So for those of you who have looked into Damon more than I have (minimal) who would you rather have? Freshman Sanon (is he a 1&Done?) Or Super Senior Love? Love was my favorite player to watch in an Arizona uniform this past season. I am not big on 1&Ds who aren’t game changers from day 1, which Sa...

https://twitter.com/jasonscheer/status/1783174453851214130 I just watched some of his highlights. It looks like he uses his footwork to establish himself on the post very well. Plus he seems comfortable putting the ball on the floor and hitting 10 footers. I’m excited and hope he brings some leader...

It is nice to see an bball/fball athlete pursuing a degree is something other than interdisciplinary studies or family studies

This is depressing! Yes it is, especially for players like Ballo who are in the Portal for one reason..............$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ And the reason he's in the portal is because the UA doesn't have the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ the B1G/SEC teams have. And what if he isn’t offered any more NIL money at another ...

UConn’s Castle played like a senior. We can pray and hope Is there any doubt that Dan "Turd Nugget" Hurley is the best coach in the country? He adjusted his offense to maximize his players' strengths. It kills me to see another successful Hurley!!!! Calgon, take me away!!!! Hope you meant the bath ...

I really wanted Ballo back for his experience.

I'd offer him anytime access to Grandy's, Lucky Star Buffet, Two Pesos and Sanchez Burrito Co, if he stays.

LuteIsGod

Krivas will obviously have to get better but I think he is more talented than Ballo. Better feel for the game and bigger. He. Can’t. Jump. How are you 7’2” and have such soft layups and very little dunks? Kriisa ain’t hammering those thundering dunks off of oops from pick and rolls situations. I’ll...

Does the new NIL environment allow you to plan and allow a player to mature? I don't think it does.

I'd rather have Ballo back. Is this a coaching decision or is his NIL pay going to be higher elsewhere?

LuteIsGod

This is where I split with the fan base on Ballo. Love his contributions as a player, but don't think he can be the leader we need him to be in the Big 12. I have a soft spot for 90's centers who didn't fall down at the slightest contact. I thought that Ballo played with intensity and displayed the...

LuteIsGod

Reads like Tommy already had the one on one player meetings and is letting everyone know where they stand. Like we all know, Lute wasn't shy about telling players they weren't going to get many minutes if they stayed, and some told them directly they were welcome to leave. Maybe Tommy realized that...

LuteIsGod

I wasn't until Shakur was PG that Lute dropped it. Gardner was a true iron man. Shakur couldn't run it as well, and tended to cheat on it, leaving guys open in the corner. Gardner was amazing and remains my favorite Cat. I was out of school by the time he was our starting guard. I remember thinking...

Boswell has the ability. But something is off. Mental, physical or maybe Sevun. I’d like to see CTL use more guards so we could employ a press more often. I really used to enjoy watching Nolan Richardson's 40 Minutes of Hell Arkansas teams. Those teams were intense, and I would have hated to play t...

Well, count me among those who would LOVE to see Ballo back. He's no Edey, but he's a very good center and would be even better next year. Agree I’d like him to be the leader of the team in their debut in the Big 12 He played very well the last 10 games of the season and I think he has shown the mo...

LuteIsGod

The FT stats stick out. Similar to Kriisa. Guys like LOVE and Boz need to penetrate and draw fouls. Probably a consequence of CTL’s offense. Maybe something the staff should think about. Good catch, 39 FT attempts in 36 games is extremely poor. Had 142 2PT attempts this season only making 59. We al...

LuteIsGod

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 I like that his first offensive move is to look for a path to the basket. I’d like to see him become a H...

LuteIsGod

I think it would benefit Boswell and the UofA if he went somewhere else next year. He needs to start fresh and forget about this past year. Less we all forget he was great the first third of a year. He lost his confidence somewhere and was tentative after that. I pray he comes back because his defe...

LuteIsGod

I would love to have Ballo back next year and I wished we saw more of Marouskas this year. His stroke looks good but there really isn’t evidence he can guard a 3 or a 4 or play extended minutes effectively Agree. Having Ballo our Freshman year in the Big 12 would provide us mental and physical matu...

LuteIsGod

Caleb obviously didn’t play well, but no one shot well. Or played very well. Can Ballo make a free throw? Can Larsson defend an inbounds pass? Was Boswell even out there? Can Lloyd take away the green light for a player? Only ones that cared to play were the freshmen, Lewis and Bradley. The future ...

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. I also wonder about the strength and conditioning. Didn’t Lute have the teams running a few miles every day while requiring a 6 minut...

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.

This loss is on Tommy. KJ didn't get in until the under 12 min media timeout in the 2nd half. He was the reason we got back in the game in the 1st half along with Bradley. Not playing KJ over Pelle and Bradley over Boz is coaching malpractice. Pelle is a 6th manz KJ will be a pro. So disappointing,...

Clemson hasn’t been favored in any of their games and have won all three. Teams have shot 14-75 from three against them, many were wide open shots. Kind of hard to figure that out One thing for sure, we did speed them up with pressure and it was effective. CTL should have told them to just put your...

Lloyd being a mid major coach and this is his ceiling is spot on Merk....hate to say this but that is an idiotic statement. Beating Duke, Wisconsin, Alabama etc along with winning the conference 2 out of 3 years and the Tourney 2 out of 3 years says he can coach. I don't blame Tommy for this loss w...

Bold prediction - Kylan Boswell will not, no way José, be the starting point guard at Arizona next season. No he won't. The Boswell were is over. He made a mistake coming out of high school too soon. This is an example of poor coaching….sure Boswell is not playing well. I never thought that he had ...

LuteIsGod

This will be our ceiling with Lloyd as our coach I don’t know…..I love Lloyd’s style of play But……I don’t understand how he failed to recognize that he needed to have the team play balls out defense in the first half to MANUFACTURE points. We ran 8 fucking deep tonight…..there is no reason that we ...

I’m glad he’s gone

I absolutely hated his low IQ style of play. His stupid fucking comments on senior night sealed it for me. He’s a weird fucking dude with an off putting persona.

Adios Abercrombie dingus!

Why we aren’t driving every possession boggles my mind - even with decent looks from 3; pretty clear we can’t hit them this game Agree We’re getting first steps to the basket, yet passing or pulling away from finishing drives If we had started by attacking the basket and sending our bigs in to clea...

LuteIsGod

LLoyd should NOT have let Love back into the game. Clemson knows his tendencies and if he’s not going to drive, then he is a liability.

Terrible first half of coaching.

LuteIsGod

More aggressive defensive looks for some easy transition points

LuteIsGod

Boswell should model his game after Fogg, who was a very good and underrated guard

LuteIsGod

I can see why Baylor lost. Clemson is the definition of sneaky good. We have to play extremely clean and smart. Their defense looks average at best IMO; we are making low IQ passes and turnovers that are unforced. Also can’t hit a shot to save our lives Agree We’re passing and dribbling into the de...

LuteIsGod

LLoyd getting worked

Need to attack the basket on Clemson’s missed shots

Need to show them some different defensive looks
