And we ain't even done yet...

GET PUMPED

[knytt]

Hoping freshman year is a good one!

[rag and bone]

Sean Miller's recruiting has been beastly since his arrival in the desert.

Furthermore, I'm reeeeally looking forward to this season. With Andre Drummond now heading to UConn the amount of NBA talent this year is outstanding.

Glad the KU and UCLA fans posted. You guys realize you're the ones hurting the most from Sean Miller's brilliance?

Not that Arizona basketball ever went away, but we're going to be in the mix for championships for years to come. Very exciting times. And all of our games will be on national television, so all you bitch ass UNC and Duke bandwagooneers can watch too.

Hope you're all ready for a lot of this next year:

[rag and bone]

Nick Johnson is going to be so much fun to watch. Can't wait.

Haha, nope. This is my first year actually following college basketball outside of the Final Four. But if that's true then I hate Sean Miller. Boo.

[tyles]

Should be an interesting year for KU, considering they should have a tougher regular season schedule than last year. Also kinda glad they are not as highly ranked going in, as I find that being highly ranked in the preseason is pretty overrated.

[BlueDevil50]

Duke...can't wait to avenge that AZ upset. For some reason, you fans irk me as much as UNC fans.

It wasn't an upset. dook was just extremely overrated, as they are almost every single year, and got their asses kicked by a better team. Good luck relying on a shot-happy freshman to be your best player. And THREE Plumlees to anchor the inside game. You're fucked.

[BlueDevil50]

Blah, blah, blah....new year, same ol' Tommy. And it was an upset, check your definition.

[Aurgasm]

'

You seem to forget what happened that night.

[TommyboyUNM]

That's a great picture. Hah.

And it wasn't an upset. I don't care what the seeds say. If you watch college basketball, you'll know just how much parity there really was last year. The term "upset" is so overused. Use the eye test and you'll figure out that there aren't as many upsets as the media likes to claim. They just say cliche things like that for the drama. There are some who call a 9 beating an 8 an upset. That's just ridiculous, but it's said all the time. The only real upset I can think of past the first weekend was VCU beating Kansas in the Elite 8.


tl;dr - dook sucks

Yeah, that was horrible.

[Pixiessp]

My favorite time of year is approaching.


GO TARHEELS!!

KU has a history of losing to mid majors in the tournament. While I can't say I expected to VCU to beat KU, it came at no surprise. Bill Self simply isn't that good of coach; there, I said it. And from what I read on KU fansites, it seems many fans agree with me. The dude is so desperate he just offered a two star juco transfer from Florida... this is while he's trying to recruit TK; he doesn't seem so confident to me. With that said KU has a great tradition and will always field good teams.

I'm really looking forward to:
Zona vs Gonzaga (Seattle)
Zona vs Florida (Gainesville)
Zona vs ASU (Tucson)

[GuyInTucson]

I am going to laugh when UCLA fans find out how much the Wear twins suck.

KU won the whole tournament in 2008, and time before that was 1988, so I expect the next time to be by 2028. In the meantime, I will enjoy giving my hopes up.

Also, interested to see how the Morris twins do in the NBA... whenever that's going to be back up and running.

Hey Bluedevil bandwagoneer, I bet your boy Singler is out in Spain getting humiliated just like he does in this video.

That was him then, this is him now.

My dad and I went to an AAU tournament to check out Josiah and Nick w/ the Soldiers last year, and actually afterwards felt that the best player on the floor was Ashley. That's saying a god damned lot...

[Still-ill]

So basically if we land Tarc, we're cheating? The internet doesn't seem to want to accept Arizona landing the top talent. If this were UNC no one would bat an eye. It's irregular to stack the frontcourt like this, sure... but it's happened plenty of times in the back court.

edit: I'd link an article concerning this, but I'd have to link every Udub, Kansas, UCLA, and Kentucky site on the net.

[Aurgasm]

I don't like Tarc whatsoever. I'd rather take Upshaw or House.. And if I was Miller I'd call up Shabazz and be all, "Let's win a fucking championship"

[boarderwoozel3]

My goodness, UofA fans can be insufferable...

[apostle2]

Worse than Duke/UNC fans, easily.

Yawn.

Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit 'A' ^^^

[Gribbz]

What can I say? Your trolling is boring. If being excited about top recruits makes me "insufferable" then so be it.
