Title says it all. But I will expand.

Tommy was put on the shoulders of the #1 Overall Pick Koa Peat. Yes, #1. I don't care if he goes #1 or not. Whoever wins the Lottery needs to take a hard look in the mirror before they decide Dysbanta, Darryn Peterson, Cenac or anyone else goes ahead of Koa.

When you have a Sure Thing, you don't fuck around. You take him and let him become a better version of Klaw Leonard eventually.

Burries needs to work on staying on the court. We learned a big lesson tonight thankfully in a miraculous win. That Booger Fland 3pt shot goes down almost every time in those scenarios as the season goes on and especially in THE MADNESS.

Crunch time looked horrible. I was nearly 1 shot away from being CRESTFALLEN.

Ivan-Ka proved he is worthy of playing. An excellent Flopper and a very tough player at the same time. I see his game.

Florida, with Clayton last season, would have played just about the same as tonight... however, Jaden Bradley proved that having a VETERAN PG is a word 10x more impactful than Crucial. It is basically Mission Critical.

No Bradley... this was a 20pt Loss without a doubt IMHO.

Del'Taco looks bigger to me. He must have hit the weight room. I think that will pay dividends over the course of the season.

Tobe Awaka Rodman is a good player to have off the bench. It is troubling to think Caleb Love brokered the deal that got Henri over to UNC back in last January. If we had Henri right now, this would be game over territory. Holy guacamole.

Tommy Lloyd needs to learn how to utilize X's and O's. There are no more excuses. Koa can't be the only weapon. 30ppg is not "all year". It is "when we need it", but I want to see Team Basketball too. Tommy is definitely on the Hot Seat if he can't actually Coach. Being a nice guy is not enough anymore. I'll take Bruce Pearl out of retirement in a heartbeat.

We can only go up from here.

This was about as bad as I can fathom this team playing all season.

ONWARD AND UP

We just beat #3... It'll get worse.

But not tonight. Tonight we are joyous.

Based on the title, I didn't have to read the initial post.

We were down 12.

We scored out of every timeout.

We outhustled the defending champs.

Our bench supported the kids on the floor throughout the entire 40 minutes.

Arizona outcoached and outplayed the #3 team in the nation. If you think otherwise, you're just searching for excuses.

We play 10 of the preseason top 20. We play the last 5 national champions. We do this while starting 3 freshman.  There will be some let downs and losing a close game last night would not have been devastating (unless you love in Florida and might have listen to both fans give you grief).  I expect that we'll lose several games this year, mostly due to inexperience,  If we don't it'll be primarily because of coaching.

As for Bruce Pearl, the man's a cheater, f him.

Or here's an idea : Just for once celebrate a great Cat victory !  First game of the season, on the road, vs # 3 and defending champion that was favored to win.  BTFD !

Opposite. We were outcoached. We just played a more efficient game. Barely. Florida missed enough open shots. They could have won by 15 easily. Tommy had no plan heading down the stretch. He went full jesus take the wheel mode.
