naturebob Report post Posted March 29, 2015 You can't win if You don't score. UofA has no great shooters period. Defense wins titles? so does toilet paper. I was on My throne after the game. You gotta have shooters. Wis. does. Kats don't. Hopefully Miller can recruit some. It does suck that these Guys leave early for the nba. Hey I aint here to argue with fellow hunters but being around the game for 45 + years I Know My I know what the heck I am talking about. Who knows Miller mite win 5 titles at AZ. I just think He stunk tonite Even against a team that shot like that. He could of prevented them Guys from getting the ball .Bottom line, Wis. played as good as they can . AZ. looked like they were just in another pac 12 game. Nobody stood up and took over. That's one thing I hate about High school and collage BBall is coaches control to much now days and don't give guys with real talent the chance to take over the game. Even club ball is the same that these guys play before collage.All this ranting and My daughter is a Sun Devil Graduate.............BOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I could at that age ,so I know Steph could. Thanks for being a teacher and a coach. My daughter and her husband both do it in North Carolina. Kids need all the help they can get. When I retire I'm Gonna spend time with kids That wanna play on a serious note. No time for slackers. That's for You guys that get paid(and not enough) to do that......BOB!

Big or Bust Report post Posted March 29, 2015 Armchair quarterbacks crack me up. Wisconsin simply a better team today. Miller is a super coach. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted March 29, 2015 You are going to blame the refs when you scored 1/3 of your points from the free throw line? Miller is a good coach and a great recruiter. Just not that great on game day making adjustments during the game. There was no excuse for not fouling on that last Wisconsin possession. What was he thinking?

naturebob Report post Posted March 29, 2015 Everthing in Tucson is super. You guys have a chance at something special. Recruting and coaching is 2 different things. Look at the late Dean Smith . He is considered one of the greatest coaches of all time. I don't think so. He had so many great players and didn't win squat for titles.. Was Jordan his only one. Can't remember? You coach 40 years You will win 900 games. Same with Boheim at Sryacuse. A high school teammate of mine kicked the crapp out of him in 77 at ST Bonaventure when he was starting out and Cuse was still awarded the ncaa. That's when they only had 32 teams in. The Bonnies won the NIT over Houston and Otis Birdsong that year.. Sryacuse has cheated there ASSeS of ever since and finally got caught. Calapari at Kentucky has already been caught. You know He cheatin his but off. so I won't even consider his title a title if he wins. I thinks Miller is Running a clean program as is Wisconson . So I hope Wis. Wins it all . Sorry for the rant all. But there aint nothing to do here in North Dakota but tv, computer or drink. I do all 3. OH, and work tomm. nite. .Cmon Sept. Elk in AZ...............BOB................PS. no arm chair QB here ,I know what the heck I am talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted March 29, 2015 Bottom line.......Just got beat by a better team. Sean MIller is a great coach, and he has a good ball team. Just not good enough for a final 4. Our weakness was exposed by the Badgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted March 29, 2015 The Badgers drew rain with those prayer shots. The three point shot is ruining the game. I have seen too many games when the lesser team wins with a last minute slop shot. Or in this case 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might have to beg to differ on the analogy being dumb based on the results for the NBA point three contest listed below. Don't forget to take into account that money balls are part of the total. I know Curry could do it. I am just saying it would most likely take him a lot of tries and I doubt he would bet a years salary on doing it on his first try. I was bitter last night and still a little bitter this morning. Wisconsin was amazing. My original point was that they would have beat any team and coach in the country shooting the 3 ball like that. The cats just got in front of them on the wrong night.

CouesHunterAZ Report post Posted March 29, 2015 This post just proved that some of you didn't watch Arizona basketball until the tournament... Arizona is bad at man to man? Arizona has no shooters? Sean Miller is only a good recruiting coach? Arizona is one of the best defensive teams in the nation, they just played the best college player in the nation and got into foul trouble early. Wisconsin also had the best shooting performance that I have ever seen in a half. The Wildcats also have some good shooters (not great) on this team, but our offense is ran by penetrating and getting to the foul line. I am not even answering the last one, but I will say that Sean Miller will get us to multiple final fours before his career is over. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kwp Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Shawn, Miller doesn't always play man to man. Shawn Miller may play zone but I have no idea who that is. Sean Miller, the coach at UA, is a strictly man to man coach and one of the best defensive coaches in college basketball. Hats off to Wisconsin, they came up big in a big game. For UA to even be in the game with all the threes Wisconsin made is a miracle, especially when you add in the foul trouble UA had 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 When going over the game today at work with a coworker, he summed it up perfectly... They would have beat Kentucky yesterday. I 100% agree with that. The way they were shooting the ball, I am thankful U of A even had a chance. Having said that, I do agree that not fouling with that possession right about the 1 minute mark was stupid. Also not penetrating and going at guys in an attempt to get them into foul trouble I think was a mistake. But, I'm no expert nor coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
