No Zags drafted. Can get invites to camps but virtually nil chance of making a team. I think this year there may be some 1st rounders that don't even make a roster.

A few surprises? That's an understatement. This draft is bizarre. Teams keep passing on talented players, even where they have a possible need, to take a flyer on someone completely unexpected. I...
I think the first 2 picks (Collier from Texas, Kuier from Sweden) were as expected. After that, holy cow! McDonald from Arizona rocketed all the way to #3 and Gondrezick from West Virginia went #4....
What was NWG gonna do to improve his NBA draft stock as a 5th year Sr? He was an excellent college player. I really don't know what he could've added to his game or changed about himself that...
Interesting article, thanks for the link.
I haven't been following very closely as this has dragged out. I also haven't followed Arizona very closely in recent years.
Hiring a first time head coach is always a huge risk, no matter how...
Carolina to Duke? Has that ever happened (or vice versa)? I can't see it happening. The hate is too deep, you can't switch sides.
His last few years were not vintage Lute and Arizona teams, that's for sure. JMO but I kinda think the epic collapse against Illinois in the '05 Regional Final was really the end of the Lute era,...
Curious who from the family tree would've been a good candidate at the time. I'm not coming up w/ any names. Kerr in retrospect would've been great, but Lute retired in '08 and Kerr didn't start...
Whoa, really? Coached well into his 70s. Was having some health issues. How long was he supposed to continue coaching for? I don't at all remember it being a situation like Roy. And if any...
I don't think it's a formula that can be recreated. Hiring someone with Zag ties isn't going to magically make the same thing happen somewhere else. No school has come close so far. Rice is doing...
Zags outshot them 51% to 45%. Now if you're only talking about 3's, you'd have more of a case, but they finished 10-23, not insane level of shooting. It was Zags TOs and O boards by Baylor that...
Jeez, just empty the bench already Few. How much humiliation do the starters need?
So...'17 Zags were quite a bit better than '21 in the end?
Would it have been better to bow out to UCLA in a classic game and save getting humiliated in the Championship? Doubters/haters are loving this, Zags are never gonna hear the end of it.
Vital has 8 O boards. GU has 4.
Zags are back to embarrassing themselves. How long til they waive the white flag?
Jeez, Ayayi and Timme fighting over a rebound, Ayayi rolled his ankle pretty bad. Nothing gone right.
Kispert finally hits a 3, way too little too late.
That was a team effort. Nobody could grab a D board to save their life. He went to the bench really quick w/ 2 fouls and the onslaught continued.
He was inconsistent this year, but on the biggest stage Suggs is showing he is by far the most talented Zag. Only player up to the challenge this game.
Timme just picked up #4. They made it competitive for a while, but I'm afraid they are about to get buried.
Baylor still has nearly as many O boards as GU has total rebounds. You just can't do that. Vital is listed at 6-5. What the hell? He is burly and has a long wingspan, but can't believe the way...
Kispert w/ a huge block, but then saves it from going out of bounds...to Baylor. He should just let that one go out. Resulted in FTs for Baylor.
Jeez, from 9 to 16 in a hurry. Not sure if they're gonna get another chance. That's a big hill to climb.
Got it under 10 for a second, that didn't last long. TOs just killing their chances.
Well Baylor is cooling off, but Zags not really taking advantage of it.
