Arizona Wildcats Face Tough Kansas Match in Big 12 Tournament

The Arizona Wildcats are set to compete in their first Big 12 Tournament, facing the Kansas Jayhawks, who recently defeated UCF in overtime. After a recent loss to Kansas, Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd expressed the need for strategic adjustments, particularly to contain standout center Hunter Dickinson. Both teams are projected to be in the NCAA Tournament but aim to improve their seeding with strong performances in the conference tournament. The Wildcats have seen varied success this season, needing to score above 72 points or improve their three-point shooting to secure victories. Meanwhile, Arizona State will participate in the inaugural College Basketball Crown tournament in Las Vegas, focusing on player development and exposure despite a challenging season. Coach Bobby Hurley aims to leverage this opportunity for team cohesion and to attract future recruits.
