Bear Down Wildcats

Dave

His statement sounds like someone that is not planning on coming back. I would love to have him back!

Dave

This is the first post season I have felt some apathy. I don't like the feeling! Hopefully I can shake it soon!

Dave

I hope the team and the fans are laser focused on Long Beach State and nothing else.

Dave

This garbage conference getting four teams in the tourney seems very unfair.

Dave

We win the regular season title and 3 of our 5 losses come from the #10, #11 and #12 placed teams. This has to be some kind of record.

Dave

I loved Tommy’s energy and focus.

Dave

At this point I think you have to shake up the starting lineup. I don’t care what KenPom says. Our offense and defense has looked liked garbage against Stanford and WSU. We are regressing! Teams are also turning Ballo into a pretty big liability. Every foul placed on him is a great play. If the refs...

Dave

I usually really enjoy Tommy's interviews. That was one I really did not enjoy. Our defense has been a mess since the Purdue game. I wish I could pin it all on an effort problem.

Dave

I was listening to Andy Patton the host for Locked On Zags. He said the Zags have had a long history of not being able to defend the 3 point line.

Dave

This one played out almost identical to last year at Maples. I thought this team was built different.

Dave

Stanford is doubling the post and packing the paint. This is the exact same game plan as last year.

Dave

This is our best team since the TJ years. If we don’t learn how defend a ball screen we could definitely see a early exit.

Dave

This site has our 3 PT Defense ranking at #251.

Dave

I am convinced teams put way too much emphasis on Edey. Unfortunately he is getting 20-30 pts no matter what you do. We held him to 3pts below his average but watched their guards torch us for 53pts. The focus has to be on their guards. One thing I underestimated was their ball screen offense.

Dave

I definitely have major concerns with the double team. I have seen many teams give up wide open three after wide open three trying to deploy it. They have 5 players shooting over 44% from three. Pretty easy when you are wide open. Maybe we could sprinkle some in the second half when their perimeter ...

Dave

Pressure perimeter players and deny post entry passes. Ballo needs to be an immovable force. Fouling is a waste of time. Push tempo!

Dave

I think our bench will see plenty of minutes during conference play. Our defense has the potential to completely bury teams early and often.

Dave

I have already watched a couple of Washington games this season. The fans have given up on the program.

Dave

"Home-and-home conference scheduling might be reduced depending on how the 16-18 team conference sets up divisions - Arizona and KU could easily be in separate groupings...." This is my biggest fear! It could easily happen if the Big 12 starts taking more West Coast teams. Then we end up playing in ...

Dave

The expectations for Boswell were getting a little out of hand. Maybe this will turn out to be a good thing.

Dave

I was really worried after we lost Nembhard. What Tommy has done since then has been remarkable. We are flat out loaded!

Dave

It sounds like Kentucky is planning on using him as a rotational defensive stopper. He would be a great addition for that roll. Just not sure I want him as our starting PF.

Dave

Is Johnson a perfect fit to team up with Ballo? My answer would be no. Maybe I am missing something. He can’t hit a perimeter shot and is a liability at the free throw line.

Dave

Let’s pull one more 7 footer. We could run a lineup of all 7 footers. ISO the guys that have the shortest players defending them.

Dave

Does anyone know anything about Kentucky’s roster. Do they really have a starting spot to guarantee him? I am sure Calapari will be guaranteeing a lot of things.

Dave

Henri needs to do legs workouts all summer long. Tons of squats!

Dave

I heard he was most likely going the professional route. He was just invited to the NBA G League Elite Camp.

Dave

Choo, Do you have any idea where we stand in the competitive NIL market? What needs to happen to make us more competitive?

Dave

Is the NIL bidding war true?

Dave

I hope we take a close look at Utah Valley transfer Aziz Bandaogo.

Dave

May as well talk about stuff other than basketball. It sounds like the 23 roster won’t be finalized until June or July.

Dave

When was the last time we switched a recruit when all signs we pointing away from us?

Dave

That is seriously messed up!

Dave

It is pretty obvious our so called recruiting experts have very limited information.

Dave

I can’t believe I got taken for a ride on this recruitment. All of the crystal ball prognosticators and so called insiders are clueless. I have no idea who to believe anymore.

Dave

This is what happens when Duke somehow gets all their potential first round picks to come back.

Dave

I will be rooting for him. I wonder if he has a guaranteed starting position.

Dave

This is way beyond a UA fan problem. The focus of the entire college basketball season is the NCAA tournament. It has been this way for a long time. The entire season is focused on getting you ready for the tournament. All we hear from the talking heads during the season is Final Four, Championship ...

Dave

Anyone know what the story is with Dominick Harris? He only averaged 4 minutes a game this past year. Only 13 games played.

Dave

Those are poverty level wages!

Dave

The transfer portal is really starting to heat up. It looks like we have 3 starting spots to fill. SG, SF and PF. Buckle up!

Dave

True! Lol

Dave

He took UCLA out of the tournament last year. (30pts)

Dave

I am really going to miss Kerr. Can you imagine if he decided to stay and come off the bench?

Dave

You guys have been scarred from the Miller roster turnover era.

Dave

Carter Bryant is a 2024 recruit unless he reclassifies.

Dave

I also think it is also more of a backcourt problem, but there is reason the Tucson Skyline and the Ristic/Ayton lineup was a bust. The problem is defensive matchups.

Dave

Olson stayed with Mustafa too long. Miller stayed with Parker too long. What are your guys thoughts on our two big lineup going forward? Bigs struggling defensively because of ISO ball and being force to guard the perimeter. Bigs struggling offensively because of double teams and physical pack the p...

Dave

We were holding two scholarships open until Boswell took one of them.

Dave

We have two open scholarships even if we bring everyone back. With those open scholarships we have to improve our athleticism at the guard/wing position with guys that can create their own shot. The other priority has to be to get out of this mid major conference.
