Thirteen games does not make a season, nor really a comprehensive resume. Yet that doesn’t stop the bracketology crowd from putting forth their NCAA Tournament predictions.
Aggregator BracketMatrix.com currently has 35 projections for the 2023 NCAA tourney, and 11 of those have Arizona earning a No. 1 seed for a second consecutive year. Two projected brackets have the Wildcats (12-1) as a No. 3 seed, while the rest have them at No. 2.
Overall, though, the UA’s average seed of 1.74 is fifth-best behind Purdue, UConn, Kansas and Houston. That average fits with the Wildcats’ current NET rating of 7.
