Three days shy of the two-year anniversary of his hiring, Jay Johnson saw the Arizona Wildcats’ 2017 season end in very disheartening fashion.
The team lost four of its last five games, and was dismantled by Sam Houston State early on in the final contest.
But let’s not lose perspective on what Johnson has done in two years in Tucson.
For three years after the 2012 National Championship, Arizona did not even make the postseason. They put up a combined record of 87-77 in those three years, and were just 36-54 in Pac-12 games.
