Bear Down Wildcats

DWWD apparently no longer means "anytime, anywhere." With that letdown in scheduling, the program has undeniably become less and less competitive nationally. It’s actually our scheduling that’s keeping us a lock for the tourney. Yes, this team has been fortunate this season to be playing in a resur...

He played good defense and when Prichard drove to the right they built a wall. That is how the final shot took place. Couldn't control the block, offensive rebound, dish , score game over accept for two missed free throws. Though he gave great effort. Prichard was not going to be denied. Pritchard ...

Nnaji, Koloko and Brown. Best front court in the country? Stay for 2 Zeke! Oh man. Can you imagine? That would be like Tucson Skyline 2.0 Zeke is gonzo. Yes he is, and thanks for the memory NOT! That LSU game where Shaq destroyed the Tucson Skyline was the one that made me hate Dick Vitale forever....

Because he can't shoot 4's.

I'm wondering if he can even shoot 2's at this point.

I DVR every game. Home games I watch starting about 25 minutes after tip off so I can fast forward through the commercials and halftime. Road games I check the score at halftime and decide whether I want to watch at all. That strategy didn’t do a fucking thing for me last week against ASU but it us...

That's my dad talking right there. I started out as a classroom teacher that way. A few jobs later, and I realize--and fully accept--that I have had to evolve significantly since then, if my students were going to be successful. This is not an attitude that shows faith in your recruits, much less wi...

Kerr was the starting PG alongside SG Craig McMillan his junior and senior seasons, after the graduation of Brock Brunkhorst and the transfer of Michael Tait. Every time this topic comes up, Lute's voice rings in my ears from "Memories '88" (with Dana Cooper): "Before that change, if I heard it once...

Damn is right. They'd all still be alive now if just one person in the group insisted on driving. It's the grief talking, maybe. But like with so many aviation accidents in bad weather, this could've been averted if people hadn't insisted on rushing things. Nobody HAS to be ANYwhere on a Sunday. Tha...

Miller is absolutely micromanaging away his career in Tucson, if not the program's pre-eminent status in the West. I think we all are figuring out that answer to why Miller is the only top-five recruiter in the game never to get to a Final Four. What is inexplicable is how he keeps pulling the top t...

Lavin is a good guy. Watched him since he made the move from UCLA into the studio. Smartest CBB coach since Al McGuire. Try getting through a game on ESPN listening to Vitale, Dan Dakich or that chicken-fried putz Jimmy Dykes, and you'll be on your knees willing to do literally ANYthing to hear Lavi...

All four final four teams last year had multiple double digit losses. So one bad game doesnt mean anything This was a road sweep we just went through. They both are Ls in the record books, whether it was "one bad game" or two. And this team doesn't have the resume or the mettle to sniff a Final Fou...

Ugh. Yet another game where they have a career game against us. And what happened to our shooting? I thought we were supposed to be a great shooting team this year. The pack line, while fundamentally sound, doesn't disrupt anything. It allows your opponents to get comfortable in their halfcourt set...

Hey now, did you see OrSU shoot the ball in the 2nd half? unstoppable nobody could have beaten them in the 2nd half tonight As much as I have reformed my opinion of Dick Tomey over the years, your facetious post, POM, brought back far too many flashbacks to the football call-in shows after losses i...

Losing a six-point lead late at Oregon was not a "valiant effort"--it was a harbinger. And after Choo's latest post, I take no pleasure in having been proved right. I am, conversely, the most apprehensive I have ever been for the future of Arizona basketball. Apprehensive??? I would use the word te...

Down 18 now and still no press. Nobody's bringing their talent to this game tonight besides maybe Nnaji

This is Buffalo and Wichita State and where Miller loses me all over again. When you get outcoached by Wayne Tinkle, you need to look in a f*cking mirror.

It's called moving without the ball. Perhaps somebody should see how easily it actually does break down a zone.

There's going to be no good way to spin this L if nothing changes--like a press, maybe?

That Oregon team ain’t shit. They’re a senior point guard and some other dudes. For reference here’s what a good Oregon lineup looks like (2015)-Brooks, Dorsey, Bell, Boucher, Ennis, Benjamin...etc. I’m done with excuses. This team was supposed to compete for a final four. They better. A-freaking-m...

Had to attend a work function and couldn’t watch the game tonight. Sounds like we came out strong but made some critical mistakes down the stretch. We narrowly missed defeating a top 10 team on the road, so that doesn’t suck. But like I’ve been saying all week, even if we now start racking up wins ...

Yup. You’re an idiot Not as much as you'll be when you wake up in the morning and look at this last post. You absolutely have no clue WTF you are talking about.

Thank you, TucsonClip. As far as I am concerned, your post hit the nail on the head. Especially designing better sets--for Zeke AND for others--but ESPECIALLY, especially, getting back to imposing our will on opponents when we have the advantage.

I love the Miller hate. some times players have to make plays. There’s always an excuse, ain’t there? It’s what we do. Make excuses.

This team does not know how to take control of games and win them. A common problem in this 21st-century, maturity-challenged sport, but one this program has recruited too much talent to keep falling prey to. Eventually, the Cats need to be a possession team and execute solid Xs and Os plays. Our ta...

Which we have only just recently seen from Miller. We never used to.

It's like he's letting the pressure get in his head worse than his players.

The only reason I think it is unwise, for the foreseeable future, to advocate moving on from Miller is the simple fact that everyone in this AD right now not a booster would undoubtedly bungle the new hire--as Livengood did with Mackovic.
