20 years ago today: Let’s revisit Arizona’s 1997 National Championship

This year’s Final Four finally arrives Saturday and will emanate from University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Four programs who have scratched and clawed their way over the last several weeks will fight for a National Championship — two of them searching for their first in program history, one looking for their first since 1939, and the last looking to add a sixth to their championship collection.

The Arizona Wildcats are not involved. You know that by now. If you didn’t, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hopes were high this March as the Wildcats grabbed a share of the Pac-12 regular season championship and added a Pac-12 Tournament Championship on their way to the 2-seed in the West region.
