Simon says Championship! Many Wildcat fans remember that moment when Miles Simon was holding the ball the under the basket and Jim Nantz said those three iconic words after the Wildcats won their first National Championship in 1997. It’s time again once again Wildcat fans hear their team announced as National Champions!
It has been 17 years since the Wildcat have made it to the Final Four. The last time they made it was in the 2001 Final Four when they lost in the championship game against Duke 82-72. That year the Wildcats were lead by Richard Jefferson, Gilbert Arenas, Jason Gardner, Michael Wright, Loren Woods, Luke Walton and Eugene Edgerson – what a line up!
