I've been thinking about this all morning. I can't stand AZ, what an irrationally arrogant fanbase. Outside of Lute Olson, this program doesn't have anything to write home about (and I used to love those late 90s early 00s teams that Lute had). But even Lute's success (Champ 1997; Runner-up 2001; FF 1988, 1994, 1997, 2001) wasn't as great as some of his peers - Calhoun had a lot more success in probably a tougher league during essentially the same period.
I've been trying to think what an appropriate football comp would be ... Florida St? Nebraska?
Also bums me out that we have to deal with these a****** for another 10 years.
Blue Blood in player acquisition, peasants in the post season…Blue Blood still, or naw?
Love is no KJ right now. Not close.What surprised me during the game was except for Ballo (who cannot even come close to hitting a free throw), AZ was basically outmatched every player down their depth chart on both sides of the floor. Love had a terrible game, but when you look at his game log, he has not been shooting it anywhere close to good for a month and it is not like he provides a ton of assists either. Clemson played good, but AZ was definitely over-seeded and just over-matched.

Can't see that without thinking of his girlfriendI forgot one. These doofuses have also been to the same number of Final Fours as Arizona.
They had short spurts where they played really well but they weren't consistent at all last night. They'd go on runs, catch up, and then give it all away again.I only caught the last 5 mins of the AZ Clemson game. Clemson seemed to be way less athletic. Yet they were still able to make layups on just about every possession. Arizona was playing a defense-optional NBA All Star game style, as if they did not respect their opponent one bit. It's mystifying why they play pants on fire style against us consistently but so lazy in the NCAA. Their sadness is my joy though.
I can’t get there on rooting for the football team. But I’m in for the hoops team. You’ll be happy to know her sister, brother-in-law and niece are all Auburn grads/students.
Of course Marquette is only shooting 35% and is 0fer from 3.
We definitely got their A Game.I have a feeling the Big 12 will be good for UofA.
We definitely got their A Game.
True. Clemson was playing great fundamental BB, and it seemed like it was baffling to AZ….I only caught the last 5 mins of the AZ Clemson game. Clemson seemed to be way less athletic.

Yep. Made sure they got a quality shot almost every possession and didn't allow Arizona to get easy points in transition or off first move/ pass in half court sets.Clemson was playing great fundamental BB, and it seemed like it was baffling to AZ….
Yeah, he looks like a guy that the UAW shoulda had threatening to bust legs during the recent strike. Very B1G…..Is it a rule that the Purdue coach has to have an oversized anvil of a head that put his mother into a body cast for a broken pelvis?
Marquette looks eminently beatable when Jones isn't channeling Dame Lillard
