Bear Down Wildcats

Starters: Bradley Love Lewis Townsend Krivas Bench: Phillips Bryant Dell’Orso Awaka Veesaar Is this believable that 10 players can get 10 min+? Or are we thinking someone gets relegated to garbage time? In the land of rainbows, sunshine, and lollipops, sure why not? In reality, I'm staring at an 8 ...

MrKyle

Big time pickup/retention - glad to see him staying!

MrKyle

Love isn't in the portal, so how can he transfer? It's either playing professionally or return to Arizona. Still has until May 1st though. Grad transfer maybe? Not sure either Excuse my ignorance on this, but doesn't this assume that Love is graduating this year? Just because he's in year 4 or 5 of...

Hopefully just getting some good talent evaluation and room for improvement going into next year!

Well that sounds ominous

Yea, not what you want to hear - depth pieces I could understand and while it would suck; not as impactful as losing starters.

No joke, this is brutal - hope he isn't going to Washington...

Usually like him as well, but he’s had some clunkers with jokes this whole tournament

MrKyle

Uconns guard length is insane - couple that with Klingan and they can do just about anything they want on defense

MrKyle

Looking like it’s over for Purdue - Edey getting chewed up on D

MrKyle

Yea it can’t just be the Edey show with how many weapons UConn has…
Great game so far though

MrKyle

I wonder if he can stretch his shot out to the 3-point line every once in awhile. Veesaar can. And until the Cats replace Keshad, we may see him a lot out there. Henri was 5-10 3PT his last FIBA season. https://twitter.com/ArizonaMBB/status/1602848652233351168 Tommy already said Veesaar was playing...

MrKyle

This game is entertaining so far, looks like UCONN might be turning it up!

While it’s cool to have the final fours in these huge locations… the sight lines have to be absolutely awful to watch in person. Some of these camera shots it looks like you couldn’t even see the court!

MrKyle

Well NC State can’t buy a bucket - had ton of chances to get it close

Edey’s hands remind me a bit of Zeus hah

MrKyle

Fishclamps wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 4:23 pm Edey has the worst hands

He’s getting stripped left and right this game - not keeping the ball high

MrKyle

Game is being officiated well so far - sucks for NC State they lost their guy to that freak hamstring injury

Still in striking distance for NC State

It finally happened. USC finally hired a better coach than UCLA could.

Yea, I think he’s a good hire - did good job at Arkansas

MrKyle

Postmaster wrote: ↑Thu Apr 04, 2024 7:43 pm I heard Mussleman to USC.

Yes, it’s been announced- and USC lost 2 players transferring to UCLA

MrKyle

I can’t think of a roster development as significant as Ballo returning, were it to happen. I like the idea of Ballo coming back, but I think that would create quite a log jam at the 5 and lead to Anderson/Veesar transferring though? Guess it depends if we think we'd only get a year more out of eit...

MrKyle

we don't want anything to do with Bronny James - the amount of ball washing he gets because of Lebron is insane; he isn't AZ good either

MrKyle

Why not just start both Jaden and Kylan? Kylan could get more spot up opportunities and Jaden can penetrate with more spacing than playing with the bench last year. I don't know that there is space for that with who we've got coming in I'm guessing that KJ Lewis/Sanon/Phillips will be in the SG mix...

MrKyle

Some rumblings that Boswell is gone. Not enough to bank on, yet, but might want to keep your eyes and ears open. Would be great for him to stay and hopefully take a big leap for next year, but with the understanding that it will be open competition with JB for the starting PG role. We've all seen t...

MrKyle

Thank god he didn’t get to the FF before Tommy. Totally. With all due respect to NC State, Duke was one step away from the FF, with their usual roster of NBA talent, and played one of their worst games of the season. I didn't get a chance to watch the game, only score on the app - glad to hear Duke...

MrKyle

Dang - that is disappointing to see Murauskas go into the portal. We've been needing a 4 that can stroke some shots, but I guess his defense wasn't up to snuff off the bat?

MrKyle

Think UConn will roll over Bama but glad to see Clemson go down

MrKyle

Bama lighting it up now..

MrKyle

Fishclamps wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 6:25 pm I don't get Clemson, they have some sort of divine protection.

Dabo Swinney must have called in a favor

At least Bama starting to hit some 3s

We are tame on here compared to the facebook groups

Indeed - saw their percent as game was winding down and was amazed another team could surpass our inability to hit a 3!

MrKyle

Well we didn’t lose to an 11 seed right?

MrKyle

“Arizona has a higher standard,” Wildcats center Oumar Ballo said after the 77-72 loss, in a locker room where most sets of eyes were fixed on the floor. “If you don’t make it to the Final Four, if you don’t win the (championship), it’s not going to be a successful year. Some programs would settle ...

MrKyle

It's a weird situation for sure. I wanted to see if Martinez was good enough to be a rotational guard next year but Tommy never gave him enough burn to see what kind of ceiling he has. One thing's for sure, Boswell is likely gonna have to ride the pine or transfer. We need a guard that LEADS day in...

MrKyle

He plays too fast sometimes but understandably so as a freshman. But he has all the tools except a three point shot. Shocked he only played 13 mins last night. We needed his D in the second half It seemed like he was getting his 3 ball dialed in as the season went on, not his best shot but if he ca...

MrKyle

His ups and downs have been something this year, that is for sure. I hope he sticks around and can find some consistency. I don't know if that shoulder dislocation was bothering him or something else was - but his shot seemed flat/short quite a bit the past few weeks. I wouldn't want to lose JB by k...

MrKyle

This year definitely had its up and downs; but overall I think it was a success. We came into the season with hopes we'd be a top 20-25 team and weren't sure how the transfers would fill the gap of those who left. I think CTL did a good job of putting together a team that had a high ceiling and abil...

MrKyle

Oof, what could have been...

MrKyle

watching Sears and RJ Davis in this game tells you how much a top tier PG means in March

MrKyle

Seems like a good kid, Lloyd is good for him. Just not the killer when we needed him to be Without Love we do NOT win the P12 Title and probably don't even get to the Sweet 16. The guy has flaws in his game and everyone knew it. He probably doesn't have an NBA future but hopefully can make some nic...

MrKyle

KJ Lewis is going to be a stud - the flashes we've seen this year are promising! When he is able to bring in a more consistent offensive game that we've seen in spurts (3PT, slashing and finishing) with his top tier defense and effort (cutting back on dumb fouls) I think he has potential to be a lot...

MrKyle

So the point I'd make about TJ is that even with him as our PG, surrounded by future NBA players, we still couldn't get to the FF. One tough loss against Wisconsin in OT, followed by another loss to the Badgers in a game that wasn't as close as the final score suggests. Even with one of the best PG...

MrKyle

We don’t get to S16 without Love and Pelle. I think CTL might have overused them during regular season. I’ve never been impressed with our strength and conditioning. No doubt, that is the hard part - you know how much those guys contributed to the regular season and even a bit in the tourney. That ...

MrKyle

S16, regular season conference champs, a draft pick or two. The realistic hope of a contending team NEXT year. the sad thing is it, we're so used to it. That it all feels weirdly comfortable, like a once nice pair of jeans. This is a good point... But I think everyone needs to take a step back and ...

MrKyle

Love is blaming himself. https://twitter.com/jasonscheer/status/1773528411736363273 its not just him that is for sure - did he take a few bad 3's in the game, no doubt but he wasn't chucking every time. He had a really cold stretch at worst time of the year, overall in the year I think he played we...

MrKyle

We haven’t had an elite PG since TJ, and he was more of a diamond in the rough. The old Goazcats board used to say that team was 4 NBA players and and a slow white point guard from Duquesne with alligator arms. TJ sure showed us. But Lute knew all along, said the best player on the team was sitting...

MrKyle

Ballo, Love and Larsson are all gone even with eligibility. When pelle missed that wide open layup then flopped and gave up a jumper I knew we were in trouble Pelle also was completely lost on defense. I wish them all well, but glad they are gone. Probably only miss Johnson to tell you the truth. J...

MrKyle

There was clearly something off with the team's mental preparation, readiness and resilience today. The team I just watched lose to Clemson -- fucking CLEMSON! -- is not the same team I saw win game after game after game this year, against much teams than Clemson. Not to take anything away from Cle...

A chance to take a lead and we start shooting threes. Just why?

Yep… we got back into game by going hard to rack and FTs and then step away from it
