“It’s nice to come to the Honda Center and leave with a victory,” – Sean Miller
Nice is an understatement. It has to be more than nice to squeak out a third place slot without your star player, playing three games in four days, and almost losing your other star player a couple of times during the tournament. Let’s use the word ‘glorious,’ or ‘a relief,’ or a maybe even the word ‘miracle’ depending on how you viewed this weekend’s games.
Entering and playing in tournaments early in the season are a part of the process of getting your team ready for conference and NCAA tournament play.
