I'll be shocked if BW re-commits to Arizona. I feel like Oregon and Gonzaga are more advantageous for him simply because Altman and Few would allow BW to play to his strengths. Miller is too much of a micro-manager. And lets face it the uncertainty that still looms over the program is enough for mos...

Personally I think many of us are underestimating Barcello. I happen to think he will rise to the challenge next season. He didn't play much this year and I felt at times nothing could be worse than leaving PJC out there to flounder hopelessly and at times running our offense into the abyss. There's...

Just read TJ McConnell lost his starting position to Markelle Fultz. Fultz with so much more upside but TJ has busted his butt to be a quality NBA player. Hopefully TJ will still get minutes but it likely won't be many heading toward the NBA playoffs.

Brandon Williams is on an unofficial visit to ASU. Can 2018 recruiting get any more bleak? It can and almost certainly will. One things for sure in my mind; Brandon Williams isn't coming anywhere near Arizona and who can blame him. With multiple offers from better programs such as Oregon, Gonzaga, ...

APRIL FOOLS!!!!

Even if you think players should be getting paid, you should not be okay with paying Ayton to come here. The sanctions could bury this program, especially since we reinstated Miller. Yes, coaches have cheated for years but that doesn't mean it's worth it. No fan base wants to win and vacate. We wan...

I am grateful I needn't root for the Squirrels. I'm not a KU fan either but they had a great season. Just wish the Cats could fare as well in the tournament as Kansas does. I will always love Arizona basketball but at present we aren't even close to being on Kansas' level at basketball. Again I giv...

https://twitter.com/ArizBasketball/status/979416854606196737 I don't think the question is whether Miller is a great coach - I think he is. The question is does he cheat?

At this point I'm just looking more forward to football. Just tired of the basketball program soap opera. I just feel like CSM isn't going to be our coach next year.

Gotta beat those a-holes tomorrow. I hate Alford. Gonna need to figure out how to contain Holiday, and the answer is unlikely to be "PJC." Do you double him and make the other guys beat you, or let him go for 40? He's clearly the hottest player in the Pac at the moment, so Miller has his work cut o...

Now would be the time to self sanction a couples shcolies. Probably only have 8-10 players anyway. Why would we do that before we have completed our internal investigation which is still ongoing?

Not much of a shooter, and really poor handles, but some kids just don't like school. $25k a year to play basketball full time, with no classes, is better than your upperclass years in college?

Are you guys virtue signaling that the new player we should gripe over is Barcello now that Ristic is decent? I’m holding out he’ll make his sophomore jump. Plus he has a year in the system under his belt. Edit: what alieb said. I don't want Barcello to leave at all. I still think he is gonna do gr...

Sorry to be so brutal but this team isn't going anywhere in the tournament. They just have no cohesion, no flow, and its clear as hell that there is some friction between some guys.

If there is one thing I've learned, it's that if I think a UofA player should come back for another year (for whatever reason I think it) then said UofA player isn't coming back for another year.

If we do end up playing in the conference and NCAA tournaments I have a feeling the officials will target us more than ever.

The way this season is going, he won't be cleared. Without Trier or Miller, I won't be watching any postseason basketball. Wrong.

Somewhere from within the difference between vindication and redemption we are going to lose our guy. It fits our fate as we know its history.

Question: if Miller is clean, how come former players and associates aren’t coming out publicly to support him, maybe just via Twitter?
