Clay Travis is one of the biggest morons on earth. He probably has blood on his hands based off of how he created his little “it’s just the flu” following that he never backs down from. Even though every other first world country with competent leadership has handled it way better than us. Clay Trav...

Wow. What was Loren Woods wingspan?

Some site had Loren’s wingspan at 89.5”, just about 7’5”.

So true. Makes it easy to spot the simpletons.

I don’t know how Hazzard can have any different role. He’s undersized and not a great defender. Did he expect to start at Arizona? This isn’t the Big West Conference where you’re guarding other guys who are 5’10”. He is what he is: a good shooter who can’t guard. Haha yea I hate this situation if i...

pokinmik

Haha trout can definitely hit some 350 yard bombs off the tee.

pokinmik

That would be nice. Definitely possible. It’s so painful to think if we just held on versus Oregon and AsU we’d be ranked top10 right now with a 4-2 road record.* Oh well just keep notching victories. *other teams could definitely say this too and maybe we wouldn’t have learned some painful lessons ...

pokinmik

Last night continued the theme of not getting any loose balls either. Probably some lack of hustle and bad luck but mostly basketball IQ and positioning. I’m sick of making excuses for players that maybe aren’t all that good. Hopefully it was just a dogshit road trip we can forget about and reel off...

pokinmik

Another question: if the benchmark for success is a top 3 Pac finish and a S16, what the hell kind of team do we need in order to raise that benchmark? I mean, we have three first round picks, experienced upperclassmen, some good role players, bench depth, etc. Granted, this is not Miller’s best ro...

pokinmik

Yea in a sane world all three of our stud freshman would return for their sophomore years. I watch the nba every night and none of them would be close to getting playing time right now outside of mop up duties down 20 with 3min left. I’d say green and zeke are closer than Nico right now. Green and ...

pokinmik

For everyone who says UA and Miller suck now. What has been the issue this year? Why arent the Cats good in your opinion? They have talent. They shoot well. They move the ball well. The rebound well at times. They defend well. They take care of the ball most games. So what is the issue? Other than ...

pokinmik

How about his touch around the rim, lmao. I’ve never seen a D1 player chuck a ball against the backboard so many times like that. He legit has zero basketball skills. He should go to bed every night thanking god he is 7 feet tall and got an education out of it.

pokinmik

If you’re gonna give up layups and dunks and wide open threes your offense better not miss either you gotta match shots. Tonight nobody in blue was making shit. Classic blowout.

pokinmik

Might give up 60 in the second half

pokinmik

Lol this team blows. Slaughtered second half

pokinmik

Good Morning everyone, I am just devastated and don’t know what to do so I figured sharing here might help. My 64yo step father was admitted to the hospital in PHX a few days ago for not feeling well and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Still waiting on official results back regarding serverit...

pokinmik

Nico takes tournament MVP avg'ing 16 and 7 (with the game winner to boot). Chase and Dylan both make the All Tournament team. They're joined by AJ Brodeur of Penn and Olivier Sarr of Wake Forest. I know Green didn't score well tonight but he's my MVP of the tournament for Arizona. Winning plays, al...

Great win!

pokinmik

I loved the cardinals draft. Obviously it’s awful to lose such value with a top10 pick in Rosen, but as mentioned above a plan is in place now. And if Isabella is a stud it’ll minimize that value loss. The offense should be legit as long as Murray is the real deal.

pokinmik

If AZ has a hot few years we can get into the top10 for wins soon. Re: AZ and Miller, definitely have to keep plugging along and ignoring the hearsay. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from politics in the past couple years, no matter what you do it’ll blow over eventually. And often it’ll blow ove...

pokinmik

AZ interested in Max Hazzard from UCI?

pokinmik

I understand we are pretty loaded on the wing but I guess nobody is expecting much from Armstrong? Or is it just a be pleasantly surprised if he excels quicker than expected type thing? Granted most videos recruits look good but he seems to have some real size and athleticism and attacks the basket ...

pokinmik

It’s crazy that Akot was rated so highly out of high school. He’s just another fendi onobun type player that looked the part but can’t ball. Kinda sucks for this year’s team solely because he was another athletic body to throw out there, but I doubt we miss him going forward.

pokinmik

Thank you very much guys. Your kind words and positive thoughts mean more than you can ever know.

Sorry to everyone going thru this tough situation with their animals recently. One of the hardest things in life to go through. It really sucks and no words do justice to the various feelings you have to recognize/face/absorb and somehow keep life moving.

pokinmik

Lol this is a disgrace

pokinmik

The DUI is awful and unacceptable. I’m sure the school will do what is right and give him the proper punishment ...he’ll deserve every bit of it. But lol at machina belaboring the National implications and reputation damage to the program. I’m pretty sure barely anybody knows who Ira Lee is. This is...

pokinmik

Good for you Newport.

I gave up all fantasy sports like 3-4 years ago and haven’t missed it one bit. It was a major relief and freed up my time for my family and exerciseetc... aka reality.

pokinmik

Loved the suns draft. You can never have too many long athletic wings. Bridges has a 7’ wingspan! Just watched Okobo highlights and he can def shoot the 3 w a quick release. Then add in Ayton as a pure monster down low w his array of moves and dunking power. Aytons mobility is excellent picking up s...

pokinmik

Yea I was gonna say maybe it just boils down to our players not being that good. This isn’t college ball from 20 years ago. Even mid majors have some freak athletes nowadays. Ayton is excluded from everything I’m about to say but are any of our players from this year really that lengthy or overly at...

pokinmik

There is real weight to this now. Pretty much undeniable these aren’t great systems for the tourney. Need to be able to adapt more.

pokinmik

Seems like a lot of people are justifying NBA hate with old stereotypes. I might’ve even agreed on some of them a random amount of years ago. But right now the league is great. Up and down pace, they make more shots at a higher degree of difficulty than college players do, and leads are never safe. ...

pokinmik

Insanity. Larry Scotts are what is wrong with America.

pokinmik

Honestly, I sort of like that nucleus going forward. Lee and Akot seem like hard workers with some athleticism and defensive potential. This year, the basic things like effort and intensity were our issues, not talent level. We lose talent, but I think we can gain in effort, intensity and toughness...

pokinmik

Miller is gone. There is no way that Arizona either keeps him or that he'd even want to stay at this point. Top five scorers departing and zero committed recruits. Very similar to the end of the Howland era, where rumors were swirling that Howland was dirty and then the team of highly rated freshme...

pokinmik

Yea I knew it was over when every time we took a small lead we’d give up an easy bucket almost immediately. Did not match their aggression whatsoever. It was all on the perimeter too. It was across the board, IMO. They went after us all night and we never once dug our heels in and backed them down....

Never thought I’d see the day Pitt went from zero chance to possibly/maybe/likely! Oh well

Thx Newport

pokinmik

Yea we HAVE to have a tough PG. Losing to wichita, Xavier, buffalo made that REAL clear. McConnell was tough as nails, those teams were loaded and for them it really was unlucky finishes. We cannot say the last few cat teams were unlucky, they just weren’t tough enough especially in the backcourt. M...

That’s a good plan JS. Enjoy.

CBB > NBA still. Wake me up when you cant pick the NBA finals matchup every preseason and stars stop being little bitches and joining their friends to form super teams. Honestly, it's kind of the same in CBB. I only prefer college hoops because of UA and the shorter games/season. Haha good point, i...

The older I get and now with a youn family of my own, the more I realize having any passion and fandom for any professional/college team is fairly stupid. Literally has no impact on 99.9% of our lives. Sure there are some ups and downs and you feel good or bad sometimes, but end of the day your life...

NBA is spectacular. The talent is through the roof. And maybe I enjoy it more since I have no real skin in the game. Can simply sit back and enjoy watching the best athletes in the world.

I didn't feel like we were down 15, if anything, with how good Buff plays in the first, and how not as good they are in the second and how we are slow to start and then pick it up, I thought we had the advantage. Well, oh well. No shit, same here. We’ve been a second half team most of the year I wa...
