As we gear up for Arizona Wildcats football, we seem to have a lot of questions about next season’s 2015 basketball team. Maybe we can answer a few of them for you.
We have had an eventful post season as Arizona Wildcats and “A Players Program” basketball fans. First we said goodbye to four of our starters, and painfully, we said goodbye to one player at a time.
Next we followed those four great players through the NBA Combine, interviews and tryouts, and finally the grueling NBA Draft.
Steve Kerr’s Golden State Warriors moved through the playoffs into the finals and became NBA Champions.
Then came the race horse which Wildcats fans adopted as a Wildcat and cheered him on for the Triple crown. Ezra Amacher coined their team “A Horses Program” for American Pharoah, and the racehorse and his Arizona Wildcat Trainer Bob Baffert won the Triple Crown, the first team to win since 1978.
Onto our first question…starting with No. 5.
Next: 5. Will Kaleb Tarczewski rise to the occassion and be the center/forward we all know he can be?
