So there it is.
An Arizona team that earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in 2022, made it to the Sweet 16 and then lost three starters to the NBA, followed it up by earning a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament in 2023.
As far as drops go, that technically is one.
Nevertheless, the Wildcats head into the Dance once again as the Pac-12 Tournament champions and playing some pretty good basketball. They many not be a popular Final Four pick, at least not like they were last year, but they’ll still likely be expected to win at least a couple of games.
