Pathetic that some UA fans think that that is all that matters

I love it that the opinions of strangers on the internet hurt you so deeply. Maybe go outside for a while my man.

He can't. He's too busy winning bets, donating it all to the athletic program, and fighting for teenage recruits honor against Mike Luke and his army of tRoLls.

Damn someone is super in love with me

This is way beyond a UA fan problem. The focus of the entire college basketball season is the NCAA tournament. It has been this way for a long time. The entire season is focused on getting you ready for the tournament. All we hear from the talking heads during the season is Final Four, Championship contenders, seeding and bubble talk. The tournament defines your season like it or not.

I agree but for UA the regular seasons and MTE and PAC-12 tournaments have been there and should be enjoyed and celebrated. Sad some can't do that

Your power of assumption is unrivaled.

We all enjoy the success the cats provide us in the regular season but minimizing the poor results in the NCAA tournament is simply a misdirection.

Let me know when the program stops making the FF as it’s #1 goal so we can simply say that first round tournament gane is the icing on the cake

Holy crap this is stupid.

Enjoying the regular season and being disappointed in post season are not mutually exclusive.

APOLOGIZE TO THE COLLECTIVE!!

I think he needs to stick to pickle ball.

Former UA Point Guard Matt Othick weighs in on CTL

Is he done with the site or is he staying to see all of the responses?

Matt replied to one of my posts on FB yesterday, so glad to see he is still being involved.

Matt is an awesome dude. Make sure to swing by his pizza place next time you're all in SD.

I had no idea, I used to go to SD all the time. Not sure if I should wear my UA hoodie or not, don't want to be thought a Zonie,

Looks like he has two, any recommendation?

Just make sure he hands you the pizza instead of tossing it at your feet

That’s actually pretty good there…

Looking at the number of players that the UA has contacted in the 2025 class it appears that CTL may have changed his recruiting strategy by casting a wider net.

It remains to be seen if he follows up with offers, however.

Those are pretty impressive stats. He should really help out NAU this year if he can keep that up.

Was he at Grand Canyon last year?

No, 2 years ago

Congrats Tommy and Wildcat Nation HUGE WIN!

Episode 421 - Arizona's Tommy Lloyd
College Hoops Today with Jon Rothstein

Arizona's Tommy Lloyd gives us his thoughts on the Wildcats' first five games. Is he surprised by how in sync they've been with so many new players? Discussing the big win at Duke. Why he loves the balance of this year's team. Finding balance with Love. Why he enjoys the challenge of the non-conference schedule. Previewing their matchup with Michigan State. And why you don't get bitter, you get better! Plus, Jon's giving thanks for the amazing spread of college basketball games this week! And is this the best Maui Invitational field ever?

Tommy is just wired different. He does not have an aversion to losing a game if he thinks it will pay off at some point. He always talks highly of players even when they struggle. He is a great representative for our program.

.... and these are all "his kind of guys"

Tomey quit after losing to ASU.

Tommy sure as hell won’t do that.

Those refs were soft as baby shit.

It was their birthday gift.

Tommy wasn't even talking to the ref when he got T'd

That was some serious soft shit from that ref

I think that Tommy intentionally provoked that Technical - he re-approached the refs and scoring table. He probably didn't say any of the magic words, but he'd already been in their face, and definitely pushed the limits.

And, they actually deserved a Bob Knight-level temper tantrum after that foul call on Boswell - a "no call" would have angering, but tolerable, as the 'Bama player fell on Boswell who did not make direct contact!!

And, taking the Tech communicated "this is a battle!!!"

The refs were atrocious - just ruined the flow of the game. At least during the Purdue game they let them play.

He had to get his first at some point but that was a laughable T.

I guess "Aw Shucks!" sounded like "Get Fucked!" with all the crowd background noise.

It appeared to me that he turned and said something to someone at the scorers’ table but I figured whatever he said was for the ref’s ears, not someone at the table.

He said in his press conference that he was T’d up for looking toward the head of officiating who was apparently in the crowd a row or two up.

Good article with some interesting stats.

Scheer just announced that there's an emergency ABOR meeting for Brennan's contract as well as Tommy's new extension through 2028.

Edit: Apparently Tommy's extension was just removed from the ABOR website, so it's not being discussed. lol what a clown show.

We're going to fuck around and lose another coach. We are a shit hole when it comes to having courage to approach ABOR. They have lost confidence in Robbins so it is only going to get worse.

Oh shit. Not this again.

Not worried.
