The entire team is the embodiment of Smith. Great games v. cupcakes, but completely falls apart against real teams.

Seriously with all the talent at some point questions have to be asked of miller as to why he can’t create a system to put our talent in a position to win.

The refs are unbelievable but the two stories of this game are how profoundly ice cold Nico Mannion is, and Gonzaga is too good for Arizona. It's not about being bigger, it's about executing against Arizona's defense.

You are right. Miller really should not have instructed his best player to have an all time horrid game.Beachcat97 wrote:Failure across the board, with the exception of Zeke. Miller is not a good in-game coach.
Bad Coaching indeed.

Player ball movement away from the ball on offense and defense is impressive with Gonzaga.WildcatStunner wrote:Lol we fucking suck.
Can't run an efficient offense with a 5 star PG.

Doubt we’re gonna get there with Miller. But we are also stuck with miller. Oh well.

Maybe this is a good sign that Nico should return next season. 2-17, 0-8.

Pretty clear we’re not the premier program in the West anymore. Maybe #3. Had high hopes of a statement game tonight but it ended up a statement in the wrong way.

Nico has to shoot because he can't get to the rim. He's got the floater but that's not falling tonight. He's Ty Jerome without the defense.
Re: (M) Game 12, Arizona vs Gonzaga (2019-2020)
So when we try to foul the refs swallow their whistles.
So shit.

Re: (M) Game 12, Arizona vs Gonzaga (2019-2020)
There is a lot wrong with this Arizona team. The rebounding and defense aren't good enough to hang with good teams if you don't have a stellar point guard, and Nico is showing himself to be a bit of a black hole.
Nico looked great against Illinois and the weak pre-conference teams, but I haven't seen the leader we hoped for. I don't think this team's falling apart mid-game and having a weak point guard are unrelated. I hope he becomes the point guard he was hyped to be, but I'm not seeing it.
Credit where it's due: 10 assists to 3 turnovers, but the turnovers were killers and he literally shot 15% at high volume.
