Bear Down Wildcats

Trier makes u wanna throw things in the first half, then kiss his feet in the second. Anyone want to take a stab at why it's like this most games it seems?

rgdeuce

Shoutout to Pinder. A big difference maker in this game.

rgdeuce

We frequently run into problems when we bring in three bench guys at a time, especially if both Ayton and Trier arent on the floor. And now that scenario requires Trier at point, cuz Barcello's not getting much burn/is not playing well.

I keep having to talk sense into myself that a game like this wouldnt be fixed. It was that bad, definitely needs to be reviewed and acted upon.

I was at McKale today and I was worried the refs were going to get pelted going into halftime. Then they doubled down by calling a foul every possession for a while in the 2nd half. Yeah, they get booed off the floor at half once or twice a year, but today was legendary in terms of how loud and how...

I wanted to see more Akot last night. He was playing well but got yanked when he fell asleep on one possession and got beat off the dribble for a layup.

Think we're gonna have a hard time advancing in March shooting the 3-ball like we did yesterday. AT, RA, BR, DS...they gotta hit better than 40% of their 3-point tries. It was poor shot selection. They took too many shots. They were contested and too early in the shot clock. OSU's zone was able to ...

It feels a lot better when u think of these losses like "relapses" along the road of progress.

Yikes

It's unarguable, or at least extremely close to it, that this is still a team that can get to the final four, even if there is minimal improvement from here on out. That last piece certainly isn't ideal and leaves you as that team everyone says, "I wouldnt be shocked if they lost in the first round,...

WTF, asu plays utah on a sunday night and Arizona has to play at Colorado on a short turn around game on a Saturday afternoon?

rgdeuce

Miller as a coach is really overrated. Every team knows to play zone and you have a good chance of beating us. No excuses about the start time because this Colorado team is trash. POM is right, we'd be lucky to make the EE. I didn’t have any issue with how we attacked the zone. It lead to uncontest...

rgdeuce

Too many major holes on this team. All of the freshmen (sans ayton) are far behind schedule and we need at least two to play some really important minutes. If this team ever gets into a high-foul slugfest in the tournament, it will be a crapshoot in any round, especially if we aren't a super high se...

Should we be jealous of the complicated collection of action that Larry K threw at us or just be happy that our simple "be better than them" mostly works? Overly simplistic but serious Q. The gap between Miller (and the other handful of elite coaches) and Larry K is not that wide. Larry K does some...

He also has really good timing and accuracy on turning, facing and shooting the elbow J. He is better from the FT line than short corner by a good amount. His footwork is pretty amazing. I'm convinced that Deandre came out of the womb and immediately stepped into a midrange jumper with perfect foot...

Nasty crowd! Ugly :roll: Utah’s crowd, which is the second-largest in the Pac-12 behind Arizona’s, had no shortage of jokes at UA’s expense, like donning shirts that said “FBI” and “U of Pay.” As much as I hate saying it, the FBI and U of Pay stuff is fair game. I'd be upset if I was a coach and my...

rgdeuce

My caveat: I have not rewatched the game and this is memory based from last night. There are a couple of overall factors. Utah ran an offense heavy on perimeter screening. Miller also switched Parker to give him greater responsibility. What I saw was that we had overall trouble with handling screen...

Stolen from the Michigan, Michigan St rivalry. Big brother always beats on little brother.

I dont think ill ever get over how ridiculous this kid is. All things being equal and ignoring positional/team needs, if you could choose one current or former wildcat, pick their best season here, to put on an Arizona team in hopes of winning a title, how many former greats would u pick over up thr...

rgdeuce

Just like his timing on tip-off. I guess it wouldn't be fair if Ayton were great at everything. I said after the Bahamas we'd be undefeated with Nic Wise instead of PJC. Not so sure about this now, although it would help if PJC were fearless and able to drive to the hoop like Nic. We just need PJC ...

I dont think u can use Ayton and mortal in the same sentence.. at this level at least.

They did have a ton of open looks. Always seems to be the case when we play those guys and the common denominator is the guy on the sidelines. Im glad Utah isnt super loaded all the time - Altman and Larry K are the only coaches in the conference who can consistently get their guys make our guys go ...

The road trips are what makes the cream rise to the top. We finish our business in boulder and if ASU loses in SLC, we can kick our feet up re: ASU until Tempe. That's a huge blow to the psyche of little brother and to start conference play too. Always good to have whatever edge u can get, especiall...

Utah has the worst fans in the country, they are down right nasty I don't think they are close to being in ASU's stratosphere. I've been to CBB and CFB games up there and spent a whole year of college up there as well. Delusional, yes, self-inflated opinions about their programs, yes. If you ask a ...

The biggest thing I've noticed visiting SLC and then moving here is that I'll get winded going up stairs or walking a few blocks. I've never had any issue with actual physical activity. Didn't mean to start a big discussion on it since I agree they won't have any problem, I just phrased it poorly i...

rgdeuce

Come talk to me about his draft stock in March. First half last season vs second half last season, night and day. He hasn't found his rhythm from outside yet. He needs that "threat" to really open up the most effective part of his game.

rgdeuce

We really need to chill with the zone fear mongering this year. Outside of a few lapses, this team has done well against zone defenses. It's certainly nothing even close to what we have seen in recent years. There have been multiple games where teams have switched to zone and abandoned it shortly af...

rgdeuce

The tech on ayton was probably a correct call, but that .gif is a really shitty angle to show it from if I could find a replay of the game online I'd tell you where to look, but the other angle from up high does show him shoving the asu guy out of the way with his elbow/forearm. Maybe I'm old, but ...

I think certain people are just trolling us. Certain analysts love to F with our fanbase, we have all seen it for years. What better way to troll Arizona fans than to use their typical games, as well as one of the only times in history that our hated rival actually has a good team. We have a rep of ...

Maybe someone mentioned that he looks like a 12-year-old playing dress up with his dad’s clothes and that maybe he should buy a shirt that fits. I say it every year: if you make six figures and a suit is part of your regular work attire, you shouldnt be wearing off the rack stuff. And aside from th...

Even his shoes had huge ass tongues and padded straps to protect his Achilles tendons. As much as I hated the Knicks, it always pained me to see Ewing's face every time MJ sent him home. MJ owned his soul. https://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/c_limit,w_680/fl_lossy,pg_1,q_auto/mejxskcanzw...

OP, which one was your favorite?

rgdeuce

I'll get more worried if he starts hounding the stat, going in and fighting our own team for rebounds to get that stat (think Dennis Rodman). Or Ryan Anderson :lol: Honestly, I like that though. I'll gladly trade the one turnover from that situation every few games to have a guy that has a nose for...

These ASU fans are getting cocky as hell. I hope we mop the fucking floor with them.

You need to update your stats, WhatIsee. It's 21.7 PPG........ on 57% shooting and 44% from 3, over 3.2 RPG and APG.

The defense took a step back til it hit the 24-22 mark. They may have had one bucket over the next 10 minutes after that. Rawle and Ayton switched on multiple ball screens

rgdeuce

If it is indeed a bone bruise from knees colliding, I had the exact same thing happen to me in high school. I had to stay off it for about a week, and week 2 was light practice in a knee brace. Zo has real professionals taking care of him though, doubt he misses more than the UCONN game.

Arizona won 75 of their last 77 home games going back to the 2012-13 season and have a home record of 128-13 (.907) under Sean Miller.

We have done well against the zone this year, outside of a few lapses here and there. At some point this season, it's not gonna matter what defense teams throw against us. Our third scoring option is #1 at most other schools. Teams have to scheme for Ayton first and foremost, then Trier, which leave...

Avery Johnson deserves quite a bit of credit himself. He played that situation perfectly.

But did he really destroy us? Never felt like he dominated the game even though he was at the FT line all night long. I suppose that's worth something, but the guards were doing better and certainly trying harder than I've seen them all year to limit the penetration. Yeah Sexton is tough. He killed...
