Arizona basketball has all the aspects of a preseason No.1

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Arizona will be one of the top contenders to win the national championship. Now, before you come after me with your “Sean Miller is an overrated choke-artist” takes, look at the roster that the Wildcats are putting out next season and try to make an argument that this won’t be one of the best teams.

It’s not that Miller’s choke artist reputation is unfounded. One only has to look as far back as the Sweet Sixteen back in March. Arizona blew an 8-point lead against Xavier, allowing a 12-2 run in the final 3:44 of the game, to have their hearts broken in a 2-point loss to the heavy underdogs.
