It would be kind of awesome to have Tommy and Sean win back to back NCOY

At least during the 2022-3 season, I imagine X will make a further run than UA during the NCAAs.

Probably true. How are their guards? Ours are soft as a feather pillow.

Haven't seen X play, but apparently their PG is quite a player.

His team leads the nation in a sister per game. We are #2 I think.they are #5 in adjusted offense and top 20 I think in adjusted defense. They are a real contender for the FF

Posted: **Mon Jan 16, 2023 3:49 pm**

If we can't get to the FF this year (and it looks very doubtful at this point), I really hope Miller gets there.

Same. The ceiling for this UA team is probably S16, based on matchups in the first 2 rounds if they are unathletic, and don't have a domineering big. Which could put them out the first weekend if they do.

Sean identified their point guard from a previous team when they played Arizona and he was able to score against us. Forgot where he transferred from to X.

Shades of TJ. He played against us and Sean got him on a transfer.

Wouldn't it be our karmic fate as Wildcat fans that Miller's first FF is with Xavier the first year coaching after being screwed out of coaching for us?

Yes it would but tbh that man deserves a FF visit as he worked his ass off trying to get us there and he always said the standard measurement for our program is and should always be reaching the FF.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2023 8:44 am**

This Xavier team is really good on both ends of the floor. They will be a very hard out in the tourney.

Miller is an outstanding evaluator of talent. He would make a great NBA GM. His ability to find a roster that works each year is amazing.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2023 11:40 am**

I know they'll put Xavier in our bracket, but I really hope they wont so I can fully root for him to get that Final 4 he deserves. The man has paid his dues and then some.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2023 2:23 pm**

I think they will also put the Zags in our bracket.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2023 7:50 pm**

Good, can we not have Alabama in our bracket? I'll take X and the Zags over Bama.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2023 9:12 pm**

We're getting TCU in our bracket for sure. After the overtime thriller and the controversy that followed the game last year, it's pretty much set in stone.

Posted: **Sat Jan 21, 2023 10:19 pm**

TCU or Houston are not the teams I want to see.

UConn came storming back in the second half. 3 point game with a few seconds left.

Yea, I almost jinxed it. Forgot about that but glad they held on. They never trailed the whole 40 minutes

Think the vibe with Xavier is just completely different. While Xavier's a proud program with a respectable history, they're not Arizona. The pressure and expectations at AZ are a lot, and for the most part, Sean handled all of it masterfully. He's an excellent coach, and in spite of the smear campaign that cost him the AZ job, he's also a consummate professional. He's a winner. At Xavier, he's now a big fish in a small pond. He's not supposed to be a top 10 team in year one back there, and yet, there he is. Quietly going about his business, savoring the chance of knocking out some "name" programs in this year's tourney. If we actually do face Xavier in the tourney, it'll be the first time I've ever felt conflicted about rooting for AZ. I'd never root against my alma mater, of course, but I'll always be happy when Sean Miller succeeds. He has my respect.

Posted: **Thu Jan 26, 2023 5:41 am**

If we face Xavier in the Tourney I fully expect our crowd to give him a long standing ovation, one that brings CSM to tears.

He deserves it and he should know (which he probably does) how the fanbase feels about him still and also how we feel about what happened to him that led to his firing.

My sentiments exactly. I'd never intentionally pull for our Wildcats to lose, however, I would consider an Arizona tourney loss to Xavier a "good" loss because CSM will always be a Wildcat. If Arizona doesn't make it all the way to the end, I'd rather it be a family member who clipped our wings.

That's one of the most fucked up things I've ever read on these boards!

Arizona is a better team than Xavier, and will have a higher seed in the tourney. In no way would that be a "good loss"! WTF!!!

Sure, if such a disaster did occur, I'd gladly support CSM moving forward, while I continued to bemoan a bad tourney exit!!!

Posted: **Fri Jan 27, 2023 11:59 am**

If we face Xavier in the tourney, right now, it would probably be a Sweet 16 match-up. ESPN has Arizona a 2 seed and Xavier a 3 seed. CBS currently has us as the last #1 seed, and Xavier a 4 seed. Somehow, I don't think the committee matches us up with Xavier until a possible Elite 8. That would be quite the story line if we both make it. Who gets to the Final Four first? Miller, or his former team in Arizona?

I too will also be rooting for Miller. Not only is there less pressure at Xavier versus Arizona, Miller is a better coach today than he was five years ago. He's learned how to attack zone defenses, and his team isn't locked in 100% playing the pack-line D too. Miller was already a very good coach before, but now, I think he's taken his game to another level. And had he stayed at Arizona, we would be the beneficiaries. Instead, we got Tommy, who has proven to be, so far, just as good.

Yeah.....most forecast have us as a number 2 seed and X as a 3. That shows how much better folks think we are. Xavier is doing this with a team that did not make the tourney last year and we are doing it with some players from a 1 seed. We are very happy with our new coach and Xavier should be happy with theirs. I hope we meet in the final four.

I'm not so sure on this part. I think the time off did Sean a world of good and really revitalized his mindset. I don't think he'd be the coach he is now if he didn't have that break.

I have to say: it's actually rare that officiating impacts a game to the degree it did in Xavier/Creighton today. It takes multiple refs having bad days (or just multiple bad refs assigned to the game). But it's a shame when this happens.

Posted: **Sat Jan 28, 2023 3:12 pm**

I smiled when CSM got a Tech in his usual quiet way. Had some passing words to ref going down the court.

I never said I would be happy with Arizona losing. Yes, Arizona is better than Xavier. It would be heartbreaking if they did not reach the FF and I am offended by your implication that I would even venture down that path. As I have said before, I bleed Cardinal and Navy. I always have and will until the day I die.

With that said, I would be good with them losing to a team whose coach gave his all to the Wildcats for 12 years. Arizona will ALWAYS be my #1. There is always a 2nd in life though. If your #1 doesn't make it across the finish line, would you rather it be your #2 taking them out or someone who you despise? If Arizona was going to lose and there was no way to prevent it, would you rather see Kentucky and Calipari or Kansas and Self beat them instead of Xavier and CSM? If so, then you are just a CSM hater and I can see where you are coming from. I get it. Either you like or hate him. I am not a hater.

Miller was loyal to the school. So much so that it cost him his job. I think he did everything he could to keep Arizona relevant in college hoops during his tenure. He deserves his shot.

My response to your post had nothing to do with Miller, as I said. I like CSM - I think he had to leave, and in fact, is better for it. I will continue to follow and support him.

My point is that a loss to Xavier, in the tourney or anytime, actually, would not in any way conceivable be a "good loss"!!! Period.

"good" as in not the best, but could be a helluva lot worse. That is what I meant by it. My example in the 2nd paragraph of my response. Losing to Kansas or Kentucky would piss me off to no end because I despise both coaches and think that the teams are overhyped year in year out. Losing to Xavier would be better than losing to those two because it would be easier to swallow. Not much easier because it is still a loss, but still, the bitter taste might fade away faster.

I don't know how else to explain it. I am not all or nothing kind of person. There is always a gray area. Sometimes you have to venture in there.

Maybe you should follow your own advice and do fellatio for each person you try to convince to buy Arizona football season tickets.
