The Arizona Wildcats improved to 7-3 after their 88-82 win over Alabama last week and are back in the Top 25 for the first time since their blunder in the Bahamas.
Momentum seems to be trending in a positive direction for Arizona. The Wildcats are enjoying a four-game win streak due in large part to noticeable improvements on defense. Now, with Rawle Alkins back in the mix, it appears players’ roles will be ironed out as Sean Miller tightens up the rotation before Pac-12 play.
While that is all well and dandy for Arizona, something else happened in the win over Alabama that should spark optimism for UA fans and could pay huge dividends for the Wildcats moving forward — Miller put the ball in Deandre Ayton’s hands at the end of the game.
