Hate to see anyone lose their job but the CB's were probably the worst position on a very bad defense. It kinda makes sense but I have this nagging feeling that this is just a bandaid and we needed open heart surgery on the D. If that's the only change to the D then Rich owns it next year. We will ...

carolinacat

Schemes aside, I'd like for us to simply be able to tackle a guy. It's painful watching a safety or CB come up to fill a gap and have an open tackle, lower their head and then bounce off a ball carrier. I don't know what our practices are like, but some of our defenders looked inept when encounterin...

Bruce is a good guy. He's got a lot to cover. Recruiting services cover recruiting but not the day to day team stuff. Bruce has to keep his finger on everything and filter the important stuff for necessary articles. Hansen's analysis has to be taken with a grain of salt. His opinions on the team usu...

Just hoping we can find a way to win 2 of those first 3 road games of the conference season UCLA is going to be coming off a likely sweep of the Washington schools the prior week. We'll be coming off the ASU game. Gut check time for our team. Our depth should (and could) really help us at ASU. They...

It's a shame Stanford couldn't knock off Texas. A lot of good but not great teams in the Pac this year.

Allen/PJC York/Simon Trier Anderson/Tollefson Zeus/Ristic Too many possessions KA, York and PJC were all looking for theirs instead of initiating the offense. Even late in the second half. If they thought first of post entry to Ristic, this game is a laugher. Reminded me at times of the way our tea...

PJC was a liability tonight. Tries to do too much. Just pass the ball into the post. He's making the game too difficult. Over penetrating too causing turnovers.

Dave Rice can't coach.

I'll remain skeptical of Tollefsen until we're in a dogfight against a really good team and he steps up and is a key player in crunch time.
Can't knock him for having good games against crappy opponents (and NAU is unquestionably the worst team we'll face this season...Chico State included).

carolinacat

I miss Dave Libby (not really). But it would've been great to watch Miller ride one of the worst Pac 10 refs of all time.

Craig Victor seeing first action with LSU. 1-10 from FT line. Looks like the FT curse is transferrable as well. At least Victor got to the line to attempt those free throws. I think he would have eventually become a very good player for us, and he certainly would have have received some significant...

No they won't.

They're reviewing this? How about reviewing some common sense. Idiotic.

Has Simon seen the floor tonight? Thought he was going to get significant minutes.

carolinacat

NAU is horrid. I don't see them finishing out of the Big Sky cellar. We should be up by 50. Better to have a bad shooting game against a bad opponent than to waste a hot shooting night. Save some bullets for UNLV or the Pac 12 opener.

Our defensive linemen don't get much push, our LB's are mediocre at best and our DB's are slow and can't cover. Lovely. But everyone screams about our scheme being the problem.

My recollection was a rocky re-entry for Simon. We went 11-7. I remember Majerus saying that he thought that we were better when Terry played than when Miles played. I thought he was maybe just trying to stir the pot. The NBA agreed with him. Miles got a cup of coffee and JET is still there. Concer...

If Utah can sustain their success, they're a possibility. Beating them last year at their place with the conference title at stake was pretty sweet. Then they fell apart after that. They have a terrific fan base. Between the Utes, BYU, Utah State & sometimes Weber State, there's a lot of good colleg...

I just had a horrible premonition: That the last possession of the last game of the season (NCAA tourney) where the last shot is by Tollefsen. Please no. No! Jamelle Horne style? How do coaches allow top level players progress without fixing these kids shots early on? Good question. Tollefsen obvio...

I don't know about UA's biggest Pac-12 rivalry, but I do know the team I hate the most. And that is New Mexico. The team that has to cheat to win. Lute Olson disliked them so much he wouldn't play them anymore, and for good reason. This is a good point, though. I'd imagine many AZ fans consider a n...

Over-under on attendance?

15,000? They should play the game at Tucson High instead to make it look crowded.

Look, here's a take on non AZ/UCLA rivalries. There aren't many good ones bc the geographical rivalries are generally lopsided. WSU, OSU, USC and ASU are all little brothers. Utah and Colorado don't have a history with each other or a history in the conference. Stanford/Cal is the only matchup wher...

Gonzaga opened -8 vs. UCLA. Line is now at -9.

I don't get it. I would've guessed this is almost a pick em game, maybe 1 or 2 points for the home team. Especially with Karnowski out for the Zags.

What am I missing? Somebody talk to me

carolinacat

Well, when Arizona was down 20 at home to UCLA in 2002 and roared back to win, I don't recall McKale fans storming the court. Nothing wrong with being excited to win, especially hitting the go-ahead shot with ten seconds left. But storming the court? Still weak IMO. Well, they did. It's UCLA. A riv...

carolinacat

Yeah not really seeing what the debate is here. No matter how many fans do or do not show up at Pauley. Well, only that fan indifference seems to impact the rivalry. If Cameron was half full during UNC/Duke, that game would look really strange on TV, and I'm not even sure if it would have the same ...

Take a poll of the fanbase of all the Pac 12 schools and get their opinion on who their rival is. If they don't select their geographic rival (UW-WSU, UO-OSU, etc...) then the answer is going to be ARIZONA. We consistently play to the largest crowd of the year on road trips. So ASU is going to say A...

Gabe is shooting 40.7% from three. If that is with him losing his shot, he will be Salim when he finds it, lol. Would be nice if he found his FT stroke. Hitting 65%, which isn't god awful but certainly could be better. I think he's missed his last 3 or 4 FT attempts...in critical situations vs. Gon...

The wear down. Knew it was coming when I saw Comanche and Simon in early. True. I think that's why Gonzaga had trouble finishing at the rim in the second half as well. Lots of teams look good early against Arizona. Not so much near the finish line. Dunn had a great final few minutes against us in A...

It's a shame Mike Wright or Gilbert didn't come back for one more year and improve their draft stock Don't worry about Gil, because he went in the second round he was able to get a much better second contract earlier than first round picks did. Wright wanted to come back and play the 3, but Lute sa...

The trouble with developing a big guy like Ristic is Arizona doesn't have the luxury to wait for a player to show results during games. You have to remind yourself of that. So many times you see upper classmen from other programs that are very skilled and quality players. I think, "man, if Arizona j...

Missouri is terrible. I'm sure Miller regrets this series. When it was signed, Mizzou was a halfway respectable program. On the bright side, if Allen's injury isn't serious, the timing is ideal. Hopefully he'll be healed up and ready for UNLV.

Correction on Douglas: Ruben's dad saw Arenas coming. Douglas wanted to stay at Arizona. There was a point where it was announced he was transferring and then he went to Lute and said he wanted to stay and the transfer was off, but in the end his dad won.
