UA coach Sean Miller was asked on Tuesday’s Pac-12 teleconference call if he’d have to pay special attention to his team’s mood after losing big at Oregon, and if he was concerned they might figure Stanford would be a cakewalk.
After all, Stanford has never beaten a Miller-coached team at UA, and the Wildcats clobbered Stanford 91-52 on Jan. 1 at Maples Pavilion.
But… Miller indicated they’re not in a position to overlook anyone now.
“No, that’s the furthest thing from it,” Miller said. “The way we got beat at Oregon, you worry about confidence and togetherness because we got killed. … They outclassed us from top to bottom. But that happens over a long course of a season and you have that one game maybe you have to learn from and that’s clearly what we’ve tried to do.
“It’s now about defending our homecourt, defending a much-improved Stanford team and trying to put that loss behind us.
