The Arizona Wildcats will not have the easiest schedule in their first season as a member of the Big 12, but one college basketball insider predicts big things for the program.
Lloyd has built a track record of success within the program and looks to continue that in the coming season, the Wildcats' first as a member of the Big 12 conference., and many other NCAA Tournament mainstays, but Arizona is going to do whatever it can to prove that it belongs among the best of the best.
"While I love Houston, I’m not quite as high on Kansas this year and think Iowa State has potential variance on the offensive end," writes Sam Vecenie ofFinishing as the conference runner-up would be a boon for this basketball program and a feat that is sure to have Arizona earn a high seed in the NCAA Tournament.
"All Tommy Lloyd teams do is compete at the top of their leagues," Vecenie says on Lloyd's track record of success, "in his three years at Arizona, the team finished first, second and first in the Pac-12." Yes, it may be a small sample size of only three years and with only one team, one that has been a perennial power long before Lloyd signed on as head coach, but he does still have to recruit the right guys to the program and utilize the proper rotations on a nightly basis.
