Sean Miller exhaled and called the 84-81 overtime nail-biter one of the best victories he’s had at McKale during his time at Arizona.
“Just because how hard the game is and how easily it could have gone towards Utah,” he said.
And he’s right, Utah could have – and probably should have – won the game. The Utes had two separate opportunities with the clocking heading to triple zeros to pull out a win. All Miller could do was watch from the sidelines, but his players didn’t flinch.
“These are the games that we all signed up for when we come to Arizona,” Chase Jeter said.
