With a 13-man roster finally intact, Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller said that the uncertain weeks from the Final Four through the NBA Draft Combine are “a period of time that maybe is the most important time of the year in college basketball.”
It’s the “It’s All About Me” season of transfers, early-entrée candidates and more recently, those such as five-star prospect Emmanuel Akot leaving high school a year early in the newest category of college basketball confusion: “reclassification.”
Only now does sanity return to a college basketball program of Arizona’s stature.
Now it’s about getting Allonzo Trier, Rawle Alkins, DeAndre Ayton and their teammates to share the ball.
“Sacrifice is a big word here,” Miller said last week. “Everybody has to play for the bigger goal.”
Good luck with that.
