Yes, but I'll just jinx him.

I'm rooting for UCLA now. PAC needs to go out on a high note before it dissolves.

Big Sean Miller fan, and a big fan of Xavier for welcoming him back with open arms.

You're going to hell. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

Looks like Xavier is playing pucker up ball against Kennesaw St. Pucker up your asses because Sean Miller is ready to breathe some fire into you.

Just from a financial standpoint the UA stands to benefit as the PAC splits the pot evenly after expenses, which I think is normally a share.

EDIT: Still can't root for ASU though, although them winning would obviously benefit the UA too.

He did. Said he spent a lot of time studying the game with Archie and learned a lot. After all, he was paid by Arizona and had lots of time.

Being a college bball coach is a 60 hour work week all year round and you really don't have time.

Interesting info….

Miller was much more liberal in his offensive schemes when he started at Arizona and had D Williams and then put the clamps on the offense in subsequent seasons. It drove me nuts that our guards were constantly checking with Miller to see the play call from the sidelines.

It would be wild to have players like Gordon, Kaleb and Nick on a LLoyd coached team-3 guys that liked to run AND play D!
I will see you there, or I will see you on another time
