Bear Down Wildcats

baconus66

We have the best draw of any 2 seed, and a better draw than Zaga and UNC imo

baconus66

I'm really happy with the draw, it's all in our hands now.

baconus66

No chance Xavier gets to the 16

baconus66

So could Maryland

baconus66

FGCU could easily beat FSU

baconus66

Not too scared of ST Mary's or VCU at all

baconus66

Bear down!

baconus66

ND and WV on the other side of the region, good news!

Ill take FSU over WVU

by a lot

baconus66

FSU and WVU are going to be the 3 and 4 in the West it looks like

baconus66

Ouch for Archie

baconus66

UK UCLA rematch possibility

baconus66

Welp its Zaga or us.

baconus66

Looks like we might be in SLC not Sac

baconus66

Bet we get FSU

baconus66

Happy Louisville isnt our 3 too

baconus66

Kansas has to be a little worried about Miami and Mich St

baconus66

Yep, a lot of teams I wouldnt want to play in there, including some lower seeds

Wisky at 8 has me worried.

No way they dont put them in, if nothing else but for ratings

baconus66

Happy Baylor isn't in our region too

Good for USC getting in

baconus66

Duke isnt a 1! and they have to face the overall number one, great news

baconus66

Wisky isnt in our pod!

baconus66

90 minutes? Is that really needed

baconus66

I've said it before and I'll say it again, PJC has fantastic 3 pt shot selection. He never takes the shot if he is guarded tight and is always looking for the open player inside first, but when the D gives him an open shot or the shot clock calls for it he takes it and makes it most of the time. He ...

Lonzo Ball would have thrived here and he can defend. You look at who he plays for and still have a hard time picking out things you dont like about the kid. Ball would have won conference POY had he come to Arizona. Absolutely, could have defended. But the question is would he? He has been as much...

baconus66

I hope we can get him 15-20 minutes in the first round game, just to get him loose and ready. There is a good chance we will need him to step up some later game due to foul trouble or something if we make a deep run

baconus66

Obviously anything could happen in the tournament, but could you really hope for much more going into it? A lot of the biggest questions seem to have been answered. It seems like the integration of Trier into the team is complete and the offense finally moves well when he is on the court. As a resul...

baconus66

A guy like Ball will never come to Arizona because every player, no matter how good, has to fit into the system. If you aren't willing to play harder on defense and run the called offensive plays you won't see the floor. But I do think we will see improved talent coming in at PG with the success of ...

baconus66

I say committee of Kadeem, Rawle, Lauri, and Pinder. Or just put our shut down defender on him all game, PJC

baconus66

His defense looked good all night. Great awareness, leadership, and composure. A true Sean Miller coached PG playing best when it matters most

baconus66

God it's fun being an Arizona fan. No matter who stays and goes from this years team, we appear reloaded and ready to go for next season

That was painful. A few positives I saw: Parker is playing his best basketball of his career. Trier is continuing to improve. We played decent defensively (considering UCLA is one of the top offenses in the country), with horrific defensive rebounding in the second half. I don't think this game real...

Also worth noting he has maybe the best 3pt shot selection on the team. Even when he came back from the injury and was missing everything I don't think there was a single "bad" shot. He takes what the defense gives him and if they don't give him the shot he gets the ball elsewhere.

baconus66

He still get's taken advantage of defensively because of his size, especially on transition and after screens and switches, but I have noticed a significant improvement lately. He has developed this really tight, twitchy one on one defensive style where he never stops moving and is constantly swingi...

baconus66

During pre-game warmups and the game Ray is as engaged and excited as any player. I really hope he stays just as involved with the team beyond this season. He has expressed interest in a media career, they should find a way to let him be involved with the team and also do a media related internship ...

baconus66

I'm really excited for this weekend's games for lots of reasons. I have been in the Zonazoo for 9 years now (long story, but a late game major change into a 5 year program, zero regrets) and been to almost every basketball game in that period (maybe 10-15 missed home games). My college career starte...

Still have 32oz beers right? I think they were $8 last year

I believe replays will only be for tv games

and yes they have 32oz beers, didn't see the price but it seemed like they upped the variety

baconus66

The only way we lose to Oregon in the finals and stay in the West is if they are given a 1 and are shipped elsewhere and I don't see us beating Oregon. Just not a good matchup. I think best case scenario is facing UCLA in the finals and beating them a third time. Unrelated, I really don't want to pl...

Something else to consider, the committee can look at missing personal for losses. We didn't have Trier for Butler and Trier or PJC for Gonzaga. But as has been eloquently stated, all that really matters is to win. If we win out I can't imagine a scenario we are worse than a #2 in the west (that's a...

baconus66

I went to the opening night game and I wanted to give some love to the facility improvements made over the last year. The new (pole-less)backstop net is great, the improved sounds system is kicking, the giant video board is light years better than the old. Games at Hi Corbett were great from the sta...

While I've heard a few people in the Zoo who like them, I think the general consensus amongst the students is they are awful

baconus66

If you put us as the 2 in the West this is absolutely the matchups we'll end up having http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology" target="_blank

Xavier or Dayton in the second round and then Duke or Wisconsin in the 3rd followed by rematch with Zaga or Butler in the 16
