Arizona Wildcats, Brandon Randolph embracing their new underdog status

You know, the ones that project the Arizona Wildcats will miss the NCAA Tournament or finish in the bottom half of the Pac-12, a conference they steamrolled last year.

He can’t help but smile when he thinks about them.

“To be honest with you, it’s cool,” he said. ”It’s actually making me kind of hyped because I can’t wait till we surprise people. I love doing that.”

Randolph is used to being overlooked, after all. When he played for a loaded team at Westtown School, he shared the court with elite prospects like Mo Bamba and Cam Reddish, who garnered the spotlight.
