Amid swirling controversy, the No. 19 Arizona Wildcats will host the Stanford Cardinal on Thursday at 8 p.m. MST in McKale Center to begin their final homestand of the season.
Before we discuss the basketball implications of this game, let’s just go over the adversity Arizona is facing.
- Arizona coach Sean Miller stepped away from the team Saturday after an ESPN report, which has the subject of dispute, alleged that he is on tape discussing a $100,000 payment to secure the signing of Deandre Ayton. Lorenzo Romar has been coaching in his place since, and Miller’s future at the school is still unclear.
