SAN JOSE – It happens all the time.
Players lose games. Coaches take responsibility.
This time we’ll agree with Sean Miller.
It’s on him.
Arizona’s 73-71 loss to Xavier on Thursday in the NCAA Tournament West Regional happened because the Wildcats weren’t equipped to handle what the Musketeers presented them, especially late in the game.
That’s on Miller. It doesn’t make him a bad coach. It makes him one with a bad day.
BOX SCORE: No. 11 Xavier 73, No. 2 Arizona 71
Here’s what he said after the game:
“You know, our team never really established great confidence against the zone … and that’s on me,” he said.
