Arizona Wildcats Basketball - Former Cat Mark Lyons Thriving Overseas

Nice job man. Very pleased to hear Lyons is doing well overseas. A lot of people knocked on Lyons for his lack of being a "pass first pg" and his shot selection but I thought he helped us a whole lot more than hurt us. This especially given the fact that he came in as transfer and was expected to do so much immediately. I was a Lyons fan then and still am.

10 ranked teams lost today. Craaazy.

Looks like Jordin is getting the start for senior game today.

Arizona Wildcats basketball: Mayes to start home finale


Its easy now to forget the impact Jordin has had on this team at times.

As a freshman, he went 6 - 6 from 3-pt range in 3 tournament wins over Memphis, Texas, and Duke!

 

[johnson]

Cats should be ranked #1. Spread is 10.5 tonight...seems a bit high, but after last game...maybe not.

 

[520GGATO]

If they win out, I'm pretty sure they'll get the overall #1 seed.

 

[The Derski]

Joe Lunardi has us as the #1 overall in his latest bracket.

 

[520GGATO]

They just make it look easy.

 

[Arizona_Sting]

Great start

 

[520GGATO]

And where's Larry Scott? No where to be seen. Fcking asshole hasn't been to a UA game all this season. Shows you how much he dislikes Arizona and coach Miller.

 

[GumbySquad]

Business as usual. Watching the last few games all I can think of is how silly the "sky is falling" types must feel right about now. I actually saw posts after the asu game from people who thought that Sean Miller wasn't the right coach for the UofA.

Yeah, they had an offensive lull and it started a few weeks before BAsh went down, but every team goes through those stretches. It's a long regular season. Right now, they are playing their best offensive basketball of the season. Really like to see them looking to run more, obviously the goal the last 3+ games has been to push early in the shot clock before running the offense. They are getting a lot of easy buckets as a result.

 

[520GGATO]

Yup. Miller's teams usually get hot when March hits. Even after a slump. Just like last season. He's one hell of a coach if he can do that.

 

[520GGATO]

And, he's only been a head coach for 10 years. Arizona hit the lottery when he decided to become head coach.
