Column: How does Arizona men's basketball match up with Oregon next season?

Next season’s Arizona men's basketball team finds itself in quite a unique situation.

Head coach Sean Miller has put together a star-studded recruiting class; starters Allonzo Trier and Kadeem Allen return, but they have a new challenge. Although USC is returning almost everyone and UCLA is bringing in a great class, two teams stand atop the Pac-12 Conference.

Although Arizona should be a top-10 team next year, the Oregon Ducks still stand in its way. Can this team supplant the Ducks as the top dog out West?

While Oregon’s season went out with a whimper due to a monster performance by Oklahoma guard Buddy Hield, the Ducks could be better than ever next season, despite the target on their back.
