I don't know why pundits keep thinking the seniors may come back. They all participated in the senior day ceremonies and I don't recall anyone ever coming back after participating. The nice thing about going overseas, besides going overseas, is that you don't have to attend classes. Ballo even reds...

Guards, bad luck, and a weak conference. Tommy has done an amazing job cleaning up after the CSM fiasco. His teams seem akin to the early Few teams at Gonzaga, tons of wins, March heartbreak. It took them awhile to get to the F4 and I’m confident Tommy can get this program back to the big stage. Let...

I know Scheer can be annoying, but this is spot on.

Love, Boswell, Larsson all played like complete shitheads. Love and Larsson is inexcusable considering the flow of the game and the fact they couldn't stop Ballo.

I like discussions based on objective marketing data and our national brand’s fit within it, rather than feelings. Seems like the people who won’t acknowledge the benefits of being on a national platform are just still pissed at ESPN for the Sean Miller/Deandre Ayton bullshit, which I understand. B...

Robbins said the university loaned the athletics department $86 million and there would be layoffs in athletics, but go ahead and blame the professors. https://kjzz.org/content/1869123/university-arizonas-athletic-director-out-amid-financial-crisis UA is losing money.

The fans are bad. The collective is bad. The professors are bad. The decision makers aren't bad, however.

Washington has home games with Michigan, USC, UCLA and goes to Oregon, Iowa, and Penn State. Good fucking luck.

This is actually something I know a bit about, so here is my opinion. The Auditor General issued the audited financial statements for the University on October 10. https://financialservices.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/2023-10/acfr2023web.pdf The athletic department operates as a separate entity ...

deLaura makes horrendous decisions, won’t throw from the pocket, etc. He’s no good.

Any idea when the complete schedule will get released?

I know it's not an apples-to-apples since Arizona Stadium is much smaller, but Penn State got 106,626 for a noon kickoff against Central Michigan and Arizona drew 36K for their conference opener. The B1G or SEC isn't going to pay attention to Arizona.

I’m starting to think we never lost neemhard. I don’t think he was ever ours. Revisionist history? Maybe. Yep, he played Lloyd Still it is never time to worry until the roster is set. A lot can happen. Cannot get caught up in the noise of social media and podcasting etc But definitely can blame the...

Do you just keep making the same post over and over again using different words so people pay attention?

SabinoDrifter

This is a real kick in the nuts, but some level of rebuilding was going to be inevitable. The upside with Boswell running the point is much higher than Kerr at this point in their careers and Kerr at the 2 was never going to happen.

SabinoDrifter

Bal just announced he's leaving. It's like rats running from a sinking ship. I expect Tubelis to declare (if he's smart) and possibly more transfers. Next year is going to be rough. Could Boswell bolt? His demeanor during the Princeton post game presser made me wonder. Tommy won't have the luxury o...

SabinoDrifter

Not surprised and my guess is Tommy would not have given him guarantees on minutes as the 2. Streaky player and really is the same player he was as a freshman.

SabinoDrifter

Battle getting dismissed by a lame duck head coach is a bad sign.

SabinoDrifter

Thanks, that is pretty sobering. I would take Kerr over almost all those people above him. Stats don't tell the whole story and only casuals rely on stats Got it, casuals rely on stats. The eye test shows a team that was top 10 in offensive efficiency all season sitting at home after scoring 55 poi...

Thanks, that is pretty sobering.

Just a recap of how our seven rotation players rated for the the entire regular season according to Real GM - "qualified players" only: C Oumar Ballo: #3 of 12 in the Pac-12; #52 of 390 nationally. PF Azoulas Tubelis: #1 of 18 in the Pac-12; #7 of 498 nationally. SF Pelle Larsson: #5 of 17 in the P...

SabinoDrifter

Pretty fair summary.

SabinoDrifter

Tommy didn't make adjustments when Princeton made their second half run. He needs to own that and have a quicker trigger. I've been wanting Boswell to get more minutes since the beginning of conference play and feel like Tommy was too quick to pull Boswell after a bad play or two.

SabinoDrifter

There's not a lot of pressure when you win 33 and 28 games in your first two seasons after the Miller / Book fallout. He has been a little less than subtle with his postgame comments this year and they didn't respond. Brendan Haywood said it during the Northwestern-Boise game - Arizona lost that gam...

Here are the possessions in the first half when they went up 31-22: Azuolas Tubelis Turnover. Azuolas Tubelis missed Layup. Kerr Kriisa missed Three Point Jumper. Henri Veesaar Offensive Rebound.

What a horrendous call on Zu

I don't want to hear a fucking thing about Kerr after this one.

SabinoDrifter

Not very many winning plays by Kerr

SabinoDrifter

They're little things, but that's two very sloppy turnovers back to back.

Call a fucking foul

Tommy is going to lay into these guys at halftime.

Our brand survived? Our brand is currently on life support. Five more years in the PAC is hospice. The brand was really strong when less than half a million people tuned in to see Arizona host an SEC school last September. It was outpaced by memorable games like Missouri-Kansas State, Louisville-UC...

Also, if they rematch with UCLA next week, Kerr needs to shoot the fucking ball. He’s trying to do too much against a very good defensive team. Take the open shot.

Ok ok… Ramey is having a shitty game but is having an amazing year….

I know, he’s been terrible tonight and a little too hot and cold for a senior.

I’m in favor of Boswell getting more minutes than Ramey going forward.

Will be interested in seeing if they end up #1 in KenPom offensive efficiency in the league after this weekend.

SabinoDrifter

Unfortunately, Lloyd apparently has no confidence in Bal or Veesar. So I doubt we see much of them, if at all. With this team, we never know whether we will get Jekyl or Hyde. The team could beat any other team in the country and they could lose to just about any team in the country (Div 1). Our ro...
