Lloyd has got to get his players to play D…..he has to find 2 starters that want to play D and 2 bench players that can come in and play D and want to score around the basket
I will see you there, or I will see you on another time

The whole second half of the season was the guys taking certain nights off. This team wasn't going very far anyways.

Arizona scored 6 points over the last eleven minutes.

Our guards seriously can't do anything

Only Henderson and Larsson want to play D, and Larsson gets out of control too much and gets too many fouls.

Terrible end to a great season.

We lost 3 of the top 33 picks in the draft including one of the league's best rookies and won 28 games and the Pac-12 tournament. That's pretty impressive.

Today hurts but big picture another really solid year.

Like Boswell? Because I don’t think he played those last 5 minutes.

-2 on rebounds. -5 on blocks. -2 on turnovers. And couldn't hit crap from the outside. That's a recipe for a loss in any game. Princeton wanted it more, and it showed. We played down to competition all year, and had zero killer instinct. Deserve to lose today.

Sorry, I’m embarrassed right now. Recruit some dogs instead of puppies. More fear than fight coming down the stretch.

Absolutely, Boswell was one of the few that actually looked like he was playing basketball

Give me some tough as shit, Kevin "No easy buckets" Parrom any day. We let bleeping Princeton get whatever they wanted at the rim. Needed a guy to step up and knock a guy into the first row. Parrom was that kind of guy. This team was too soft.

After 2 600 calories halves on the elliptical I feel like I did my part for the team and the game. I'm not gonna read the preceding 5 pages of posts but I have to ask y'all: is losing to Princeton in the 1st round equal to Couging it at McKale this year?

Bobby Hurley still playing, Tommy Lloyd isn't. Let that one sink in for a minute.

Astute observation! A player like Parrom didn’t care about accolades; he wanted to be able to show the blood on his jersey after a game. We do need some dogs!

Bobby Hurley hasn't won a real game yet.

That was painful to watch. Players looked like they were completely lost at times, and for long stretches.dumbfounded that Boswell wasn't in toward the end. He was shooting the best of the guards. Very disappointing, but I do remember some of Lute's painful early exits, so this, too, will pass. Probably like a painful kidney stone, but it WILL pass.

Princeton just became the 11th 15 seed to advance. The tournament started in 1939. Was this equal to the WSU loss at McKale? Not even close!

Love you guys,

I'm out for a bit.

I hate this feeling I have this morning. Unfortunately, I have felt it before.

I commiserate with all you guys...
