Arizona Post Game Thread

Great effort by reibe tonight. He grew up a lot tonight, just needs to get stronger.

Solo needs to get his shot going 1 for 8 not gonna cut it.

Tarris' presence was sorely missed tonight got dominated on the boards. To many second chance points given up.

Free throws in a close game they can be tge difference, they hit theirs we didn't.

All that being still had a chance to take this down two of our better players.
 
Frustrating on so many levels because we would've rolled that team if we were at full strength. Refs were bad and then Eric who was our player of the game has the ball roll off the rim in what should've been an and 1 to tie the game and then missed his ft's. Everyone needs to rally around Eric and let him know he's the reason we were in position to win that one.

The loss means nothing because we are nowhere near healthy but a missed opportunity to let everyone know we're the best team in the country. So bullish on this team, now get healthy and no more injuries.
 
Solo is really an enigma. Great on the curl dribbles into the paint. Terrible 3 shot selection and the wide open ones aren’t falling. Tries harder on D but still a liability.
I would not have taken Smith out at the end. Bradley ate Silas’ lunch all day.

Well what a hell of a game. Fought and battled to the end. Down TWO starters. Up 1 late, Solo misses a dagger 3, then Silas turns it over on the next possession... I honestly thought anything better than a 10 point loss was a moral victory. These guys will be DANGEROUS when healthy.

Really great game and experience for Reibe. This will pay dividends in BE play and come March/April... But come on - 50% from the FT line??? I get it was mostly our 2 centers, so something to work on...

Never like to lose, but if there was one game that I think we can pretty much all stomach, this was it.

IMO that was a terrible shot selection by Solo, they had more time

At the end of the day, this game is going to make us a lot better. Lets draw up a lot of sets for Reibe against Bryant (wow), and get ready for Illinois and Kansas.

Oh and P.S. Plz shoot a million free throws in practice. That was the worst shooting from the stripe in a while.
 
We should have gotten crushed without Reed. We stuck in there.

However, still a game we could of won - missed 9 free throws. Ball 1-8 from three. Alex, 8 points. Fix those just a little and it's a win.

The biggest take away - Reibe - 15 points, 6/10, 2/5 from three in 28 minutes. That's a good thing going forward.

How does Karaban only take 2 threes?

Hopefully Reed is back soon and we didn't lose a seed line today.
 
The comeback to take the lead showed guts and moxy. Then the moxy left the last 1:40.

The team is very good, and very well constructed. It will improve week by week, and be really good by mid January.

Reibe showed he's not just a warm very young body on the bench. Kid can really play, and will complement Reed nicely.

Ball's shooting is great inside the arc ... and horrendous outside. He needs to be hitting 3's at 40%, it will open up a lot of options for everyone else.

Need to tighten up the D on dribble drive teams - like St. Johns. AZ got to the rim a little too easily from several players.
 
Solo's 3ball is officially a concern, hasn't shot it well in any games including exhibitions and if it wasn't for some of the after the release foul calls that really didn't impact the shot the % would be even worse. Doing well off the middies and attacking the basket but the offense works too hard to get Solo open 3s to continuously miss damn near all of them.

-Great game by Riebe. I want him to keep shooting open 3's.
-The Junior twins, Stewart and Ross, continue to underperform as a whole. Individual moments but a negative return on investment as a duo.
-Karaban and Ball below average shooting.
- Peat showed several times one on one with Karaban why he is a lottery pick and Karaban is a borderline draft pick.

Tough loss minus two starters. Plenty of time to integrate and right the ship.

Watching Riebe hesitate on 3's was reminiscent of Sanogo in 22-23 before light went off.

Not worried. Not upset.

Get healthy and see what happens.

Tough tough game. Proud of the effort. Had low expectations after they got down 13. Better execution in the last 2 minutes wins this. Better free throw shooting wins this. Team wins rather easily I feel with Reed in there. Easiest loss to take in years.
 
To be honest, felt like a miracle they lost by only 4 and were leading with a little over a minute left. Look at the boxscore. Left a lot of points at the line too. Mostly Reibe and Koroma but even Karaban was 3-5 with a miss on the front end of a one and one.

Just get healthy and move on. Have some other tough ones coming up.

It seems like he's hunting for fouls on threes instead of trying to make the shot
