Cal's AD got played. Should've called his bluff. Sonny hasn't done anything exceptional except win a few games with a really good QB.

carolinacat

I don't share the optimism for this season, especially with Tarc's return uncertain and Ryan Anderson nursing a bad wheel. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to see us drop a game (or two) at home. Oregon/UCLA are possibilities. Roadies at Colorado, Cal, UCLA, USC & ASU are all gonna be tough. Lotta m...

Gene was redshirting in the '99-'00 season (student teaching kindergarten I believe). And Jefferson injured his foot on the Stanford trip and missed several weeks.
Had we not lost to Wisconsin in the second round that year, we would've played a rematch with LSU in the Sweet 16.

carolinacat

Depends on the year. Started as AZ vs UCLA then it moved to AZ vs Stanford, then AZ vs UDub then it was AZ vs CU, then it was AZ vs Oregon and probably for a few years AZ vs Cal. I only notice one consistency in that equation Yep. Check the attendance figures closely over the last two decades and y...

There is no way Trier is as good as Valentine by next year. If he is we are gonna be elite if we get JJ. Valentine is unreal every game they have played this year. He's a monster. Right now it's him and Ben Simmons for POTY. If we can get that from Trier next year we will be in for a fun ride. But ...

They're not winning @Gonzaga or vs. UNC. Heh. Not so sure about that one. Trap game tonight for the Zags and they barely pulled out a W against Montana. Trailed with a minute to play and needed an offensive rebound to regain the lead. Very fortunate indeed. Is it possible that Gonzaga is not as goo...

I don't think it's hating on Gonzaga but rather the general treatment they always seem to get from the national media. They're darlings to everyone and always overrated. Yes, they have talent. And yes, they've had some marginally decent teams over the last 15 years. What irks me about their program...

I'd argue that Butler, VCU & Wichita State have been better mid-major programs. And their conference competition is far tougher that Gonzaga's. Gonzaga gets past the first round of the NCAA's easily because they're continuously over-rated and thus, overs-eeded (IMO). They're put in the same convers...

Why do I get the feeling that the entire NFL is gonna pass up Scoobie in the first two rounds and Belichick is gonna snap him up just like he did Bruschi?

Only in America can you come to work drunk in a job you already aren't qualified for and then claim victim when you get fired.

Hopefully Trier will stick around long enough for Arizona to enjoy the fruits of his talent. By his junior or senior year, he could be an All-America type player. You see what Valentine is doing for Michigan State and wonder why Arizona never has such a dominating player: the reason is they always j...

You see a foul prone guy in the restricted area and an open lane. Sabonis is still moving into position, then takes a quick hop before jumping, all after Gabe starts his gather. We don't like the end result and the tomahawk attempt made it look much worse, but he took it up strong and that is going...

Thats not a ton of money. Wonder how much they would of/did offer RR.. I would bet a pretty fair sum they offered the exact same deal they offered Muschamp, and that is why he's back. SC "What is it going to take to get you in Columbia, Rich?" RR "Not a penny less than $4M per over 5 years, cover m...

carolinacat

If I was RR, I'd be gun shy about having a job search and interviews so transparent for public consumption. All it does is hurt your image as "Arizona's coach." It certainly can't help his recruiting efforts to Arizona. Or his reputation with his current players. Or the fans. This is "bird in the ha...

carolinacat

Stunned at the lack of discussion about this game. Great fucking victory in a very tough environment. I was near a bunch of Arizona fans. Surprised at how many were there. Bear down, baby. Tarc out. Anderson hobbled. Down 14. Seemingly no answer for Wiltjer. Miller recognizes the weakness of the Za...

Reminded me of our comeback against Kansas in 2003. Obviously the point swing wasn't as dramatic, but I thought our grit and determination not to lose was even better. True non-conference road wins against top-15 competition are worth gold come March. Great win! I was at the Kansas game in '03. Nic...

carolinacat

Great effort. Props to York (who I've been consistently down on) for stepping up like a leader and knocking down shots. Win or lose, I was impressed that we didn't roll over and showed a ton of fight. We battled for loose balls and 50/50 rebounds. Nice. If I was Gonzaga, I'd be demoralized. You have...

carolinacat

As bad as Wiljer & Sabonis are schooling us, if we could make some open shots it would be a tight game.

One three point make in the half. One.

carolinacat

Gabe York may've been a little overrated out of HS. Either that, or he just hasn't developed very much. A role player. Shouldn't be starting on a good team. Not good enough. The fact that he's starting for Arizona says a lot about our roster right now. Agreed. Talent this year just isn't where it h...

Ugly basketball.

Other than Trier, we don't have anyone who can take the ball to the basket and create shots. Allen? Maybe. York, Pitts, PJC, Simon? Forget it.

carolinacat

Sadly, I don't think Gonzaga is that great a team. Says a lot about us.

Terribly disappointed in guys like Pitts, PJC, Allen, & York. Guys are playing tentative. No confidence.

carolinacat

So Sabonis & Wiltjer are Gonzaga's entire team. How about we pressure the shiit out of the perimeter and force Gonzaga's other players to make some shots? Those 2 guys have proven they can school our guys guarded 1 on 1 in the paint. So let's try something different and double them.

carolinacat

7-26 from the floor.

carolinacat

We can't shoot. Pitts, Trier, York, Allen. Why do people say they are good shooters. In practice? Maybe. Games, never.

Dorsey committed before the coaches decided if they really wanted him over a few others at his position. So we wanted Trier over Dorsey? He certainly seems to be putting up good numbers at Oregon. Better than numbers than Trier (if that's the case). That has zero relevance to me this early in their...

carolinacat

On the subject of recruiting, what exactly happened to Dorsey and him de-committing and going to Oregon? He committed to Miller before Trier, no? Did Dorsey leave because Trier was coming here? Or because of Allen & PJC? Is it me, or does it just seem like Arizona has recruited some malcontents who ...

Vegas just handled Oregon at home. Gonna be a tough test, especially with Tarc out. Home crowd really gonna be needed. We're gonna drop some road games this year...probably more than we should. But this team is gonna need the McKale faithful to really pick them up. This is an underdog team this year...

I won't dispute any of the football recruiting info. You guys seem to be following developments fairly close. But over the years my expectations about recruits and individual player talents have been lifted by what I read, yet when I see them on the field I'm terribly disappointed. Jeff Worthy was p...

carolinacat

We've got bodies to rebound. And our guards (Trier & Allen) are tough on the glass. Unless Gonzaga's guards are way better than advertised, I don't think this game is as one sided as people think. Foul trouble is gonna play a big role. If Anderson gets in trouble, we're toast. But I like what I've s...

Is Jackson the only recruit Miller is banking on for the spring or are there other players as well? If Jackson goes elsewhere, does that mean Miller will only have one player (Markannen) in the class or does he pick up a role player or two? Kind of rolling the dice on this springtime decision. Looks...

Enough love for the job he has done? And what exactly is "the job he has done" in his time there? This what, year 3? And he has gotten them back this season to about to where they were toward the END of Tedford's tenure, after shitting the bed for 2. He's got some Chutzpah, and he is a good offensi...

Philly doesn't have guys who can make shots. If they did, McConnell's assists would be even higher. If Philly goes another direction and thinks they need more of a scorer (which they probably do because everyone else sucks) I'm sure plenty of other NBA GMs' have taken notice. If you don't need point...

Sean Miller must release the hounds this weekend!!!!! Nothing to lose (other than a non-conference road game). Lots to gain. Knowing we're shorthanded should take the pressure off. This is a great opportunity for Comanche, Simon, Trier & Allen. Ristic too. They're a talented bunch that need to be ab...

Throughout the 80's, Arizona pulled a lot of diamonds in the rough out of the Phoenix area...guys who were overlooked by ASU or at least not heavily pursued: Waldrop & Byron Evans to name a few.

I think Allen & Trier have the makings of good defensive players. Maybe not necessarily stoppers, but certainly athletic, strong and quick enough to check just about anyone on the floor no bigger than 6'6". In fact, the more I watch Allen, the more I'm reminded of Kevin Parrot. Allen is a bit smalle...
