Is that Tommy Lloyd or Alabama football coach Nick Saban on the Arizona basketball bench these days?

Lloyd, the long-time Mark Few assistant at Gonzaga who has lifted the Wildcats to No. 3 AP ranking ahead of a Thursday visit to Stanford, has started using Saban's vernacular to describe the dangers facing his team as a result of their outstanding results.

"As Nick Saban would say, 'Rat poison, rat poison," Lloyd said. "This team is just sitting around and everyone is telling them how good they are. They've got to understand what makes them good."
