I thought the offensive foul was a reach... hard to blame him on that one...

If we lose this one I'm going to break out the single malt. Team, please keep me from myself!

He could guard like Trier did.

Aykot needs to step up. He's the Dutch boy with the finger in the dike.

By step up, I mean guard the perimeter, and protect the ball on offense and not try to score.

Trier needs to show what he's made of at the point.

It's the only path forward because PJC has six floor minutes left maximum.

Worried about a Azubuike situation with Akot in a close game this season, it's going to happen.

Anyone see Mickey Mitchell's teeth? Those chompers have probably hurt a couple of the dudes he's gone down on.

We require this type of condition to initiate a decent D. And then ...well, the outcome is uncertain.

Miller will probably have a better record at Pitt next year than he would at Tucson, anyway....

No. Not single-handedly..............but he is contributing.

Our guards are seriously getting their ass kicked. I have a feeling our 2nd round NCAA game is going to look a lot like this.

It's like our team doesn't pay attention to the scouting report when it says justice steps into all his threes

Correct, and blame is on Miller.

Remember all the recruiting hyp? Randolph and Akot would be starting...abarcello would be PG by the tournament.

Our guard play is just bad all around. Bigs can't help if no one can get them the ball.

He does have the only points on the 2nd team, but he did miss those 2 FTs, got to hit the freebies

I agree but I like his energy on the floor and he's a pretty good defender.
