When your staring PG has four fouls and played like total shit.

Wasn't Larsson a PG for Utah?

One coach had his guys ready, one apparently didn’t. Still a believer in Tommy, but this one sucks.

Do you have any idea how many games he usually played in Europe? He seems to have hit a wall. I wonder if fatigue is an issue.

How so? Is anyone consistently playing well? I don’t see how that is coaching.
No emotion. Not a game for A Shuxksing the refs. Not really making quality adjustments. Not pulling the correct players early. Seems like the moment was too hig tonight.

You don’t suddenly become a different team now. Houston is exposing our player’s weaknesses IMO. They can’t handle ball pressure and that wasn’t changing. Sure sit Zu but is anyone stepping up behind him? I haven’t seen it.

How the hell is this team 33-3?

TheCat · Post by **TheCat** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:08 pm

At the start of the year I said I was holding Tommy to the same expectations as Sean. That was make the sweet sixteen which they did. This team exceeded all expectation I had for them in the PAC and the PAC 12 tourney.

Tommy needs to make some key changes in personnel through the portal. Or else, we're gonna see this same rerun every year.

CopaCat · Post by **CopaCat** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:09 pm

We are just not there mentally at this point. Houston just drained us like a zit.

pc in NM · Post by **pc in NM** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:09 pm

I’m gonna say it now, while I still am even-keeled…

Not one single player, or coach on this team should hang their head tonite if we don’t pull this one out! Period!!!

They’ve given all of us one of the most enjoyable seasons we could appreciate!!

And anyone who chooses to put even one of them down deserves to be righteously skullfucked!!!

BEAR THE FUCK DOWN!!!!

RawleArenas · Post by **RawleArenas** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:10 pm

Every deep tournament team plays a version of this defense

SabinoDrifter · Post by **SabinoDrifter** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:10 pm

I think the warts we had against TCU showed up again tonight against a much better team. And we have to remember CTM hasn’t been in Tucson for a year with a team he largely inherited from Miller.

RawleArenas · Post by **RawleArenas** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:11 pm

This is the second year CTL has been taken to the woodshed.

WildcatStunner · Post by **WildcatStunner** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:11 pm

I like how Houston drives the paint and gets to the line, but we are content to just swing it around and Chuck.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:12 pm

This was a hell of a fun year. We just could not figure out this Houston team

Same. Great season, but they played over their heads all season and playing too soft cost them tonight.

Like Lute complained about, the PAC refs teaches the UA to play soft, and soft teams lose in the tourney.

I really hope we didn't waste the perfect storm of a team with the defensive fundamentals of CSM combined with CTLs offense. I guess time will tell.

RaisingArizona · Post by **RaisingArizona** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:13 pm

I don't happen to think it's that "we weren't ready." They play a pretty unique style and we struggled to adjust. I'd like it if we tried to schedule a couple more of these rugged physical, defensive teams in the non conference. We did that with Tennessee but even they are a bit more uptempo.

84Cat · Post by **84Cat** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:14 pm

Yep, I love this team and this game won't change that. This is a disappointing loss but the future is bright with CTL. Hoping most of this team returns next season

phxcat23 · Post by **phxcat23** » Thu Mar 24, 2022 9:14 pm

Kerr getting hurt didn’t help but that isn’t the only problem. We have been getting pushed around the last 2 weeks and teams have started to figure us out. You have to play great to win a Natty and we’ve been sloppy. It’s just been a matter of time

We need some upgrades and guys who can lead with athleticism and toughness

If CTL doesn't tweak his recruiting and system, we'll always be a low ceiling tournament team.

Fuck. We just didn't play smart at all. Not enough passing, urgency, etc. Houston definitely played better than us. Good season. Definitely better than I expected. Will miss Benn.

Yes, but the game has changed. They almost got beat by UCLA. There's a reason no west coast team has won a natty in 25 years.

This is hilarious doomerism for a 1st year coach who took us to a sweet 16, cmon man
