I wonder when we will again see AZ play their best ball in the NCAA tournament. Can anyone remember the last time that genuinely happened? Even in some of our wins in recent years, we've just barely pulled out some of those games, after playing terribly for long stretches.

So many Olson teams, Miller teams.

I know it's March, and these games are high-pressure, strange situations. But ffs, are there no other TJ McConnells? Miles Simons? Tubelis looks like a deer in headlights every time he gets the ball or has to guard the post, and he's supposed to be our best player.

usually, we'd be confident that the wear-down would kick in with the other team and we'd pull away, but our guys look kinda sluggish. do they know it's the ncaa tournament?

When was the last time Arizona actually looked like it was a top 10 team?

Indiana? (First UCLA game was awful all around)

When your guards and wings don’t put up points, it’s tough to win.

8 combined points from non interior players at half is a joke.

Krissa had another stellar half - he made a basket and handed out an assist.

We need someone to start punishing them from the perimeter to open up the interior. Bring Bal in or let Boswell cook.

We definitely need some offense from Pelle. His defense sucked in the first half, too.

And the crazy thing is that sometimes, not often but sometimes, Ramey or Kriisa catches fire from 3. It just doesn't happen at the biggest moments.

Also, remember when Larsson was expected to be our best player this year? Those were the days.

This team completely lacks the killer instinct and the knockout punch

Even thinking back to games like Creighton and Indiana, they couldn't completely pull away and both teams made runs to get it close

No need to single out Kerr.

Not one single Arizona player played a good half of basketball

Princeton is out-scoring Arizona 24-16 IN THE PAINT!!! WTF!!!

If there was a stat for number of times falling to the ground Ballo would set the UA record.
