Bear Down Wildcats

Yeah ASU owned us that year w Harden and Pendergrath. So did the Lopez twins at Stanford. I’m pretty sure we went 0-3 v the Tree that year.

I believe that was Bayless frosh year. Bayless , Budinger, and Hill and couldn’t go .500 in pac and 0-5 v Stanford and ASU. Great coaching KON lol.

This is all amazing. I'd be willing to bet my life machina is the rat. He would get insulted by something like that. Hence, his little feud with Miller If Hank reported it, he would have reported ahead of time and requested admins shut the entire site down pronto to make sure we got out ahead of th...

Watch the name calling. Also, to the snitch who ratted out the name calling, grow the fuck up. This is a message board for adults, sports fans, and, occasionally angry know it all fanatics. Want a safe space, find a corner and repeat “Sticks and stones” Is this about the comparison of Miller to Kev...

Feel free to move them to a specific thread. I would be more than happy to keep posting them in there. Just let me co-sign on your posts too Clip as I’m more a lurker and less a poster.

It’s all about matchups w PJC.

He is a great matchup v ASU and their quick little guards. Against bigger, expierienced guards who play mostly in the half court ..... not so much.

PennZona20

Love the big man. Add a couple more 3s for the assassin.

PennZona20

MFers act like they forgot about Dre .....

PennZona20

People bitching about Dusan, Trier, and even PJC (sometimes) are in for a rude awakening next year.

Really hope guys like Akot and Randolph can make the sophomore jump and i hope Jeter is ready to be a starting C.

PennZona20

I think we go 14-4 and win conf tourney.

PennZona20

If Rawle wants to start, Rawle gets to start ... and I’m willing to bet Rawle would rather start than come off the bench.

PennZona20

Yeah as weird as it sounds, tonight actually gave me more confidence this team can make a run. They attacked the zone well, missed a bunch of bunnies from 15, and a couple dudes for Wash played out of their minds. However, the one concerning thing is we don’t have a killer instinct. We have the pote...

PennZona20

I’d be ok if the continued soreness didn’t throw a red flag up. Is this something we are going to have to deal with in March? We can’t make a FF without Alkins.

PennZona20

If Rawle is out again ..... it’s going to be a dogfight.

PennZona20

No very true. I was community college - good at ball so i basically didn’t get much higher than HS in hoops when it came to being an alpha on the team but even at HS you saw it happen all the time. Like i said, I’m probably over analyzing, I’m sure both players just want to win, and Miller will get ...

PennZona20

I think the rumors last off-season of on-Court friction between Alkins and Trier has some truth to it. I saw Alkins look exasperated more than once at Trier missing him wide open. The most obvious was the fast break where Trier was 2 on 3 w Alkins slightly trailing on the camera side. He put his hea...

I love watching KU suffer too , but it should be noted that Texas Texh is legit this year. Like FF ceiling legit.

PennZona20

The one in the 2nd half where he blocked the shot was a joke for sure.

PennZona20

last night Alonzo Trier had 25 points on 6FG attempts - I just want to make sure that stat is on the boards Pretty damn efficient. He also rebounded well, had hs best passing game, played good on ball D, actually played decent off ball D, and even fought thru screens ok. It was the Trier we need to...

PennZona20

I’m pretty sure 26-5 (16-2) followed by at least a finals run in the PAC tourney will earn us at least a #2 seed out West.

I’d say to compete for a 1 seed we probably have to be somewhere around 30-4 going into the NCAA tourney.

PennZona20

We could very well be looking at a 3-4 seed even if we win the PAC.

PennZona20

We MIGHT , i repeat MIGHT be okay by March if everything falls into place, but if we don’t beat Purdue, we are looking at a very ugly non-conf strength of record and the PAC looks like ass. Only pleasant surprise is ASU. Everyone else looks worse than expected.

PennZona20

SMU had 23 more field goal attempts than we did. It's a really bad sign when you lose two in a row for basically the opposite reasons. This. And the worst part is .... they guy you would think would be dogging it the most (all everything Ayton) is the one playing the hardest. Trier On D tonight was...

PennZona20

Aaron Gordon is a really hard worker and has been putting in the work on his game. He’s also playing at the 4 as a smaller athletic 4 where he will thrive the most. The kid has always had a very high ceiling once the J was a weapon and he could focus on developing it. There’s a reason he went top 5 ...

PennZona20

we haven't won anything yet... We will. Trier is going to be a first team AA , likely POY, and Final Four most outstanding player. I said it from the moment he declared his intentions to return and nothing I have seen has changed my mind. His jersey will be in the rafters by the time it’s all said ...

^ lol thats awesome. When Zo was at 22 points I turned to my buddy and said Trier wants 30 again bad. He had been stuck on 20 forever. He got super pissed when he missed that FT and he was pissed walkin off the court w 28 when Miller pulled him for the night :lol: . Still think hes averaging 30 on ...

Don’t forget Shittu too. Fuck you Book!

PennZona20

“Relatively vital” is what I meant. Like 10-12 minutes per game.

His post competition will be Lee, ONeal, and maybe Akot.

It would and should have been those 3 + Bol, Shittu, And Little.

Man that was depressing to write. Fuck you Book!!!!

PennZona20

Safe to say some of those were the easiest buckets Pinder got in his life lol. Several great passes. Great passing team Very curious to see if that's the last we see of Pinder play this season. The plan going into the season was redshirt, I'm not sure if that's changed or not. If anything it’s more...

Certainly didn't know $150k was the going rate for a star player. I suspect others didn't either or they wouldn't have mocked other schools when they were caught with what looks like low-level violations compared to $150k -- loans, plane tickets, etc. What was the point of calling other schools/coa...

PennZona20

That's a strange "what if" scenario. But to keep it somehow rooted in reality, we'd have to trade a player of equal value, which means Lauri. No way I'd take Lonzo over Lauri on AZ last year. Neither would I. I'm just saying that I'd sell my soul to Lavar Ball for a ship. Nothing less. And then I'd...

PennZona20

Why not just cut ties with the Balls? They would save some face, open up roster spots for more deserving players, and avoid the shitstorm of negative attention coming their way over the next couple years. At this point Lavar is handling it for them, so why worry? Gelo can ride the pine and Melo can...

PennZona20

I doubt Smith will have any impact whatsoever on any wing recruit ever. O'Neal may think he's a wing, but he's a 4, so that's a non-issue as well. Your point on Randolph/Akot being in the way is valid, but Barrett would start over anyone though. The Little recruitment would be the one most likely i...

PennZona20

We definitely should have beat Memphis. Close game but we lead most the way. No doubt we stole the Texas game though. Duke was just a Herculean effort by DW to keep us in it first half and then everything clicked in the second half. We seemed like (and were) the better team w more momentum v UConn t...

PennZona20

Yeah. Or u slide Akot down to the 4 and play small to get the most talented 5 on the floor. Which u can do w Bol protecting the rim. It's fun to think about the possibilities w that much theoretical talent. If a guy like Little, ONeal, Jeter, or Lee are coming off the bench it is a wonderful problem...

PennZona20

Not for me. I would like: Quinerly Randolph Akot Open competition between Lee, Shareef and Jeter. Bol I see no reason to RS Pinder. Williams, Smith, any wing addition, and whoever the two losers of the PF competition are off the bench. Yeah. Assuming Akot is back and Randolph lives up to expectatio...

Ristic was probably an NBA player 5 years ago, but in the new NBA where a low post game doesn't matter nearly as much. ..... I don't see it. His lack of foot speed would be exploited so badly on pick n rolls it's horrible to think about. Still, he will make a nice living playing ball back in Europe...

Duke has the most talented parts for sure. Not sure they are the best team though. A lot of high maintenance kids on that team. College basketball is a team sport. Villanova didn't have the most NBA guys two years ago and UNC didn't last year. You need a blend of veteran and super talented youngster...

National Title mix just got a lot more interesting.

With all the Duke slurpers in the media we will probably be the preseason #2.

Bol and liddel would fill this team out nicely.

If he can just control that scorers mentality a little bit he's gonna be awesome. I don't understand that sentiment. Trier had a greater than 60% TS (second barely to Lauri) and had the third highest assist rate (rivaling Kadeem's). He posted a 127 ORtg. So he was arguably the most dangerous scorer...

Kid isn't lacking for confidence. If he can just control that scorers mentality a little bit he's gonna be awesome. Seems determined to go out the right way at UA.

Gonna be a fun year.
