Here's my quick reply.

If we can find a consistent shooter, even off the bench, we'll be scary good. Can't wait!!!

UCLA sucks

Sorry, guys. It was the only appropriate way to start my participation here.

Bear Down!

NC game or bust

I hope we :

take UCLA to the woodshed this year by 20+
win the PAC tourney.
make the Final Four

Taking them to the woodshed next season seems inevitable. And what's funny (but also sh*tty) is that beating them won't really do much for our resume. It's not really a "quality victory."

Is this like the old site with consolidated threads? If so, is this the one thread to rule them all? If that's the case, for the second year in a row, the sky's the limit. The only team that can beat us is in Tucson.

Miller and the cats need to bust that FF door down this year

well this is general 2014-15 discussion. any other topic that doesn't completely fit into general discussion and big picture stuff for next year can go into a new thread. we have to have order and rules in our new fledgling independent state.

If we manage to bust down that FF door, we have to finish it off with the NC. Considering what could have been this year, and the possibility that we could absolutely be entering the tourney undefeated next year, I don't know that FF will be satisfactory...

So Rondae just had a baby?

Spaceman Spiff · Post by **Spaceman Spiff** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 4:35 pm

If Rondae just had a baby, he played really well pregnant. He really wasn't showing at all in March.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 4:42 pm

So he was dealing with a pregnancy all year as well?

At least since 10/2013. Kudos.

Jefe · Post by **Jefe** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 4:48 pm

Weird, he just took the baby picture down from Instagram

and another new tattoo. Been busy back at home...

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 4:49 pm

IS RHJ in Chester or Tucson for the summer?

Was his baby born in PA or AZ?

Jefe · Post by **Jefe** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 4:54 pm

Hes been in PA for a little over a week: http://web.stagram.com/n/rondaejefferson/

Awesome. Thanks dude.

dcZONAfan · Post by **dcZONAfan** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 10:48 am

we don't actually believe that Rondae had a straight white baby, do we? Cmon y'all that's silly

Nice piece by Javier Morales on Stanley Johnson.

Actually, he denied having any children, regardless of race. The jury bought it too.

Do we have a sense of when we'll be able to watch the USA team play?

Main Event · Post by **Main Event** » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:47 pm

Games are the 20th-24th. If I remember correctly the championship game was on an ESPN network last year, probably will be again this year

The games I care most about aren't listed on that schedule.

and jinxing it now.

we'll be as good or better than last year, but undefeated just ain't happening. with games like we have in maui (1-2 toughish games), @unlv, gonzaga, michigan, @utah, @colorado, @washington, ucla, @oregon, @stanford, etc... we won't be undefeated. i think we'll lose 2 of the games in that 11 games i listed there, plus there's always that 1 head scratcher a season (a home loss to a cal or road loss to asu or something crazy)

Olsondogg · Post by **Olsondogg** » Wed Jun 11, 2014 8:57 pm

Jinxes are for pussies. Seriously.

Main Event · Post by **Main Event** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 10:39 am

Most prospect-loaded teams in CBB

4. Arizona Wildcats
Sean Miller and the Wildcats lost lottery pick Aaron Gordon and also saw Nick Johnson depart, but there will still be plenty of NBA-caliber talent in Tucson this season. Freshman Stanley Johnson is a likely one-and-done, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson could become a lottery pick and both Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski have a chance to go in the first round. There's also the wild card of 7-foot Serbian freshman Dusan Ristic.

I agree with ODogg. I don't see a loss with what we have. Unreasonable, yes, unexpected, not for at least two of us.

I don't either, but nobody saw Adam Spanich before he did what he did in '98.

There always seems to be some provincial corner of the Pac-12, and an off-night. No matter whether you're Stanford, UCLA or the Cats. I more want that Pac-12 tournament title than anything. F- Larry Scott.
