Losing by 3 points is disappointing to say the least but the cats need to play better and stop missing all the time this isn’t how we’re supposed to play we got to play harder and tougher not only on the road but also at home we have to win more than losing more games the more we lose on the road the more it’s going to hurt us.
Also the rebounds we have to rebound more and stop forcing the shots too
I'm highly disappointed in this team
This interview makes me feel better. Tommy just as pissed as everybody. Through thick n thin we stick together. 🐻⬇️
Is Bruce neurodivergent?
Glad Tommy is just as pissed as the fans. Now take out that anger on every team we play the rest of the season
Just F#@KING EMBARRASSING! I bet Caleb wishes he would have stayed at North Carolina. I feel bad for that kid the ONLY guy that wanted it tonight PERIOD! Same SH!T different year. One of the VERY BEST coaches in the country Sean Miller could not get ANY constancy out of the kids and neither will coach Lloyd! SAD SAD! I Love coach Lloyd but Sean Miller is twice the coach Lloyd is Right now. It always made me laugh when people talked shit about Coach Miller. Oh ya and It cracks me up as well when they said Coach Lloyd had the best season the first 2 years out of any other first year coaches… UMMMMMM You can thank coach Miller on what he had in place for him to step into. I bleed AZ Basketball, Just FRUSTRATING to watch this time and time again. Coach Lloyd and the players better wake the F#@K UP because come NCAA tournament time they will NOT make it past the first few games playing like this!
WSU played great defense and had zip and whip.
Kyle Smith prepared them well and his team responded.
Get them out of there bring them home
Agree with Coach. We have to finish in the lane. We must get better on the road.
Hopefully, Tommy makes the necessary adjustments he talked about…
Tommy hates Bruce. It's hilarious
pls remove ballo out of lineup until he shows he actually wants to put in work pls we need krivas to start
Go cats go I will support my boys win or lose yeah!
Do you tommy and Bruce have a bad vibe towards each other and everytime they do a press conference there is always tension
Hey Coach, other teams have figured out how to beat you. They set high screens, every single play, that players like Boswell cant fight through. Their pg than drives lane. If Ballo slides than they kick out for wide open 3s. If Ballo doesnt slide than they have open 10-12 footers. Why don't you start there trying to figure it out. Also, you will NEVER win the tourn w only 7 players. You've said it yourself. You can't sit Krivas all 2nd half & play him only 10 min
Also, Ballo is officially the worst Az FT shooter of all time & one of the worst in college ever. He also misses at least 2 layups/dunks a game & can't run or block a shot for his life
AZ is a 3-seed.
Lloyd is onto something. Lineup shakeup yes !! more Bradley Lewis Krivas Marauskas + love and Keshad
Ballo cant shoot a FT , and cant finish a layup because he seeks a whistle. Enough . 40% free throws sorry sit on the bench unless you are Shaq
Pelle Boswell too many bad entry passes and bricks and scared to shoot. More Pauly M Kj and Jaden – confident shooting the rock not passing up looks or afraid to drive
Ballo and Boswell need to ride pine.
Average team , average coach , overrated and disappointing lack of focus and effort again……
Another year of no final 4 for Arizona. Disappointed team.
Just because Lloyd upset it does not mean Arizona gets better. The team chemistry and hunger for success is in the players lap. Players need to make bunny shots Yes but it is not an X n O thing necessarily. Leadership, chemistry, will to win comes from within.
Bad bad bad
Arizona has the deepest bench, but plays with 8 players. The problem is the coach. I think Murauskas will not play in the Arizona team next year
Take the loss with dignity folks, more opportunities ahead.
This team sucks.
We need to learn to not trail in 1st half. Take more risk, shoot more 3s in 1st half.
Yeah, this team started hot and is now regressing. Ballo is lost half the time on defense, we can't finish shots after amazing drives, Boswell is sinking like a stone. Love can't carry the weight on his shoulders alone, though it's great to see him take charge where needed. My worst fear of another overrated overachieving team coming true. We need to start playing deeper into the bench as well and give players like Filipe and Paulus more of a chance. Credit to Wazzou's D, but if we're supposed to be a good team, we won these games. It's gonna be another early exit for us and I'm just losing faith now. Either the team wakes up and Lloyd lives up to the anger he's displaying or bust.
This team goes the direction Boswell goes. If he stinks it up the team stinks it up. Lloyd needs to sit him when he plays this poorly. I have never seen an Az guard play that bad.
I just farted
average team losing to door mats Tommy you hit the nail on the head
Shaking up the lineup means pony us some NIL cash.
Stop chewing gum
You know that all of our competitors draw a BIG red circle around AZ on their schedule.
Been watching this same story every year When our guards don’t play well we lose to shitty teams We don’t have the killer mentality Ballo does nothing but jam can’t shoot perimeter or free throws More Krivas Lewis Bradley please …Tommy wake up. If you can’t beat shit teams on road we are first weekend done
Zone defense is their kryptonite. If they can't play better against zone defenses then it will be a short run in the NCAA tournament in March.
Give some of your other bench players a chance, like Marauskas and Boravicinin. The former might be your best, three-point, shooter, and the ladder is gifted at getting in the paint for an easy shot. Think out of the box, Tommy! Don’t be so freaking rigid.
Expectations! When you see value in losing, suggesting U somehow learn something U couldnt otherwise learn by losing, is itself, tolerating losing. Its literally learning how to lose. Just like teams need to learn how to win. Even though Az was only down by 3-4 pts and even took the lead, it felt like an 8-9 pt lead. Personally, I think his strategy against Purdue took the players aggressiveness away and they've been reacting instead of being the aggressor ever since.
Congratulations coach for saying the current ensemble is an "average basketball team." Might not even be that. The UA has two excellent ballers, Love and Johnson. Same old story with this program.
GO COUGS
Not sure what's going on with Ballo but he's somehow regressed this season. He's not playing with the same fire and joy.
We love you Coach Lloyd!
You don't win the National Championship in January…
You're a smart guy… you, the staff and players will figure it out. (We're watching a great coach develop right in front of us!)
Go 'Cats! BEAR (TF) DOWN!!
He's a good coach, his frustration is going to help down the road, I think the problem is that they don't have a marque player like Tabelus to carry them this year, they will be okay
Trust coach Tommy. He will do what's right and what's necessary. All we can do is go to games and make noise for our team.
Stanford shot 16 – 3s, WS’s 3s went in and ours didn’t, U of A never adjusted, it’s really that simple, no brain surgery here! Always remember coach Lute Olson said, never draft a player couldn’t shoot free throws, half your games are won or lose by a couple points!
Was Bruce the only one in the room lol? 😂
