Expectations either are low for the Arizona Wildcats or the experts don’t know what to make of them. Maybe both.
After finishing fifth in the Pac-12 preseason media poll, their lowest ranking in the Sean Miller era, the Wildcats failed to land any players on the preseason all-conference teams (though Georgetown transfer James Akinjo was one of five honorable mentions).
None of this should be a huge surprise as the Wildcats welcomed 10 newcomers, six of whom played high school ball internationally.
