Oregon, Colorado, Cal, Utah all in the top 4 of the conference. All loses.

Thankfully the game against Cal is at McKale. What a disappointing season this has been.

Well 3 of those were on the road, hopefully we get Cal in what is trending to be a very important game. Might be for 4th place and a bye in the tourney.

I disagree that this has been a disappointing season. We lost all but one starter from last year, got caught by the injury bug, and faced a greatly improved conference. Given all that, I think our record is satisfactory.

Absolutely!. Yeah, I think everyone is disappointed that we haven't done better. But given the injuries and replacing 4 starters, I can't be disappointed in the team or in CSM. They are fighters, just don't have the horsepower (or the guard play) to get over the hump at times.

This has not been a disappointing season. 2011-12 was a disappointing season.

Oh and fun fact of the day: Season isn't over yet.

A team that loses TJ, Rondae, Stanley and Brandon should not be competitive to win the PAC

This year is not a disappointment

We are a point guard away from being the best team in the PAC..... That's a pretty good place to be in a rebuilding year

The only dissapointing things have been the numerous close, gut wrenching road losses this year. Watching us fall short over and over in these big road games. And the dissapointment of knowing this team, yes in a down year, is still capable of so much more and just cant seen to take that next step. And the lack of effort, focus, whatever you want to call it for most of many games. But maybe replace dissapointing with frustrating, probably the better adjective if u take a step back and look at the totality of it all.

So what's your most satisfying win this year? For me its UW, i guess, who wot even make the tournament, again. It's now what 2-5 against top 50 rpi teams this year? Az was picked to win the league and is now 0-4 against the top 4 teams.

I understand the season isn't over, and the regular season "doesn't matter" to most but geeze would it hurt to beat one quality team away from McKale.

Next year? Let's focus on this year. Unless you want to talk about who's going to play PG and post defense, I suggest we not.

Back to bashing Gabe York, seems like the popular thing to do among UofA fans.

Yep, TJ spoiled us. PJC has regressed, especially away from home. Kadeem Allen is really just another Momo Jones and Mark Lyons, a 2G trying to play as a combo. I never expected much from Allen, JC is just a whole different level.

Won't miss York at all. His hero balling has really soured me on him. That attempt by Miller to try York at PG failed, as he was picked his first trip down the court.

I have a feeling he will be penciled in as the starter the moment he gets on campus.

Justin Simon hopefully will make that famous freshman to sophomore leap, and get time at PG.

Doubt Trier will be back, but he has really good court vision and the best handles on the team.

Or...

If either of the above lineups come to fruition, we're Pac champs again next year.

Looking at Simmons highlight tapes I see a lot of Justin Simon in him (meaning he's more of a 2G or small forward, not a true PG)

Alkins
Simmons

To already be talking about next season when you have qualified for the tournament basically and its February seems ridiculous to me.

The real season hasn't even started yet

While it is probably next to impossible, this team could still string 4 wins together and make a final four. Chances are slim but in the tourney anything can happen. Its not like we have been getting blown out on the road either all our losses have been pretty close. We make a Final Four, man no one will remember this game.

Remember too in the tournament, you don't have to play road games in a hostile environment

Now good chance we flame out in the tourney but until that happens, why already be moving on to next year???

Remember a little year called 1997....

At least this 2015-2016 team hasn't lost to ASU twice like TJ's teams.

I thought Mark Lyons was pretty awesome, he got us marquee victories and we were this close to another EE if it wasn't whats his butts fault for blowing his defensive rotation.

I heard Waltonsay in the first half that PJC was "sick" with "flu", and that it affected his game in Boulder and again today...

... any (dis)confirmation of that report?

Most of us were liking PJC's game a week ago - I think folks are being a bit fickle around here....

Thats how I feel right now and this team gets lumped with the 2012 team for me too. Which is crazy, because a month ago or so, it was the complete opposite. And the first round loss isnt what changed it, it was how and why we lost that game, things that have been problems all year that didnt improve at all. Hard to like or remember a team that seemingly does not care or gives up

Except Zeus....he will have a good / respectable NBA career IMHO....this team was very disappointing and I still can't believe how pathetic the first round flameout was.....BUT we all knew it was possible with how this team often was incapable of playing two halves of good bball.....how many times wa this mentioned by CSM?

I was really concerned during the P12 tourney when we let Rado back in the game during the second half......well, it could have been worse I guess but we have a lot of work to do to get back on track.....starting with getting some 'Arizona Good' guard play.

So depressing......I knew this team wasn't very strong mentally but would have accepted a second round loss and been elated with a sweet 16.....at least a bunch of other teams have sucked in the tourney too.....just need KU, Oregon, and Utah to fall short of the FF and that would take some of the pain away.

As fun as the tourney is.....it can be really miserable if you flameout in the first round because you didn't show up to play :-(
