re: recruiting don't forget josh selby or even brandon jennings. you could also throw jeff withey and zach peters into the mix if you count those as "recruiting" battles, as well as players that both programs went after and neither landed - like shabazz muhammad, justise winslow, lebryan nash, myle...

I've stated many times why I dislike Arizona and post here. If you don't mind, refresh my memory. 1997 My 14 year old said something disturbing to me before the Arizona vs Wisconsin game. He says, dad, now that Kansas isn't in the tournament anymore, it would be kind of cool if an Arizona team won ...

UofACat23

The only players you should care about are the ones that chose Arizona over Kansas (and vice versa for Arizona fans), why would you possibly care if Kansas beat out Arizona, or if both teams recruited a player that chose another team like Kentucky? They simply do not have a rivalry in recruiting or ...

Just for fun, I looked at the Scout database for every Arizona commit since Sean Miller has been here, if Kansas was listed as "interested" I found the commitment article to see who they chose Arizona over, here is the results: Leaf: Kansas not involved Comanche: Kansas not involved Smith: Kansas no...

When you are a 1 seed or 2 seed you are going to lose to lower seeds or you're going to win the title. Who wins the title every year? See there you go again.

2 years in a row and 5 of 11 years for Bill Self to not even make it out of the first weekend. Wow. The Chip and other final 4 definitely help, but for a premier program and coach, that's pretty bad.

Did you know that Kansas has now lost 3 times in the Round of 32 since 2010 (all 3 times as a 1 or 2 seed)?

UofACat23

Prior to this game, Self has lost to: #9, #10, #11, #13, and #14 in the tournament. So, losing to #7 in the round of 32 doesn't even make the top 5 of Self's most disappointing losses. What are the chances that enfuego posts before Arizona's next loss? Probably about as good as Kansas ever schedulin...

UofACat23

Why do people even respond to him? Don't allow him to have his high watching you get uptight Personally I think it's hilarious to watch enfuego get more an more excited about his team before the inevitable Kansas choke. The more he gloats, the harder the eventual fall, so I say keep taking the bait.

If every team always played their very best, Arizona would be one of the top 4 teams in the country. Obviously Arizona doesn't always play their very best (no team does), but Arizona's "average" game is still a top 15 team. When Arizona plays poorly, they're not very good (shocker I know) and "bad" ...

I think Arizona can easily make the Final Four with Kaleb not getting a single offensive rebound. Kaleb is a good defensive player and a poor offensive player that occasionally has a good offensive game. I think that's good enough. This is college, you don't need every starter to be great and we hav...

UofACat23

You don't understand what I'm saying, rg. The loss wasn't about Gordon's defense: If Tarczewski has even one more rebound that game, we win. Kaminsky backed Zeus down and brutalized him on the blocks. Whether or not Ashley was injured, in a one-point overtime game, is quite beside the point when yo...

Look, if I've simply got the wrong idea about what our expectations should be, that's fine.

Encore is awesome, a little pricey but a double can easy fit up to 6 people.

This might sound crazy... but I don't think it's possible to make any broad generalizations about people and how they think based solely on their gender.

UofACat23

The actual numbers are even more interesting than the rankings:

2015 Adj O: 115 v. 2014 Adj O:114.7
2015 Adj D: 86.9 v. 2014 Adj D: 88.5

So they've improved overall in both categories, and surprisingly, the bigger improvement is in Adj D.

The best part about Stanley's game is he rarely forces the issue and he's scoring his points within the offensive system. Yes, sometimes he'll get called for a charge, but the lane is usually open and he should be driving, he just needs to do a better job at avoiding contact.

Best Case Scenario: UA lost because they had their mind on Christmas and didn't play with energy, discipline, or focus.

Yeah, there's some pretty conclusive video that shows he actually reached up through the net and got a finger on the ball.

Agreed, it was really unfortunate when Rondae fouled out, he was the only one of the three capable of keeping his man in front of him.
