Arizona never swept the Oregon schools on their home court under Sean Miller and haven't pulled off that double since 2008-09; this year's Wildcats are striving to change that.
Bruce Pascoe Over 12 seasons of coaching the Arizona Wildcats, Sean Miller won or shared the Pac-12 championship five times, picked up three conference tournament titles and won 69% of his Pac-12 regular-season games.
And if they really want to do a gut-check, the Wildcats could also look further down the calendar and notice that USC and UCLA will be greeting them upon their return to McKale Center next week. The Bruins improved to 5-0 in conference play after edging USC 60-58 last week, so UCLA is already two full games ahead of the Wildcats in the conference standings.
“So there are no games you can look past. There are no small games, and we’ve got to understand that. Those programs have maybe had more recent success than Arizona. That doesn’t mean they’re better programs, but that’s just a fact.” “Hopefully this time of year you’ve got a little bit of experience playing zone, whether it’s a 2-3 or a 1-3-1,” Lloyd said. “You just hope your guys have enough reps when you get out there and they see different looks that they can adjust quickly, even possession by possession.
OSU coach Wayne Tinkle even tried popping in two new starters Saturday at Colorado, including sophomore Christian Wright at point guard, but the Beavers still lost 62-42. Phillips began playing for AZ Compass Prep last weekend after transferring from Modesto Christian. Madehoops.com noted that Phillips had four 3-pointers and four assists over the first 15 minutes of a game.Kier warming up in G LeagueFormer Wildcat guard Justin Kier scored a season-high 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting with six assists for the G League’s Austin Spurs in their 114-107 win over College Park on Sunday.
