They are ranked 9th on kenpom, I guess kenpom knows something. We are 16. Still don't understand how they are an 11 seed.

Thanks. How often do fans melt down and embarrass themselves when the team fights on after they give up?
No doubt the team is embarrassed too. Time to see if they can fight their way out of it!

Arizona is just not very good and WSU will not let up second half.

He has done it all year. The cast is die. York should be embarrased. Tarc needs to own the paint. Anderson needs to thank Miller for getting him to a tourney. Trier needs to look pretty for whomever.
This team is do non Sean Miller it is embarressing. I could get 5 guys at the recent who will run harder than them. WSU is more will then skill and Miller cares more about winning then these POS's.

Poor guard play and sloppy offensive riddled with turnovers, did anyone expect anything else.
Idk if Arizona slower methodical offense can come back from this, they're not built for this.

Well, not a "shocking" result. We have no effort. Where is this Anderson guy that pretty much carried us all season? Kadeem Allen plain SUCKS. We have no point guard and a weak defense. End of story. When you show up in the Dance with lack of effort and hustle combined with that, lights out. Saw this one coming. Who didn't?

Unfortunately I doubt the guard situation (especially PG) improves much next year. Kobi Simmons is more of an off-guard and I doubt PJC/KA improve their ball handling skills all that much in the off season. If Trier heads to the league as expected KSimmons will likely play at the small forward position. i do believe that Rawle Alkins will be somewhat of an improvement over Gabe as he has better handles and is physically bigger.

I didnt underestimate shit. We have poor point guard play, we have no ball movement, our only playmaker isnt having a great game, our post players are slow, we are lazy and complacent on offense, we have near minimal bench scoring, our guys effort is trash, we make dumb turnovers, and we fold when u throw pressure at us. Add a great defense and here u go.
Dont be scared though $100.
