daryl_s Report post Posted March 24, 2017 It's almost as bad to fall so short of expectations as it is to miss the tourney altogether. Did you know?: At one point this season Xavier lost 6 games in a row. Xavier's best player blew out his knee in January. Xavier finished 7th in the Big East 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted March 24, 2017 The Wildcats had size advantage over Xavier. Horrible three point shooting, as well as a stagnant offense in the second half. The Wildcats, and Coach Miller, can be they're own worst enemy at times. I've seen this re- run many times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturebob Report post Posted March 25, 2017 want to hear it from one who knows basketball over and over. I am 60. I lived on the court for 10 years in the late 60's and 70's. Infact I played a high school game against Beaver Falls High where Sean Miller is from and played. Joe Namath is from there too. Hot bed for atheletes. Any way what He does is to much control. He has to reailze He is not the point guard anymore . and the main thing He has lacked is a true outside shooter. He will never win a Championship till he gets one. He keeps recruiting these 6'[6 or 7 guys who are not 20 foot shooters.Until He gets some pure shooters He will not win it. He can't beat a zone defence .with out it.Thanks Kitty fans . Challenge Me on this one and You will lose like U of A............BOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snapshot Report post Posted March 25, 2017 The Wildcats only made 7 out of 27, 3 point shots. They did not play inspired ball. Look how well the other top teams ate playing, and what the common denominator is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted March 25, 2017 All 63 teams will lose and complain. Only one will be happy. And there are all of the teams that did not make the tournament. These are children you expect to be up every game without any pay (except the rich schools). New players every year as the NBA$$$ takes the best every year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Challenge Me on this one and You will lose like U of A............BOB! Can't tell if you are serious or not? I 100% agree with you that Sean Miller needs to work on his overall tactics to break down a zone defense. It is dismal in the efforts that Arizona made to penetrate the zone and get the ball down low, but when they did they had great success with Dusan Ristic. But I am so sick of everyone putting all this blame on Miller, this guy has said it all year, that if his team doesn't play a full 40 minutes that they will lose. Once again, his players didn't play a full 40 minutes, and they lost. How much more can you want from a coach? AND the pure shooter comment, you have lost your mind. Three players on the team shot over 40% from 3 this year, and the other three guards shot in the high 30's. If you don't think Lauri Markkanen or Parker Jackson Cartwright are 3 point shooters, just because they aren't the typical build of a 3 point shooter, then I don't know how to help you. What Arizona accomplished this year with the set backs they had, such as losing a 5 star recruit last minute (Terrance Ferguson, who miller recruited as a pure shooter), the Ray Smith torn acl (projected starter for the team), and the whole Allonzo Trier situation, this team beat beginning of the year expectations and at the end everyone only wanted excellence out of them. The truth is that they had a terrible game, and they have had bad games this whole tournament. While Sean Miller is to blame for some of the poor performance, the players are also to look at. And if you think that Arizona could get a better coach than Sean Miller for the program right now, you need to take a step back, and realize that green stuff in front of you isn't legal in Arizona yet so you should stop smoking it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naturebob Report post Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Coueshunter, You are right ,its not all Millers fault and I didn't say I want him gone. He just needs to change a little. This wasn't his best team either. If I was opposing coach Treir was the only player I feared.And He's not great , He'e very good. Hee needs out side shooters period . i will argue that all night .Prolem not many out there. And yes I am serious as a heart attack. What don't You get? Hey I'm cheering for the Cats all year long as we don't have a Collage team in the valley. Edited March 26, 2017 by naturebob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
