#5 on smu is abusing us

Getting killed on the offensive glass. We hold them to a bad shooting % but can't rebound for shit.

It's raining 3s

Jeez

Can anyone watching tell us if we are contesting the 3s?

Very poor defense on all fronts. We look like shit.

Fuck this game.

RondaeShimmy · Post by **RondaeShimmy** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:44 pm

Ristic & Smith shouldn't be starting I know that

Horrible 2nd half start

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:45 pm

Miller must give the worst half time speeches to come out so flat again in the 2nd half.

Down 7, yikes.

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:45 pm

PnR defense again getting wrecked. Take out Parker and bring in Akot and switch the PnR, not hard. Then we wouldn't be in closeout situations all the time, you know the hardest situation for defenses.

CatMG · Post by **CatMG** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:46 pm

Hard to believe with as talented as this team is that it looks like Miller's worst team he has ever had. Can't rebound or defend...at all.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:46 pm

The Cats just aren't a very good basketball team right now. They don't deserved to be ranked. I think there were too many stars in their eyes and they thought things would come easy. There isn't any chip on their shoulders and they are getting embarrassed.

RondaeShimmy · Post by **RondaeShimmy** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:47 pm

Plz sean, don't ever put Lee and pinder on the floor at the same time

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:49 pm

No excuse for this travesty, not even the freshman one, after all the extra practices the UA was allowed to have this year due to the Spain trip.

There are a couple other combos that should be banned.

What happened to Trier's free throw shooting? He used to be almost money from the line.

Enter the Heroball

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:53 pm

Hard to play with a chip on your shoulder if you don't execute fundamentals.

Going 1 on 4 and 1 on 3 will not win any games.

This team is soft

dmjcat · Post by **dmjcat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:53 pm

We have NO perimeter defense....................Where is Alkins/Kadeem? ..Oh Wait.

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:53 pm

Idk if this is Miller or the players but we keep helping on the ball side shooter, which is the easiest way to give up threes.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:54 pm

Going to be a lot of L's this season if this level of play continues.

1 timeout left with thirteen to play..

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:56 pm

If you need elite NBA defenders to have a good defense, are you actually a good coach?

RiseAndFire · Post by **RiseAndFire** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:56 pm

surprise surprise another mediocre team with a simple ZONE defense shuts down Miller. zzzzzzzz. another wasted top 5 class so far

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:58 pm

Are these PAC refs? TWEET TWEET TWEET

TatetheGreat · Post by **TatetheGreat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 8:59 pm

The next time we dig ourselves out of a nine point hole will be the first time

These refs have sucked the whole game...for both sides

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:00 pm

Are our offensive sets even leading to an open shooter?

zonagrad · Post by **zonagrad** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:01 pm

Smith must be a helluva practice player because I've yet to see anything in the games that indicates he's should be getting quality minutes. He doesn't make shots, he doesn't create shots for others and his defense has been timid and late.

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:01 pm

No, not really but they do have a really good d. Number3 in points allowed

Now it's becoming evident that you don't actually know what a zone is. Because they ain't playing one. Like, not for one second this game

Barcello has been awful in both games. Not ready for the bright lights.

SCCats · Post by **SCCats** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:05 pm

Turnovers

Arizona 15, SMU 5

C'mom, guys, keep grinding!

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:05 pm

Barcellos is Oh fer Bahamas.

So much for the best shooter on the team

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:07 pm

Akot needs more time. I don't care right now how hard he practices. Let's win this game

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:09 pm

Oh shit

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:09 pm

Arizona's intensity has really ratcheted up and they are playing their best basketball this tourney.

Merkin · Post by **Merkin** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:09 pm

Why was that not an intentional foul? No attempt at the ball, he pulled his arm down

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:10 pm

This is the lineup we should run mostly until Rawls gets back.

PJC, Trier, Akot, Ponder, and Ayton. Take out PJC when Rawle gets back.

dovecanyoncat · Post by **dovecanyoncat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:10 pm

Knotted!

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:10 pm

Tie game with 9 to go

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:11 pm

13-0 run. The Cats are focused now. That was a blazing fast run.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:11 pm

Lead!

Lavender was the best shooter too.
Never really showed in games until year 4

RondaeShimmy · Post by **RondaeShimmy** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:11 pm

Don't let the defense set and good things happen on offense

SunnyAZ · Post by **SunnyAZ** » Thu Nov 23, 2017 9:11 pm

Pinder has been really good on the weakside of the defense.
