Bear Down Wildcats

AzCatFan2

Bear Down! We have two, potential top 20 NFL draft choices on the roster with Davis and TMac! Maybe even higher for both. Have we ever had two football 1st rounders before?

AzCatFan2

We picked up a 6' 2" 260 lb freshman transfer from Memphis (https://www.azdesertswarm.com/football/2024/4/24/24136774/arizona-wildcats-football-recruiting-jarra-anderson-memphis-tigers-ncaa-transfer-portal-commitment). Could use a few more pounds, but only a freshman, and played 11 games last year. ...

If Pope matches or exceeds Cal's level, then this is a homerun hire. Kentucky fans will give Pope a little more rope, because he's an alumni. If Pope fails, and doesn't last his first full contract, then expectations will be lower, and the next guy can come in and reach Cal's level and fans will be ...

AzCatFan2

Pope's also never won a game in the NCAA Tournament. Five years at BYU, one COVID year, 1 no bid, 1 NIT bid, and 2 first round losses. Can't see Kentucky fans too happy about this record. Sean Miller might not win the press conference either, but he has taken two teams to the Sweet 16 and has 3 Elit...

Billy Donovan would be a home run hire. But Donovan left Florida because he didn't enjoy recruiting any more. And this was before the transfer portal and NIL. I don't see him going back to the college game. Drew from Baylor would be one coach that would take the job, and Baylor could hire brother Br...

Guys like Sampson (68) and Barnes (69) are way too old. Nate Oats makes sense, and even though he has something like a $18million buy out, with KY not owing a dime any more to Calipari, if they wanted to pay it, they would and could. One name that is a total wildcard is Sean Miller. Lexington is onl...

My parents live in W. Sacramento about 10 minutes south of the Rivercats stadium where the A's will be playing. Been to a couple of games through the years, back when it was Raley Stadium, and it's a decent AAA stadium that seats about 14k. With the A's averaging around 6k in a 60,000 seat stadium, ...

This team simply didn't have the mental fortitude to play a full 40 minutes at a top level. We saw it just about every game. Huge mental lapses when the team would play stretches of full dog shit basketball, smell and all. We saw it all the first half against Dayton. We were the best team in the cou...

AzCatFan2

Another dog shit performance in the first half. And another disappointment to end the season. Sadly, not unexpected.

AzCatFan2

I love Bradley off the bench. Having a 6th man with no drop off from the starters, who may be an even better player than a starter is a weapon. Boz has a higher upside than Bradley in my opinion, but Bradley is a better defender. Start Boz, and if he's playing well, great. If not, as CTL put it, Bra...

Picked a great time to have his best game as a Wildcat. One of the biggest stages in college basketball, and he was nails. Great to have a 6th man that picks up the D intensity and can make big buckets. Reminds me of Jason Terry.

AzCatFan2

Going small and switching 1-5 was a brilliant move by CTL. Stopped Dayton from even taking 3s, and allowed us to attack the press with 5 guys. Oh, and vJaden EFFING Bradley! What a game!

AzCatFan2

YES!How Sweet 16 it is! And Jaden EFFING Bradley!!!

AzCatFan2

Need to close strong. And keep the ball with Bradley!

AzCatFan2

New game, same shit. Never let off the gas until the clock is 0:00, or you have a 20+ point lead with under a minute to go. Should never let a team like Dayton go on a 10-0 run.

AzCatFan2

YES!!!!

AzCatFan2

We picked up the D intensity this half and made LBSU rush. Now, they are afraid to shoot. Our effort has been great. Need to carry this through the entire tournament.

AzCatFan2

Need to come out fast in the 2nd half and put them away early. Leave no doubt. This game is wayyyy to close.

AzCatFan2

PTSD from being a 2 seed in SLC. Absolutely true.

AzCatFan2

OMFG! Pure dog shit again!!!!

AzCatFan2

When we go braindead, we are flatline awful dog shit. How the fuck can we give up a 12-0 run to LBSU?

AzCatFan2

6 missed layups and LBSU is hitting some tough shots. Not a great start.

AzCatFan2

I think Oregon just stole Coloado's bid. Especially with other bid stealing winners like NC State winning the ACC. Still think the PAC only gets 3.

AzCatFan2

Welp, another heaping pile of dog shit. Two out of three games. This team has learned nothing. Have a lead, lose focus, never regain it. Pathetic.

AzCatFan2

Not a bad fan. A good parent. I'd say that is more important. And if you're career has followed a typical pattern, you're making more now than you did before you had kids. I know my household income is significantly higher now than ever before. I too have kids, including a daughter who is a freshman...

I guess those alum will become UW fans now.

Stupid take is stupid

How active are you with the BayCats? Do you attend their events, including pregame tailgates?

AzCatFan2

What we lose? Opportunities for the AD and President to connect with alumni in CA and WA. 17% of UA students are from California (2nd) and in 4th is WA with 2.2%. And again, more potential big money donors live in these states than all BIG12 states combined other than Arizona. I’d love to see the l...

The percentage of students comes from College Factual (https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/university-of-arizona/student-life/diversity/chart-geographic-breakdown.html#google_vignette). They use IPEDS information, which is a standard database for college students by school. Seattle is home to se...

Better competition in men's basketball? Yes. Football and all other sports? Debatable. We're also going to be competing with schools making nearly 2X from TV deals than us and other BIG12 schools. How long can we compete against that? TBD. More eyeballs? Also debatable. Arizona Basketball is already...

Now we won't have to play at truck stops anymore like Berkley, Palo Alto, Seattle, LA. i'm sure just like me you are really lo...

AzCatFan2

Absolute dog shit tonight. Just nothing but dog shit. Sitting around waiting for a run of death like it's a birthright, but instead of playing hard, getting outplayed and out hustled.

AzCatFan2

When we struggle, we really struggle. Need to find ax way to win a grinder. If we can't, we're not going far again in the big dance.

AzCatFan2

Love needs to stop the hero ball BS. Ball movement has been awful, like we're sleepwalking out there. Ugly half.

AzCatFan2

I still wonder about this team's "nastiness," which is needed to win in March. We know Caleb Love has it in spades, but when things start to turn sour, I'm not sure Love trusts his teammates enough. And he starts to go hero ball. Look at our losses and some close games. Love takes more shots in thos...

AzCatFan2

ASu once again benefits from being our travel partner. WSU probably spent 85% of their prep on us this week. And the letdown in energy after winning in McKale was predictable. Still, I'll take it.

AzCatFan2

WSU was the better team all night. Their length killed us on both ends of the floor.

AzCatFan2

WSU is playing their game, controlling tempo, and getting any shot they want.

AzCatFan2

Should've have driven to the bucket last shot. The refs owe us a makeup call for the last BS foul on Pelle.

AzCatFan2

1 for 8 from 3, and 3 from 8 from the line. And only down 5. Hit some shots, please.

AzCatFan2

Who would have thought the PAC-12 GOY would be WAZZU at Arizona? This is a huge game for the Cougs. Beat us, and they go from "Should be in" to "Lock" status in the big dance. Lose, and they still have work to do. Need to come out ready to play from the tip, like we have the last few games.

AzCatFan2

She is a rising star that left a SEC school to come back home in the west. And her specialty seems to be fundraising. On paper, no complaints. Hope she lives up and surpasses expectations.

AzCatFan2

Great to see Bradley bring the D intensity and instant offense off the bench. Exactly what you want from a 6th man.

AzCatFan2

KJ reminds me a lot of Iggoudala. Not quite the length, but a little more physical. If KJ can develop a jumper, I think he's lottery potential next year. May be a late 1st rounder this year, but so was Mathurin after his 1st year. And he came back to be a lottery pick. I think KJ follows a similar p...

UW hiring Fisch is a risk because the jury is still out on whether or not he can truly build a team and sustain it over time? Or, if Fifita lightning in a bottle, and something Fisch can't easily duplicate. Remember, even with Rosen and JDL at QB, Fisch is a sub .500 coach. And as the saying goes, t...

AzCatFan2

I'm so ready to be done with the Pac. There probably isn't a single team remaining on our schedule that will get us many points on Selection Sunday. But if we should happen to LOSE any of these games, it'll count against us a lot. Both Colorado and Utah are top 35 in current NET rankings (https://w...

AzCatFan2

By my count, if you include the interim stint at UCLA, Fisch is something like 10-22 when he doesn't have Fifita as his QB. And he had Rosen at UCLA, and JDL for 1.5 years at Arizona. It's not like these guys are QBs lacking talent, like the guys we had in year 1. And often times, the QB helps make ...

That feels like the difference tonight, the active defenders on the 3 point line in the second half.

Their D intensity in the 2nd half has been a huge difference. They both deserve a game ball.

AzCatFan2

43.3% is Furd's 3 point percentage. Over 40% again.

AzCatFan2

145 points in 3 halves against Stanford. Just pathetic.

AzCatFan2

6 for 7 from 3 already for Stanford. It's ridiculous how well they shoot against us.
