The visit from Curry obviously helped.

We lost to a team by 20 from arguably one of the weakest conferences in college basketball, who also finished 2nd to last in conference play in 2017-18. During the post game interview Coach Matheny said that ACU played with a lot more confidence. ACU started 2 seniors and 3 juniors. Guys WE START 5 SENIORS!!! 4 of which started last year, how on earth are we the less confident team?

Loser mentality. Riverside is 1-4. We better win.

We are losing by 14 with 4 to go to Riverside. Matheny has to go! And I mean now when he gets off the plane from Calif. Let them play without a coach the rest of the season. It could not be any worse or more embarrassing..

And there it is...we will be 0-3 on the weekend and Matheny will return only to talk about how great the new facilities are. I feel sorry for those poor players.

Coach Matheny treats them well. He needs to rip them. He is to soft on them. I feel sorry he believes these players he recruited are good enough to defeat any D-1 team. |

We don’t have a winning mentality in our athletic department.
Allowing a mediocre coach to survive in multiple sports proves my point.
We just made a $40+ million investment in hoops and this is what we have.
Embarrassing and almost not worth supporting.
It starts at the top.

"I think we found out quite a bit about our team this week," said head coach Matt Mathney. "We had as much fun playing and we were as competitive on the court – particularly over the last two days – as we have been in a long-long time. It's unfortunate that we didn't get to enjoy the sweet taste of victory but we grew a lot as a team and we leave this tournament very encouraged about the continued growth of this team in the near future."
Glad to see they were having fun losing all three games. Matt never says anything of substance. It's all cliched one-liners that never reflect the state of the program. It's like he's coaching a little league team that no one has expectations of. I guess you can get away with it if no one is holding you accountable.
24 turnovers last night, but they had fun.
Go Phoenix!

They had fun spending Thanksgiving break in California in someone else’s dime. I’m not sure who is our developmental coach or our who is responsible for breaking down game film but it is indeed evident that the entire staff needs to be let go. We don’t not develop players year to year and webdi not make adjustments game to game. If and when Matt departs the staff should be let go as well. Fires the entire staff.

Horrible start to the season. Nothing really to look forward to until fall of ‘19! On a side note, I have a good friend who is a pilot. He texted me a pic early this AM. The men’s basketball team was on his flight from Sacramento to Dallas, then from Dallas to Charlotte  |

The men’s basketball team was on his flight from Sacramento to Dallas, then from Dallas to Charlotte I think baseball has the potential to be good this year. They return a strong pitching staff. Go Phoenix! |

Baseball does have the 2 big time pitching prospects...you’re right about that.
