When Sean Miller sat down in August and September to map out his plans for this current Arizona Wildcats team, he envisioned them to be an uptempo group, one that uses its depth and athleticism to score at a dizzying pace in transition.
But, through 13 games, Arizona is playing at its slowest pace (relatively speaking, given the change to a 30-second shot clock) in Miller’s tenure with the Wildcats.
Arizona is currently 289th (out of 351 teams) in college basketball in KenPom.com’s adjusted tempo stat.
“We’re not playing as fast as we have been or would have wanted to,” Miller said.
