Arizona vs. Louisville Quick React
Oh no! 39 point loss. Are you kidding me? Arizona fell into the worst case scenario that could have fell upon them in this matchup. Of the big three, Jordan Hill was off. Our offensive rebounding was gone. Budinger was the only one who could get anything going. The season is not a complete loss. Congrats to the Cats for making the Sweet 16. Not even half of America thought that could have happened.
I am sure the critics will come out of the woodwork tomorrow talking about how we were "lucky" to be in the Tournament, and even "luckier" to beat Utah and then draw Cleveland State. What do I have to say to that? Did Vegas think that Arizona was going to win against Utah? I don't care what any pundits, ESPN analysts, blogger, or sports reporter claims about the Arizona Utah matchup. If VEGAS thinks your going to lose, and you win, by 13 points, that's an upset. That is not luck. Cleveland State? Ask Wake Forest what they thought about them. I'm pretty sure Wake Forest was picked to win by 8.5, and they got thrashed as well.
I am proud of the run our Cats made this year. I wish this game would not have been so lopsided, but Arizona has had a hell of a season.

I love my team...
but I think your delusional. My team — Washington for the record — underperformed and played poorly, hence their early tourney exit. They had a tough draw, but they should have played better. You have to play your best in March and all of the Pac-10 simply did not do that. But let’s be honest for a second…Arizona got the easiest 12 seed path this year, bar none. They played well and I have to give respect where respect is due because they beat two tough teams…but they are not worldbeaters.
Vegas has favorites because of betting trends. Spreads are not a barometer of what pundits, experts or even Bookmakers themselves think…they are a barometer of what gamblers think. The idea of a point spread is that it moves based on which team is getting action. If Utah opens as a 10 point favorite I’m going to put $1,000,000 on Arizona. At that point the line will be adjusted in order to induce action on Utah. It’s designed to minimize losses for the sportsbook by spreading the bets around. Your claims about vegas thinking they are going to win is completely off base.
Face reality, Zona beat a good mid-major in Utah and a decent Mid-Major that matched up well against Wake (who was playing their worst ball all year). As far as asking Wake what they though of CSU…I’ll pass…I’ll ask Washington who dominated them early in the season.
I congratulate Zona on a good run, you guys went on a good run in the 2nd half of the season and earned a spot in the field. But your team has 3 first round picks (2 likely lottery) and you barely snuck in and lucked out on CSU beating Wake. You are bat shit crazy if you think for a second that you guys deserve huge acolades for beating up on two Mid-Majors and getting exposed the Sweet 16.

This is what happens when a coach overstays his welcome. This is it. Look carefully, Arizona fans. Don’t you dare turn away from what you wrought. That’s right. You.
You did this. You insisted Lute Olson should stay as long as he wanted. Through his health issues. Through his deteriorating coaching competency. Too long he stayed, with Arizona fans not just allowing it to happen — Arizona fans ran interference. And this is the result.

Just another typical bomb throwing column from this clown
Haha
I can’t help but just laugh when I read this. Oh no it’s our fault our team made the Sweet 16. If only we weren’t stupid we might’ve been able to get Lute out earlier so we didn’t have to go through all the pain of losing in the tournament. I wish we kicked him to the curb earlier so that we could’ve stopped this stupid tournament streak at 20.
