EUGENE, Ore. — After his team’s season ended Monday in a predictably rough fashion — a seventh straight loss to Oregon — Arizona coach Sean Miller spoke optimistically about the future.
He said the Wildcats’ 17-9 season was better than he might have expected last August, when the UA started trying to replace seven of its top eight scorers with a patchwork of mostly transfers and international freshmen, and said they can improve next season with the “lion’s share” of their roster returning for a change.
“I believe we can return back to the top of the mountain,” Miller said.
