I call total BS!

Fans were getting on him and he reacted. Instead of apologizing and taking his medicine, whatever that might be, he makes up a story to try and justify his mistake.

Love the fans laughing and pointing at him as he flips them off. They know they made him lose his cool. Not cool at ...

Your picture proves our point, fuegs.

You do realize some of the basic physics of a jumpshot, correct? If the ball is still directly above the hand/forearm, and the hand has not followed through, the fingers are still touching the ball. It may be blurred, because the hand is in the process of ...

He's a really good coach. Wouldn't trade him for anyone over these years (not even Calipari, and I do like Calipari, who may well have brought us some Final Fours). But as with a marriage, it keeps itching you until the realization can hit you at an unexpected moment, and an unfair and downright ...

Catstatic

Lauri is an absolute stud. Off game tonight, though. It happens. Cats never stopped fighting. Characteristic of a Miller coached team. Just wish someone could have gotten hot tonight.

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

I think we should practice trying to run offense against a zone defense. Teams might play it a little bit against us this year.

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

Looking at the product on the field for the last 2 months, this may have been the worst Arizona team in the last 50 years, and they completely steamrolled ASU. I did not think that was possible. That may have been the best, most unexpected a$$-kicking Graham has ever received!

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

We just need to recruit a few more 230 lb. defensive linemen and a couple more all world linebackers who somehow can't crack the 2 deep and we are there! We're closer than many of you realize.

Go Cats!!

Kid has a great head on his shoulders which makes this even more depressing. Heart goes out to the kid

Yes and no. If I remember correctly, he never had any injury issues until his knee went his senior year. Then the other last year. Now this. Simply astonishing and very disheartening.

On the ...

Catstatic

Looks to me like he finishes everything around the rim with his left, but he shoots jumpers with his right. He might be ambidextrous. Not sure I've seen that before.

Welcome to the Cat family, Mr. Lee!

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

Promote Yates and let him learn on the job. We keep going with established coaches. Not working out so well!

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

Are you not entertained?

Wow! Um, no.

Go Cats!!

Has RR ever platooned running backs? Watching Kadeem run the ball 40+ times in a game had me shaking my head. I don't care how young and in shape you are. The human body is not made for that kind of punishment. Thought the same with Wilson. Here's hoping Green gets to see a lot of PT once Wilson ...

Catstatic

But it's not just one game. We have been hearing hype about this kid for a very long time, and now we know what all the hype was about. Taylor is absolutely for real. Here is hoping that when Wilson comes back they will split time between these two. Taylor has to get in the game and Wilson has to ...

Catstatic

I think our chances improve if:

1) Team gets the wake-up call one hour earlier prior to games. Two of the worst first halves of football I can recall. Mackovicesque.

2) Occasionally let Dawkins play for Solomon: Maybe 1/3 of the game? His ability to run does open up the offense a bit. He will get ...

Catstatic

Prob Wed on signing day

Thanks! Allen and Trier breaking down defenses and dishing to Terrance ... not to mention Chance and Ray crashing the weak side for a rebound. This will be an incredibly athletic team. Bring in some of that Eastern nastiness and this group might surprise in a good way! LM ...

When will we know? Inquiring minds want to know ...

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

The kid is special. Hia ability to drive to his weak side (left) is astonishing. Honestly don't know if I have ever seen a kid his age and size with his handles. It is going to be a pleasure for some collegiate fan base to have him for a year. Go Cats!!

Catstatic

I am happy that 97 is laughing.

3 7 footers in the rotation and we somehow have a short team next year? Ok...

Last year we had 3 7 footers and a 6'8 guy in Anderson a long with a bunch of undersized wings and point guards. We're adding another 7 footer a 6'6 point guard, a 6'4-6'5 wing, bringing a 6'8 guy back from an injury and ...

Catstatic

Anyone else the slightest bit concerned about our lack of size next year? Not necessarily compared to other teams, but definitely compared with Miller's previous teams here at Arizona.

DR, CC and LM is it as far as I can see. Will Ray Smith get some extended time at the "4"?

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

Wouldn't be surprised at all to see more and more recruits from the NE. Recently, there is only one guy from the Pacific time zone that played with the heart of TJ, Zeus and RHJ (all NE guys): Stanley Johnson. The lack of effort we have all seen from many of the California guys, coupled with the AAU ...

Catstatic

Getting back to this team, if AT is actually leaving after the tournament, he joins Zeus, Anderson, Tolly and York. Lots of guys trying to impress future employers. Help with the concentration issues or stress them out so they play worse? Here's hoping it kicks in their concentration and they play ...

Catstatic

UCLA always shows up for 4 games every year: the two against Arizona and two other random games. If we meet them in the Pac tournament, make it 5 games every year. What makes us so special?

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

Pac is much better than people realize. Big 12, as usual, will be exposed in the tournament. SEC simply sucks. ACC? Wouldn't be surprised if the champion doesn't come from that conference once again.

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

1. We're not that good and we still almost beat them.

Or, perhaps, the Ducks are that good, and we almost beat them, (with Anderson playing horribly!). If that's the case it means we are good enough to get to a FF as well. Until proven otherwise, I'm going with this interpretation.

Go Cats!!

Sean Miller is one of the top coaches in the country, and everybody knows it. If Horne's shot goes 2 inches further, we're in the Final Four instead of eventual champ Connecticut. If the official doesn't call an astonishing offensive foul on NJ against Wisconsin, who knows how that last possession ...

Catstatic

Personally it feels like the only shreds of negativity about this hire are because we were all hoping to get Big Joe.

Completely agree. Must have been some interest from him or Arizona would have moved on and announced a hire much sooner, especially if it was Avey. Joe would have been my favorite ...

Catstatic

Our recruiting under CSM is incredible . And I honestly don't think getting Rawle and Jackson is out of the question.

Yeah, very possible...maybe even highly probable. It's fun to watch Miller's magic in play. 8-)

No, no, no! Don't you remember when Leaf decommitted that Miller had completely ...

Catstatic

If Alkins ends up here I would perceive it to be more of a sign that Trier is leaving that that JJ isn't coming.

BTW... Lauri, Kobi, Rawle, and Josh would be (on paper) the best recruiting class in school history , and I am not sure that's even debatable.

Throw in Ray Smith finally getting to ...

Is it too early to start? "Best Damn Recruiting Class the Devils have ever brought in ... Did you hear what I said? Best ever!"

One of my teenage sons told me to "chill out" the other day when I raised my voice to him. I had to take about 5 seconds to collect myself, invite him into the office away from the rest of the family, and laid into him big time. No way Miller could have dealt with that issue in a private way, unless ...

Catstatic

Allen should be the guy with the ball in his hands for the last shot. He gets to the rim much better than anyone else (other than Trier). He can also get it to the open man if he gets doubled. Could be York from 3.

Tough games get us ready for the tournament. I think we will have a lot of them in ...

From Greg Byrne's weekly email yesterday:

If you recall from the summer, we discussed our process for hiring head coaches, but the process of hiring assistant coaches is a bit different. While I’m obviously active in the process of hiring a head coach, I prefer to leave the hiring of assistant ...

If it comes to OSU vs. Arizona, this is all you have to say: Aaron Craft vs. TJ McConnell. Everyone said TJ was a poor man's Aaron Craft. Kinda turned out to be the other way around, didn't it? TJ is in the league (mostly because of the immense defense Miller demands of his players), and Aaron has ...

Catstatic

Miller was furious with the defensive effort (or lack thereof) in the radio post-game interview. The talent is just not there this year to play defense at a level that we have seen the past few years.

Agreed. We had absolute freak defensive players in Gordon, NJ, SJ and RHJ. TJ was an absolute ...

Catstatic

We get someone who can get us into the top 50 defenses in the country, and this team could be dangerous. Is it too soon to hope?

Go Cats!!

Remember when Miles Simon had to sit out half the year, and as a result JT got tons of run? Then Simon returns and we've got a team that goes 8 deep with a lot of versatility and experience. Took out 3 #1's in the tourney.

Ristic and Comanche will get much more time because of Zeus's injury. When ...

After Sean Miller interviewed with and turned down Maryland (his previously admitted dream job), afterwards he said basically he was all in with Arizona and this is the place he wanted to be for a long time.

If it's not RR at ntUSC, he is going to have to have a to make similar type of statement ...

Catstatic

If you want to pay off your mortgage, UCLA is just a 5.5 point underdog vs Kentucky

Oh. My. Goodness!!!

Bug, for the first time in years I was tempted to bet on this game. Your post got me thinking, "No mortgage has a nice ring to it." I would have REALLY hated UCLA if I had. :lol:

Thank you ...

Catstatic

If RR leaves I've got two words for all of you: therapy.

Actually, the two words: Chip Kelly. NFL isn't for him. Come back to the Pac and dominate once again. No way his brand of football will fly in the SEC or Big 10, but would be perfect at Arizona. Byrne does not play!

Go Cats!!

Catstatic

Angle could be ntSC camp leaked the Rich Rod story as a weather balloon. See what the response to it there is. Just guessing. Still means RR interested in the job. And I don't think it was the only job this year he was interested in. Be interesting to know how much lead time if any Byrne had to the ...

Catstatic

Athletic wings will be this team's greatest defensive issue. Simon has the most potential from a defensive perspective, but he is the most raw offensively. We shall see if he gets more or less PT as the season moves along.

This team will get better and better defensively. We have lots of guys who ...

Catstatic

Until RR proves the 3-3-5 can consistently work against power teams (It is hit and miss. Does well against Utah and SC, not so much against Stanford and UCLA.) I do not believe there is any chance he is offered even a lateral move to either the SEC or the Big 10. He has said he was frustrated by not ...

Catstatic

Who was criticizing RR after last season? No one. Who would want Toad over RR after last season? No one. So now, after unprecedented injuries to our entire LB group, and having to sit Anu against UCLA, Stanford and ASU, Graham is somehow a better coach? Fine. People who are only driven by overall ...

Catstatic

Said it in the game thread. Dawkins showed a ton of heart. That was an impossible situation he was thrown into. He had 3 huge miscues (the two pick 6's and the Matt Scottesque leap for a fumble), but a lot of that was understandable. He had a free rusher coming at him at nearly every single play ...

That's just incompetence. And if it should be unnecessary roughness, how is the slide being 'late' relevant? Is that some sort of backhanded justification for not getting the targeting call?

Yep. You you can see teams making the adjustments on TJ now, which they can afford to do because his teammates are so bad/behind. Cut the head off the snake.

In the last four games, outside of the Thunder, TJ has played three top defenses, San Antonio (2), Dallas (8), and Indiana (5):
