It’s not quite ‘remember the Alamo’, but the Arizona Wildcats haven’t forgotten about last season’s first-round loss to the Wichita State Shockers.
“I don't really have to remind them a lot of it,” UA head coach Sean Miller said.
“It’s a healthy respect and a healthy reminder of how quickly the season can end. We’ve had quite a few players that have reflected on that moment through the offseason and even this year.”
The Wildcats, a team usually making a run into the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight, failed to win an NCAA Tournament game for the first time in four years, falling 65-55 to the Shockers to open tournament play.
