3) Will this decision lead to the potential demise of the ...

Let them keep ranking us low. Heck, drop us out of the top ten. I want this team feeling overlooked and playing with boulder-sized chips on their shoulders all the way to the Final Four

We will always struggle with athletic teams that have good springs. Our bigs don't get high off the floor they just know how to play basketball. That will win us a bunch of games but will give us trouble on the road.

This was the main concern heading into the season, at least for me. The ...

Why didn’t Tommy go full Bobby Hurley on that phantom Zu technical? That was a common basketball PLAY. Not at all a foul and certainly not a tech.

Tommy needs to blow a fucking gasket in that situation in my opinion. We’ll see these refs 8-10 more times. Set that damn tone that you do not fuck ...

Team looked like they had almost no energy. I don’t know what happened to the team that was streaking up and down the court in Maui. They seemed to be running in mud for much of the game.

At the beginning of the season, I told a friend that I wasn’t sure what we had in this team. I thought we would be in the Top 25 and a tourney team; beyond that, I didn’t know. After Maui, I thought Tommy had found something and we were looking at a special season. With the recent performances ...

Choo, a few other sites and recruiting analysts have been indicating some smoke surrounding Evans to Oregon. Is there any fire to that smoke or just wild speculation?

CatFan1399

Love Miller and wish him great success, but NEVER against Arizona! The only time that it MIGHT be acceptable to consider being ok with an Arizona loss is if the loss means nothing to Arizona AND it causes ASWho to miss out on the NCAA Tournament/a bowl game / College World Series / etc.

Wonder how/if this will have any impact on Kwame Evans recruitment. He was thought to be a lean to Oregon for a while. Will this improve or hurt Oregon’s chances?

Is there a timetable for Evans’ commitment?

Soon.

Any feeling about the Cats chances at landing Ramey, Choo? I’m not too familiar with On3. Should their prediction make us confident at all?

Jacob Grandison (Illinois) entered the portal today. 6’6 G/F who shot 47% overall and 41% from 3pt. He’s 24 years old, but I don’t know if he is a grad transfer or not. He’s from Oakland, so maybe he’d be interested in coming out west. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think DT could stand to tighten up his handles a little bit. He was better as a soph, but he sometimes seemed to struggle dribbling in traffic and appeared a little careless at others.

With a super stacked team. That may not happen for a long time, to have that group of players. And they were stacked this year and got beat by a far lesser defensive team than Houston. I've watched tons of basketball and we simply don't cut it defensively.

We have to make serious changes if ...

It stings like hell right now, but this was one heck of a season. Had anyone offered me a 33-4 season with a PAC12 regular season title, a PAC12 tournament championship, and an appearance in the Sweet 16 before this season started, I’d have taken it every day of the week and twice on ...

Heard a TCU media guy on the radio. He basically disparaged the conference saying that Arizona gets everyone’s best shot defensively, but the best PAC12 defense might be average for the Big 12.

Why do we worry about "defensive" teams whose defense isn't as good as ours and whose offense is way below ours?

Are you new to being an Arizona fan? Welcome aboard! This is just how it is. We’re snakebit and would fear a matchup with the Weak Sisters of the Poor School of the Deaf and Blind ...

I hate when officials allow the team that is behind to be extremely physical on inbounds plays. I know it’s good for excitement and ratings, but when the defender makes contact going for the steal, it needs to be called.

I’m glad they’re doing this, but why did they put “KRIISA” on jersey #25? To avoid conflict with Steve Kerr? Regardless, it looks like I’ll be spending some money.

He’s done a much better job picking his spots to attack and knocking down threes when he’s left wide open. His growth over the course of this season has been fun to watch. He’s really become a leader.

Hey how many of you can say Illinois scares you?

They scare me.

As in scare you in the way just about any 4-seed would scare you? Or as in scare you, scare you?

Legit scare me. I’ve been in a miserable mood ever since they came back against the Mocs. Part of it is tournament ghosts ...

Did anyone else think the team played tight today? It didn’t look like they played with the joy that they typically show on the court. Maybe it was nerves from playing in their first tourney game. Hopefully, it’s out of their systems and their ready to ball out on Sunday. BTFD!

Regarding the note that Kerr post is from Marana… I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not practically living with Justin Kokoskie right now. Kokoskie lives in the Marana area. Justin might be literally working on that ankle 24/7.

The sophomoric side of me (which is every side) wants Longwood alive as long as possible. I'll root for Arizona over the dick joke of course but otherwise that's my team.

Don't know why people are scared of Illinois. 4 or so players on Arizona are way better than the first meeting, including Ballo for Kofi matchup. They made 16 3s and lost at home.
