Calling it now, Aristode will be the best freshman of the class

In addition to the lack of rebounding, Aristode's footwork wasn't quick enough on defense to keep his opponent from making plays.  With an offseason of defensive work, the kid will be NBA ready.  His shot is already stellar and with a nice ball-fake, he'll get to the basket with ease.

The prediction about DA being the best freshman prospect isn't "over" yet.  He could easily become the best pro, depending on who coaches him throughout the next couple years.

Nope.

. Maybe your boy Miller will pick him up....

If he wanted him, he could.

Miller took a terrible team to a terrible no-call over the back away from the Elite 8 this year.

He is a true master of Coaching in Tournament Basketball if nothing else. There are not many Coaches that have his ability.

Also funny how the Pack-Line is what did Arizona in ultimately. All 3 losses technically. We managed to survive a few games against it though to our Talent's credit. Tommy only relies on Players making it happen. Not an X's and O's guy.

So true. It was all X's and O's, which led to Arizona's stellar possessions when Trier had the ball in his hands. Zero offensive movement against teams who purposely played zone because they knew that the Cats couldn't penetrate the lane to save their lives. Masterful.

And all things being equal, Sean and Tommy both have zero NCAA championships. 1 game further than the Elite 8 doesn't define anyone in my book. It doesn't even erase a 2 seed losing to a 15 seed which is not equal to a 6 vs 11 or 4 vs 13 by any historical metric.

Agreed. Final four raises "a" banner, but not "the" banner.

Upsets will always happen in the tourney, especially when mid-majors have experienced upperclassmen.

Both coaches have varying styles of coaching, which lead to different forms of success. Hopefully, a second national title will eventually end up in Tucson.
