[Dback Jon]

Clemson is the 6-seed, just upset 3-seed Baylor

I like our chances. I liked our chances against Baylor too, but I'm much more comfortable with Clemson.

 

[TJ]

Clemson's a solid team that has size, but is kind of a mediocre shooting team. There's no reason we shouldn't win unless we take a nap

 

[Cheesebeef]

6 seed. No excuses. Elite 8. Bear down!

ACC and Clemson are hot. Az will have to have a good game early

Game time in 4 hours on CBS

 

[Cheesebeef]

Pretty excited for this game… which means we will undoubtedly lose.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Come on dudes. 3 points in the first 5 minutes? Get over the jitters and get in the game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

My God, we look awful.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Great start to the half. Keep the pressure on and let’s kick these fools back to the Carolinas.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I have lost any and all confidence watching any Arizona Sports team in a close game at this point.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Zona guards determined to prove they suck.

Playing hero ball, just shooting bad three after bad three.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Meet the new boss.

Same as the old boss.

Sigh.

Tommy Loyd, great regular season coach. Disappointing tourney coach. And make no mistake he got outcoached today.

Tommy Lloyd brought the Gonzaga-ness with him when he came to UA.

 

[Lefty]

I hate sports.

Tommy is Marty Shottenheimer. He’s gonna win you a ton of regular season games. But he’s gonna turtle in the post season

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Like I said just go in expecting the worst

Marty’s face wasn’t nearly as punchable as Tommy’s.

 

[Russ Smith]

Love is that guy that is so hard to explain. He's the definition of shoot you into or out of a game. I don't know why he kept shooting 3's, they weren't going and he was getting to the rim at will and they were in the bonus so early in the 2nd half.

Clemson tried to give the game up, 95% FT shooter misses 2 in a row, they missed front ends. One trip they missed 6 wide open shots, 4 of them 3's.

Honestly 5 minutes into the game I knew UA was in trouble, it was just so apparent there wasn't a good matchup for Ballo, he couldn't guard anybody on the court because Clemson's bigs can face up and stretch the floor. They probably should have tried going zone to see if that helped because Clemson couldn't guard him at the other end

 

[GatorAZ]

Knew they’ve been pretenders for a while. Tommy has two more years to make some noise in March.

 

[Dback Jon]

Then Alabama beats North Carolina

Clemson versus Alabama for a trip to the final four

Another mediocre CBB program that reaches the F4 since AZ’s last trip.
