Miller has a epic rebuilding job ahead of him. Rough times ahead.

Yeah pretty sure that isn't the reason we underachieve every year.

When it comes to the tournament luck we sure have a horrible knack of running into teams that decide to shoot over 50% from 3.

It's almost like it isn't luck and is instead a pattern....

I wouldn’t blame Miller if he took off. The pac is shit.

You can't win in this tournament without good guard play. It's so apparent watching this. Just awful.

It’s our defense and lack of rebounding.

Lose and vacate, hopefully.

This is all due to effort. Our D is non existent

Yeah I'm pretty sure that has to be due to our defensive scheme which we won't change under any circumstance.

We're not athletic. Just look at the athleticism of Buffalo's guards compared to ours. PJC is way undersized. Trier has no lateral quickness. His center of gravity is way too high, which is why he's such a bad defender. I'm ready to see our freshmen in the game.

Football school for the time being

catgrad97 · Post by **catgrad97** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:31 pm

At this point, I am almost rooting for a loss by 20.

Just a Bahamas-level performance, all-around.

Our conference is soft, our team is unintelligent, and our pride, intensity and hustle are nonexistent.

If an embarrassment like this is what it takes to make Arizona and the Pac-12 nationally competitive again, very well.

But you can't be sitting at home and just think status quo is fine here, especially after what UCLA and ASU did.

And we were actually complaining about GONZAGA's seed? GTFO.

Yup. Agree completely

Gladiator Cat · Post by **Gladiator Cat** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:32 pm

Seriously, outside of Ayton I don't see anyone else on this team making an NBA roster.

billk78 · Post by **billk78** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:32 pm

Maybe a reset next year will do us some good in the long run. Maybe we get back to recruiting hard nosed players who give a ton of effort. Up till this point I cant say it looks like the cats care AT ALL. Maybe they just want the season done and ready to collect some NBA checks.

Our guards were outplayed and it was 100% effort.

this is not effort, this is coaching and execution...we don't move the ball, no easy baskets, just pathetic

Yep. I really point to unintelligent. I can't fathom someone like Trier taking as many contested shots as he takes with someone like Ayton on the floor. The entire Buffalo team is focused on Ayton. A team with smart players would know how to take advantage. Our team is only the sum of the parts.

phxcat23 · Post by **phxcat23** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 8:37 pm

I just don't understand how we are not prepared. We knew Buffalo is going to live and die by the 3. Yet they are manhandling us and getting open looks all night. Just don't get it at all. They clearly prepped for Ayton/Ristic, but we look like we didn't do shit
