2022 Pac 12 Tourney thread- #4 seed MEN'S bball (Las Vegas, 2nd CU game vs. #2 ranked/ #1 seed Arizona, Fri., 3/11, 7:00 PM MT, Pac 12 Network)

[Ruckus]

We were lost without Battey and Walker. Kinda scary for Next year. Guess we go small

Lots thought we were ****ed this year without Kin, and many weirdos thought we were dumb to let Schwartz, Dallas, and Horne go, but here we are. It’s how college basketball works. Teams change. You don’t need an individual to replace individuals, you just need the team to adjust to the new chemistry. We have talent. Should be able to sort it out.

 

[slider]

Yea, if we only had a highly regarded bluechip player who had to sit the year out on the bench. Maybe then things would be ok, but it looks like we're set to win 9 games.

I don’t think that. Allen isn’t a “big” either. Unless you’re talking about Lovering who needs a lot of work

 

[Alfred91]

Well, hopefully we can make a deep NIT run and get set for next year.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Fight to the finish
Arizona fans are garbage
NIT run to MSG up next

 

[slider]

We do have some quality pieces. I think Simpson is going to be very, very good. Clifford and Da Silva have the potential as well

 

[DBT]

We’ve missed a lot of open threes.

 

[Hallett Hell]

Buffs gave it everything. Proud of this team. F AZ

 

[Darth Snow]

what a fever dream of a game. good effort

 

[4BienemyTDs]

NIT #2 seed, couple of home games
Quality min for these young guys
Chance to go to New York

 

[Hallett Hell]

Go UCLA

 

[chipwich]

Simpson 0-10. Ouch.
O’Brien Clifford and Simpson combined 3-22 ooof

 

[NWD Buff]

I love this Buffs team. Proud of them.

Let's go win the ****ing NIT

so many missed bunnies

 

[Scotch]

Oh well. Buffs fought hard. Hat tip to the 'Cats.

All season long. Seriously, more than any season I can remember. May have broken records lol.

That's a damn good team and Tommy Lloyd is a hell of a coach. They could easily go the distance in the NCAA tournament.

I don't think they have the guard play, could be wrong.

Except for the AZ game at home where we hit all kinds of crazy ass shots in the lane, but hit like 4 3s the whole game.

Sportsball is weird sometimes.

 

[ahoelsken]

I don't think they have the guard play, could be wrong.

We'll see. This is about as wide open as the NCAA tournament has ever been potentially.

Batteys leadership and grit will be hard to replace. We shouldn't have an issue replacing her s production though. Not a good rebounder.

 

[Buffnik]

Disappointed but don't feel upset. I don't know if anybody would have beaten UA tonight. So proud of this team.

Let's finish this season off by hanging a damn NIT banner.

Amazing. So, you're trying to dismiss Battey's production this year? He is playing superbly right now - the best basketball of his career. in the last 10 games, 14 pts/5 rebounds a game, and the best 3 pt shooter in the Conference. Yep - easy to replace.

I didn’t expect us to win but hoped for some magic. Unlike our win in Boulder, we didn’t have every guy step up which is what we needed.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Proud of the guys, they really grew a lot this season. Hit a ton of threes but couldn't finish around the rim. Their size gave us fits. Anyway, they did all they could tonight, just not quite enough. It's nothing to hang their heads over, still will probably. KJ will be fine. These nights happen, he'll be better for it down the road. Overall, proud of the effort to get better all year. Let's see what's next.

 

[Buffnik]

KJ had a terrible shooting night (1/10) and too many turnovers. Playing with a sprained right wrist, though. Also had 4 steals and 5 assists. Dude just battles. He's got nothing to hang his head about.

I’m already looking forward to next season.

 

[BuffLuke80]

We’ve missed a lot of open threes.

Uhh, did you forget which font to use? Pretty sure we made 50% of them, 16 total. You can rarely ask for more than that. Yeah, KJ really struggled tonight.

I get that. But we still missed several wide open ones. And several of the misses were in and out.

You kind of made my point. Best basketball of his career he was a 14/5 guy. It's not disrespectful to say he was an average P5 player.

Yeah, that's not very uncommon for any team though. You get three for it for a reason Moses.
