Arizona Getting Disrespected Will Fuel the Fire

Coming into the season, people around College Basketball had Arizona being a team that could make a deep run in March, but many did not expect them to be a team that would be the best in college basketball as we look at the season from start to finish.

Arizona started the season with a 23-0 record before taking its first loss. They played a tough non-conference schedule, and that helped them get ready for an even tougher schedule in conference play.

Arizona Is the Best Team in the Nation

They battled against some of the best teams in the country that were in the Big 12. They came out on top in all but two games. In between all that, they lost a few key players for a few games, but that did not stop them from going through a tough stretch in the middle of conference play.

Everyone expected them to drop games during that stretch, but Arizona went through each game and played with everything they could and only lost two of them. That was huge to win the Big 12.

Why Arizona Could Run the Show in March

Overall, if you look from start to now, the Wildcats were the best team in the country, but some still are not giving them their credit. At best, they see Arizona as the second-best team in the country, but they should be at the top. Some see them lower than that.

The team that they are saying is better is the Duke Blue Devils, who also have been a great team this season, but it has not been like the season that Arizona has had so far.

Arizona is not worried about it. It is just going to add fuel to the fire for them, and they will use that now as they are going to start their run in what they want to end with, holding a National Championship. First, they will play the Big 12 tournament before they set their eyes on the NCAA Tournament.
