Abram donned a shirt from Arizona’s 2001 national championship game against Duke in Minneapolis, which he attended.
“I remember it was so exciting to beat Michigan State, to get to play Duke,” Abram said, “and then I remember most of us Arizona fans at the time felt the officiating was not great because they weren’t calling the fouls. It really hurt. That stayed with us for a long time.”
Abram is as confident as ever that Arizona is ready to make its return to the Final Four, calling this year’s team as talented as it’s been in “quite a long time.”
Abram already has reservations booked for Glendale, the site of this year’s Final Four.
“I think this team has the potential to make a very, very deep run in the tournament,” he said.
