Re: Kerr Kriisa
Why is allowing a player to wear any number a mistake? That is just a bizarre take. Didn't Kerr wear 25 at Arizona? Guess I'm missing your point. Kerr is a guy that came to Arizona when do one else would in the middle of the SM deal. He certainly has some significant deficiencies especially on the ...

Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball

Conference player of the year, a double double machine, conference champions but I guess none of that matters to you. Love can shoot you out of a game or he...

Re: Kerr Kriisa
Kriisa does take big shots but he almost always misses them and accordingly is much more likely to kill you at the end of games than the opposite. He also does a lot of stupid shit. Relevant here, when he popped off to Luka leading to a huge run, loss of a pretty big lead, and another game in to the...

Re: 2024-25 Arizona Basketball
1. Arizona has a relative unknown at the most important position on the floor. I would really like to see Love try the PG position lacking any new transfers if he returns. His passing is pretty good for a 2 with a 3.4/2.1 A/TO ratio (Boswell 3.6/1.7), and keeping him on the ball will hopefully rest...

Arizona better not perennially enter the season as the 5th highest ranked B12 team. If that occurs without some elite NCAAT success to offset it we have problems.

For all intents and purposes, Sanon's role on the team would be the same as Love's. Boswell wouldn't have impacted that as much. So it's more of a role issue rather than minutes.
