Last night marked the start of “Life Without Lute” and the Wildcats jumped out to a good start, giving Russ Pennell his first NCAA coaching victory. FAU was not too good, and the sloppiness was definitely there for the ‘Cats, but we definitely saw how we can win games this year.  For example, when Nic [...]

Arizona Basketball is in a rough time…
In the past two years we have lost Lute the Legend, Kevin O’Neill, Josh Pastner, Jim Rosborough, Miles Simon, Brandon Jennings, Jeff Withey, Emmanuel Negedu, Abdul Gaddy, Mike Moser, Jerry D, and the list goes on.  This graveyard seems neverending and one would have to be crazy to say [...]

Bret Brielmaier will be coaching as a graduate assistant. Think we can transplant his brain into Fendi’s Abrams tank of a body?
Stoops looks to “change up the everyday routine” by moving practice to Fort Huachuca for the rest of the week
We talkin’ ’bout practice
Mike Bibby, Hassan Adams, Channing Frye, Joseph Blair, Sean Rooks and Jerryd [...]

When Mustafa Shakur arrived to Tucson in 2004, there was so much talk about how the Messiah has arrived. After four sub par years, and a horrible meltdown against Illinois in 2005, Arizona has never been the same. And things are only getting worse. Brandon Jennings (The Real Messiah) is struggling with [...]

Well Negedu is officially gone from the University of Arizona, but all is not bad. We lost Emmanuel but have picked up a commitment from Kyle Fogg, a 3-Star from Brea, California. We lost a five star and picked up a three star, which sounds bad, but when you think of recent history, [...]

Well, Tiger Woods was not a Wildcat, (in fact, he went to Stanford…lame) but he did just win the U.S. Open with a double stress fracture in his left tibia and a torn left ACL, which he has had for 11 months! Purely incredible. Almost as amazing as Nic Wise injuring his knee [...]

After months of bad news, finally something has happened to give us hope. The Great White Hope. Yes! Chase is back. Things are finally coming around here in Tucson, and it seems this new coaching staff is really getting things done right. We have now brought back Nic and Chase, and [...]

He is back. The season is saved. Nic Wise for Heisman! Picture him rollin’ through the Pac-10. Now we must await Chase’s decision (one week left to choose!) and Jennings’ SAT scores. But for now we can put all eyes on the two man game of Jordan Hill and Nic [...]

Kevin O’Neill… gone. Miles Simon… gone. Josh Pastner… gone. Last year’s staff is gone, hopefully some of the team stays. Lute has a lot of work to do next year with a whole new staff and who knows who will be on the team. Chase and Nic please come back [...]

After last year’s exhibition game against Team Georgia, I infamously wrote some buddies this not-so-expert analysis:
“When, four years from now, Nic Wise leaves the University of Arizona as the winningest point guard in school history, nobody in attendance of today’s scrimmage (against Team Georgia) will be surprised. 24 points in 19 minutes, 8 for [...]
