Is this Really Who we are?

Frankly we are close to the same team I thought we were after the non-con. 2 things that have changed and will give us a slight push to make the tournament. 1. The B12 is just not as good as we thought. 2. As bad as the new additions are, we never expected HV to contribute like he has. If CBryant can play well enough to earn 20 -25 min per game, those will replace the transfer class.

I dont read your post as you picked WVU to win. Shows what you THINK you know, but you are no EXPERT!

Just a stupid post. I assume you never pick Arizona to lose, so you have zero credibility because you've been wrong 5 times. Teams win games they are not supposed to win and lose when they are expected to cruise.

Yeah well some of your shit is stupid too. At least I don't bring hella long post about his own biased opinion. Arx is only a self proclaimed expert and he has no credibility about his long ass rants. I think most would agree with me on this and I hope he reads this too. I am in Tucson if anyone wants to come see me about it!

Is someone forcing you to read it? Also, typing like a tough guy is a bit different than actually being able to handle yourself, so just stop.

Relax and debate civilly.
It's almost Game Day bros.

Lsg, you just hopped on the shout channel complaining that I was sticking up for Arx. I am not sure what your angle is here. You literally came on the post he created and trolled him. I could care less about Arx, but we don't censor what peoples opinions here. Then you say you were in Tucson to meet anyone who disagreed with you; when in fact you were on your way home to Whiteriver. You are in the wrong on this one my friend.

This is actually the dumbest post ever written on this entire forum. Ever. Congratulations.

Seems like this is still who we are. We are getting these big leads and somehow finding our way to being up 8-10pts with like 5min to go after dominating all game and it is the opponent's ball.

Just luckily, lately those teams are missing or we are getting the ball back and putting in a dagger of sorts.

It is very difficult to stop momentum late in CBB games. Lucky we were at Home last night or we may have blew it.

Not sure how many home games we have left, but we need to win as many of them as possible and steal as many on the road as we can.

We are Game-To-Game. I don't care about our Win Streak. This is a race to 20 wins in the regular season right now and surviving this year with some dignity.

Predictably Predictable.

As soon as Tommy took Carter out of that game we folded. Tommy actually calls for the terrible 3pt shooting. Around the 11min mark in the 2nd Half, we made a nice push back. We had the best defense we could possibly put out there. It didn't matter if Carter missed 2 FTs, Awaka made 2 FTs. In the end it wasn't easy for Texas Tech to do what they do against that lineup. Caleb got his 3pt shot off (Fouled, made 3 FT), we had the game slowed down to a pace we could compete. Bradley had a wide open 3 (miss), but within the flow.

Unfortunately Tommy cost us this game. I think he is too set in his ways. Dell Orso is not the type of guy to be playing these types of dog fights. Absolutely useless. No peripheral stats.

Henri was not up for the more Athletic challenge today. Tommy had no strategy for it either. In these types of games, Henri needs to be the Step Out shooter. Not trying to bully inside. He will never win those battles. Terrible coaching.

KJ Lewis will like to have this one back. He is the guy who should be able to compete and he did defensively, just not offensively. Since he has been offensively-challenged all season, I won't rip him too hard. He is solid Defense.

Townsend shouldn't be getting 9 shots. This isn't March Madness #13 Oakland vs #4 Texas Tech. He is a true Role Player. Tommy has this whole thing backwards making Townsend and Del Orso into true starters. You put Mid Majors our there like that, you get Mid Major results. You might get 1 game here and there, but you aren't going to win consistently. How many times have you seen a Cinderella win 6 games in a row in March Madness? Very rarely.

Carter Bryant 4-5 from the field, dominating, playing elite offense and defense, but isn't allowed to keep going. We needed a 12-16 type game today from someone and Tommy just makes sure it never happens. As soon as we get something cooking with him, Tommy yanks him out. I have no positive words left for it. This is criminal and personal now.

I don't think Caleb Love is throwing games. I think Love is the type of guy who has tried every possible way. He tried to do it all. He tried to step back and watch. He tried to be a role player. When he sees ineptitude, his competitive spirit takes over to a detriment. I don't blame him anymore. Caleb Love and Tommy Lloyd are a terrible fit together. The accolades don't matter.

We were a juggernaut in a powderpuff Conference like the 12 Pack. He was very average in the Big12 and anytime we go on the Road, there is going to be a rabid fanbase just licking their chops waiting to clown us.

Tom is so bad this year. Was there even a game plan at all? Rosters have changed from year to year, but one thing has remained the same every season: there is zero requirement to box out at Arizona. That is 100% on the coach for not demanding it. Carter's limited minutes are laughable. Townsend getting extended minutes is even more laughable. Who would have thunk that playing a 6'6 PF that can't defend might present some serious matchup problems at some point? Brilliant. It's not even about Trey though. It's not about Caleb jacking threes either. Tom calls all the shots. He can make any adjustment he wants any time he wants, and his decision making has been absolute ass without Rick Fois to yell logical shit in his ear all game. Our players shouldn't be put in positions to fail like this.

I would wager Carter transfers after this season
