The Arizona Wildcats are in the midst of a “high pressure point” in their schedule, head coach Sean Miller said Tuesday.
The Wildcats (5-1) host Texas Southern (4-2) on Wednesday night, then travel to Los Angeles to face the No. 8 Gonzaga Bulldogs (6-0) in STAPLES Center on Saturday afternoon.
But it’s not just the opponents on the Wildcats’ schedule that make this a difficult stretch; it’s the busiest time of the year for Arizona’s players from an academic standpoint as well.
“(Our players) have a lot going on,” Miller said. “They have final papers, preparation for final exams, and in some cases there’s always those classes that finish earlier than others and there’s a number of our players that will finish maybe one class as the weekend approaches.
