Did Bama’s Brandon Miller have a pat down as his introduction “celebration?” At best tone deaf, at worst heartless towards the victim’s family.

Don't blame Fisch for leaving for more money and a more proven program. Don't blame him for saying he wasn't leaving, because what else is he going to say? I do blame him for spending 3 minutes with the team and the video of him signing the contract in Tucson is a bad look.

Not sure who Brennan is bringing from his SJSt staff but LB/ST coach Scott White was a 247 P12 recruiter of the year when he was at UCLA. Allonzo Carter was a MWC recruiter of the year. Staff also has some deep ties with Polynesian and Los Angeles HS communities.

Sadly, I believe if the Cats score on the possession where they were down 6 and got the steal, they win that game. For about 1:00 Houston looked like they were about to meltdown. Instead, the Cats turn it over, Houston hits the three and ballgame.

IMO the problem is not that Arizona lost in the Sweet 16 to Clemson, the problem is how. The fact they kept jacking up threes and had severe defensive lapses late is the issue. Bad shooting nights happen, they usually end your season, but you have to adjust and they didn't.
