Twenty years ago, the University of Arizona’s championship dream began long before the men’s basketball season even started.
Freshmen Josh Pastner and Mike Bibby began shooting at night. Just the two of them. At the university’s McKale Center if it were available, but if not, then at a middle school or at a court near the football stadium. Three hundred shots. Over and over.
Over time, the group grew. Junior wing Michael Dickerson joined the freshmen, and then junior guard Miles Simon. One night, Pastner, optimistic by nature, told his teammates that they had no limits.
