Game Thread: Xavier vs. Arizona (March 23, 2017) NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen

Good job X!

Miller is so stubborn he would rather lose then Mix up defense with Zone ( congrats to coach Mack for being flexiable with his team )

I know your post is out of post-loss frustration, but I really do think that is one of Mack's HUGE strengths -- his flexibility from roster to roster. He re wrote the offense for Jordan Crawford's year, implemented the 1-3-1 two years ago, and the list goes on. Huge strength for him as a coach.

What an unbelievable run! This is a special team and Coach Mack has more than proven he and this program are elite!!

I don't know about other X fans but I remember fans constantly asking him on his radio show if he was ever going to play any zone and he would get so annoyed with it. Miller really hates playing zone for some reason. Don't expect him to change.

Great game guys. Good luck Saturday.

Thanks! It was a great game. I hope Sean Miller and the Arizona Wildcats will get to Final Four sooner than later.

No I'm serious Mack is flexible and I'm jealous

Miller Needs to Mix it up he has teams loaded with 5* and he can't get over the hump ( only UK and Duke has had more 5* players then us since miller got here witch is a credit to him)

Go rain on your own message board man. We have no room for anything but celebration here.

Can't believe we ran a play for Sean tied at the end. Brilliant!

Its funny you mention that. Because I remember a few years ago (4?) I asked Mack during his radio show why he never ran a zone. I believe it wasn't until Kris Dunn that he was eventually forced to experiment with zones.
