So is 2018 looking to be a down year or do we have horses in the stable so to speak to mitgste the losses. Note to self, reread and catch up on 2018 thread... At the moment this is what our 2018-2019 roster will look like pending transfers: PG - Alex Barcello SG - Brandon Randolph, Dylan Smith SF -...

Funny article and then they decide to take a shot at Arizona.

For the most part Arizona teams under Miller have looked looked really, really good in the first two rounds of the tournament. Then outside of Duke 2011, have looked mediocre in the Sweet 16 game and then play fairly well in the Elite 8 game until they run out of gas with a few minutes left. This ye...

I honestly believe that Miller/Arizona learned a little lesson two years ago about taking Xavier lightly.

I would explain the route but then I would just sound like the SNL "Californians" skit (Vista Del Mar to Culver, take Culver to sepelvuda, etc.) But in short, in 9 years of living in LA I've learned that anyone who tries the 405 during rush hour is amateur hour.

Maybe if Don or Banners comes back, but which other fans have come back? RC97? You guys are just posting more, more often and more fervently. The ucla bandwagon is loading up! Maybe traffic somehow won't be as bad at the next home game? Post more and more suddenly coincides with the season starting...

Forecast says 71/Sunny for next Saturday. I say this be the first college basketball gameday they put outside and rub it in to the rest of the country freezing their balls off.

Also I want to see plenty of TJ Leaf/Adidas signs!! Make it happen Arizona!

Kansas and Bill Self deserve a lot of for their player development. By all accounts Mitch Lightfoot & Josh Jackson were well behaved kids when they were Arizona recruits. Kansas in a very short time has been able to develop them into guys who grab the popcorn/watch when a 16 year old girl is getting...

Must be close to getting out of his system if there is much anticipation before the last 2 games.

Not sure if that one reply was sarcastic or not but anyway....

Since I refuse to go that site.....a little birdie told me that Ace is backtracking and Trier will most likely not play tonight.

I hope he doesn't go to the same church as Grant Jerrett.

A 9-man rotation of Dusan, Lauri, Trier, Kadeem, PJC, Simmons, Alkins, Pinder, Chance is as good as it gets. Pinder has probably exceeded all of our expectations. KS and RA are two bench guys (for now) who could be beasts come March. Chance has taken great strides. In KS, RA, and Chance, u have thr...

This kid is awesome and gets it. It sucks that something like this happens to a kid like him but we've had to deal with the Terrance Fergusons and transfers (I'm looking at you Craig Victor & Justin Simon) of the past who just hit the eject button at the first sign of turmoil.

I got confirmation from an insider just now. He is indeed stepping away from basketball for a while, maybe forever. He is looking forward to finishing school and getting his degree from The University of Arizona.

I heard a new one today. It isn't PED related at all. It is an academic issue that will either blow over or end up being very, very bad for the entire basketball program. Sort of like a Jalen Rose /Memphis type situation. ....you mean Derrick? Yes Derrick. Kind of ironic that Ray Smith and Alonzo T...

I actually don't mind not being rated in the Top 10 to start the year. Almost takes the pressure off a little bit. If Trier is all good (knock on wood) then I actually think this team is one of the better/more complete ones in the Miller era. Call me crazy.

UofAlum05

That saves me about $15 a month!! Hell yeah!

Nick as a soph??? Prob not quite. Derrick probably. But he really blew up his soph season. Rondae in terms of NBA prospects no question. Bibby is probably the most talented kid we ever had stay for a second season. We was a top 5 pick if he left after title season. I think the team agreed, ala Noah...

Today must be decision day. Why today? Hoping Trier doesn't claim to be "injured" for Red/Blue :oops: I would think everything would be kept hush hush until after the Red/Blue game. If Trier does not play in that game for any reason, I would suspect some bad news will be imminent. He'll play in tha...

He's such an obsessed, deranged lunatic that he was fired from running Dawgman. He was banning UDub fans left and right for questioning anything he reported.

Nice try Jim. Calling yourself "Sheevsray" and posting on Pac-12 boards. Haha, my GF is mental health doctor in a psych ward. I seriously think he should be committed.

It has been a lot longer than Sevun. This is a bunch of BS.

Well again...IF this is the case, it is a school test or NCAA. If it was Arizona dealing with a test, they are probably discussing a penalty (if any). If it is NCAA, is he allowed to play pending appeal? The reasons he has for going to class are simple, the APR being one of them, but I get the poin...

So IF it is as speculated, the details matter...to put it in basketball terms, involving an "illegal" substance: Three years ago, Michigan basketball player Mitch McGary was suspended for a year for testing positive for marijuana during the NCAA Tournament.

Since you guys are going there, in reference to some of what's been posted above: While the NCAA tests athletes randomly throughout the year, athletes are also subject to testing from their schools. But the thing is, those school testing programs can be designed however the schools want. Some schoo...

UofAlum05

If I'm reading the clues correctly, I'm guessing PEDs hence the reason 97Cats elected to list specific illegal substances versus just saying that it wasn't drug related. NCAA policy stars that a player that tests positive for PEDs is banned from play for 365 days from the date of the test. Appeals ...
