Re: 2023-2024 Arizona Basketball
Clemson looks better to me, not just because they’re ahead but because they make fewer mistakes and don’t rely on one guy for offense. But…Clemson is not as fast/athletic as Baylor, so I’d love our chances of speeding Clemson up, turning them over and running them off the court. Could be Boswell’s r...

But we have a balanced scoring attack that most teams won’t be able to match. Also, Love will definitely have a break out game in this NCAA tou...

Boswell

Phillips
Stephen
Sanon
Krivas
Anderson
Martinez
That's already 10 names. I don't what to expect with Borovicanin, Veesaar, Murauskas or any of the other reserves.
