You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Or, in the case of the Arizona Wildcats, you are both the hero and the villain, depending on who is judging.
This became clear prior to Arizona’s first-round game against Wright State, when a reporter asked of either Dalen Terry, Benn Mathurin or Justin Kier, “Do you guys win a ton of games because you’re cocky or are you cocky because you won a lot of games.”
The reporter alluded to Terry’s propensity to engage with the crowd and Kerr Kriisa’s to engage with everybody in prefacing the question.
