BEARDOWN!!!

I am pleasantly surprised.

Seems like the right time to rehash this.

The Arizona Fandom Cycle:

1) Still upset about t. lloyd's early exit in March
2) Get upset at players leaving in portal
3) Get a big time transfer or recruit
4) Win big non-conference game
5) Top 5 ranking (<-- YOU ARE HERE)
6) Start thinking about a deep Elite 8 run
7) Get upset about t. lloyd's early exit in March

You skipped the part where we blow a winnable game that is meaningful, then get lulled to sleep and lose in a blowout to a sub standard team where 1 guy goes off for 37 and we can't make a layup, also a game that a ref blows a game deciding whistle that kills the morale, and finally Tommy blowing the Conference Title heading down the stretch parlaying into a good Conference tournament run that THEN sets up the expectations to be higher than normal.

However this year will come down to Alabama. Win that game + handle business vs 2 solid SDSU teams and it is a Lock for a #1 seed as long as we don't drop more than 5 games in the Big12.
