Lloyd gets NACB

Lets also keep in mind that this is a March Madness "Weekday" game...this is the game where refs make adjustments from the weekEND... So that "no call" at half court, or no over and back all those "hack-a-shooter" or bumps on the head that Matherin didn't get...those will get calls tonite... That fa...

Vegas lost a lot of money when UA didn't cover the spread against TCU...tonight's game is Vegas trying to win back some of that $...they WANT people to pick Houston...they do not recover the point spread loss if people pick UofA or if they think the spread won't be covered again, so naturally by all...

Article came out today on practice and pace of play for Gonzaga. Quote from Lloyd. My guess is Arizona runs similar practices. Over three subsequent years, many have tried and failed. Most haven’t come close. Some have hung around for 40 or 50 possessions apiece, but that’s around the time Kispert ...

I do find TCU's response and in particular Jamie Dixons response very inadequate. TCU athletic department has basically said "we've heard from Benn"... What the actual fuck?????? If there were any fucking adults at TCU they'd have already looked at the film contacted the Showgirl and made a public s...

Unbelievable.

So Lloyd beats Cronin TWICE and they still list Cronin as a better coach...he's lost to Lloyd 66% of the times they've played...thats not a good look.

Man some of these Tommy Lloyd stories have been wondering why I was ever such a Sean Miller fanboy...I still Like Miller and he definitely is a decent coach and probably wants to win a lot more than perhaps Tommy might let on that he does...but I get the feeling that Tommy really does love his playe...

CatFanOneMil

As far as the celebration thing goes...here's where I think the impact is: Tommy Lloyd went over and MODELLED sportsmanship at the end of the TCU game... Actions speak louder than words...I'm pretty sure he might say "Act like you deserve this" and it will have impact. He probably doesn't have to sa...

I'm probably older than a lot of you here and I really don't care that the team flexes and showboats after a win...its Tommy Fucking Lloyds team now and if he's ok with it, I'm ok with it. We say "Lute wouldn't allow it" but we don't know that, the Lute of old days would not but the game HAS changed...

Kerr’s foot completely wrapped. Is that normal or just for a plane ride? Flight altitude increases swelling, especially sitting in a plane seat...so this may be normal, hopefully he's able to get to Houston and get acclimated and improve. I HATE Houston as a city. Last time I was there was when my ...

Agreed my hatred of Pac 12 teams stops once we get into different brackets in the tourney...

I still think Cronin is a little bitch though, but I do respect the team.

CatFanOneMil

If Pelle and Krissa and Terry are hitting threes its a route...if the threes are not falling we probably win the rebound battle because its a long bounce... I just don't see what options Houston has that we have not already dealt with this season. Given what happened in the last game, I HAVE to thi...

CatFanOneMil

Well think about it from Houstons POV, how do you stop Arizona? Do you pack in the paint and force a lot of turnovers? Do you double Benn AND C-lo...that leaves three guys open... If you double up on C-Lo do you live with three pointers? I think they will try to force us into three pointers because ...

CatFanOneMil

Here's a video from how Sampson has setup Houston from last year, still relevant... How Houston Scores A few thoughts: 1. They double the post...C-Lo has been doubled all year and it makes very little difference, we've lost 3 games all year and not one of them was because C-lo was doubled...he's a g...

Houston looks like they want to run...bring it. They're #333 out of 358 in the country in tempo. They like to slow it down even more than TCU. Villanova is also really slow at #345 btw. Did you watch them against Illinois? Its that time in the season when the average metric is worthless...they play...

Anyone who thinks Benn needs to touch a booby is a complete and utter Incel, I can promise you he probably doesn't even need to ask for booty, with his accent and his financial ceiling and being able to speak french that dude hasn't needed to reach out a touch a booby since moving to Arizona. Its pr...

TCU was our first encounter with UCLA, Houston will be our second...the difference was the will to survive in both benn and C-lo overcame some abysmal playing by the rest of the team...give Krissa 3 more shots and its EXACTLY UCLA with one make...but this was his first game back and his will to play...

CatFanOneMil

Houston is going to be a physical battle AGAIN...they don't have as much height, but they have weight...half the team is 210 lbs or more...lots of seniors, deep bench only play 2 freshman AT ALL...5th year guys...this will be like a more physical UCLA squad... Hopefully we are legions faster...our N...

CatFanOneMil

I think the experience of surviving TCU's "physical" play cannot be underestimated. I expect The Aw Shucks Assassin/Genius to come up with a better game plan vs Houston. Remember, we only had 1 day to prepare for TCU. I think something that might get overlooked in the "he was fouled" debate is the ...

Wright State v Bryant...we could start Ballo at point and let Krissa play in his crocs at the 5 and we'd still win by 20 against either of these teams.

Here's an interesting FACT about the National tournament: Of the last 45 Championships 44 of the winners all had a top 10 NBA draft...now that might be cause or it might be effect, but its a fact...

If you look at our side of the bracket, there are arguably MORE NBA player draft pics on our team than all the other teams combined...I mean who have the others got? Kofi?

First of all: FUCK espin...they have had a latent UofA hate for quite some time. 2nd Nate Silver has been right a couple of times...he has the same average as a broken clock...no one remembers the vast amount of times he is wrong, he's a hack...538 is a really bad algorithm that is about as accurate...

CatFanOneMil

First of all we don't need him for a week...so "Krissa playing this week" could actually be 5 minutes and it would be true. I suspect they will watch it closely and Lloyd will pull him if he's a liability to himself or the team. I also cannot imagine that the UofA does not have some of the best phys...

Illinois is a lot softer than they look, everyone thinks Kofi is all that but 2 fouls and he folds like a tortilla chip at the bottom of a hot tub. They JUST lost to Indiana who were 9-11 in their conference...that would be like us losing to Stanford or Cal, and yes I know Furd shot lights out in th...

One of the things that has impressed me with Tommy is his ability to listen to his staff and adapt...last nights game against Colorado was a perfect example of this, they calculated that letting the Buffs shoot threes was a good gamble and a new record for threes was set for a P12 tournament game, ...

The thing I am really starting to appreciate about Benn is even with all the hype surrounding him, he has refrained from "flash" just to make sure he scores...in several places in the last few games he COULD have done demonstrative dunks but chose instead to do a soft layup to guarantee a bucket rat...

A little too little too late...6-9

ASU is not going anywhere unless they win the P12 tourney which I seriously doubt they can do...they don't play very well on the road...

Vegas will be an "Away" game for everyone but us.

Gonzaga has experience in most positions...the one thing I would say they lack is being battle hardened in physical games... When they played Alabama Timme couldn't stop Shackleford...against Duke he ran into Moore and Banchero...basically give Timme a SOLID forward who is physical and he isn't the ...

Yep this...lets not forget the NCAA today is not the all-powerful-man-behind-the-curtain it used to be...the last thing the NCAA wants is more bad press and to levy any huge penalty on a team that fired the guy in question, imposed its own post season ban and pretty much co-operated with the investi...

I think this last slow start was also the third game in less than a week...fucking Pac 12 with three trip road games is getting old.

I am really starting to believe that Kerr Kriisa is going to be the key for a run in the tourney. He has a lot to learn, and is fearless. The thing is he gets so emotional at times that he really makes bad plays. He is having fun, but playing beyond his abilities. Yet, when he is sharp he is really...

Kerr can make or break this team and Tommy is smart enough to see it from here, thats why Kier is getting more minutes of late...

I think Cronin is a bit of a hothead and maybe whines a bit much but that describes about 75% of all college coaches, and fortunately you don't find that group winning very many Natty's...(Bill Self being the main example)...Miller never really whined but was not only hotheaded but also hardheaded.....

CatFanOneMil

Of course this result helps us tremendously but in reality it really hurts the conference and you can chalk up this loss to the schedule makers. No way they lose if they played Thursday. You could see how not having the UCLA/AZ game on Saturday impacted both teams play. Totally agree about the conf...

CatFanOneMil

Cronin also likes to go after individual players on the "other" team. Mark my words, if Cronin stays in the PAC12 long enough and recruits his kind of guys there will be some sort of "incident" between ucla/usc or ucla/az.
