It feels like the Arizona Wildcats can kind of sneak up on people nationally no matter the sport. But this year’s basketball team is different. Mark Titus of The Ringer has Arizona 4th in his latest power rankings, but his section on Arizona is magnificent, which says that “It took a couple of months to get here, but Arizona looks like a potential national champion,” and “There are no role players. Everyone who sees the court is both capable of inflicting serious damage and actively trying to do so.”
But this on Arizona’s lack of depth is the best part:
At one point Arizona’s roster was so depleted that I’m pretty sure head coach Sean Miller sent one of his assistants to Dirtbag’s to offer a scholarship to anyone who came out of the front door without puking all over themselves and stumbling into the 7-Eleven parking lot.
