Bear Down Wildcats

Pop McKale

As for the NCAA's, I guess we'll see. You're far more bullish than I am on the league's prospects. There isn't much reason not to be bullish. Aside from Gonzaga and Kansas, the rest of the top 25 has been shaky AF all season, even SDSU and Baylor more recently. Oregon has a guy who is clearly one o...

...and the biggest unaddressed truth: this conference's talent level and performance are actually matching up for once in a long damn time, the league is tough. A record amount of Pac-12 teams will get into the NCAAs and as we have seen so many times, the ESPN/FS1 sweethearts in the ACC/BIG10/Big E...

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/02/sports/ncaabasketball/arizona-sean-miller.html What a pile of crap. He has no proof Miller cancelled because he wouldn’t like the questions. Is he also going to throw shit at any other coach who isn’t able to or doesn’t want to give him an interview? I really wish...

Damon was the ironing freak. Underwear, socks, everything.
JT slept in the uniform and socks.
Salim had a major shoe fetish if memory serves, and was OCD about how they were arranged in the closet, etc.

It'll definitely get good ratings again, that's sure. This said, the respective Game 7's in the Conference Finals were a joke and hopefully not a harbinger of how the NBA will continue to look going forward post-LeBron -- a bunch of teams trying to channel the Warriors but basically fielding squads ...

I really don't get why Brown wouldn't take his last official visit with Arizona, given that we're in his final three. Logically that doesn't make a ton of sense to me... and unlike Cal, who he also hasn't taken an official visit to, we're not in his backyard - he could use the Zona sponsored offici...

Parker Jackson-Cartwright will go down as one of the worst starting players at Arizona in the modern era -- that includes the few transition years between Lute Olson and Sean Miller where the talent and depth was thin. Kobi Simmons never wanted to be at AZ, his issue was in that space, not because ...

Lame. A Top 3? Why? EDIT: I see Newport and I are of the same mind here. Attention. Right. Between the timing of his decommit announcement and now this, I’m less and less enamored with this kid. Don’t fault him for having second thoughts after all that’s been but it’s been pretty clear for a while ...

No one can recruit to us right now. If anyone can, it is this guy. I don't agree with that at all. I think if we ended up with a new coach he'd have a much easier time recruiting to Arizona than Sean Miller would bar none. The sole reason Arizona is remotely seen as a tainted place is because Sean ...

he isnt leaving cause there is nowhere to go, he would if he could, and the University will not pay the big bill to fire him So when Robbins stands by his man it's simply because we don't want to part with $10M (or whatever it really is). And when Miller says he's committed to being Arizona's coach...

How motivated are the 'Cats? Pissed off, together, and hungry and we should win it all. On the other hand, it would be easy to understand being tired of it all and satisfied with the Pac-12 title in hand. I've pretty much discounted how the team played against the Bay Area schools last weekend becau...

Strangest thing of all time: ESPN breaks news on Friday that Miller caught on wiretap discussing $100,000 for a player. By Tuesday, that breaking news is buried under everyday game summaries and a bunch of fluff about who's on the bubble and predictions for conference tournaments. What happened to ...

So, assuming Miller is clean, he/UA should lay down, anyway? Can’t go there.

Seems like ESPN is simply rewriting the timeline to fit their narrative and/or protect their guy. 48 hours later they “fix” this?

Pop McKale

In a Feb. 24 SportsCenter talkback, ESPN used the wrong year in discussing the timeline in a story about telephone conversations between Arizona coach Sean Miller and Christian Dawkins, a key figure in the FBI's investigation into college basketball corruption. Sources told ESPN the call in questio...

on another note, the Sean Miller Curtain of Distraction ploy was one of the most hilarious things ive ever seen - i rewound it ten times and laughed till i cried...especially when Fran Frachilla said, "hey, come on, come back out" for the second free throw. lmmfao Yes, that one was pretty good.

Arizona will set the tone at tip-off, when Ayton allows his 6'7" opponent to beat him to the ball, taking Ayton's jump-ball record to 0-26 on the season. From the first defensive possession, Arizona will be in chasing rather than tagging mode, running after the man with the ball through open lanes ...

Just something I heard yesterday. Miller and his coaches will only have 1 session of their summer camp and the reason that was said was they didn't know if they would be here. That was depressing to hear This is NOT to call out azcat49, but I just got the e-mail to register for the Sean Miller Bask...

Pop McKale

I actually feel relieved to see what this team is, and I don’t regret not jumping the gun and coming to conclusions in December that turned out to be right in February. Flawed teams can make a Final Four, especially this year. But not a team with this combination of flaws in February: No defense an...

Here's an even better version of "Philly Special..."

"You've got more catches than Tom does..."

Pop McKale

The camps have typically been back-to-back weeks in mid-June, 5 days each. You can sign up for one or the other or both. My son did both weeks last summer and had a great time. If memory serves, they've opened up registration in mid-February or so the last couple years so I guess we'll have a defini...

Pop McKale

A huge issue is that Ayton has been officiated like Shaq used to be. The defense can have 2 or 3 guys hockey checking him before a foul is an option. He's big and strong enough that minimal contact plus a selling job draws an offensive foul whistle. I get that it's hard to officiate him, but I feel...

That doesn’t explain the lack of anything resembling a play called off an inbounds. Exactly. And oddly, too many times the end result is someone (usually Trier) trying to dribble through 3 people, losing it, resulting in a break the other way and a reasonable attempt by the other team to make the f...

We assume it's been a wild ride but say that without having any info from Heeke and the AD. All the leaks and supposed chaos has come from elsewhere. Heeke was in a no-win situation here.

Also didn't understand why we just left Dusan on an island to guard Davis down the stretch last night.

Ugly win for sure but keeping it big picture, the energy, effort and spirit was great to see. Showed up in the 2nd half the other night in Vegas for the first time this season and stuck around last night. As Miller said, that needs to be the standard. More of a glass half full feeling from me after ...

A couple things: 1) It won't happen - because after this long, leopards don't change their spots - but the end-of-half/end-of-game with a lead strategy is just brutal.
