Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Theres still too much time left in the 2014-15 campaign to officially call the Minnesota Wilds season a disaster, but its certainly heading in that direction. On Wednesday, all the frustration over his teams lackluster play finally sent head coach Mike Yeo over the edge and its difficult to blame him. Yeo stopped practice and laid into his club for not showing up with the right attitude for a team that has lost eight of its last 10 games and is fading fast in the Western Conference playoff picture. In case you havent seen it, theres video of Yeos tirade here (with the numerous expletives bleeped out, of course): http://tinyurl.com/obthdhn Clearly, Yeos actions are those of a man who knows hes fighting for his job, and its tearing him apart to see his players arent battling right along with him. Were not in a position where we can come in and be, let alone decent in practice, bad at practice. Im not going to accept that, Yeo offered in defense of his meltdown. Although the passion is real, there may have been a bit of calculation behind Yeos harangue because it comes at a time when it would be easy for Minnesota to feel sorry for itself. The coach knows if the Wild go down the road of self pity they are already lost and, in all likelihood, so is his job. But there may be an even more poignant (and less self-centered) reason for Yeos frustration, and it has to do with the off-ice tragedy that has beset his two best players. One couldnt blame Yeo for being pushed to the limit by watching what his star players Zach Parise and Ryan Suter have gone through this season on personal levels. Of all the Wild players, Parise and Suter are the guys who have real reasons to feel sorry for themselves, as both players lost their fathers over the last several months. Suters father, Bob, a member of the Miracle on Ice team, died suddenly of a heart attack shortly before the season. Parise, meanwhile, watched his father -- former NHLer and longtime Minnesota North Stars forward J.P. Parise -- battle lung cancer over the last several months before he passed away Wednesday night at the age of 73. Yeo and the Wild had been doing everything in their power to allow Parise to be with his family during this tragedy. He was allowed to skip practices when needed and Parise recently said Yeo had basically been telling him to just show up for games. Yet, through it all Parise showed more personal accountability for his teams struggles than anybody else. So, to see the rest of the team sleepwalk through practice Wednesday while Parise was spending the last few hours he would ever have with his father, could have added to Yeos frustration. To hear the coach explain it, hockey should serve as an escape for Parise and Suter but there has been little solace to be found at Xcel Energy Center. I have so much respect for the way hes coming to the rink and everything hes trying to put in to help our group, Yeo told the media Tuesday about Parise. Whats disappointing for me, right now theres more stress here. Hockey teams are supposed to be like families in that they support each other the most in times of great distress. To see his players not give maximum effort at practice during extremely difficult times for their teammates is nothing short of disrespectful. Its disrespectful not only to Parise and Suter, but also to their families and the memories of both Bob Suter and J.P. Parise. And if the Wild cant rally around two of their best players at times like these, its be easy to see how Yeo could reach the level of frustration he showed on Wednesday. But, the good news beneath it all is there is still plenty of time for redemption. Including Thursdays home game against Chicago, the Wild have 44 games left in the regular season to put the disappointment of the last several months behind them. The first step for the Wild should be playing like their hair is on fire tonight against the Blackhawks. After all, leaving it all out on the ice is a great way to show Parise they care and are thinking about him during such a difficult time for his family. Its a cliche, but sometimes its true that it only takes one game to turn things around. And if Yeos tirade and Parises tragedy arent enough to shake the Wild out of their slumber soon, it may already be too late to save their season. Yeezy Boost 350 Te Koop .

These programs matched up in the NCAA Tournament in March, and Saturdays top-10 showdown oozed that madness feel, albeit with a pro-Arizona crowd on hand. The Wildcats (8-0) trailed most of the day, but a Brandon Ashley jumper late in regulation forced overtime. T.J. McConnell scored six of his 12 points in the extra session, and Arizona won its 26th straight on its home floor. We could have lost just as easily as we won, Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. We just had individual players step up and make big plays to push us over the top. Gonzaga (7-1) committed five turnovers in OT but still had a chance to pull even after Elliott Pitts fouled Byron Wesley shooting a 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds remaining. Wesley, though, airballed his first attempt and missed the next two to end the Bulldogs chance at an upset. Ashley finished with 14 points, while Stanley Johnson and Kaleb Tarczewski netted 11 apiece for the Wildcats. Kyle Wiltjer paced Gonzaga with 15 points, and Przemek Karnowski recorded a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds in a losing cause. A meeting between two of the top point guards in the country -- McConnell and Kevin Pangos -- manifested into a showcase of both programs balanced lineups. McConell was the hero in overtime but only assisted on two baskets and missed four of his seven free throw attempts. Pangos shot just 3-of-10 from the floor and totaled eight points with ssix assists.dddddddddddd A pair of McConnell baskets opened the scoring in OT to give Arizona its first lead since it was 15-14. Pangos answered with a 3-pointer, but the senior guard turned it over the next time down. McConnell split a pair of trips at the foul line inside the final 20 seconds to set up a tense finish. Pangos narrowly missed a potential tying 3, and Wesley grabbed the offensive rebound, dribbled back to the top of the key and was fouled by Pitts. A tight first half saw six lead changes and three ties, and Pitts made an open 3-pointer in the final minute to send the teams into the break knotted at 27- all. The Bulldogs never trailed in the second half, but their largest lead was only six points. Wiltjers bucket off the offensive glass gave Gonzaga a 56-52 advantage, and two Johnson free throws followed by an Ashley bucket pulled Arizona within two with three minutes left in regulation. After Domantas Sabonis made two at the foul line, Ashley connected on back-to- back jumpers from the top of the key to even things at 60-60 heading into the final minute. McConnell stripped Pangos in the lane, but Gonzaga got the ball back when Johnson was whistled for traveling at the other end. Gary Bell, Jr. missed a contested layup, and after the rebound was knocked out of bounds, Wiltjer back-rimmed a corner 3-point try at the buzzer.
