Boy, a lot sure can change in two years. And no, this isn’t about Arizona’s football team.
The last time Arizona faced its Wednesday opponent, Texas Southern, was in the first round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats were a No. 2 seed, the Tigers a No. 15.
The Wildcats, as to be expected, dismantled the SWAC champions by 21 points. Wednesday, they won by 22.
But both teams look a whole lot different.
Not a single player from Texas Southern who played in the 2014 game was still around for Wednesday’s game at McKale Center.
Just two remain from Arizona: center Dusan Ristic and point guard Parker Jackson-Cartwright, and the latter didn’t even make it to halftime before succumbing to the injury bug.
