Title: Zona players took it easy vs Princeton to save energy for bigger match-ups🙀
Post by: WILD on March 17, 2023, 07:47:59 PM
I'm hearing that the Arizona players didn't think they could possibly lose to Princeton and took it easy conserving their energy, just expecting to win. They were saving their energy for the tougher match-ups. The PAC12 tourney revenge tour and the hard fought emotional match-up with UCLA took its toll on the players.

I can't believe the players thought they could coast to a win. You've gotta treat every game like it's your last. So damn frustrating!

I believe it, they looked uninterested and disengaged the whole game. After winning a big game they always had the let down because they felt entitled for whatever reason. I.e. Maui and losing to Utah. They act like the job was done after each tournament (Pac-12 and Maui). Great season, shit ending. Hopefully we get the core back and Boswell can get more playing time because his step back jumper is lethal!

What the heck?

I question the IQ of this team.

Lucky them. They have all the energy now to do other things besides basketball.

Far be it for me to ruffle any feathers around here, but you would be far better off exploring the swirling rumors of Arizona's match fixing more than thinking that this team just didn't think they had to play hard to win a game.

And while I think everyone on this forum who is political is pissing in the wind; literally everyone who loves to dump on Joe Biden on this forum would be a complete hypocrite to not at least acknowledge the possibility.
