Oregon doesn't look outmatched. Wisconsin has height and shoots well enough to spread the floor very well, but Oregon's speed is a factor.

thenewazcats

Wisconsin should be slightly concerned. Oregon is good enough to win the 2nd half.

Only reason we're alive - any zone defense beats us unless York is 'on' Good thing a Miller didn't listen to all the advice offered to him by many on this board over much of the last 2 seasons; otherwise, York would be out of the program right now. Lol, what are you talking about? That axe is being...

thenewazcats

York was one of the few players who didn't stall the ball two seasons ago. His assist/TO ratio last year was elite. At one point late in the season, he had yet to turn over the ball more than once in a game. So the knock against his passing is unfounded.

thenewazcats

Does it matter if he starts? York will play and make his mark.

4 S16 in 4 AZ tournament appearances. He's good.

thenewazcats

Average offensive rebounding team? We were top 15 nationally last time I checked.

thenewazcats

Stanley still having a huge impact on the game with 9 boards.

thenewazcats

Closed out the half well. I expect Miller to right the ship in the 2nd.

thenewazcats

Good for Miller standing up to the officials

thenewazcats

Where is the foul on that?

thenewazcats

finally a foul call

thenewazcats

Cats get to the line as well as anyone in the country, and just one foul on OSU at the 8 minute mark of the first half.

Watching this game, I think we clearly want to play OSU. Russell is overrated. VCU plays really quick. I think we win but they would be the tougher opponent. Come on man, Russell is not overrated I guess I'm thinking about the time I heard someone say he's a more athletic James Harden. I just don't...

Well I guess I don't have to worry about Baylor LOL, who is up next for you to freak out about for no discernible reason? There was a very valid reason to worry about Baylor. Beyond extremely valid reason. But now we don't. I don't know about that. They play a zone. Did UNLV and ASU play a zone? I ...

I agree. Wisconsin isn't a great defensive team. Last year was about our offensive ineptitude. We held them to 39.3 FG% and 64 points in 45 minutes. Our 39.7 FG% wasn't great, but not unsurprising, either. We masked our FG% all year with a stellar offensive rebounding rate, which turned into lots of...

Did you ever wonder what trolls from rival fan bases do on their home message boards? They troll. Because that's what trolls do. Don't ever confuse enfuego for Kansas fans. We have home trolls who troll us, and you can see them out there misrepresenting us to other fan bases. Really good point. Whe...

As always, tremendous stuff, SHB.

Kentucky clocks in with the highest rating in kenpom's 14-year history at .9787. A freaking juggernaut. Arizona (.9674) is 7th and Wisconsin (.9615) is 14th during the same span. No season has had more than two teams above .9615. This year we have three. In fact, no season has seen more than two tea...

Maybe UCLA doesn't deserve to be in the tournament, but I'm still looking forward to their game against SMU.

thenewazcats

I want to see Rondae on Russell. I want Baylor to try to offensive rebound against the best defensive rebounding team in the nation. I want people to keep worrying about us in a zone while we cut them up from 15 and in. I want to see Frank get humbled. I want everyone to stop sucking UKs massive hyp...

We are the best team in our region. Play hard, don't get bent by the refs, and we're in the F4.

thenewazcats

You can't be Duke of the west and have coeds that look like ours. Pretty sure that would qualify as an unsolvable paradox that could end the universe.

thenewazcats

I considered AZ a good bet to make the title game before they felt slighted. Now expecting a 30 point blowout of Kentucky for the trophy.

I would rather knock Wisconsin or UK out before they reach the F4. There's consolation when losing in the F4; "At least we made it this far." I hope both teams go home early, hurting, and if we can deliver the blow, even better.

thenewazcats

I hope we get the chance to knock Wisconsin out.

thenewazcats

This is the first time in a long time that I don't care about seed. I think we're beating any team anywhere except for UK, UVA and maybe Duke. I mean, there are solid teams, and we'll be in close games, but this team is so superior to most competition when it plays up that I don't think geography or...

Cats haven't played a tourney level game in a long, long time I can't wait until sat. We are going to see what this team is actually made of. If Zeus, Ashley, and York all contribute I like our chances I haven't been truly excited for more than 4 games this season (Utah twice, Gonzaga and SDSU). It...

Wake me up when the tournament begins.

thenewazcats

This team is good enough to compete with the refs.

Great group. Best defense I've seen from AZ teams. We have been the best and 2nd best team in the country in consecutive years. Thank you to Miller and these guys for turning the dream Olson built in the desert into what looks like a long term reality. Good luck moving forward as the next giant wave...

I have my tickets to the title game. We better make it, and win.

PJC is going to give up a little of his game because of his height, but his impact in other areas will make up for it over a large sample size. Maybe he gets subbed out on critical defensive possessions. I can live with that. He will make his teammates better. He won't have TJ's grit, but he is a gr...

thenewazcats

I don't see a single starter returning. PF and C are the only positions remaining to address for depth. The team will be young and talented. Rabb would give us a decent shot at a F4.

thenewazcats

Thanks, guys.

What section does Lute sit in at McKale? Trying to figure out if tickets four rows behind the UA bench are better than those in section 15, where I think Lute may be.

thenewazcats

Tarc gets in great position down low. Our team does a piss poor job of feeding him. We have ballstoppers slowing offensive movement, not moving off the ball. When Tarc finally gets the ball in his hands, he's no longer in great position. It leads to more turnovers, bad shots, and almost an expectati...

thenewazcats

Thornton Jr. would probably be the best player on our '17 roster, and that's saying something. I read that he enjoyed a visit with Pitino. Calipari is after him, correct? As good as CSM is, this seems like a tough battle.

Thought he would be the best true point in the PAC 12 since Kidd after watching his video. Not sure he will get there but the kid has great feel and natural talent. Excited about the program's future with him running the offense.

Can we make this a team-wide behavior? Luckily, almost every Miller team has eventually gotten to this point as the tournament nears.

Duke wasn't built only on the backs of its coach and players and fans. It had help with the free good press. Having an airwaves ambassador isn't everything, but it does help the brand.

Agree. I wasn't on board after watching the highlight video but after seeing him in games, I'm sold on his present and future. What an advantage off the bench.

You're probably getting raw data, Puerco. Ken Pomeroy's metrics are adjusted. He changes his formula annually. I think he even adjusts it midseason.
