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.
About 10 foot cushion

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.

Not worried. We got this.

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:12 pm

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

Trier, not a PG.

You don't want to watch.

and to start the 2nd half, we come out like .... well let's just say not very good

billk78 · Post by **billk78** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:16 pm

WHy does Dylan Smith continue to play???? He's costing us this game.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:17 pm

Problem is, neither Alkins nor anybody on Arizona's bench can play basketball.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:17 pm

Can't imagine Barcello being worse that Smith.

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:17 pm

So Arizona doesn’t understand that ASU are streak shooters?

billk78 · Post by **billk78** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:17 pm

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....

Miller stopped playing him way too early.

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.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:18 pm

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

Be careful what you wish for this year.

Take out Ristic or Ayton and lets see what happens.

Correct, and blame is on Miller.

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

NYCat · Post by **NYCat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:20 pm

32-6 run lol

This play was the epitome of the season. We are a bad defense in large part because our guys do not have a high basketball iq

Dave · Post by **Dave** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:20 pm

We are going to find out the mental toughness of this team. This one is going to be very difficult to overcome.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:20 pm

Bench still with 2 points among the 5 scrubs.

DrWildcat · Post by **DrWildcat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:21 pm

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

I actually think Akot is pretty decent.

OSUCat · Post by **OSUCat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:22 pm

Trier has no idea what to do with a smaller quicker defender.

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:23 pm

I wouldn't mind seeing Randolph instead of Dylan Smith for the rest of the game.

He can't play much worse

Dribble behind his back

Ball should be going down low every possession

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

We can say this for every possession, every game, all season. But for some reason we don't do it.

I don't think miller was saying that.

Not really sure why people thought that.
Not really how Miller coaches

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

Randolph is the equivalent of a triathlete who has never taken a stab at playing basketball.

Give it to Ayton the rest of the way and let him score or pass it out
