Sean Miller never got to a Final Four in his 12 seasons as the head coach of the Arizona Wildcats basketball program.
Miller projected that the Wildcats would face No. 2 seed Villanova in the Elite Eight and emerge victorious for the Final Four berth.
“The best thing that happened to Arizona in the last week is that they had to overcome some adversity,” Miller said. “They’ve had pretty smooth sailing when it comes to COVID, when it comes to injuries. Other than Azuolas Tubelis, who sat out and had to play through an ankle situation for a couple of weeks, they’ve been pretty much the same from start to finish, and now they get hit with this untimely injury. But how they responded, I think, says it all.
He continued: “Oftentimes when that injured player returns, he almost returns an overall deeper and better team. I like Arizona getting to the Final Four. I think those guys play for each other. I think they have a style and a system that has beaten teams with their defense and their offense. I think they have as much firepower as any team in the tournament and I think they're tremendously confident. Tommy Lloyd, he deserves a tremendous credit.
