Some of Arizona’s favorite basketball alumni have been piling into McKale Center recently to watch the Wildcats.

Wednesday, an all-time favorite returned β€” 1997 Final Four most outstanding player Miles Simon.

Simon was on the ESPN2 broadcast, alongside play-by-play man Dave Pasch, who’s often paired with Bill Walton.

At halftime Simon chatted with his former coach, Lute Olson.

During the broadcast, Simon wished his father a happy 70th birthday and joked that he’s the second-best player born on Feb. 17.

The other β€” Michael Jordan.Β
