Great time for Arizona to lay an egg on a big stage.

Just saw highlights, I really want to not like Cooper Flagg, Duke, so hyped etc, but man that kid is good.

It’s pathetic. Arizona looks outmatched against any team from a P4 conference. I didn’t expect us to win tonight, but I expected us to at least have a puncher’s chance at the end. I don’t know if the team hasn’t gelled yet or if this is Tommy’s worst team in his career, but the returns are awful.
The Bahamas trip will be very telling. Tommy better hope that Gonzaga isn’t in the way.

Well this doesn’t seem to be accurate thus far. What a disappointment this team is.

Correct. This team looks putrid

I don't think they've played well at all this year despite the ranking so I hope this isn't who they really are. At best they've looked like one of those teams that's on the outside looking in come Selection Sunday.

I won’t go that far. Caleb Love isn’t going to look awful for the whole season, and I think Carter Bryant is gonna play his way into the OAD category once he gets more experience and minutes. Although at this point, I think getting a seed better than 4 seems insurmountable.

I'm not writing them off yet but wow, even a number 4 seed is far more than I can envision. I expected Duke to win even in Tucson but after the embarrassing performance at Wisconsin I was really hoping for at least a close battle in front of home fans.

Arizona is going to have one of the strongest SOS when it comes to selecting for the tournament:
@ Wisconsin
Duke
One of Gonzaga or Indiana (neutral)
*maybe* Oklahoma
UCLA (neutral)
The Big-12 gauntlet
That alone is going to benefit Arizona greatly, and we’ve seen double digit loss teams get preferential treatment when their SOS is insane.
Of course, Arizona has to perform in these games and figure itself out between now and then. Tommy is a good coach and deserves the benefit of the doubt that he will get this team to gel.
I doubt any of Tommy’s Arizona team would have beat Duke last night

Duke impressed you that much?
Arizona never has impressed, maybe with Mathurin

Duke was a pretty good team last season when Tommy's Arizona team beat them at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Duke is now the favorite to win the Natty in Vegas. Flagg is that dude and there are at least four other draft picks on their roster, probably more.
I wouldve been cool with this loss had we not been clowned in Madison. I hope Tommy doesnt pull a Brent Brennan and assume his team is just fine

Per Tommy Lloyd, Oumar Ballo's decision to leave Arizona (for Indiana) was partly due to him wanting Motiejus Krivas to have the opportunity to advance his career.'He said it's not fair that a guy like me get 6 years in college, and a guy like Mo Krivas gets 4.'
