All the talk about Arizona’s chances to make the Phoenix Final Four has not been completely shut out of the Wildcats’ tight circle.

“A lot of celebrities are picking us,” UA guard Rawle Alkins said. “I think I saw Barack Obama picked us in his Final Four. So that’s pretty cool. It’s just a cool thing to see, but it’s not something I really think about.”

Allonzo Trier even found himself helping former NFL quarterback Micheal Vick make his NCAA Tournament picks.

“I'm just tryna fill out a perfect bracket … Allonzo Trier gonna be the X factor wit Lauri!” Vick tweeted.

Trier retweeted it with the response: “Appreciate the love coming from my favorite NFL QB of all time.”
