... tonite, it was evident that Arizona was more energetic, and effective in the first five minutes of the second half - credit CSM!!!

Missed free throws are unrelated to coaching!
Stupid, forced threes (Baker!!!) are not coaching failures!
Arizona was is the perfect position to win this game; the outcome is a huge disappointment for everyone - no one moreso than for the coaches and players....
But this loss is on players failing in the most fundamental, and simple skill - free throws.
That’s it!
Period.
To bad; so sad!
Deal with it....

But, but we're only 5 or 6 points from being a 3 seed! For those of you entertaining the thought of justifying this loss with more metrics and statistical BS, just keep it to yourselves.

Honestly, I thought this was one of the best-played games by Arizona in several weeks! And, it was a very good college game!!
The fact that horrible FT shooting cost Arizona the game - throughout, and, of course, the four missed shots is just soooo disappointing.
I honestly place less blame on Koloko for his misses - everyone know he is still learning to play the game, is still a really raw talent, but has actually shown more growth as a frosh than any other player on the team.
But the rest of them....
If only players placed one-tenth as much value on FT shooting as dunks and fancy offensive moves....
But, no! This is the age of “basketbawful”, and, apparently, when you live by the one-and-done culture, you have to live with it....

Seriously, if we miss the tourney 3 times in millers tenure...fire miller.
Already have....
4x
Altman>>>>>>>>>>Miller
We're gonna make the tourney easily. We're just not going to do jack shit while we're there.
I thought you were out of here....that is what you said right......or was that just wishful thinking ..fine supporter of the program. Who cares if guys are playing hard and doing their best. Could they get bounced in the first round. Sure. Bad matchup...you're gone. Happened many times to Lute. Can happen to anyone ask Virginia.

Last season before this one was when Ayton went #1, after that embarrassing Buffalo defeat.
Yeah. That Ayton team was his most disappointing season at AZ, imo. A team with Ayton, Trier, Alkins and Ristic got blitzed by Buffalo in the first round. Say what you want about PJC, but there's no way that should've happened.

And, if seven guys leave this year, what next???

It would be great if you would stop thinking about me when taking your ED cocktail juice in the morning pal. Seriously your hard on for me at this point is gross, go away.
If you want some optimism, Arizona is #2 in PAC12 play in offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency.
USC is a house of horrors for this team recently and if they can gut one out on Thursday, Saturday will be a huge benchmark for this team's chances in March.

Yeah, I agree. Thursday is a must-win and seemingly more winnable at the moment than Saturday.

I think that is caused by two things: 1. you have more trollers here than fans which drives true fans away and 2. Some folks ego is tied to how this team performs which is very sad. They are overly negative every time they lose and get overly excited with each victory. They have no perspective.
