Sean Miller

I loved Momo, he was exactly the player we needed on that team, but I hope we never have another PG that takes 18 shots and has 1 assist in a game

To be fair it was a Double OT game.

You can win like that. Kemba Walker had 19 shots and 0 assists when Uconn won the national title.

I agree it isn't ideal. You need a certain composition of your team to do that.

Lamont Jones was the anti-Miller. Will never be another one like him as long as he's coach.

But beggars couldn't be choosers.

I thought Kadeem Allen would be another Momo Jones/Mark Lyons but glad to see that Miller set him straight. His 4/1.7 A/TO ratio isn't too shabby.

curious to your answer, but what was Mark Lyons to you?

Yeah, good point. Lyons was "Damn, Josiah didn't work out!"

Miller is in a more selective position now.

We are averaging something like 78 points/game on the year.

Could've been 26-0, but 14 second-half turnovers.

7th in scoring in conference. First in defense, by 5 ppg. So, not the defense WE are used to, but still the best.

We're 11th in made threes and 11th in percentage. Only ASU shoots it worse. That game is going to be war in the paint. Slashing and boarding.

Of course, the true comparisons will come when the teams play each other.

NOTE: Last year we led the conference in scoring, at 76.6. This year, we're scoring more (with more turnovers), but scoring is up overall. Rule changes are working.

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Sun Dec 20, 2015 10:51 am

Yeah scoring already seems to be up nationwide.

This has nothing to do with Sean Miller, but we currently live in a world where Tony Bennett is the coach of the team with the #1 efficient offense in the nation. I expect the four horsemen of the apocalypse to attack any moment now.

Not only that, but their 2pt Defense % has been downright awful.

See you guys on the other side.....

Keep thinking about Miller and his conversation with Allen about redshirting last year. What a great call and both of them are to be commended

He's so freaking aggressive going to the rim. Love seeing that. If he can keep the unforced turnovers down, he's going to be a huge force, especially when we can't get a basket, he's really good at initiating contact and either finishing or getting to the FT line. Definitely a great call.

Despite all clear evidence to the contrary, I do remain strangely unconvinced.

Alieberman wrote:I had no idea Longhorned wanted kids. You should have mentioned something... I would have given you mine.

Wasn't me - she vehemently didn't want kids, until she turned 30 and vehemently wanted kids.

azcat49 wrote:Keep thinking about Miller and his conversation with Allen about redshirting last year. What a great call and both of them are to be commended

I think Allen needed that redshirt for academic reasons, which don't necessarily reflect concerns about his ability or effort level in the classroom, but Miller addressed with a redshirt because he's running a first-class program in the interests of his players as student-athletes. There's good reason to suspect that the UNC situation isn't limited to UNC, but that's not how things are run in Miller's program. As far as basketball goes, Allen would have been ready last year and I think PJC would have made more sense for the redshirt.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 10:58 am

Interesting LH on Allen re academics. Great call by Miller and Allen has been by far the biggest surprise to me. Not many JUCO POY's probably would accept a RS but Miller does have a way of getting his point accross to kids

definitely. too hard right now to benchmark ourselves vs. the rest of the pac, given our soft nonconf schedule (and injuries). kenpom + daily rpi SOS are in the high 200s right now. we'll know soon enough, though. can't wait for conference play to begin.

also, belated congrats to the 'hornses

Nice acknowledgment of Coach Miller's early success this season. Crazy that we're nearly undefeated and haven't had Zeus for most of the season.

Going forward, the Pac looks much, much stronger than last season. Road wins will be hard to come by, even against the league's lower tier. Of the Pac teams I've seen, Cal, UCLA, Utah, and AZ have looked the best. These four will finish 1-4. No idea about the order.

We are going to be fine.
