the newcomers & any of my men who may be returning - thanks for honoring the process. Can't wait to live & die with you again each & every game next year. Salud. Much love.

I'm more worn down than anything else, especially after the last five days.

As a huge Arizona basketball fan, you just can't help but project your personal status onto how the Wildcats end their season.

All I can say is, apparently with all this sh*t that was "meant to be," this week was apparently meant to break me, so someone out there can feel plenty happy about that.

The right person is leading this program. That is not debatable.

Love Miller...he is a stand up guy who cares immensely about UA and the players that come thru the system , as well as the fans and alumni. He recruits as well as anyone and prepares the guys to win a ton of games year in/year out. As long as we have him the program will be in great shape.

Will someone provide a link of the FULL presser??
