That is just awesome. The Awe Shucks Assassin gets why International players buy in to the team concept and I’m assuming that will be a point of emphasis in future recruiting.

If you want to come to Arizona here’s the deal…

I like the Genius as well and have been trying to combine the two but "The Genius Awe Shucks Assassin" just doesn't roll off your tongue.

IIRC Lloyd said his first filter with respect to recruits was character. Talent without character can score points but it eventually undermines the team culture.

I don't tend to leave my house during March Madness.

I also generally ignore my family members on these days

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Sat Mar 19, 2022 12:37 pm

I was telling my friends last night before our game that in reality I only had two goals I wanted to see this team achieve:

Being the second #2 seed to lose to a #15, I didn’t want to be the second #1 to lose to a #16.

And I didn’t want to be the first #1 to lose.

Mission accomplished x2. Everything from here on out is gravy.

Step one: reply “I’ve kept you around For more than 3 days.”
Step two: find a nice apartment

Irish or anyone, need a GIF of that TCU fan's reaction to Koloko's last dunk. Hands on head and mouth open. Classic.

My wife and I lost our voices long ago.

Mathurin, Koloko, all of em...what an unbelievable team we have, guys.

If they don't win another game in this tournament, their legend will live forever.

Bring on Houston!

BTFD!

Wish I could buy you all a round right now!!!

Lampkin going off was giving me horrid flashbacks of Fulkerson on tenn having the game of his life. I checked Lampkins game log and this was easily the game of his life also. Very odd. But happy both those bastards are on the couch now.

Even if the Cats lose in the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8 this has been an amazing season. No one ever expected 33-3 heading into the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. The foundation has definitely been set for the future.

With that being said, let's go out and in the words of the immortal Jake Taylor, "Win the whole...fuckin...thing."

Because of the lack of sportsmanship, or perceived lack of sportsmanship at the end of the game, my guess is Arizona is going to be the most hated team in the country.

Also, what is this story about Mathurin touching a TCU cheerleader? I didn’t see it, but I’m assuming it was an accident. An accident over which every Texan will be clutching their pearls, I’m sure.

A total accident and it’s not even apparent that he touched her because she didn’t move a muscle.

TCU fans are crying rape and want Mathurin and his stats retroactively wiped from last night’s game so they can move on to the Sweet Sixteen.
