Eight is clearly the number of players that Arizona head coach Tommy Lloyd prefers to play in his rotation. In each of the five seasons Lloyd has been the Arizona head coach, he has played eight players in his rotation for most of the season.
There were a few seasons with exceptions to Lloyd playing an eight-man rotation. Kim Aiken Jr. was one of nine Arizona players who played double-figure minutes in 2021-22. Aiken Jr. averaged 13.6 minutes in seven games during the 2021-22 season before leaving the Wildcats.
Seven Arizona players averaged double-figure minutes in 2022-23 and Motiejus Krivas was one of nine Wildcats played at least 10.
