Confessions of a Dissapointed Wildcat
I'm a huge University of Arizona fan, always have fan, always will be.But after watching Washington dismantle Arizona tonight, I can no longer in good conscience describe my beloved 'Cats as Sweet Sixteen bound. Or (wishfully) complete my bracket with Olson's squad as champs.
Arizona doesn't play team defense, doesn't play team offense and rarely displays productive emotion. Hassan Adams has improved tremendously and matured -- as an individual player. But Shakur's freshman leadership is not Jason Gardner's, much less Mike Bibby's. Channing Frye is as impressive (and limited) as always. Further, the big guy gets less touches as a result of disorganized offensive sets.
As for Salim...A shooter, yes. A leader, no.
