Houston is gonna cruise to victory, unless they pull a Lute Olson and intentionally dont try to win

Close but outclassed . . . again . . . by Houston. Kinda an embarrassing end to the game with those gawd awful turnovers and giving up a wide open dunk in the three straight possessions when had pulled to within 2.

Jaden Bradley is the very definition of “meh” offensively and as a floor leader. And Caleb love finishes the season shooting less than 39% from the field. Woof. As a team they did a nice job of righting the ship when they looked terrible early in the season. But I think this is going to be another in Tommy’s history of short-lived tournament stays.

We simply aren't in Houston's class but I'm not sure any team is unless Flagg is healthy. Keep in mind, they've gone 25 - 1 against a tough schedule since getting healthy around the start of December and many of their wins were blowouts. And their only loss November was a 1 point OT game against Texas Tech. Maybe we'll flop in the tournament but I've been impressed by how tough this team has played the past few months. I think we have a fair chance to at least make the Sweet 16 (with a decent draw).

At least there not soft anymore. I would like to say the officiating was good but it was great. Enjoyed the game until the last four min

 

[Chaplin]

We were a 5th seed going into the weekend in March Madness. This clearly moves us up to at least a #4, maybe 3 if the committee is generous.

EDIT: We're listed as #4 as of 9pm EST tonight.

I think a 4 is fair

Agreed.

Houston reminds me of Sean Miller teams with better execution offensively. Kelvin Sampson has built quite the powerhouse over there.

Arizona has to play Duke early. Early exit

Arizona has to play Duke early. Early exit

I think we have Sweet 16 talent so losing in that round to one of the top contenders doesn't seem like an early exit to me. It would be playing to form. Losing early is still possible, I certainly wouldn't be looking past Akron, Liberty or Duke. But we have a pretty fair draw so if we do lose early, that will be a real embarrassment.

 

[Dback Jon]

Akron is a talented team

 

[AzStevenCal]

Akron is a talented team

Yes they are and I don't think we can let them play their game and simply hope to match them from the 3 point line.
