I’m curious to see how bad Tommy wants to play Henri and Krivas together. It might mean that Awaka is the odd man out (which with how much he sat at the end of critical games, the writing may already be on the wall). And with Peat coming in and Bryant maybe coming back and able to slide to the ...

SabinoDrifter

The common foul on Henri and the last minute of the first half and first five of the second half were a killer. Basically had to play four guards most of the second half

Duke is really good. They've lost one game since November 26 and are winning by an average of 22.3 points. They have one win by three point or less, so it will be interesting to see how they respond in a close game. And the last player they want to see is Caleb Love, so let's hope we get the Caleb ...

Start 'em!

Yeah - this five man group is awesome to watch. The ball movement, athleticism, slashing ability, and three point shooting is something else.

Certainly not right now. Three A games according to KenPom and three losses.

SabinoDrifter

They’re 314th in 3 point shooting, which is a major concern without a major force inside like Ballo. This isn’t a very good team right now and not sure their ceiling is anything other than a marginal top 25 team.

I don’t post often in the football forum, but Scheer is so bad during these games. He doesn’t understand college football

I don't know why pundits keep thinking the seniors may come back. They all participated in the senior day ceremonies and I don't recall anyone ever coming back after participating.

The nice thing about going overseas, besides going overseas, is that you don't have to attend classes. Ballo even ...

SabinoDrifter

Guards, bad luck, and a weak conference.

Tommy has done an amazing job cleaning up after the CSM fiasco. His teams seem akin to the early Few teams at Gonzaga, tons of wins, March heartbreak. It took them awhile to get to the F4 and I’m confident Tommy can get this program back to the big stage ...

SabinoDrifter

I know Scheer can be annoying, but this is spot on.

Love, Boswell, Larsson all played like complete shitheads. Love and Larsson is inexcusable considering the flow of the game and the fact they couldn't stop Ballo.

SabinoDrifter

I like discussions based on objective marketing data and our national brand’s fit within it, rather than feelings.

Seems like the people who won’t acknowledge the benefits of being on a national platform are just still pissed at ESPN for the Sean Miller/Deandre Ayton bullshit, which I ...

Washington has home games with Michigan, USC, UCLA and goes to Oregon, Iowa, and Penn State. Good fucking luck.

This is actually something I know a bit about, so here is my opinion.

The Auditor General issued the audited financial statements for the University on October 10.

I know it's not an apples-to-apples since Arizona Stadium is much smaller, but Penn State got 106,626 for a noon kickoff against Central Michigan and Arizona drew 36K for their conference opener. The B1G or SEC isn't going to pay attention to Arizona.

Yep, he played Lloyd

Still it is never time to worry until the roster is set.

But definitely can ...

Do you just keep making the same post over and over again using different words so people pay attention?

SabinoDrifter

This is a real kick in the nuts, but some level of rebuilding was going to be inevitable. The upside with Boswell running the point is much higher than Kerr at this point in their careers and Kerr at the 2 was never going to happen.

SabinoDrifter

Bal just announced he's leaving.

It's like rats running from a sinking ship. I expect Tubelis to declare (if he's smart) and possibly more transfers. Next year is going to be rough. Could Boswell bolt? His demeanor during the Princeton post game presser made me wonder. Tommy won't have ...

SabinoDrifter

Not surprised and my guess is Tommy would not have given him guarantees on minutes as the 2. Streaky player and really is the same player he was as a freshman.

SabinoDrifter

Battle getting dismissed by a lame duck head coach is a bad sign.

SabinoDrifter

Thanks, that is pretty sobering.

I would take Kerr over almost all those people above him. Stats don't tell the whole story and only casuals rely on stats

Got it, casuals rely on stats. The eye test shows a team that was top 10 in offensive efficiency all season sitting at home after ...

Just a recap of how our seven rotation players rated for the the entire regular season according to Real GM - "qualified players" only:
C Oumar Ballo: #3 of 12 in the Pac-12; #52 of 390 nationally.
PF Azoulas Tubelis: #1 of 18 in the Pac-12; #7 of 498 nationally.
SF Pelle Larsson: #5 of 17 in the ...

SabinoDrifter

Pretty fair summary.

SabinoDrifter

Tommy didn't make adjustments when Princeton made their second half run. He needs to own that and have a quicker trigger. I've been wanting Boswell to get more minutes since the beginning of conference play and feel like Tommy was too quick to pull Boswell after a bad play or two.

SabinoDrifter

There's not a lot of pressure when you win 33 and 28 games in your first two seasons after the Miller / Book fallout. He has been a little less than subtle with his postgame comments this year and they didn't respond.

Brendan Haywood said it during the Northwestern-Boise game - Arizona lost that ...

Here are the possessions in the first half when they went up 31-22:

Azuolas Tubelis Turnover.
Azuolas Tubelis missed Layup.
Kerr Kriisa missed Three Point Jumper.

Henri Veesaar missed Free Throw.
Azuolas Tubelis missed Free Throw.

They're little things, but that's two very sloppy turnovers back to back.

Also, if they rematch with UCLA next week, Kerr needs to shoot the fucking ball. He’s trying to do too much against a very good defensive team. Take the open shot.
