97cats · Post by **97cats** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 1:59 pm

40% | 40% |80% = Final Four

Arizona's fifth yr Senior PG is the key to the season -- level out the peaks and valley's and the CATS will be close to unbeatable

Las Vegas-Portland-Los Angeles-Indianapolis

I want to respond to this fire the simple fact that 97 was the creator!!

But I agree withthe shooting numbers. His shooting with definitely open up the floor for a team that people already believe will have shooting problems.

Olsondogg · Post by **Olsondogg** » Mon Oct 06, 2014 2:08 pm

Best FT shooter over the summer, so that's a positive...unless the rest of the team sucked as well.

I tend to think that Zues is the most important player this year.

Nice to see you around again 97.

With TJ's shooting, I'm mostly curious to see if his free throw percentage is back where it belongs. Hopefully after playing a year here he can be more relaxed at the line, or whatever it was that was throwing him off. It seemed to be a disease that spread to the whole team last year.

Best FG% over the summer as well. 72.7%

My favorite new thread!

TJ is the key to a long and sustained run.

We need some recruit talk from you 97!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see more lift on TJ's set shot. Then again, it would no longer be a set shot. Never mind.

gumby · Post by **gumby** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 10:53 am

40% on treys. 80% on FTs. Is the other one FG%? That would be a career low. How about 4:1 ... a/to.

97cats · Post by **97cats** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 11:50 am

McConnell's assist/TO ratio, defense, leadership, intensity, intangibles, effort, and experience were already ever present in Tucson last yr -- sound mind has to believe all those traits will be there again, only better.

its the shooting consistency that vacated his game and haunted the Wildcats last yr; from RED/BLUE through Wisconsin.

shore it up, and see you in Indianapolis

UAGreg · Post by **UAGreg** » Tue Oct 07, 2014 12:31 pm

There's been a lot of talk about who will be our leader this year, and I think without question it's going to be TJ.

Probably the most important player on our team this year.

I look for him to fill that Nick role in terms of leadership this year. Tarc and BAsh are more "follow my lead" type guys.

Huh? How would that make sense?

40 FG 40 3pt 80 FT has to be what he meant (and how everyone was interpreting it as). I think if TJ hits 40% from three then we can expect a little higher overall FG%, something like 45% would be pretty awesome.

basically, it sounded like you were taking credit for the joke and that confused me

I think you're still confused, but I knew that Olsondogg was joking because I have a sense of humor.

Where's Machina when we need him to regulate things around this place.

I think Gumby is also confused. Probably by the math.

I'm excited that he only has to hit 40 percent from the field. Odds of winning just went up! Pass me a Natty!

Plus he has to run the baseline of the 1-3-1 zone defense at full speed during the 40 minutes.

Damon's senior season.

7.3 assists
4.3 rebounds
22.8 ppg (two 40 pt. games)

Have to believe TJ got the first year jitters from playing in the big time out of his system last year. It's now his time to lead us to the promised land. This is our time.

Damn!

Sure is going to help that he's on the bench this season. I think people get caught up in the "Miller's point guard" thing. But, obviously, Damon was (is) no slouch.

85Cat · Post by **85Cat** » Wed Oct 08, 2014 8:45 am

And two 40-pointers.

I wonder if anyone on our team will score more than 30 this year?
