Arizona Basketball: How good is the Wildcats defense?

Defense, defense, defense. Arizona Basketball head coach Sean Miller stresses how important is it to play solid team defense, every game. Especially in today’s style of offense in college basketball, it forces teams to put a lot of effort on defense. For the Wildcats, they have had their moments of brilliance and mental lapses as well on defense. How good is their defense?

This season the Wildcats have mainly played man-to-man defense and not too much zone. Occasionally they have thrown in a full-court press as well. With the depth the Wildcats have, it has allowed Miller to play more man and not worry too much about foul trouble.
