@phxdivorceaz @GrantHughesNC It says Arizona fans and UNC fans are "going back and forth". Liam is an Arizona fan, alumni and player. The like is in support of Arizona fans sticking up for Arizona. That logic makes a lot more sense than him supporting UNC two days after Arizona made the final 4.

@MrRayHawthorne @GrantHughesNC Explain

Tommy Lloyd's son, Liam Lloyd, liked an Instagram post rumoring his father to #UNC. Liam Lloyd played for the Wildcats last season. It's Day 6 of UNC's coaching search, everything is under the microscope.

@ValueDepot_LLC @ClydeTheGlide28 @now_trek @MorningShow0099 Why wouldn't Roy stay loyal to the program? He wasn't passed over and then fired by the new regime when he wanted to stay.

@MrRayHawthorne @ClydeTheGlide28 @now_trek @MorningShow0099 I don't think anyone liked how it went down but Roy stayed loyal to the program. We don't make a decision without Roys blessing and Rob is loyal to Roy.

Saw Billy Donovan at Osteria Georgi in Chapel Hill for dinner. A close UNC booster said they were going to fly him private to San Antonio later tonight. It’s happening.

@SethDavisHoops I thought this as well but kept bumping on a coach having a ref as a friend

Just for context ... the referee is Roger Ayers, who has worked multiple Final Fours. Known for his toughness and also sense of humor. This struck me as Hurley messing with a buddy more than intimidating a ref. This is after Mullins' shot, so Hurley was obviously not mad at the refs.

@ValueDepot_LLC @ClydeTheGlide28 @now_trek @MorningShow0099 Robinson is the epitome of class and always took the high road but he made a few comments the last few years that he wasn't exactly thrilled about the way things went down in Chapel Hill when Roy retired.

@ClydeTheGlide28 @now_trek @MorningShow0099 Doubt it, Roy’s long-time assistant coach Rob was Lloyd’s assistant for 5yrs after Roy retired. Roy is also good friends with Few. Roy/Rob would know if he was levaraging us and Roy would have taken us in a different direction.

@jasonscheer There’s not really a wrong answer but you almost never see a coach go against at their conference when asked that question

Mick Cronin basically thinks Arizona sucks.

@Afoldes81 @GrantHughesNC He graduated last year

@MuseZack Most underrated bbq in the country

For Californians feeling left out of the barbecue bragging, a reminder that on the Central Coast we developed our own Santa Maria-style barbecue (seasoned tri-tip over oak) dating back to the mid-19th Century and it's pretty damn good.

@mattyoumans247 Who hates to see it?

Epic choke by Duke back to back years. You hate to see it. You don’t bet against Danny Hurley. But that’s unbelievable. Finally got an underdog when UConn +5 seemed dead

@Mjval2490 @Traneofthought_ @BuriedTreys How’s Cadeau going to do with Arizona’s bigger perimeter? He was worthless against Duke and Arizona’s perimeter is just as good if not better.

@Traneofthought_ @BuriedTreys Michigan also beat that team by double digits at their house just a few weeks ago. I like Arizona they’re gray but they haven’t faced a front line like Michigan and Landeborg is the X factor. Koa peat has zero outside game is he going to bully his way to the rim we will see.

Zona's backcourt gives them a better floor than Michigan I also think Michigan possesses a different top gear than anyone in the country. Ask full-strength Zaga We'll have multiple days to talk about what is, for my money, THE best college basketball game in MANY years Better than the UCONN/Purdue final. Better than last year's Houston/Duke. I don't even know when the last time two juggernauts of this magnitude have met in a game of these stakes

@stand4america83 @jasonscheer How did both teams do the last time they played Purdue?

@jasonscheer Arizona will have no answer for this Michigan team. Big Ten on another level. This ain’t Houston or Texas Tech

Said when the bracket was released that Michigan had a walk to the Final Four. Michigan-Arizona it is.

@shane_shidaker @SlimJimBets @BuriedTreys Gonna be a great game but Arizona can compete with anybody and has a big size advantage on the perimeter. Is Cadeau going to like in the Duke game? That seems just as likely as Arizona needing 3s to win

@MrRayHawthorne @SlimJimBets @BuriedTreys No team has the size to compete. Michigan does

@SlimJimBets @BuriedTreys They’ve been saying that all year

@BuriedTreys Arizona’s lack of three point shooting will show a lot in this game

@tyler_rucker His 7-10 foot pull up in the paint is essentially unblock-able outside of Wemby and he can get it off anytime he wants. Do y think he’s all star caliber but no reason he can’t be a 10 year vet

I love Koa Peat…But here’s a question. What skill is getting him on an NBA court right away?

@jacob_seliga Keep tweeting! Party is still going on!

Last tweet for the night. But seeing the pride from everyone on my feed that’s from Tucson or is a UofA fan or alum, it’s special to see. I’ve seen a lot of that being around SEC country or in the heart of the Big 10 in the Midwest. But there’s something about the University of Arizona and the pride the alums and fans have that rivals what you see in other places throughout the country. It’s fun to see. And I’m truly happy for everyone celebrating a return to the Final Four for the first time in 25 years.

@Daltin2010 @StockTalks21 I mentioned travels and you told me to STFU? I thought Purdue played great. Refs blew calls but had zero impact on that loss.

@MrRayHawthorne @StockTalks21 Literally not a single Purdue fan was talking shit to Arizona this entire lead up. Thought the game / interaction was universally respected but I guess not.

If Arizona wins this game. Remember that momentum swing when Trey Kaufman Renn picked up his 3rd foul.

@KyleTuckerCBB On the luck and good fortune spectrum of final four caliber teams, there is UCONN on one side and Arizona on the other

Crazy that it’s been 25 years for Arizona. So many Final Four-level teams. Tommy Lloyd is the real freaking deal.

@JohnPorkjr2 @JonRothstein Pretty genius strategy if you can make it happen

@JonRothstein Half his points were FTs Jon

38 minutes for Jaden Bradley. 14 points, six assists, 1 turnover The Big 12 Player of the Year delivered — again — on the biggest stage.

@CodyJamesMartin Cody keep at it!! Real heads know your value!

Arizona REALLY struggles when the refs are letting them play and swallowing whistles. Between that, and Purdue hitting 32456 threes, Arizona isn’t going to win

@Daltin2010 @StockTalks21 Never! Having too good a time celebrating a final four berth after that beatdown! Go get your shine box!!!

@MrRayHawthorne @StockTalks21 shut the fuck up Raymond Hawthorne.
