Hundley wild about 'Cats basketball

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The brackets will be passed around the clubhouse soon and Rockies players will make their NCAA Tournament picks, but for catcher Nick Hundley there is only one choice.

While a collegiate baseball player at Arizona, Hundley fell in love with Wildcats basketball. His affection will never wane.

"You always support greatness -- it's a really good program," Hundley said. "They've done a great job. [Head coach] Sean Miller and his staff have established a pipeline of talented NBA players that not only contributed on the court, but off the court.

"Guys like [former Wildcat player] Richard Jefferson, who built the Richard Jefferson Gymnasium, have done great things, not only on the court, but off the court for basketball and Tucson.
